Monsun season is still going strong in Thailand. I don't know in what part Lek lives but here in the south we just finally got a few dry days after 14 days of heavy rain.

Looking good Lek! Hope you have less rain than here in the south, my plants have been struggling so even if they are several weeks older than yours they are just a tiny bit bigger!

A update Still a some very heavy rain now and then but I try to move them to shelter as much as can if I'm home when it starts raining. The first batch of seeds that got germinated now have their first leaves and got their first feed last weeks. The ones in pure coco seems to grow faster...

So i had a aphid invasion earlier this week and i started a treatment of a neem mix every 3rd day and havent seen any since. However i discovered this today and i'm not sure what it is and what i should do about it!

Not sure if it's the nursery plant or if it was the ants going into my pots some days ago when it was heavy rain but i'm battling a Aphid invasion on several plants now. Sprayed the plants with a mix of neem oil and woodvinegar today and will do that every third day for a few weeks.

Can recommend piripiri. Maybe slightly less heat than most thai peppers but not too far away and with a slight paprika flavor!

Got started with my wormhouses today! One with the usual household compost and one with cow manure

A small update! Most of the seeds germinated without problems and seedlings have been transplated to seperate containers. Have about 10 seeds left that should pop up this week. The sad nursery birds eye is doing ok and have alot of new flowers, transplanted it into a larger container with...

What kind of manure is it? Cow/buffalo i guess? What is the thai name for the african nightcrawlers? Sorry OP, now when i think about it im kind dragging the thread offtopic lol.

Interesting Lek. I aswell would like to know what you feed them. I dont really have space for a compostbin so something in that size is perfect for me! Currently i'm using NongDuen wormcast, kind of expensive.

About 6 seeds have breached the surface and one has come up fully on the first batch, will give it another day before transplanting. Also i went to stock up on new cocoir today, the place had some rather sad birds eye plants but they were fruiting so asked if i could get one for a price equal...

So thought it might be fun to keep a Glog on my first pepper grow! Went back to Europe in June to visit family and bought a bunch of seeds to bring back to Thailand. Returned to Thailand last week and first seeds went into my DIY propagators 6 days ago, second batch was started yesterday and...

Lek, are they from your surroundings or do you buy/breed these bugs? I've only seen one ladybug in my garden here in Phuket so i've been looking around for someone who maybe sell larvas/ladybugs but no success this far :(

Was able to do the mix today and they have been repotted. Will update in a week or so, hopefully there wont be too much of a transplant shock!

  Yeah it´s seems to be common to use those with a plastic bag in them holding the soil, someone in the neighbourhood also has their veggies planted in laundrybaskets   I guess it´s cheaper than buying a larger sized pot/bucket, or maybe there is some other reason. If it wasnt for the plastic...

Thanks for all the info! The transplant got postponed a few days. Got in contact with a another local foreigner in a facebook group that could spare me a 10l liter bag of perlite so will pick that up tomorrow! Hopefully a few this year will survive and grow as big as the one in your picture...

      That´s a nice cluster of peppers right there :P  The hempty bucket you used is just a bucket with a hole in the bottomside right? Do you have any experience with the double bucket method with netcup?   I dont expect too much this year, it´s my first time growing peppers and the only past...

Sounds awesome that it's enough for a more pure cococoir mix since my plan from the beginning was to only use organic feed. Decided that i will do the transplant on monday. Bought some new cococoir from the shop where i found that calcium boron stuff, Tiny bit pricier(still barely 1 dollar per...

Edited my post at the same time as you replied. What i'm able to use right now is fishemulsion, epsom salt, worm and bat guano tea. Will that be enough for a while until i managed to get some proper nutrient solution for cococoir?

3. Yeah as i wrote in the first post that what i have at home currently, will that be all that is needed? 4. Might try and make some of that, thanks for the tip. 6. The mix you mentioned in the first post but with ricehulls instead of perlite? I dont really have access to any...
