Holy crap, you got a farm in your backyard! :D Damn thats impressive. I wish I had room to grow that many peppers. Simply amazing.

Thought I would let everyone know that the link works again. I don't know if its the same owner or not but the company is still there.

If you do a small, one time sprinkle of cinnamon on top of the soil, it should help prevent any mold or fungi from forming.

alright so I re-potted the bells. What was interesting though was that the fungi seemed completely isolated to a few pieces of rotting bark. But I did see a few insects in the dirt like a couple of those white centipede looking things, I think they eat roots. But the roots did look very healthy...

I was planning on dipping the roots into some Hydrogen Proxide. I saw someone on this forum try that and it seemed to work well with them. Would that get rid of any excess fungi?

Thanks for the replies guys. Yea, now I know not to let those damn fungi grow anywhere near my plants. I plant on re-potting my red bells. I figure since I pruned them so much, I might as well prune some roots to help new growth.

I posted awhile back about mushrooms growing in my bell pepper pot and what action I should take. But after the help I decided it best to just leave them be, later I came across a much worse problem, ants. These ants are VERY persistent. Originally the red ants were coming from the grass into...

I just read around a little and some people claim that it can be beneficial to vegetable plants, the only precaution is to be sure that you wash the fruits really well before consuming. I also had no intention on picking these guys to eat or anything close. I just wanted to know if they can/will...

I live in south Florida and its been raining quite a bit lately. I just went out to check on my potted red bells (and others) to find 15-20 brown mushroom heads about a inch tall growing from the soil in the potted red bells. I have no idea if these guys are bad or not, I was hoping for some...

Got it, I tried searching in the soil for the seeds I already planted( looking very carefully) but no luck so I just used the rest of the packet I bought and gave it a go with about 1/6". Appreciate the help. :)

So Should I replant them in different soil or...?

Okay well I just looked at my cups again to put things in a better perspective, I may have accidentally exaggerated how deep I planted the seeds. The soil when dry was originally about 4 1/2 inches deep and I planted the seeds about 1 1/2 inches deep. After I watered the soil it shrank overall...

Yea thats what I thought. :( Its potting mix. So do you think its wise to attempt to pull out the seed to replant higher?

Hey again guys. I got a couple more questions if nobody minds me asking. :P. Well I have been looking around some articles and websites and I keep seeing different soil used for seeds. Now I am totally oblivious to gardening "no no's" but I think I may have done one. I put seeds in miracle grow...

Ah okay thanks. Yea I thought about covering it with a little saran wrap but I am in south Florida and its in my garage, the only place more humid is a sauna lol. :P

Perfect I think I got things set now. I plan on moving my seedlings once they sprout to a window with a small fan to keep it company. How long does germination usually take? ( Like how long till I see a sprout do you think? :) ) Thanks guys I really appreciate the help. :D

I appreciate the help. I just got one last question. Is it really possible for fungus to grow in such a direct light? There is a lot of heat and light hitting the soil in the cups. Now from what I can tell the first inch or so of soil is perfect, but I can't really tell about the other 3 or 4...

Just thought I would update, I moved things around a little and now its about 87 F. Does that sound a bit better?

Hehe yea like I said I was rushing. :P lol. But yea I thought maybe 100 may have been a bit too hot. But I just kept reading online how the germination for bhut jolokia's are much better is very warm soil. Guess I got a little carried away. And I also thought the holes might have been too small...

I just started a few seeds. Bhut jolokia and Thai hot peppers. two of each. (unfortunately don' have much room at the moment). But I wanted some advice. I set up a little seedling heatery thing in my garage. Its just something I threw together since I only wanted to start a few seeds and I...
