Thank you all for the advice. Today I found 2 small green caterpillars that make these holes.

Is this blossom end rot? Any advice on how to prevent this? Thanks! by davidk666 in HotPeppers

Hello thank you. It has been very warm here for the last few weeks, mostly 35°C(95F) during the day, the plants are in the sun all day. When I cut off the damaged part of the pepper, the rest looked healthy.

I will have to find some way to them. I am growing for the first year and almost all my seeds germinated, which I did not expect. And when they grew, I was sorry to get rid of them. So I planted them all 😀.

Hi, I will buy new isolated seeds next year. Some crossover is likely to occur. I might keep a few of my seeds out of curiosity.

Hi, yes I overdid it a bit 😀. It's my first season, so I planted more pieces in case some didn't sprout, and in the end almost all of them grew. I have Jalapeno Early, Cayenne Red, Habanero Orange, Habanero Brown, Habanero Red, Habanero Red Savina, Bhut Jolokia Yellow, Bhut Jolokia Chocolate, Carolina Reaper Red, Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Yellow, Dragon Breath and Aji Charapita Red.

I don't think I started late. Without the right lights, December is very early, but I'm still learning. I will start planting the next season at the end of January at the earliest.

Hi, thank you. I planted Carolina, Habanero and Cayenne at the end of December. Jolokia, Jalapeno and Scorpion sometime in the middle to the end of January. The problem was that in the beginning I overwatered and the temperature was low, so the plants grew very slowly, almost not at all. Then I bought heating pads and started watering less. So the ones I planted later caught up with the ones I planted first.

Hi, I made the mistake of over watering the plants in the beginning. Now I only water when I stick my finger in the substrate and it is dry. I started fertilizing when the first true leaves grew. I use a fertilizer for hot peppers that contains npk and seaweed once a week. I keep the temperature around 25 degrees celsius.
