What are my peppers lacking?

[Basil1]

It's not a cucurbits at all. It's in the same family as tomatoes.

Off topic....odd fact...I read at Tomatoville, that some folks use the base of eggplants to graft on tomatoes....

Learned something new, makes it a good day already.

Just for the heck of it try pollinating them. Out here the cool nights affect both the tomatoes and peppers but i don't know if that is a factor there.

Been trying, they either end up drying out or breaking off.

So the possibilities for the above pepper are; jalapeno, habanero, datil, ghost and bell as these are the seeds I have. Bell,habanero and ghost are easily eliminated. Forgot, have cayenne too. First rule, label.

habernaro and ghost it isn't it looks just like a mature jalopeno usually eaten green

UF thought cayenne.

If that's 6 inches long, it's a cayenne. If that's 2 inches, that's a Jalapeno. It's almost too fat near the top in proportion to the length to be a cayenne, but it could be a trick of the light in the picture. I have seen plenty of weird shaped pepper fruits. Also, it could have hybridized. There's just no telling. If you eat it raw and it's too hot it's probably a cayenne. If you can eat the whole thing without being bothered it's a Jalapeno!

the new jalapeno pepper cultivers we have out here produce 3-4"+ fruit

[Basil1]

They are about in the 3-4 inch range.

Ok, so I added some Epsom salts and eggshells. The plants seem to be doing worse. The plant that is producing stopped. The peppers still on it have stopped growing and the few new leaves on it are stunted and pale. It also looks like it's starting to wilt. Trying to get rid of some aphids onn them by hand so as not to dump anything into the tank but not very successfully so may have to start over. Maybe getting enough energy up to get it going bigger outside might be the way to go also, we shall see.
