Yep, I make sure all containers have drain holes at the bottom. I actually drilled a few at the bottom of the pail in the picture. Thanks!

Hi, I've been using Foxfarm's ocean forest potting soil and my understanding is that the mix comes hot out of the bag so I don't fertilize with anything to avoid burn. I do apply an epsom salt (1 tbsp to quart of water) foliar feeding once a week, but that's it. As for the pot, I was kind of...

Hi all, My serrano plant has started to display yellowish/orange blemishes on just the top leaves. After hardening it off for two weeks, I put the pepper plant outside full time and one day it got more sun that I intended. I'm thinking these spots are from the sun because the lower leaves...

Glad you asked this question! I am having the same exact problem with some seeds I also got on eBay. Darn! Looking at the 4 to 6 weeks rule it seems I have some bad seeds.

I want two separate plants so I'm seriously considering separating them. Thanks for telling me to keep the roots wet. I think I'll give it a shot next week when they're a little bigger and see if I can get them divided. If not, at least I know other people have successfully grown two in one pot...

Here's a couple of pics of the black congo plants sharing a cup:

Thanks, zombie and hippy seed for the replies! I think I'm going to keep the two plants together and see how they do. They are both so sexy that I can't bear to chop one down. :)

Hi all I have two young black congos. Initially, I was going to grow only one plant and cut down the weaker seedling when they germinated, but I've changed my mind, especially since both seedlings are growing at the same rate and look great! Anyway, is it harmful to keep these seedlings...

Those are gorgeous! Congrats on growing some amazing peppers. =)

Thanks for the extra info about the ocean mix. Fortunately, I didn't add any extra ferts because I wanted to see how the plants did without it. Btw, what does a burn look like? Also, does this mean I shouldn't try an Epsom salt foliar feed with mix I'm using? Thanks again!

Thanks for the tip about the fox farms ocean and the heat mat. I'm really looking forward to growing some healthy plants! Thanks all.

I'm planning on using Foxfarm's Ocean Forest Potting Soil. It says it has sandy loam and seems to have the right pH balance. Has anyone else tried this product? It would be my first time using it. Thanks.

Thanks! Yep, I'm definitely going to pot up today and use my potting soil, which has more nutrients. Hope you all are having a wonderful growing season! -Jenny

Thank you so much! I didn't think about that. I really appreciate your help!!

Thanks for your replies. There is a large hole at the bottom of the cup, but I'll definitely try a larger container with the potting soil and see what happens. Thanks again.

Hi all, I have a young, indoors serrano plant and I noticed today that two of the leaves are starting to curl and most of the leaves are beginning to produce a yellowish hue. I don't know what's happening so I'm hoping I can get some ideas on how to fix this before it gets worse. My pepper...

Thanks for your reply. I don't think I'd be able to squeeze the sides of my hydrofarm propagator... sounds like you have a better setup than I do!

Yep, that's what I'm going to do! Thanks so much.

Hi all, I'm transferring a couple of seedlings from my propagator, specifically a Hydrofarm CK64060 Hot House, to bigger pots and I'm wondering how to do this safely. How should I actually remove the plant and not damage it in the process? I can't grab the chile seedling by the stem right? I...

Um, that's dudette. j/k :) Seriously, thanks for all the replies... I think I'm set.
