Thanks everybody! We seem to be having many environmental calamities, but the peppers are hanging in there! They are container grown, in sub-irrigation planters, and aside from the leaf changes seem in great shape, with lots of flowers and ample new growth. So so far I am addressing possible nutritional deficiencies, including CalMg in the reservoir, and a foliar application of fish emulsion and seaweed.

Wthe the exception of a brief sprinkle 3 weeks ago, zero rainfall in about 5 months, and 25 percent humidity at the most.

I plan to try some Neem oil tommorow, if Armageddon doesn't happen first, but still hesitant about diagnosing this as fungal, and about the Daconil. I might give in shortly, but it is so dry here, I'm still juggling the risks and benefits.

This was the sky at 8 AM this morning! Ashes falling like rain.
