On the left is topped and right is untopped. Although initially growing faster the untopped plant has stopped sprouting leaves, even more worrisome is the yellowing. I got a new fertilizer with %3 calcium to prevent more blossom rot and yellowing but it only stopped the rot. I added epsom salts too. Nada. I hope someone here can help me. I think this plant is about to die and I'm worried as it has about 10 peppers, which are ripening very quickly too. The topped plant had one pepper that and mushy, I got rid of it and now it has about 12-15 peppers.
