    Hardening off help, please?

    that looks just fine temporarily. after 1-2 weeks i would want you to transplant them out into full sun into their final spots with more room though.

    soil Soil mix question

    the vermiculite content really depends on how you are watering and the rest of your mix.   ---- mix content ----   since you are heavily using topsoil and compost they will already absorb quite a bit of water ( eventually will just be mud ) You don't need the extra water retention that...

    Can anyone bring me up to speed as to what has happened since 2011?

    a lot more money in the pepper world now. Puckerbutt is the biggest player probably. with reaper, choc bhutlah, chris' rare seed collection, etc   Guinness world records now requires the test to be an average heat. so it must be sampled multiple times, the variety must be stable. This is to...

      Nice! it is so hard to describe the biquinho heat to people. it's like a faint memory. not completely heatless like a bell pepper. but it's not hot either.

    used the old coco from  above and then needed some more so got some berger mix from local nursery.       one thing i didn't think about was that the irrigation lines are now too short to reach up to the pots. so i had to order some new 1/4 in line and replace all the lines. that took a while...

    Hardening off advice?

    2-7 days place in full shade under a tree or something. indirect light is still pretty bright compare to indoors. (like shade is not completely black you can still see in it eh?) 2-7 days place in half day sun. evening and morning sun are less intense easier for plants to acclimate to. put near...

    wanted (WTB) Anyone have any Mini Rocoto or Orange Manzano plants?

    i tried growing full size ones and got nothing, that's why i'm trying the minis this year they should fruit easier? smaller fruits need less energy / water? they are out at the field not near me but i think i have 8 or so extra. they are about 10 inches, a good size for transplanting. i have 3...
