    My 2nd year with peppers

    As you can see from the title this is my second go at doing hot peppers. You can check last year's thread for an bit of a mid season tour of my first go. This year I decided to try some different peppers including some super hots. I picked up some great seeds from PepperLover on the forum...

    They're thrips or springtails. Do you have a standing water source near by?

    I've used liquid glycerine soap diluted with water and found it to be fairly effective.

    Shoontok 2011 Pepper Grow

    Good looking T. buttikoferi in there. I actually float my seed trays in a spare 35 gallon aquarium when I'm germinating. Its worked out pretty well for me so far!

    Red Scorpion not popping

    I received some red scorps from Judy and sowed them directly into soil with 100% germination rate. I used 50% coir and 50% seedless potting soil and they've all done pretty well so far. They do like it warm, mine came up in about 7 days time. The yellow 7pods came up first for me followed by...

    Peppers on my Deck, My First attempt

    I have a liquid test kit and some DI water here. I never thought about it, but I can probably test for some of the other nutrients as well this way. The pH reading that I get is about 6.5 from my liquid test kit... I suppose that the peat in the soil buffers the pH of the water down more...

    Peppers on my Deck, My First attempt

    Thanks for the response! The plants should have lots of magnesium available to them as I dose my aquariums with Epsom salts. Last week, however, I noticed that some of my leaves were yellowing and I attributed it to a potassium deficiency. Could this have been the case? The leaves of the...

    Howdy, this is my first attempt at growing veggies and unfortunately I don't have that much room for them so they're restricted to my decks. My list of peppers comprises, Orange Habanero, Black Hungarian, Bulgarian Carrot, Hungarian Beaver Dam, Polish Cyklon, Joe E. Parker and Early Jalapeno...
