Hi. I'm 42 days in with my fist bell pepper grow (3) and was wondering if anyone has any tips. I topped these plats a few weeks back. There is one leaf that has some dicoloration too. What could it be? Any tips on nutes? Pruning? Root trim? Etc... Any and all tips welcome. Please ignore the random lettuce plant I have in the middle. Thanks Troy Attachment Deleted |

Plants look good. On those leaves did they touch the lights? May be burn from the lights.

I use it in all my peppers. I do not use Calimag, I use Mr. Mucha-Stash (aka Mooch or Mr. Mooch). 3 ml at 30 days, and 5 ml from then on (every week).

Ok thanks. Any other supplements I should know about before I place my order?

None that I myself use. There are others on the forum that will experiment with different products. We have members who have been AG'ing quite a while and way longer then me. So in the land of nutes and supplements I go to my AG OG's for assistance and post on the forum for help.

Make sure the mylar you have around it is not touching the plants. I found when I used foil if it were too close it could shine too bight on them. I would remove the foil and at a time I just stopped using it. Using the mylar or foil was helpful to a point then I found it harmful. But that is just me.
Also be sure to do a dump and refill every other feeding. If you feel the plants are not doing well maybe do it before and start fresh with nutes and calimag.
As for the calimag, I do not know if that measures the same for mooch. I only use mooch so I can not help .

I can not tell if they are crowded or not. As for the height, I have no clue. I think most do grow taller. Did you top them when it was time? If so maybe you did it at the incorrect spot. I do see some peppers so that is good.
If you get a picture of the overall garden that may help. Also I personally trim out some leaves, especially the ones that are yellowing. Just snip those out. But that is not what everyone does, just something I do.

I am not a pepper person, so you may want to ignore this post. Neither am I a Farm owner. But just a few questions: When you add nutes , do you ever do a complete dump and refill or are you just adding the nutrients to the 'topping off' ? If the answer is the latter, then those nutrients eventually build up stronger and may be the cause of your crisping up. Just a thought that came to mind.
Nevertheless, I spy with my little eye quite a few nice looking peppers and many buds!  |

They look as if they are spaced ok from the view I see. Is there two or three plants on the left side of your Farm? If three them MAYBE they are a tad crowded but I think Nick had three in his 
Are the crisping leaves more near the mylar? If so that may also be contributing.
I am curious as to your answer for Corinne's question.

I change the water every 2 weeks and then add the nutes the same time. It doesn't look like the foil is hurting the leaves at all. There are 3 pepper plant on the left of my farm. I topped the pepper plants when they had 6 adult leaves.(like I seen on youtube.)

I topped the pepper plants when they had 6 adult leaves.(like I seen on youtube.) I think the terms are being confused. I misunderstood you. 'Topping off 'the tank with water when it gets low is what I meant..I think you were referring to 'pruning or pinching off' the top of your plants when they are about 5 weeks old?!

You said 6 adult leaves. How many branches was that? From what I understand you need at 4 branches before you prune.
If ever you are unsure whether to prune or not you can always take a picture to post it here and someone will help. At least that is what I always do  |
