Oh okay,
yah those are pepper plants..
they had got some Thrips in them so they have a little bit of cupped leaves near the head similar to how basil leaves cup a little bit certain varieties worse than others.

Looking for some help! I planted my tomato and pepper seeds in Jiffy Pots with the plan to transfer them straight into the ground in May. I have a couple of questions:

1) I've read that you should have only 1 plant per pot. I planted multiple seeds per pot and where there is more than 1 that grew, do I really need to snip extras off to allow the best one of the pot to grow?

2) Do I have to transplant each into a bigger pot or can they be transplanted directly into the ground, in the Jiffy Pot, next month?

Thank you!

Personally I don’t like the jiffy pots
They say the roots grow threw them into the ground
But not near as as when they are in peat moss

I would go out and purchase some 4” round pots and transplant one plant into the 4” pot
By the time it has rooting into the 4”
Pot should be nice enough weather to transplant them into the ground

Conclusions on grow lights vs natural sunlight on Beefsteak Tomato Plants

Grow Lights: taller, thicker stems,darker foliage

Natural Sunlight: thinner stems, lighter foliage more leaves.

Any ideas for what I'm doing wrong that would result in yellow bottom leaves on my tomato plants?

I looked it up (as in google) and read that it can be from overwatering or underwatering. I'm watering every other day and fertilizing once a week. Now that I have the plants in bigger containers (5" with drainage holes), I'm watering from the top rather than the bottom.

Nitrogen deficiency
Fertilize them every watering

 

[Mrs. Stomp]

@Derkd9 Thank you! I'll do that.

@Derkd9 Thank you! I'll do that.

You’re welcome
As far as water timing just water them when they get dry,
Not bone dry but dry, the plant should not wilt
