Done and done...foliar spray is done. Now, if that doesn't correct the poor growth and yellow leaves on some of the hot peppers, then it's a phosphorus deficiency and I'll proceed from there.

The sweet peppers look great but the hot peppers leave much to be desired right now, even though they are blooming....should I pinch those off? These plants are only about 4-6 in. high.
I pinch all flowers off until plants are at least a foot tall and the foliage looks nice and green

I remember reading about that and my mother has told me that in the past, but I just needed to be sure....poor things are bad enough without me picking on them! :gig But pick on them I will. :thumbsup

I use a spray bottle in the greenhouses, that's how I found out for sure the plants liked it. When I plant outside I like to put a pinch into the hole. Happy to see others have had the same good luck with their crops.

Pepper Queen, Both tomatoes and peppers bode well with pinching, guess you know that.
