After peat pellets I moved them into a 72 cell tray and then removed the cover. I waited for a decent root ball and 2nd set of leaves so I could remove it from the tray, then I put them in Dixie cups burring the stem up to the cotyledons. Make sure you drill out holes in your cups, I initially...

Last year I found myself soaking the beds twice a week during our hot drought. Would come home from work and they would be drooping every 3 days or so, soil dried out quick. A good soaking once a week in a well drained bed worked well for most of the season though. Sub tropical Toronto, thank...

Don't ad Miracle Grow. Miracle grow is 1.Expensive, 2. Probably infested with nasty bugs. For that much area you have to order bulk or you will spend a ton of cash. Miracle Grow Bags 18l = 0.63 cuft @ $3.00/bag. You are going to need a minimum of 30 Yards. 30 yards = 810 cuft / 0.63 cuft bag =...

I wish I didn't cheap out on CFLs and did my research on T5's. I ended up spending about $80 on my lap and 5 ott plant lights not knowing I could get T5's for not too much more locally from a head shop.

I'd get on it, not that your late or anything, but the sooner the better.. I planted late last year in Toronto, and managed to get too many Bhuts and Habs to handle.

Kill them with fire. I found a good old oxy-acetylene torch is the most effective and safest way to kill them in my house. But aphids are a pain, seriously kill them quick before they kill your plants, and eventually you, as they grow to be 4-5ft in height. Pic Related:

If you ever need a good conversion calculator windows calculator on win7 and win8 has a unit conversion option under the view drop down menu. Also for smart phones I use convertpad for my android, gives me every conversion I need. Plastic bucket + Nail + Hammer is a good idea, but tiring if your...

Home Depot green bell peppers. What junk. Everything from my garden center turned out nice though. Box stores are just no good, soil, plants, filter fabric, tools, all crap. I found spending the extra buck is more cost effective in the long run.

Totally pumped for my Carolina Reapers. I thought they were going to defeat me, I only had 3 germinate, and I have babied them. They are growing much slower then the rest. Definitely going to overwinter them (if I don't kill them first)

How do you like the LED's? Have you ever used HPS on peppers? I like the idea of using led for power consumption and heat but I am not sure if they are as effective, getting mixed opinions.

If you have any slope going towards your house this would be my main concern about letting water get to it, damaging your foundation. So I would say any form of plastic or woven textile is out of the question, as it will shed the water towards your foundation. (unless the 5% slope is going...

With that setup I don't think i'd be growing peppers ;)

If your going to lay down a mat, use a quality landscape fabric, not the home depot junk. I would also rent a good tiller before hand. For my customers and for myself I only install products from terrafix, luckily for me they are based out of Toronto, and their products are standard for all...

Never will I buy MIracle grow, or any bag soil again. I knew there was something wrong when it was a bit damp when I opened it. Plus bagged soil is overpriced $6 for a bag is insane, but my bulk soil pile is frozen. I get quality soils from the manufacturer for $18/yd at miller (contractor...

Perfect thanks, I will see if I can find some dunks around here, if not I'll order online. I transplanted them into the dixie cups about 7 days ago and used miracle grow soil. I gave it all a good soaking and it hasn't dried up yet. I am also going to be putting a fan on and fly traps, I really...

I have about 50 dixie cups with a bunch of strong seedlings just getting their second and third set of true leaves. In the past 3 days I have noticed more and more of these insects flying around. So far my plants seem fine but I don't want to take any risks, that and my grow table is beside my...

Great videos, I have been looking for something of this sort for a while.
