I've found that my eBucket pepper plants are doing the same as JoeyPepper's. But, I agree with you guys that they are languishing in all this hit, and should start cranking out when the temps drop.

Also, I have found that peppers ARE heavy feeders and heavy drinkers. But, too much Nitrogen will cause them to be super lush with greenery, and very minimal with fruit production. Better to feed them more P & K than Nitrogen.

Joey,
Flush your eBuckets (make sure they're draining properly), then try a light sprinkling of some low N, high PK fert. Here's an article I found that may help.

Stay hopeful. We have a lot of season left ahead of us. Just keep them alive, and keep us posted on your progress.
