What do you think?

Thank you - seems I have best luck with seedlings approx 1" in height LOL. For real.

All my action happens in about 2 weeks in Sept & October LOL

https://flic.kr/s/aHsmFLZBxq  5 weeks between the pix / best thing that's happened this year. PWT must be a southern thing. I have never had it.

At this point I do not give a rats ass what your opinion is solid7, not because of content (however it is an issue in this case), but rather the way you present yourself and react. I kindly ask you to not participate in any more of my threads. 

I am just trying to tell you why everybody does it, politely. Over and out.

Cool. I was wondering if you might be going to say sand. Anyway, FWIW I think the aggregate before the drain holes thing is to do with molecular adhesion hindering container drainage. For WHATEVER reason, with a layer of aggregate or more porous material at the bottom, one has the entire area of...

soild what's your soil type in the container

  yup

  solid we're gonna have to agree to disagree on this one, at least until I see what you're seeing, PEACE

My containers all have drainage holes around the perimeter on the bottom.   I still may not be understanding. I have not seen the effect described, and my containers are emptied each year. I could be wrong but I think PWT is a fancy way of saying the growing medium is waterlogged. I don't know...

I guess one more thing to say is I once grew a habalokia in a 7 gal black pot, which was and still is the biggest success story I have had. Lots of luck was involved. Half a decade ago. The rootball was the entire container. I pulled the plant out, and the whole cylinder of grow medium came out...

Thank you thank you all. Damit I set it for 24 hours and it is not easy to set mine. You have to be there and I am laze and don't want to be up that early.  :party:  Maybe I can change the interval at any time of the day, versus the start time, which I MUST be there. I got this timer at a...

You hear a lot about over-watering peppers. I am using a lawn sprinkler (this is an unchangeable variable) on hot pepper plants in the soil. I was planning to run it 15 minutes daily, very early morning, but a friend has talked me into running it only every 48 hours. Opinions?

Charleston SC (I don't know if you'e close) got 2.88" of rain on the 5th. That's a hell of a lot of rain. 

Nibbles I am not expert but was there some environmental event? Did you guys get that cold snap down there that we did up here? 

My success is consistently spotty, but I do reap pods annually.  :party:

I am in agreement. My initial post may have been misleading. I have (for better or worse) decided to grow without cloth / plastic / what have you. My health is not that great and the energy is not there, nor the money really, for the hobby. I also see it as a challenge, soil growing. I have use...

I plant in soil in the garden. Clearly this is my issue solid7 and I need to wait till July to place them out. Very hard to do because I am already on a restricted time window. But it's clear to me now.  Thank for the insights. Every year, is the same theme. This years variation was I planted on...

I think zeroing in on one element is a difficult way to go. "The longer they've been under grow lights" is a LOT of things. Your BEST bet probably is to experiment. Take a few and do this. Take a few and do that. Bring them out in stages. I myself like to put them outdoor under 4 mil plastic for...
