click the pictures on the web site and you can see them better.

I would say the slugs are probably causing the holes and the yellowing of the leaves (draining nutrients). Get something to get rid of them and maybe feed them too, and they should recover.

Looks like a bacterial leaf spot to me. Try not to get their leaves wet when watering. Also dispose of all the leaves that have fallen off and the ones that remain cut them off and throw them in the trash. JMHO.

what part of florida do you live in mokikat? I am in pensacola. This is my first time growing anything, seems to be doing pretty well so far. I already have a bunch of peppers, just having problems with those leaves. How offten do you water, and do you let you plants get alot direct sun in florida?
thanks

Any other comments or advice?? Like I said I am new to this so any comments or advice would be deeply appreciated.

Sorry, but that looks like early blight to me. If I'm correct you're plants are hosed.

More sun (if possible until it hits those 90+ days regularly) and less water...let em dry out a bit. Also some fertilizer burn. That MG soil most likely already has time-release fertilizer mixed in.

Looks like you got some flea beetles on the leaves making pits (I generally don't care about these past the seedling stage, but I don't know how bad they get in FL).

So my plants have bacterial leaf spot, drained nutrients from slugs, early blight, needs more sun,less water, and less fert??? sounds like my plants are screwed! LOL I read some where else on the internet spray epson salt on the leaves, any thoughts on that? I only water every other day, i always wait until the dirt is dry on the top before i water, i am going to move them to get more sun. and i think the slugs are causing the brown spots on the leaves, and hope it is not early blight. so more or less fert and epson salt?? what are you guys thoughts on that.
thanks for all the help

p.s. I already have five red peppers on my cayennne plant down here in florida, how is it going up north. lol

Hi Sam,

I'm certainly no expert, so please don't take my post from last night about early blight too seriously.

I had similar symptoms on 2 jalapeno plants last year and was told that it was blight. The plants didn't do well at all and I ended yanking them just a few weeks after planting out.

I hope your problem is just the slugs, they're easier to deal with than fungus.

Good luck... you seem to still have a sense of humor about this.

Pick off the leaves and dispose of as they turn yellow.Get rid of the pod with the hole in it also.Plants look ok to me,just a lot of critters in Fla.

I would probably follow the advice of someone who was able to get the nickname scoville on here...lol. =)
