  Whoa. Good point. I guess I'm a coddler deep down.

I've gone and put some of my plants OUTSIDE     They've been out a few days and no sign of stress, so I think it's early enough in the season that they didn't really need to be hardened-off.   I've been spending a fortune on potting mix and containers, and there's no end in sight.   Also, this...

  I'm planning to keep like 30-40.   Right now I have been giving the weaklings away to family and friends. I'm probably going to expand that to neighbors pretty soon... Anyone in metro Atlanta want a plant or two? I'm hoping to do this as nonviolently as possible.   Today it's going to get...

I'm growing some of those Reaper X Clavo plants too, looking forward to seeing how yours turn out!

Here's an after shot of that numex twilight. I'm not sure the topping was really necessary as it was already branching a bit, but now it's really branching. And here's a whole tent pic. Just about a week until average last frost. I ordered a bunch of "smart pots" and am trying to find a...

And the first pepper to earn a haircut is Numex Twilight! I took a "before" picture but forgot to do an "after". Oops. This little guy already has tons of branches and had two buds that were removed in the topping. I think one of my Ramiros has a date with the barber soon too.

Yeah, that's what I'll do. The only uncertainty is because last year my reaper didn't fork until July when it was over two feet tall.

I underestimated how much work and was a bit late to my real job today because I thought "how long can putting a few seedlings into cups take"? The answer: about an hour! My understanding of topping is it encourages more branching which produces bushier growth and higher yield. Last year my...

Thanks! Even better, more and more of them are finally starting to look like that. Three possible causes: 1. I rewatched Khang's video about feeding seedlings and noticed he does top feed with fertilizer pellets too. So I started doing that. 2. A bunch more have gotten roots down into the...

Just a quick picture of my current favorite plant

Quick update I think I've figured out why my fast growing annuums are suffering (like Ramiro in the earlier post). I think they got too big in the jiffy tray and lost a lot of roots in the transplant. Actually, all the plants that got big in the tray are now struggling, as are plants that...

I think I'm overwatering because time is going so slow. I only started this Glog like a week ago. Anyway, here's an overall view of my plants. I've moved all water away from the tent to remind me not to water. Here we are without the color filter I need to get those plants out of that...

More adventures in overwatering, or is this light burn?

Well, that would explain why giving them a bit more water didn't help. D'oh I hope they recover

Also several of my plants have started sending roots down into the second cup, so I started bottom feeding those. If my faith in Khang Starr isn't misplaced, I should be getting some really good growth soon.

Today I saw a tiny leaf starting to form at one of the nodes, so I guess it's still alive! I also found and killed an aphid after a couple months of reprieve.

I'm growing white fatalii this year. I've never had it before though.

Maybe it's the overmothering club again, but I'm concerned about my Ramiros. Their leaves are curling and one of them has bumps on the stem;

Awesome. I'm putting together a couple of mini Kratky builds myself. Definitely extra motivated now by how great your plants look.
