Update #3
Do you know when you fed last? Could they be due?
About 7 days ago.
Do they look better today? Did you take that picture in the day or at night? I find that the plants tend to get sleepy at night and are perky during the day at times. Also depends on the humidity and temps. Are you feeding them enough or too much? Any supplements?

Hi Jay, I have not used either. I do know that mr. mucha-stash has been unavailable on amazon for some time. I believe the difference between that and others is that it has more Nitrogen than the GH CalMag? I never did use on my peppers and tomatoes as I never had an issue. The advice I got here was not to use it unless I am seeing a need...although most people do seem to use something. I think people tend to add after about 30 days. I am sure someone else will reply with more substantive info, but thought I would offer my limited knowledge Those look like great peppers. My winter break is coming to an end soon too, and am doing some AG projects before it does as well!
I only use Mucha-Stash. You can find a thread on about amounts and when in the Nutrient and Supplements Board. I know of one place that has Mr. Mucha-Stash. They are located in Michigan and do ship. Growco Garden Supply.
Shawn thanks! I found all kinds of good info! I remember reading that section because I bought most of those supplements, I then couldn't remember where I read it!
