Pepper plan health issues

[jahwarrior1423]

I should of made one thread that included my pepper stem thread...sorry.

But I have a few other plants that are showing health issues. Can you guys please explain what's going on and if I can fix it?

I first started the seeds in FF light warrior then transplanted into FF ocean forest and am using FF nutrients according to their schedule.

Also, is there a website that I can refer to and see different plant health issues?

I've been told from my last thread that I need to take it easy on watering...I will be taking it easy on watering for now on. Edit: I am a new grower so I am still trying to learn.

What have you been fertilizing them with?

[jahwarrior1423]

Half doses of FF big bloom, boomerang and wholly mackerel.

It looks like you might have some edema in the leaves. How much drainage do you have in those cups? I think I'd pop a couple of extra holes in the bottom.

Stop fertilizing. They don't need it at this stage, and they sure don't need it if they've been planted in Fox Farms Ocean Forest. That's already rich soil, and these are young plants. I completely understand the urge to grow big plants fast, but sometimes it's better to relax and let nature take its course. If they were my plants, I wouldn't give them any additional fertilizer for at least a month.

Don't worry, we were all new at gardening once, and we made all kinds of mistakes, too. I've killed plenty of plants, had to learn from my mistakes.

[jahwarrior1423]

I have 5 nail size holes in the bottom. 1 dead center and 4 around the edges on the bottom.

I was only following the feeding schedule by FF. I'll stop until they're a little older.

Will these issues go away?

use a magnifying glass and look closely at the undersides of the leaves. mites? I think maybe.

I don't see any problem with what you are doing with the Fox Farms organic fertilizer dosages. If you weren't fertilizing, I would be concerned that some of those leaf issues were due to nutrient deficiencies, It does look like edema though from overwatering or poor drainage out of the bottom of those cups and/or insect issues on the bottom of the leaves. Pictures of the bottom of the leaves can be much more informative.

[jahwarrior1423]

It's hard to get a good picture of the bottoms. The picture with the top of the leaf that's white and looks like it's eating away and the picture with the wilting leafs have what looks like crystals on it...like salt (bottom and top of leaf). The picture with the leafs that are brown are the same underneath with nothing visible.

Google photo's of mite damage on pepper leaves. compare to what you have.

I don't see anything looking close to what I have. Preventive for mites?

[Blueaussi]

It doesn't look like spider mites to me, the damage appears to be more on top than on the bottom of the leaf. Plus there are usually small webs I'd they're spider mites.

Looks very similar to this
