hey 3g, in that second pix down, what kind of pepper plants are they? i've a few going, but mine never seem to get any where near that bushy... maybe i need to try uncle bens topping tech? lol..
pepperoncini peppers. Bushy but not tall. They do give me bunch of peppers. I gave them Grow Big in the beginning.

My habanero plant is still dam small. Been growing since April. And nothing

I have four Hab plants & 2 are small as hell. I started them by seed in April & put out end of May. Cool nights here in the east I think is the reason.

20150714_153319.jpg Starting to see one mater' on my florida 91'. Took it a while after I Transplanted it. Probabley because its about a hundred degrees out. Its only getting about four or five hours of morning sun too. It looks like shit because ive been kinda super cropping it and pinching off all the suckers which is another reason why it took so long to put off its first tomatoes. Does anyone know a good blossom end rot spray for heat stress?

20150714_155926.jpg So I got a question I forgot to add maybe someone with more knowledge on tomatoes can help.. My tomatoe plants out back were planted earlier then i originally posted back in jan i believe. the pictures of the ones im posting have branched out and kinda still putting out tomatoes on the top now theres new growth lower down like its putting off a whole new plant on each one. If i cut all the branched out ones will the small bushy ones start shooting upward. Tomatoes have been known to become biannual in my region. Should i hack away old wooded out branches? or should i just let them grow even though there not as healthy looking as they were back in say..april? Any help would be cool thanks riu crew.

Sorry I can't really help. But the first plant doesn't look bad. @RockinDaGanja

How long has the woody plant been sitting in the same soil? And you cover it to keep it cool? Maybe you want to freshen up that soil..

Yes I heard white plastic in extreme heat is the best to cool the soil down. I have all organic soil mix in both earth boxes. I have top fed twice with EWC and Have sprayed the leaves with ACT made with Kelp, EWC and mollases about four times its whole life. I also use happyfrog 7-4-5. I have some boogie brew I was thinking of maybe hitting both of them with that. But its been in the same soil since before december i think.

Man I had some last night. And you know you always gotta show who's the bigger man challenge. Damn... My tounge was on fire. Like I just licked asphalt.

Told my buddy to pot up a cutting for me. Hope he remembers. Don't know what it is about hot peppers. They hurt but I can't ever stop eating them.

@VTMi'kmaq what kind of peppers are those ?

I chopped all the old woody trunks on this old sob. Churned in some leftover roots soil Then Top dressed with earth worm castings some happy frog 7-4-5 and some garden lime. I also put some liquid sea kelp down in the resevoir, i don't know if that's a good idea or not. This plant has given me so many delicious tomatoes at this point its kinda just like an experiment to see how long i can get her to produce through the hot summer months. I also got rid of all those clamps and bungees and draped a net trellis over it ill secure that down and make it look all neet later. Time to medicate bongsmilie20150717_082458.jpg

This has happened to me a couple of times in the past few years....my solution? cut anything that wasnt producing off and in some cases just replacing plants with new ones considering how fast they grow when loved. just my two cents.
