Okay, we're not quite that bad, it's more like 300 ppm here.

The soilless mix is "Gro-Pro" from http://www.evergreensupplyonline.com/soil.html, there's an analysis of it at http://www.evergreensupplyonline.com/files/14-03-28%20Gro-Pro%20Potting%20Soil.pdf. I've been using tap water (from the hose) to water, and our water is very hard -- could that be a...

I've been watering every other day; I'll try backing that off to twice per week, though that's hard to do when they look sickly. No fertilizer, is that the problem? I'm using a soilless mix from a local supplier, maybe it's a bit hot? Almost all of the peppers have developed these brown spots...

This is a very fair answer, thanks. I've been giving them a good soak, but my definition of "a good soak" might not be the same as yours. It's tough when there are so many different variables (pepper type, container, water frequency, water amount, soil, ferts) to control for, but I'll give it my...

I planted them outside about a month ago, so they should be beyond the initial shock. The Jalapenos and Banana peppers are doing just fine (meh...)

Sorry for the cross-post (I posted these pics in my glog), but I could use some reassurance. I've planted all of my seedlings outside, in raised beds -- the milder peppers (Jalapeno, Banana) are growing okay, but the superhots are growing very slowly. I don't know whether that's just part of...

It's been a while, time for an update. I have all the plants in their final homes now -- mostly in beds, some in Walmart bags, some still in 1gal root pouches looking for a home. The milder peppers (Jalapeno, Banana) are growing okay, but the superhots are growing very slowly. I don't know...

Since you asked ... when I draw this all out, it feels a bit overwhelming. Am I taking this too far? I'm trying to have two of most of the plants (one in a Walmart bag, one in a container). The Walmart bags will probably end up being scattered around my (largish) back yard, instead of being...

I've gotten a whole bunch more seeds now; I updated the first post with a list sorted by type.  I was originally planning on planting 2 of every plant -- one in a container and one in a raised bed.  I now have too many peppers for that to be practical, so I've had to make some decisions...

Got these seeds yesterday, thanks!

I got my seeds today, thanks a bunch!

I got mine today -- impressively fast and well-packaged.

Just one last question -- did you mean I should do the weave with the peppers, or the tomatoes? I'll sort the plants by size and move the bigger ones to the corners. Sounds like I need to go buy some more dirt!

Wow, okay, thanks for the warning. I'll buy a couple of 18 gallon totes and put the Manzano and the Aji Fantasy in there instead of in the bed, which will let me move 2 of the other peppers back to the beds. Do you think I should move 2 tomatoes into the totes and then put the other 2 peppers...

Wait, is that good or bad? I've updated the first post with the latest list -- I'm running out of room! I was already planning on growing one of each in a Walmart bag, but some plants will only get a Walmart bag and no spot in the bed. Here's how I'm currently planning on planting them...

I just got these (and some extras) in the mail today -- thanks for including some of the pods, they pack a nice little kick (for the size)! Even the seeds seem small, compared to other peppers.

Soil came, an hour early!  :woohoo:

It's a "PlantSmart" (Amazon link) -- you can see it in the first photo, it's the plastic flower-looking thing planted inside the bed. You push it into the ground and then leave it there for at least 24 hours, then pull it up and connect it to your computer to get the data. It logs sunlight, soil...

Okay, I ended up deciding to go up one board to get a depth of 21 inches. See my glog for pics.

Okay, I doubled the soil delivery order to 6 cubic yards its coming tomorrow. Ive taken the day off work to move the soil, but even with my wife helping, itll probably take more than one day. (Ive never had soil delivered before am I in for a treat, or what?) I added another board to each...
