The length of exposure is more detrimental than simply being exposed to those temperatures.
Another thing to consider is that you could have some sort of micro-climate whsre those plants are. If they are against the house or near shrubs or trees, that could buffet the cold and wind. Something...
Peanuts are hatching
The okra too.
Potatoes are doing well.
The meyer lemons are growing.
The one pepper i am excited about the most, CGN 21500.
I'm still looking for a greenhouse. I did come across a decent sized one today that will suit my needs for the next year or so i...
Is there no longer an option to contact the buyer? Its been close to 4 years since ive been on ebay and i do remember that option. Or is it not available on mobile.
That is a leaf spot disease. Its hard to say which kind because you would need an electron microscope to look at the spores.
Research leaf spot diseases to learn more. A very common one is cercospora leaf spot. It occurs on just about any plant. There a few very common leaf spot diseases that...
Damping off is a term that's used to describe when a seed dies before or at germination and young seedlings. The roots may rot, develop brown, water soaked lesions or the crown of the plant will rot and the plant will fall over and die.
When a plant becomes older and hardened off, it is usually...
That's a good looking brain sir. Thanks for the pics.
Anyone else doing a grow that's on the large scale? I remember seeing someone growing a lot of habs in either a NFT or DWC system in the backyard but that was sometime ago.
I've got 50-60 plants that I want to do in hydro but am out of home...
The compost pile plants are doing well. Fruit has set on the vines and on a few tomatoes. It looks like I'll be putting a cage on the ones I don't eventually cull. For the first time ever in my life, I watered a compost pile today. I sure hope the pics are ok. They look fine on the phone.

Who here is doing an outdoor grow? I've searched but seem to find indoor setups.
If you're growing peppers outdoors and care to share, I'd love to see how you do the voodoo that you do.
Jaderloon in Irmo, SC is a company that I would suggest.
Things to think about in the south. Coolpads are not efficient in high humidity areas. That is why most GH's are passively cooled. Drop wall systems are said to be the best. HAF fans are very good to have to help control heat.
If you...
Here are the plants, minus the new starts, that need to go in the ground here at my house. Although some of these will be planted in the garden beds at my work or grown for use in the soup kitchen.
I do have one superhot forming already. I overwintered a Yellow Trindad Scorpion CARDI and have somewhat tried to make a bonsai out of it. It grew so funky last year that I had to keep it.
This is my row of potatoes when I planted about a week ago.
And how they were yesterday.
A bump in Phosphorus may help if it isn't abprting flowers from heat and high nitrogen. Phosphorus, which is the middle number in a fert analysis (NPK), helps to establish flower blooms and fruit set.
Growth regulators and systemic fungicides and pesticides should not be used on food crops.
Peppers and tomatoes should easily root without the aid of an synthetic auxin. If kept in a moist media and in a place that isn't low humidity or forces the cutting to transpire, it should root within a...
I've been growing stuff for bit now but very little has actually made it in the dirt. I work and go to school leaving at 4:30am and get home anywhere from 5-9pm depending on the day.
Back in February I had started close to 1500 seedlings that I intended to sell as a way of raising money for...
It's the last year of the Earth so I hope I get this right for once.
Last year I bought a house and 5.7 acres with the sole intention of starting a farm and commercial greenhouse and grow operation.
The goal is to eventually expand to also growing fish but that is 5 years away in my head...
