Title: Mouldy peppers
Post by: luckydog on July 23, 2010, 10:16:43
For the first time ever, I have several healthy looking pepper plants in my greenhouse that are just starting to produce fruit.
Some of the fruit on each plant are looking mouldy and drop off when I touch them.   I'm giving them a weekly dose of tomato feed & have also been spraying the leaves occasionally with a seaweed spray.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?  Is it the spraying that's causing the mould?

At this rate I'll have no peppers left to pick!   ::) ;D

If it's the standard grey mould or botrys I'd leave off the spraying and improve the ventilation it sounds too humid for them...  :-\
