day 8th   the root is coming out.  too bad there is rain every night all night long. hope reaper's root will not rot.    

while waiting for the seed to germinate, i will make water soluble calcium phosphate from something in my kitchen (organic rice vinegar, cow bones / eggshell) break the bone into small pieces, put them over fire, when they're brown. let it cool and use vinegar to dissolve. it will be ready to...

it depends on the numbers of seeds in the cup.    more seeds will absorb more water.   after the seeds fully absorb water the upper side of the seed must touch the air.  also water will evaporate.  if you put too much water, on 2nd day, you can remove excess water.

thanks Justin for super fast delivery and freebies.  

hello my friends,   this is my 1st grow log.  i will grow reaper outdoor without using synthetic chemical fertilizer, pesticide, fungicide, growing media ...  also i don't use potting mix.  no perlite, no vermiculite... no no no   :shocked:   recipe#1   reaper seeds seeds are from...

  yes, it does matter.   in order to increase level of chitinase in worm casting, you can feed your worm with dead insect, e.g. flies, pupa cover.   so you just add some dead insects and dry material that is mushroom friendly into your worm bin.   happy organic growing!  :party:

  they don't need to touch the casting.  chitianses is in plant tissue.  once you can raise the level of chitianses, it can repel chewing and sucking insects like aphids, whiteflies, spider mites and any pest that feeds on plant juice. furthermore, your pepper plant will have resistance to...

  i guess there is not enough concentrations of chitinase. worm casting contains various forms of chitinase. this enzyme breaks chitin down into chitosan.  so exoskeleton of insect will soon to dissolve.    you might do simple test.  use 1 inch layer of worm casting around your pepper plant. ...

i think i will grow - reaper x lemon drop - reaper x jay's peach ghost - jay's peach ghost x primo - tepin x lemon drop - trinidad x-strain variant  

here are my dwarf prik kee nu pepper seedling.   i grow it outdoor.  i use nothing but warm tea and thin layer of warm casting to repel pest.  it seems to be an effective solution. pepper leaves look quite beautiful.  :onfire:   does anyone here use warm casting to repel pest?            

ok i understand your problem.  you need to soak manure in water for at least 3 days. after that it will not be hot anymore. also dairy cow manure is very good for increasing soil organic matter.  less NPK but also less salt.

cow manure is good and you can easily find them in Thailand.  super low price.   it's called, "ไส้เดือน AF".  it's about 1-2THB per 1 live worm.       it depends on many factors.  most importance factor is you have to make sure that your vermicompost is high quality first.  it must NOT be...

what you see in plastic basin is manure.  water it and keep it moist for 5 days it will look like that.  beginner may mix manure(70%) with coconut husk chips(30%) to create aerated bedding for worm.     that's right it's quite expensive.  you can make your own   manure is mother earth's natural...

yes   i did     but wait!  check your worm castings first!! high quality worm casting should look like coffee grounds.      == easiest way to get quite good quality worm casting == you can set up a worm farm in plastic basin like this.   make a lot of small holes at the bottom.  :shame: don't...

you can make your own water soluble calcium phosphate from eggshell.     

did you trim the root?

just got a new pepper plant from my friend but it looks like this. how do you take care of this plant? any suggestion would be very appreciated!        

i specialized in container garden but i'm still hoping for some great response.       once it contains SOIL, you need ninja level.     get the right potting mix (no soil)        

  it could be menochilus sexmaculatus(fabricius) or cheilomenes sexmaculata(fabricius).   i don't know....  LOL                               since this is pepper forum next time i will feed my ladybugs with pepper seedling.  :party:
