Plants are watered only when the cup is light as styrofoam, or when the bottom leaves slowly begin to wilt I learned from my mistakes last year. I fill the bottom cup with a small amount of water, maybe 2 oz and allow it to absorb into the soil.

Yes double 1L cups and before that double solo cups. Plants all germinated within a few days of each other ajdrew. It also spread within the proximity of the first symptomatic plant, that I will call plant zero to other neighbouring plants it was essentially the whole 4' on the right of the...

I can guarantee over watering isn't an issue, also I haven't used any fertilizers at all. Will take root pictures later. When repotted I used a different bag of soil. I'm really at a loss. It has to be from bad seed.

I need your help diagnosing and correcting an issue I'm having with my pepper plants. My plants are getting small black dotting on the leaves, and then the leaves drop. I want to believe it's bacterial leaf spot, but I'm not entirely sold on the idea. I had lost a bunch of plants and thought I...

So I self diagnosed as BLS, there are three possibilities of seeds that caused it because I used the same soil for every plant and nothing was re-used from last year. It could have been either the Jaloro, Farmer's Market Jalapeno, or the Chichemeca Jalapeno as they were the primary targets. It...

Hey guys, just an update I was busy with work last week so I watered the plants on schedule so I wouldn't have to worry about them until this past Thursday. When I checked on them I noticed that a few of the plants had dots of the leaves and were dropping leaves. I pulled them out and threw them...

Mnemosynesis 2016   Hello everyone, I’m back again this year after a failed attempt at maintaining a log last season. Between work, camping, and growing I had a hard time maintaining my log and remembering to do so. I hope to change that this year.   I’ve made numerous changes to my setup this...

I don't think that should have caused any lasting damage. I would try and keep the temperatures down to what they would frequently experience though. I germinated my seeds in December here in a room that is around 10 degrees Celsius on a heat mat and they all germinated fine - actually my best...

I'm in! I'll be growing five plants between work, and at home!

  I am 100% sure I haven't been over-watering. That was a year one mistake that I vowed not to repeat this year. I watered at the near-wilt stage (nearly lost a few seedlings in the process). I believe what was said earlier about lack of available nutrients was the culprit as it was mostly...

I did some research in to the colours of leaves changing to a purplish hue, and it explained pigmentation change - or a mild suntan. I've changed my setup this year from CFL's in a closed environment to a T8 setup that is open. I did not have these issues last year even though the CFL lights...

A few update pictures, been busy as of late. I thought the cooler temperatures we've been having would stop the bud drop on my peppers. They're still growing a lot of new peppers, but they are dropping A LOT of buds. Is this a normal thing?   I ate the first habanero that ripened on my plant, it...

Just a small update before I leave for four days camping.   Really falling in love with the Habanero plant itself, it's quite beautiful and stalwart.   It probably doesn't look it, but this Kung Pao hybrid is nearing 4' tall. I tried one of the green pods the other day and it was quite nice...

Same thing happened to me on Sunday woke up at 6 am to the windows rattling from the wind. Ran to the patio and a few of my smaller plants took a beating and we're leaning sideways. Grabbed everything inside in a hurry. Had to put a few potted tomato plants upright and secure them to the...

First ripe pod ever! Sliced it up and barbequed it with lime on one of the sockeye salmons I had from last year. So damn good! Thanks for the kind words guys!

I have 8 pepper plants at home on the patio and currently 4 tomato plants, soon to be 6. I have 9 more at work, and more getting added to it. I've probably started about 50 pepper plants to about week five before giving them away to friends and coworkers. I saved a few to try pruning and topping...

Welcome to my grow log.   A bit of a backstory – I’m from British Columbia, Canada. I’ve always had a penchant for spicy food but there isn’t a lot available locally in terms of fresh pods outside of your standard jalapeno, and habanero peppers. So I decided, eh, I’ll try my hand at growing my...

I started them on the Fox Farm diet when they were delivered at quarter strength, and they really appear to have turned around.  

  A few times. More recently I've taken the Happy Gilmore approach, when the new seeds germinate I will hole in one them into the garbage can.

I'm using Promix seedling starter soil, and Promix potting soil. There is a healthy dose of perlite in both but there could always be more.
