So ended up repotting everything today with a mix of a few things:   1 x 25L Osmacote Vegetable, Herb and Tomato Mix 1 x 25L Scotts Pure Organic Compost 4 x 5L Perilite 2 x 5L Vermiculite   Mixed everything into two sixty litre bins and gave it a good mix.   Gave the plants a good drink a couple...

Mrwrx - I grabbed them from my local Bunnings in Mascot. They were $4.00 but I said they looked a bit water logged and made a few disparaging comments (I was fishing for a bargain :) ). There were definitely some left when I took off. I'm going back today to get my mix to up pot so I'll let you...

Thanks both - I think it might have also gotten too much sun so I'm going to keep him in the shade for a bit.

Reasonably interesting week. Dealt with a small fungus gnat incursion on my seedlings with some H2O2 (3 percent Hydrogen Peroxide mix from my local chemist) mixed 1:4 with water - seems to have sorted them out nicely.   Went to Bunnings the other day to stock up on some things for the garden...

Hey mate, I'm in the exact situation as you - I've started using a seaweed solution (Seasol) at around 1/3 a cap to a litre of water. Planning on using it once a fortnight. On the off fortnight I'm going to start using an epsom salt spray done to the leaves.   The Seasol spray is more of a tonic...

My regular weekly update.   Things are going reasonably well, as you can see with my star seedling (I think he's a Scorpion - not sure). The only downside is we seem to have picked up a fungus gnat infection since they're outside in the sun lots now. I've picked up some 3% hydrogen peroxide...

Hi All,   Anyone help with whats wrong with this guy? The soil was dry but was just watered which is why its darker.   Cheers,   Sev!  

03rd October 2016.   A fairly eventful week. As from the first entry you'll know that I've been re potting them as soon as they sprout into cups, and starting to give them outside sun light. However some heavy wind last week on the 27th upended my entire tray of seedlings. My wife, bless her...

Hi All,   I've started growing three types of peppers this year, which I bought primarily on heat, colour and name (Trinidad Scorpion, Caramel Moruga and Chocolate Habanero). Given the amount of fun I'm having, I'm planning to expand to some that I regularly use in my cooking (New Mexico...

Thanks for the feedback guys.    I'll do a bit more research. I emptied everything out of the left hand side today and am going to look at insulating it this weekend. Hopefully some time next week I'll have figured out lights etc.   Cheers!

Hey all,   This is my first season growing, so I've been doing heaps of reading, and am thinking to experiment with growing some things in a variety of manner. I've got some seedlings that are spending time outside pretty regularly, and just starting to get their first true leaves after about 10...

Nothing beats a good chilli for dinner!  :hell:     I know it's got beans...but I love myself some beans. Heat level is reasonably high, 2 x California Reapers, around 50 grams of Habanero, can of Chipoltes in adobo and home ground chilli powder (Guajillo, Habanero, Mulato, New Mexico, Ancho)...

To LED or not to LED..that is the question.

Hey mate, I just found this great place as well - awesome to see another person from AU join :)

Jubnat thanks alot - really appreciate.   Testing [ img ] http://imgur.com/zI2Tdpn [ /img ]   Hmm...I added spaces in above, but when I did it without the spaces it said "an error occurred - you are not allowed to use that image extension in the community".   Mike - thanks for the help and the...

Thanks Both.   I've added some photos, a couple of the repotted seedlings (one with yellow cotyledons...not sure if I've overwatered it) and the others as well. The mix is just pure seedling mix...I'm thinking about repotting them into a 1/3 garden soil, 1/3 compost, 1/3 Perilite/Vermiculite mix...

Hi All,   Thanks for reading - I've started this to use it as my own personal journey into the life of chilli growing. I'll generally be planning to update on a weekly basis with a photo, or some information on how things have gone. Hopefully in a few months I'll be neck deep in chillis....well...

Just added some photos of my seedlings (that are outside getting some sun).   http://imgur.com/a/RNbz2   The first image has some droopy seedlings - not enough water or too much? The others are just showing the others that are up. A little leggy right now, but I'm hoping lots of sun will...
