I forgot to mention I am growing these in pots. They occupy a 22 inch and
an 18 inch pot filled with new potting soil. The leaves do show signs of
calcium deficiency as shown in various pictures I have seen. The leaves
tend to be crinkled and often slightly malformed.


I use 1/4 the fertilizer dose for potted plants, particularly when
using inorganic fertilizers. Fish emulsion is another good choice,
assuming the pepper plants are outdoors.
