If I remember correctly, pine bark naturally raises the acidity in the soil and for plants such as tomato's, chili's, Japanese maples, etc., that's a good thing. Is that correct?

That's a pretty good price on the Pro-mix. The cheapest I have found it locally is $54 a bale. How many plants do you think you will have in 5 gallon containers once moved outside?

Are you going to grow all of your plants in the 5 gallon containers for the entire time of the grow season?

Good luck on the seeds germination. I purchased all of my seeds from Pepperlover this year and had good germination rates. I will purchase from her many times in the future.

I am trying to understand. Did you say that the 4 bales of Pro-Mix is how much it will take for you pot up all of your plants for once they are outside? Will you keep all of your plants in containers? Did you get the Pro-Mix locally and how much did you pay for it where you are? One more...

Well, it's been almost 2 weeks since my last update so I figured I would show what kind of progress my seedlings have made. First off, the list with germination so far: Scotch Bonnet Yellow 5/6 Scotch Bonnet Red 6/6 Fatalii 6/6 7 Pod Brain Strain Red 6/6 7 Pod Brain Strain...

It's my first year trying to grow super hots also and I started my first GLOG (I need to update it). Good luck to you and I both.

I planted my first flat of seeds on 2/15/12 and I noticed today that I have a couple of Red Habanero's peeking their heads out. I hadn't anticipated having any sprouts this quick so I had to put a plan together as far as lighting. I had been looking around about what options there were...

Got an email from pepperlover.com today saying they were sorry for the mistake of leaving the Butch T Scorpions out of my order and they were sending them out today. Until they get here I went ahead and planted another tray of seedlings from the last order that were soaking in water/peroxide...

Thanks for the reply's. I have an infra-red thermometer gun that I have been measuring my soil temps with and on top of the soil they are averaging 75˚ to 80˚. On the very bottom of the seed tray they are between 95˚ to 100˚. If I measure directly in the middle of the seedling cell it averages...

Can someone who has one of these tell me where the sensor is located that reads the temperature? In the bottom of the seed tray, on top, where exactly does it take it's reading from?

It is my first season growing super hots so I figured I would join in the Glog thread and document my efforts. First off, my list of seeds ordered: Habanero Orange Habanero Red Wasp Trinidad Scorpions (Red, Yellow, and Mourouga Blend) Bhut Jolokia's (Red, Yellow, and Brown) Fatalii 7 Pod Brain...

Just wandering what number of seeds the majority of you put in each cell when germinating. This is my first year growing super hots but in all my previous years of tomato, cayenne, habanero, and jalapeño growing I have almost always put 2 seeds in each cell, only to have to thin them out...

As far as thinning out the cells with multiple sprouts in them I can't help but ask the question, why not wait until they both have some decent growth on them and separate the two plants and replant them? Saving both plants. I have done this many times with tomato and pepper plants and have...

Got my seeds yesterday and they threw in 3 packets of 3 other peppers! Fast and free gifts. Now if the seeds germinate well, I will order from Pepperlover again.

I've been researching where to order from and it seems Pepperlover is highly regarded. We'll soon see. I would like to get the seeds going by next weekend and considering they are located in the state below me I am hoping they get here quick.

This will be the first summer that I grow more than Cayenne, Jalapeños, and Habanero's. Order placed from Pepperlover.com. I got: Yellow and Red Scotch Bonnet Douglah 7Pod Brain Strain Yellow 7Pod Brain Strain Fatalii Yellow, Red, and Chocolate Bhut Jolokia Red, Yellow, Mourouga...

That would be a good game wouldn't it?

Just joined the forums after deciding to put a revised emphasis in the garden this summer to more chili growing. Trying to decide the final list of what seeds I am going to order before placing orders by the end of the weekend. Glad to be a part of the community and already have enjoyed...
