i dunno if i should start adding nutes to my peppers. it my first time growing these things and i dont even know what kind of nutes to use. would fox farm grow big work for now. they are probably a month to a month and a half old. i dunno i didnt keep track. but i did notice my jalepeno peppers leaves are starting to turn pale green and curl under. my serrano peppers leaves are still pretty dark green though.

thanks anyone who helps.

I've never really needed to use ANY ferts for pepper plants, if grown in soil. If you are hydro go for it, a month old is about the time to start adding ferts at a diluted amount.

If you are growing in soil and the leaves are turning yellow and curling, it could easily be overwatering. Is that a possibility?

yeah im in soil... i dunno cuz when i was in cali for 9 days my sister watered them and she watered them everyday now when i got back i waterted them once every 2 or 3 days. maybe im just wtaering too much when i do water

Don't go by a time table. Don't water once a day, or once every two days, or whatever.

Stick your finger into the soil. If it's dry, then water. If there is some moisture there, wait a day or two.

When it needs watering, pick up the pot. Feel the weight of it, see how light it feels. Then water it, and feel the weight after watering it.

You will eventually get used to the feeling of a dry pot, so you can pick it up and tell if it needs watering.

Usually what I do (the lazy man's way) is to just wait till the plant starts to droop a little bit. When you flick one of the leaves and it just sags there, instead of having it's perky nature self like it normally does, that means it needs water. If you don't catch it right away, a plant will usually wilt for about two or three days before it dies, so if you are around the plant alot you can tell it needs water before it's too late.

thanks for the tip... watering is one of the thinks i am always nervous doing. i dont have a problem pruning, fiming, transplanting, harvesting... nothing. just plain ole watering still makes me nervous lol cuz i have killed them before and i dont wanna do it again.

dont piss on your plants. piss supplies small traces of N when PROPERLY diluted but do you really want to piss on something your gonna eat or smoke?

what load of bull,piss contains high amounts of urea/nitrogen also likely to contain all the minerals a plant needs and most of the trace elements,all of it totally broken down and immediately bio-avaliable for the plant to use,also good bacteria that help to balance the floraculture in the soil, what do you think ferts are made of buddy?lol air? half an hour from my house there are two fert mines 1 is ammonium nitrate mine otherwise known as urea,aka,petrified dino piss and crap, the other 1 is a phosphate mine,aka stuff scraped of f a poisonous steam vent of a volcano. They also get ferts from the meat works here i.e blood'n'bone,bone meal,and they collect the crap that comes out of the cows intestines, compost an potting mix of most generic brands is made at the landfill after grading the greenwaste

dont bother pissin on your peppers howeva,i grow em every year and the seem to love crap soil and no nutes and i basically dont water em unless its a drought or they start to die,if you give them nitrogen fert they do grow faster but you end up with hardly any peppers,the yellowing leaves you got is bound to be too much water
