I just wanted to say thank you to r/PepperLovers for all the things I’ve learned here. It would’ve been easy this morning to see these 2 of my 14 seedlings and freak out posting here for help (which is ok and what I believe this group is in part here for). Instead I did some quick googling and remembered what I’ve seen and read here… and voila! They’re ok.
Basically these two just needed a drink. I bottom water regularly and for a time was fighting off fungus gnats (jerks). Hydrogen peroxide mix was helping but still a rando here and there. Letting them dry out enough in between has been a big help. Obviously you can take it too far (as seen above). But after a little drink (bottom water for the tray) and an unnecessary spray on top for these two and they have bounced right back. (If they hadn’t I probably would’ve posted here for help, ha!)
So thank you everyone! And to my fellow first time growers… as the title says.
Thanks for looking!
