Howdy boys, Usually I don't have much of an issue with growing peppers, but this is my first year in a new apartment with a balcony that gets no direct sunlight. I rigged up my old 300W Mars Hydro LEDs which have worked wonders for me in the past, but I am just not getting good results so far...

How long do you normally harden off your chilies before putting them out?

Howdy folks, long time no see! I'm running into an issue with my outdoor transplants. I grew a bunch of peppers indoors, and decided to move some outside to get them in containers to get a jump on the nice weather we've been having. I slowly hardened them off in shade, then partial shade, then...

Howdy guys!   I harvested a buttload of peppers from our plants this year before the freeze, and decided to start fermenting them. What you see here is two half-gallon jars of peppers, but I have no earthly idea of what to do with the contents.   I've filled them with Pakistani Green Chili...

Is there also a way we can just straight-donate to the cause?

GIP was one of the few folks I grew close to on this board, and his love for the grow and the food was delightful. He was one of the first people to send me a dozen varieties of seeds to help start my journey, and I was so appreciative of his help. He was truly an inspiration to us all, and I...

  Started from seed, the same seeds the in-ground plants are started from.     Not producing at all. :(

Here is our in-ground chili plant. The only nutrients it receives are 1) the compost it was buried with, and 2) the mild fish tank fertilizer that gets injected via the the drip system. These guys get pretty neglected but seem to out-perform.   I'm not sure what else I can do for the potted one...

Yo guys! I've got this super healthy-looking Pakistani green chili that just refuses to fruit at all. Its cousins that are in the ground at work are all putting out hundreds of chilies, but this one refuses to put out even one flower. I've tried heavy dosages of K and P, to no avail. I've tried...

  I used the recommendation above for Dr. Bronner's Castile soap. I've checked the leaves and don't see anything left on them, so I know they're gone.   I went ahead and cut the stem down like you said. I'm hoping for this plant to turn into a long-lasting indoor plant, but at the rate things...

So after getting rid of the aphids, I still can't seem to get this thing to bounce back. Take a look at how she looks now after a month of being aphid free:       What is happening here?

I hit em' with the miticide but it doesn't seem to be killing them, even with a strong concentration. What do you guys recommend?

  You nailed it. I actually looked under my old growth, and sure enough saw an aphid crawling on the underside of the leaf. No doubt they are all over the plant.    I went ahead and hosed it down with some anti-aphid insecticide. Hopefully that takes care of the problemo.

Hey guys!   I've got this Pakistani green chili pepper I've been trying to grow, and I am running into this bizarre issue.   The new growth is tiny, shriveled and dying. Old growth looks great, but I fear the plant isn't going to last in this condition. Here's some pictures:       I've given...

  A month later and the plant never recovered. Even tried CalMag treatment, lots of TLC, but it just continued to whither away until there was nothing left. Snipped the plant at the base and just called it quits. :(

  I thought that might be it too, so I hit her with some Epsom salt and a mild fertilizer feeding to see if she perked up.

Howdy ya'll.   I'm having issues with my indoor tomato, which is only about a month or two old at this point. She looks a bit like this:        

  I've got a heat mat underneath them with a dome on top now, and the house temperature is ~63-65 degrees. Thoughts?

  This might actually be the answer - I have seed that is well into its second year. I might as well use it up, then, since it's probably no good after this year.

Howdy everyone, long time no see.   So I've pretty much gotten peppers figured out easily enough, and I've been trying my hand at a multitude of vegetables. One of the ones I am having the absolute hardest time with right now is onions.   I've always been late getting my onions out, so this year...
