I'm growing this pepper plant. how does it look?

It looks a little water stressed and short... But it's producing a harvest, so it's serving it's purpose. I see 6 peppers on it... They usually produce about 10, so you're not doing too horrible.

[Sevenpointfive]

there's another 4 buds on top. it's just how the pepper is shaped i think

[BeMuse]

That's good... It still looks water stressed though. Are you growing it indoors? I see it's potted and you took the photo on your patio... The yellowing/browning around the leaf edge and white spots throughout the leaves which makes me think you are over watering or there isn't enough air circulation where you are growing it to allow enough transpiration.

it's texas, humid so it could be burn? but it's half shade half sun. it's in a good place so i don't know?

[BeMuse]

Could be I guess, but the white spots in conjunction with the yellowing leaf edges make me think over watering. Too much water can cause cell death which appears as little white spots on leaves at first. They are too small to be flea beetles. They could be spots from aphids, but I don't see any in the picture. The most logical conclusion from the information I have is over watering. Peppers do like a little dappled shade so no problem there.

i have a lot of birds. could it be guano?

[BeMuse]

It looks like sunlight passing through dead cells to me, not like surface contamination, but you have a better eye on it where you are. You'll have to make the call.

[Sevenpointfive]

i think a caterpillar got on one leaf. other than that it looks good. if you look at the stalk it's sprouting new leaves at the base. but i'm a shitty farmer

[BeMuse]

Next time try less water, but about 30% shade and they will probably grow much larger taller and bushier and putting on larger peppers.

[BeMuse]

Some people in hot climates put shade cloth over them on tomato cages which helps to moderate the extreme temperatures in a place like Texas. Here in Florida, I just inter-crop mine under a canopy of papaya trees.

[BeMuse]

Most important thing though is to always get a harvest... You accomplished that.

[UniquelyBasic]

Are they supposed to look like theyve been punched?

[Sevenpointfive]

i kiss them good night. maybe that's why?

[douride2]

Your doing better then when I tried growing peppers.

[Sevenpointfive]

i'm trying to grow this serrano pepper. i don't even remember what this one is?

[douride2]

Mine ended with only 1 tiny green pepper about as big as my thumb.

[Sevenpointfive]

it's something!

[Iron_Man]

I was going to say nice job but I’ve noticed that they’re smashed when I zoomed In

[Sevenpointfive]

[888theGreat]

[Sevenpointfive]

i'm gonna hang them under my license plate after i pick them

[slatyb]

Very peppery. You are doing a good job.

[TX651]

Great. They might be ready.

[Sevenpointfive]

should i pick them now?

[TX651]

Not an expert on that. But they look ready to me. Look like what is in the store.

[Sevenpointfive]

but i don't know what pepper it is so i don't know when to pick it

[IsoUser]

It looks hot and spicey Unlike Republican backed

[DaySpring]

Looks alive.

[wankiam]

[TrueConfection]

[wassim97]

Its nice i think

[crossdressingrihno]

Looks healthy enough

[crossdressingrihno]

I think the color is slightly off but you're still fine

[crossdressingrihno]

Maybe they just aren't ready yet?
But yeah they should be less dark like a lighter color

[crossdressingrihno]

Not a lot later though so I'd say they're close
