I only grow a few pepper plants each season and tend to treat them poorly and feed them the Texas Tomato food that I give the tomatoes. I have 6 pepper plants in an EB that produced a lot earlier then looked like death warmed over. I almost pulled them but instead a few weeks ago I started dosing them with calcium nitrate and magnesium down the tube at a 2 to 1 ratio. They look so much better now and are loaded with blooms in time for another good flush of peppers.

I dont really want to use TTF on them again. Should I try a fish emulsion or something different?

I have 2 cups of 10 10 10 in the box from earlier in the season.

What is your favorite pepper fertilizer for potted pepper plants? I'm looking for liquid or liquid soluble options for quick results since there are so many blooms and baby peppers on the plants right now.
