Phew, thank you!

Good morning folks! Had a bit of a panic this morning when I thought I'd found aphid eggs on some plants in the indoor tent. I'm pretty sure from googling that it is Edema, but if anyone could confirm I'd appreciate it.

Update for the week. I’m thinking I’ll try and save at least 2 or 3 or each variety..(will be giving most away since I can’t afford the soil and pots!). After chats from my last update I’m hoping to run a couple side by side experiments with some of the varieties. One control left to grow..one...

Yes for sure with the topping. From experience with other plants it definitely will increase yield, but will stunt for a week or so. That growth usually seems to come back more vigorous though..however some cultivars dont respond well at all(generally the more equatorial varieties). I guess it...

Nice thanks..Any reasoning behind that? Does it stunt them when taking them off?

Hey pro-pepper people! I bought a trinidad scorpion today from the local garden centre(Brawley garden centrein Mooresville, NC), the best one I know of close to me if you get the chance to check it out. The one I got already has some flowers getting ready to pop on it. Should these be plucked...

Thanks there’s a Lowes right near me I’ll go scrounge tomorrow 😌

Yusss I think we think alike!

Ok I finally got my last batch of seeds...Maybe it's a bit late to start? Especially considering I already have too much. But you know I will. The Kristian seeds were freebies from the pepperjoe site.

Just a quick update, things are coming along nicely. I'll be transplanting most of these into solo cups before bigger pots. Anyone got any good ideas for finding containers to use. Nursery pots can be expensive! Trying to get as many as I can into at least 5 gallon containers. Sorry for the...

You have to make a compromise..let your plants breathe and learn to deal with the white noise in your bedroom..or find a better place to do it.

The seed mix is peatmoss and perlite with a sprinkle of compost that’s it

Thanks! I’m thinking water soluble nutrients will be best for smaller pots, but it’s hard to regulate that outside with rain and not wanting to overwater. This is why I generally prefer dry amendments..but a plant with only 5 gal of soil space needs a lot of attention!
