A pepper plant infested with bugs is weak and inferior. It's using all it's energy to stay alive and not be taken down by the infestation, so it cannot focus on fruit production. Your plants have been stressed from the pests and then coupled with irregular feedings...it's a recipe for disaster!

Glad to hear some are on the mend though, Notrecruiting.

Love the Banana peppers Janan!!! Were those my seeds? They look so appealing and delicious.

: )

We grow organically and was wondering if you might have an idea of how much fertilizer to use on our pepper plants as they are not putting out large fruit and are quite slow. Which nutrients do you suggest?
Thanks
