    Grow light on outdoor plants?

    Have been spraying with neem oil, but will increase frequency and amount. Did a big dose this morning. Thanks!

    Grow light on outdoor plants?

      Right. I apologize if my post sounded like a request for reviews of the grow light. I'm really looking for hints on getting my peppers to ripeness before cold weather starts.

    Cull the doomed?

      Here's a before and after pruning. You can't necessarily count the flowers and small peppers I culled, but, you can tell I gave the plants a bit of a haircut. Goal: leave pods that will mature and enough leaves for photosynthesis.

    Grow light on outdoor plants?

    With the changing season, my Poblano plants are now getting less sun due to the shade of my neighbor's house. Reasoning that demolishing my neighbor's house was not likely to promote neighborhood unity, I was wondering if a grow light could replace some of the photons needed by the plants.   So...

    Cull the doomed?

    I have two Poblano plants that are looking pretty good and making a ton of pods. The thing is, it's cooling off here in Northern Virginia and we have less than a month until 50% freeze probability. Should I cull all the pods and flowers that won't make it to maturity in order to maximize...

    Will my Poblanos ever turn red?

    Thanks, Streetwize ... glad to hear my slow ripeners aren't unusual. Since they spend a lot of their day in the shade now, I put a GE Grow Light on them for four hours a day ... we'll see if that has any effect.

    Will my Poblanos ever turn red?

      Es verdad! I am planning on harvesting many of the green poblanos for chiles relleno, poblano mac 'n' cheese, and poblano cream sauce. Having so many fruits on the plant is a blessing ... I'm going to leave those that are most mature now on as long as I can to see how many red ones result. If...

    Will my Poblanos ever turn red?

    It's mid-September in northern Virginia. Temps are dropping into the low 60's at night and reaching mid-80s during daytime. Will have some evenings in the 50's and some days in the low 90's for the next week or so.   I have two Poblano plants that have lots of fruit on them (yay!). Various...
