Y'all sure do got some purdy leaves!dennish said:Some great looking young plants chaps, good work!
Here are my pair, now potted up into 1l pots and Terra Canna Pro potting mix, the equivalent of dropping a Nitrogen bomb...
Moved out onto windowsills catching real rays now too.
I just planted in straight chicken manure with a little perlite added in

Had to add some support. Was looking like an upside down umbrella..
Im way behind. Should I be concerned about my little aji lemon. It's laying over but seems to be healthy. None of the others are doing this...

just stretched a little, when you pot it up, plant it a little deeper to support that main stem. Thats where new roots will form.Grass Snake said:Im way behind.

Don't flush! Lots of good stuff living in that ballast. A little myco goes a long way.ColdSmoke said:

He's just going through his 'rebellious phase' of adolescence. Give him a while and he'll grow out of it.
Or, gently prop him up and bury about half the stem in dirt.
In either case, a little more light might not hurt.
Oh... and don't forget to lightly mist the fellow with diesel oil. With peppers, you simply can't go wrong with diesel oil!
I went ahead and clipped all the original true leaves, they'd gotten spotty and sickly looking for some reason, but new growth looks mah-velous. All these many growth nodes are doubling and bushing and--Oh, I'm sorry, I'm discouraging some of you, aren't I....Well, it's not like many of you have the invigorating sub-freezing temperatures that really get the plant's juices flowing after a night out or two....
Anyhow, do carry on. And don't stop your diesel/kerosene mistings, they help too.

I might have to rent a spot in that green house, mine got TORN apart by the recent wind storm in western NY.... Taxes can't come fast enough...PaulG said:HahahahahahahaGeonerd!
Excellent suggestion for all the late starters, Scottie!
But don't y'all be talking smack around my plants.. Had to move them out to the greenhouse
Seriously, everything I've seen on this thread is awesome, even the little seedlings
You're remembering to use your deisel obviously??

Even in this climate, it needs a little help with heat and
light. I'm sorry to hear about your greenhouse, buddy... time for an
upgrade
? I'm always holding my breath when it's windy,but we have been fortunate, and the one time in all these seasons
the wind took out a panel, I was standing there and watched it fly
up and away into my neighbor's yard...
Trippy
Good luck in the competition!
Yea, my 6 year old and I made a little secret plan to get a little bit of a nicer one. (The wife won't know till we already have it together MWAHAHAHAHA) but I can't complain too much, it was a canvas one that I got for 50 bucks... I'm pretty crafty too, and I have about 20 or so pieces of tempered glass. I may have to put my carpenter brain to use and build a little something something...
