*runs in and throws down some random weigh-ins*    This year sucked, and not for pepper growing (not that my poor peppers haven't faced some serious neglect. There was a bit of time I simply couldn't get to them.)   I'm faced some crap this year, and we are in the process of moving, so I'm sorry...

I did have a few branches break (that had pods!  :tear: ) in a storm. Otherwise, finally had one ripen, and due to the debate of red vs green I picked a green one to try side by side. The red was surprisingly hot after a few bites of pepper -> chili dog -> chew.  :party: Doing the same with the...

  We had a storm not long before the last pic (finally, a break from 100+ degree weather!)  and a few leaves came off and landed in a few of the pots. I was standing on the other side of the fence, which has a strangely latched gate due to escape artist (and plant destroying) dogs, and hadn't...

Finally got my Growdown plant into it's final home a few days ago. It was a stupidly hot day (101) so it was a little thirsty.     I also miscalculated soil for my other plants, so ehm, I think I'll just roll with whats in the container.     This morning:

I had been mixing my soil with a pretty simple mix of peat, compost, and perlite. That was a big mistake. I have a few nutrient deficiencies going on.   The four on the right in back, and the two on the right in the middle are in basic Miracle Grow potting soil, just to see how it would...

I'm still here, still in this. Got busy, my plants aren't huge, but are getting there. Especially after my large near kill-off thanks to dogs.   Also, my growdown plant and one other of the original chili red are my only plants that suddenly ended up with aphids... gah!   They actually seemed to...

I'm still alive, and so is my grow, though I've hit several points where my season looked like it was over.   I lost almost my entire 2nd round, 30ish seedlings, apart from 3 or 4. I replanted some of those, and still ended up losing quite a few of them again.   Nearly all of my year old plants...

That wimpy looking Cumari do Para didn't make it. It never really even tried to take off.  :mope:   I also lost two of my CGN-21500 and one Coyote Zan. I hadn't gotten to potting up those, and they looked like they dried up a little too quick outside with our 87F days lately on a shelf of the...

After my last post that I only had one seedling, and none of the others I put into a cup with paper towel were showing any signs of doing anything, they heard me. I had looked at them that morning, and no sign of anything. *Immediately* after posting I checked, and all 5 came to life.    They...

Ehhhh, I got a little carried away mixing soil and moving plants around and forgot to take many pics, but I moved 8-10 of my year old solo cup plants into 2 gallon poly bags. They aren't fitting as neatly into my greenhouse this way, so they are starting to line the fence for the time being in...

      That's exactly where they came from.  ;) It was one of the freebies I got with my order that I got pretty excited about, a cross between a Bahamian goat and some superhot. 

I'm not dawdling as much as last year, though I'm kinda thinking I needed a bigger dose of diesel per watering. I still only have one up, and the others I put in a cup with paper towel to germ are doing absolutely nothing.   My single SLCR seedling moved up to a solo cup today, and is enjoying...

  I'm still pretty new to growing, so I couldn't say for sure. There did seem to be a lull in flowers setting during the hottest parts, but that very well could've been me.  :lol:

  I've have plants in clear solo cups for ~9 months plus and outside. There is some algae, they are very rootbound, but I haven't noticed any impact on them myself, and I live in N. Florida.        My growdown plant is still just coming out with it's first teeny first leaf. I put a couple more...
