    pruning Pruning and adding more soil?

    How big of a pot would I need for long term growth?  I definitely plan on "overwintering", but am going to try and actually grow peppers year round. I figured 5 gallons would be more than enough for a good 3 years of growth (might prune the tops back if they get crazy big).  Don't want...

    pruning Pruning and adding more soil?

    Well I plan on over wintering them, and trying to produce throughout the winter.  Wasn't sure if adding soil would really help or not.  I added a little soil and just pruned the bottom leaves of the bell already, but not sure if it would cause more harm than good to add a good amount of soil to...

    pruning Pruning and adding more soil?

    Yesterday my baby bell peppers and Jalapeno plants were moist at 3pm was going to skip watering, but then around 6, my bell's were bone dry around the base of the plants, I stuck my finger in, and the roots were only like 1/8" under the surface!  Not sure if its from the potting soil settling or...

    New grower from KC MO

    I like KC a lot, just moved here almost 3 years ago from a smaller town not far away, only thing that sucks is how spread out it is!

    First time grower, outdoor, and trying to overwinter!

    Next year I'm definitely adding a 2nd storage container, that one holds a total of "45 gallons" so it probably has around 37-40ish gallons of soil in it!  It's heavy lol Depending on how my melons do in low light, I might replant, might not.  My 2nd tote I plan on adding next year (more...

    First time grower, outdoor, and trying to overwinter!

    haha, I don't think it will be too bad, only at 135w of total power used currently, although I might add a tiny bit more come winter for the closet grow, I'm really unsure how much I need, all I know is my plants are responding to the 15-16 hours of supplemental lighting, and 4.5 of direct...

    First time grower, outdoor, and trying to overwinter!

    First time grower, only thing I have ever grown is a watermelon plant in my teens, all I did was dig up about a 6" circle of soil in the yard, pop a seed in, water often, and I had incredible results!  Many rediculous sized melons! I started late, and on a tight budget, and I don't have a yard...
