| Hello all,
I hope someone will be able to solve my problem. I have been growing my jolokia from seed in a 100% vermiculite media. Watering with chilli focus fertilizer(pic below) every 2 to 3 days. 18hrs under T5 fluorescent lighting, plant tip is about 5 inches away from lighting. I have been facing this curling issue for a few days and the leaves have a slight yellowish tinge. Please advise.

| Vermiculite holds a lot of moisture and doesn't offer very good drainage. Have you examined the roots on your plants? The fertilizer looks good, especially since it contains the minor nutrients.

| Hi Josh, I guess now i will check the roots and prick it to a more balanced growing media. Yes, i'm feeding it at full strength. I will follow your advice and use a 1/4 str dose. I will update pics. Taka |
