My issue with the fungus was solved by not letting my roots touch dirt in my yard. I have all of my plants and peppers in bags sitting on ac infinity watering trays. All my fungal issues came from my yard being a former cotton field. No issues with fungus this year thankfully.Since @dubi mentioned it, how did you correct your soil fungi issues? I have a 2 mo. old Golden Tiger X Panama seedling that has no vigor. Am thinking about doing a copper fungicide soil drench and copper spray, specifically using a chemistry called copper sulfate pentahydrate, a systemic. I know it is prone to pythium as I lost 4 Ace seeds and seedlings to pythium rot few months back.

This fall I am going to absolutely soak the fake grass area inside my shade house with a copper based solution. I’m eventually going to do a bunch of raised beds in that area and don’t want issues after all that work installing those.
I had a vigor issue this year with a Panama haze that ended up being a phosphorus deficiency. Hit it with some high P seabird guano and boom, took off. Was kind of odd because it got the same feed as everything else at the same rates and it’s the only one that acted up.
