Possibly from over watering and or poor ventilation...

Heres the pic.

Because they were too high bongsmilie

Id be surprised if they ended any program in space. Im sure they ended the shuttle though.

That looks exactly the problem.

I think it is probably overwatering. It's amazing how little water a cactus needs, and I guess with the RH being quite high it will need even less. We uppotted it in the last year or so so perhaps it is sitting on wet feet. Much thanks for that whodat, I think you nailed it for us. LEts see what MK's Super Cactus Granny Guru comes back with.

Awesome, have a good one vegger.

p.s planted some potatoes but nothing has come up yet. Not sure if it'll work but we shall see. Anyone grown potatoes indoors before? (like at a windowsill)

Some plants like Lucky bamboo if they are starting to just shrivel up from lack of water they can be brought back to full health.

I have a sick Ghost pepper plant. it looks droopy and it might be too wet from the rain? Looks like some necrosis as well....

bassman999 · Oct 16, 2011

Billcollector99 said might be over watering, I hope thats it and just no water for several days will bring her back to happiness.

billcollector99 · Oct 16, 2011

On seeing the picture, it looks like she is hungry too, have you been giving it any nutes?

I have 20 chili plants, they all get the same nutes and water schedule, but 1/3 of them got runoff from the roof during the rain....she is the only sick girl.

Is the pot big enough bassman? I can't really give much advice on peppers I have only grown one and it got munched by greenfly.

No DST the pot is way too small, but I dont have funds for better this round unfortunately.
Next season is gonna be a raised bed. I did re-pot it into a slightly bigger pot, and added some verry quick drying Sunshine mix4 all around the current shitty dirt. I also mixed in a lil humus.
This is the 1st time I transplanted without watering.
She is back up this morning and looking happy again!!

----- October 10th, 2011 Lemon Basil update -----

My lemon basil got to tall for my AeroGarden and it was almost starving the rest of the plants in it so I had to put it into its own DWC system. Also Here's a pic of what the root system for it looks like. I also had to bend the branches to make it lower.
