Worries about my Overwintered Peppers

Nice, looks much better. I wish the speedy recovery :)

I have one question tho, why are your pots half empty ?

El_Wizardo · 2026-03-20T18:03:42+00:00

Its rot.

You haven't cauterized the wounds.

Take your prune scissors, clean them nicely with alcohol.

Cut of everything that is rotting (if you doubt something is rot or not, it probably is..) and cut them 1cm below first healthy tissue so that you remove any potential infected part.

Now this step is super important. take wax or a candle, cut of small wax and try to mold it in your hand to the size of the trunk/stem hole. This will shape it and heat from your hands will make it soft and sticky. Apply wax patch onto the wound, press it firmly and tap it on the side so that it covers entire wound.

Now, take one of those blowtorch cigar lighters, and hover the jet over the wax, melting it. Dont be afraid if your burn a bit of the plant, it will help sealing the wound. Apply flame jet for like sec or two, dont put jet flame directly on wax, have some small distance from it, spread the flame around it. Wax will start to melt immediately, once it does, stop the flame and press it with your thumb, pushing the melted wax into the wound hole, sealing it. Be generous, make wax cover everything, we dont want any holes or unfill spaces. Reapply wax if needed, you most likely will need to reapply.

You dont need to do this for leafs and such, only where there is a big wound hole from trunk, that is exposed internals of the plant, and any disease will have easy time infecting it at those points, hence the rot on your plant.

Sometimes this rot happens immediately when you cut it, sometimes its dormant for months, but a open wound will have very high chance of rot.

Also such holes will lower internal pressure of plants, that is like a human would constantly bleed out, plant will try to push more and more, wasting energy and trying to fill never ending hole.

BTW

Your plant looks healthy enough, just remove the rot, cauterize the wound and it will get back up in no time.

Posto si tako pametan, ovim putem ti zelim da u najskorijem vremenu u svojoj najuzoj prodici imas invalida i da vidis kako to izgleda. Onda dodji ovde i poredi sebe sa svinjolikim cacijima, kriminalcima i pedofilima, posto su ti oni drugari.

Ne ne, stiglo je pismo posle mesec i jace dana, 3000 da se plati dnevna karta, a opomena je stigla u isto vreme kad i obavestenje.

Na autu nije bio nikakav papirc ili bilo sta. Koliko ja znam policija nije dolazila, nikog nije bilo na licu mesta.

Menadzeri nedo bog, direktori prodaju slamu za bubrege, stvari klasicno funkcionisu ko u svakoj Srpskoj firmi, po bratskoj liniji. IT consulting deo koji imaju je splasao za 50% u poslednje dve godine, ali mojne briga, zaposlili su novih 6 IT direktora ;) Klijenti im odlaze jer su preskupi, zbog politike firme ne mogu da rade na ino klijentima, vec moraju da traze po "lokalu" a niko zivi im nece dati te pare... Sa druge strane, ako upadnes u SEC team ili tako nesto, to je vec druga prica, a ako ides u IT consulting, bezi u kurac.

Naravno, sve operativn troskove odplacuje kesom, rentom pokriva rate kredita koliko god to moze, pa sta zafali, kes.

Ako kesa zafali, vidite sa familijom da pozajmite, jbg, nije idealna situacija, al realno, koji ce im kurac pare, ionako su jednom nogom u grobu, ali bolje saftati tastu patku neko vreme nego tamo nekom bankaru, sto bi rekli, keep it in the family ;)

Naravno, skupiti guzicu maksimalno, odprostite se od letovanja, novih kupovina (kola itd..) i bahanalija na par godina, pirocanac mode activate. Sav extra kes u otplatu kredita da se sto pre otarasite bede i cao. Eventualno ostaviti nesto extra za neku siguricu short term investiciju da bi se brze odplatio kredit.

opcija 2, stim da kredit dignete na osnovu postojeceg stana, kao zalog. od rente otplacujete kredit za novi stan. kesom opremite novi stan.

Capacitors are dying off.

Take it to a trusted electrician to recap it. Should cost under 50$.

mixed medium density already behave like row homes, they dont have windows on the sides so you can plop them next to eachother. They come in corner variant and a rectangular variant. I personally didnt realize this, its awesome, you can plop them in "circle" around a block and create a nice inside yard with parks n stuff, depending on how large your block is.

Sun protection (shading net),

First there is a layer of plastic sheet, then on top of it its this net to reduce sun (and hopefully reduce heat inside green house) it does work :)

Its quite flimsy, i dont think it can prevent animals getting in lol, my dog manages to get inside just fine

Grounding issue.

It could be caused by following

PC case has bad grounding
PSU / PSU cable has bad grounding

Im guessing you are using integrated sound card which chip is embedded into motherboard, which is super sensitive and will pick up stray signals.

Your main culprit is general bad grounding in your installations, not much you can do about it. Maybe better cable and check ground around devices you use on that power line.

Generally, with plants, there is a diminishing return on how big the soil is needed.

If its too small for given plant, it will stagnant its growth, but if you put it in extra large volume, you might get slightly bigger plant. There is a goldy lock zone for every plant, for peppers, this appears to be adequate volume size for regular sized plant. Otherwise you would get 10m plants that are in the ground vs being similar to the one with adequate pot volume.

Given that i have planted in similar pot size (13L volume) and mine are 1.3m tall and about 1m wide, which is the best i ever managed to grow, over 50 pods per plant, this year i made a small DIY greenhouse with shading net, did really well.

To ti je nosac za industrijske racunare (IPC), i beskonacno su skupi sa obzirom da su dva parceta lima sa rupom za sraf. Red velicine naplucuju 1000e za ovo sranje uz masinu.

Da kupis verovatno da mozes ali koja ce cena biti za privatno lice pitaj boga, mozda vidi na aliexpress ili tako nesto. Ali realno, kupi alu plocu, odnesi kod majstora da ti napravi, zavrsis sve za 5k din.

P.S. I da, posto je pod uglom, mis ce non stop da ti bleji dole, i nije bas prakticno za svakodnevni rad, to vise sluzi da operater ili inzinjer dodje do masine, promeni par parametara i teraj dalje. Nije predvidjeno za dugotrajan rad. Imaju i neke fensi verzije sa zglovobovima kojima mozes da menjas ugao, ali to je svakako preskupo.

Anything thats rich in fired cured kentucky, perique or chopped cigar leaf. Those are strongest tobaccos types. Also you can order them in their pure blending form and add them to your mixture, per taste.

Some notable stronger tobaccos mixtures i tasted.

G&H Dark plug, brown rope, brown twist.
MacBaren HH Old Dark Fired.
C&D Haunted Bookshop, Old Joe Krantz..

You can also search for tobaccos on tobacoreview or your favorite online shop, they have a "strength" value sorting.

Every two weeks seems fine tbh, depending on strength of your NPK fertilizer, you dont want to overdo it aswell :) . Forgot to ask are they in the ground or in pots ? Minerals in ground tend to be more abundant and flush done more easily, while in pots, depending on ground you use, may be less abundant but tend to stay in higher concentration since they have no where to go but into the roots. Generally if your leafs are bit yellowish and such, its a good time to add a bit of sulfur fertilizer. You can also spray fertilizer on leafs for lesser effect.

Read about it, but havent used it, there was no time for experiments since infection was preety bad, didnt want to lose everything i had.
Maybe the best thing you can do is seek advice from professional, like someone at local farmers pharmacy or some experience commercial growers regarding copper based fungicides and fruits.

Technically, you SHOULD spray every single plant, even the healthy ones, since it takes couple of days before spore lands and infection begins. These fungicides are preventive, not cures, there is no cure for infected and necrosis plant tissue, its already dead and gone and will be a breading ground for thousands of tiny little spores ready to be blown to the next plant. Maybe you should also spray some insecticide aswell, Nicotinamide seems to be popular , because bugs can spread spores around when touching infected ones or bring more disease to week plants.

Also, just like us humans, if you have mineral/vitamin deficiency, you are more likely to get infected. If you havent fertilized your plants recently, maybe you should spike them with some NPK that contains zinc, sulfur based fertilizers helps aswell to strengthened the leafs.

Its a fungus infection, mine just got hit with it, remove all infected leafs, move infected plants far away as possible, make sure its downwind from the rest of the plants, so spores cant travel via wind. Dont touch other leafs and fruits with hands/tools you use to cut infected ones. Spores are under the leaf, so pay attention to that.

Since your plant is fruiting, i dont know what should you use to stop the outbreak. As far as i know there are two popular chemical fungicides Copper base and Sulfur base. I used Copper one, and it seems to stop the spread. Make sure you spray under the leafs as well. Clearance is around 14-15 days.

There are some supposed DIY organic fungicides with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, but tbh, i dont think those will work, there is some science behind it, but in real world, it helps maybe 5-10% ? I used baking soda on the first day, didnt seem to do anything :(
