I added a teaspoon of non fat dry powdered milk to all of my 3 gallon tomato and pepper containers awhile back and I've been foliar spraying the epsom salt water on them once a week trying to keep the blossom end rot at bay and haven't seen any except on a couple green tomatoes on one plant before I gave them the milk. I don't know if the milk trick takes care of the plant's calcium needs but it didn't seem to hurt anything.

id bet the milk is water soluble and would get washed out every 2-3 weeks. so itd need to be reapplied every 2-3 weeks. same reason why you can add water to dehydrated milk and it becomes milky water with no sediment.

its NOT blossom end rot
no sign of insect damage not even fleas beetle holes or any other common problems?
has the temps been hot like hell degrees?
peppers will drop fruit easy when temps hit over 90f.another thing is lack of proper pollination they do that sometimes.
g/l with the grow
