Hi, Thanks for the good advice guys. So I plan on buying a couple bales of peat and some bags of topsoil. Any ideas on what is a good ration? Unfortunately, I don't have any real compost so I think I am out of luck there. Any other options for compost? I do have some pure leaf compost that...

Hi, So the wife and I are building 2 raised beds that will be 7x3. I need advice on the most cost effective and easiest way to fill them.. We were at lowes today and were looking at the premier peat bales. They were like $10 for each. We figure we would need 4-5 of them. If we go this route...

Hi, I am experiencing some leaf curl in a bunch of my plants. Check out these pics. Plants are under shop lights 24/7 and receive small dose of fish fert and epsom waterings. Any Ideas?

Thanks Patrick. .... Runs off to Foliar feed...........

Hi, So is misting the plants important? Does foliar feeding make a big difference? Currently I am just feeding the plants through normal watering. I'm wondering if I should be spraying something on my plants as well. thanks for the info.

Welcome from Boston! I tried to overwinter some plants last year but was plagued with massive Aphid infestations. I wish I could avoid them little buggers.

Good to see this year old thread still moving :) I didn't have great success with the Paper Towels or coffee filters last year. I went with Jiffy Pellets for this season and have had better results. I just like the ease of starting them in the pellets and not needing to transplant them after...

Thats right. I cut up some old wine corks to act as separators. I think I'm gonna bring these puppies outside for a little while. Its so nice out today.

Thanks Patrick. I'm looking forward to watching the XL Trini Congo seeds that you sent me grow :D

Thanks for the advice AJ. I just removed it like you said. The rest of the plant looks normal so hopefully the trouble was isolated to that leaf. Many of the Cotyedons are turning yellow and dropping but I think that is normal, right?
