Maybe it does not like the other plants. I remember my Sweet Jalapeno was in with two others and it did not do well either. I hope it recovers for you.

The Sweet Jalapenos are the larger plants in the garden to the left. These three are all Numex. Maybe giving them nutes early is bothering them. Tomorrow morning I'm going to overwater them. Maybe diluting the water will help.

Sheesh, plants have their own little personalities. They better start playing nice together.

I dumped the water and refilled with tap water.

Added 23 ml Nutes, 18 ml Mooch.
Note: There is significant purpling to the newer (top) leaves on these plants. Hopefully the fresh nutes will help.

mike, do you think the phosphorus in a bloom booster would help?
It helps when my plants start showing unwanted purpling.
But some plants are supposed to have purple leaves. I hope you figure it out.

I don't know, Sher. There is Phosphorus in the AG Nutes, too (I think). I just gave them fresh water and nutes. I'm going to need to see if that helps, first. These plants are all too small for this stage. But, they are uniformly small. I'm starting to see some tiny buds, too. Those have to go.
I'll let you all know.

I am stumped by that patterning of purple.

What I keep coming back to is my air conditioner. I have my air set to 76°. When it's on I feel a bit cold. Saying that, I just changed the set point to 77°f. It shut right off. I also keep the energy saver on. I turn the energy saver off when I leave for work. I have the air come back on when I leave work. It's not cool when I get home, but it soon is.
I bought the air conditioner last year in August. It's a good thing thru-the-wall air conditioners aren't that popular. It's either that or a portable. That is what I've been using for 5 years.

Added 24 ml Nutes, 20 ml; Mooch, 6 ml GH Liquid KoolBlloom. I hope this doesn't knock off the existing blooms. BTW, I don't see any purpling, anymore.  |

I do not think that the purpling goes on for more then a few weeks at most. At least from when I have had it.

These needed to have the undergrowth cleared out too.  |

I've been wondering whether it was okay to leave pepper blooms "stranded" without nearby leaves. I guess that it's okay.  |

Yes, as long as the plant has enough leaves it should be good. Don't be afraid if blooms drop. Many do on pepper plants.

No Peppers, what a shame. The Orange Spice gave me so many.
