If you had a very long season, which would eventually yield more peppers: two plants each in 5 gallon pots, or one plant in a 10 gallon pot? I know more soil helps a plant, but presumably this tradeoff stops at a certain point. You'd definitely get more pods from 10 plants each in 5 gallon pots...

Truevalue.com has a $10 off $100 coupon code if you order online and have it shipped to the store. That means my big 3.8 CF bales of promix were about $39 each. That's a lot less than the in-store price. Made it easy to decide against making my own this year. They also have the big bags of...

I hear that a simple mix of properly ph'd peat moss and perlite by itself is a "soil-less" medium, and that you should treat it more like "hydro" in terms of using a lower-ph water. It seems to me that the main difference between what I've just described and "soil" are amendments, namely humus...

I left my soil from last season in the pots outside since October. It seems like it's holding a lot more water than when it was new. It will rain, then stay soggy for a week +. Is that normal? It was mostly promix bx. I'm going to amend it with vermicompost and tomato tone. But, do I need to...

I have a water reservoir, which is a 20 gallon food grade BRUTE trash can.  I use a submersible pump to carry the water to an elevated, 5 gallon food grade bucket.  This is part of a drip system where I need to keep the water level of the top bucket even (for even pressure for my blumat system)...

Hi guys, I finally took some pictures of my "garden," which is a small urban stoop that I have overflowing with chilis. Here's my gallery. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10100803078451147.1073741825.604146&type=1&l=356b0c6012 What started as a rather desperate solution for...

Is it bad for potted plants outdoors to be in the rain for extended time? Even if you're growing in well-drained containers, the growing medium would stay water logged. Does it leach the nutrients?

Hi guys, For months I've been trying to grow some facing heaven chilis. I am already growing a couple varieties of the long, thin, spicier kind, but I've had just awful luck getting viable bulbous ones. I've spent a ton of money buying seeds from Europe, but have gotten zero percent...

All the leaves are turning yellow and many are falling off, and new leaves are curling and yellowing. Here is a photo. Is it a virus? I don't think it's a pest, but I could be wrong, so I have a magnifying glass on the way from amazon. Plants are in soil and I haven't given them any...

I ordered 2 packets of facing heaven long, 1 packet of laughing facing heaven, and 1 packet of little cutie facing heaven. The long facing heaven pepper packet says that there is a low germination rate, so you include extra seeds, but one of packets had only 8 seeds - two were broken - and...
