    Yep, take my word for it.....it is heartbreaking to lose all that time, effort and love trying to save a couple of bucks! Get a decent quality tunnel or polycarbonate greenhouse.

You need to buy a good quality greenhouse which can withstand heavy wind...i learned that lesson the hard way first time round.....

 You mean it is normally performed sober?....oh boy...

  Indoors under lights or greenhouse...or both..like me!  This is a pretty wild obsession i have....the looks i get from my wife.....she thinks i am a nut!

Dude...no one has a crop like what Swampy harvested....don't be intimidated by his awesome results ( i think he sold his sold to the devil for this harvest ! ) Just take his advice and you will be in good company with the rest of us mere mortals ( who have not sold their souls! ). I grow many...

I am in...just put down about 250 seeds to start fresh for the new grow season as i won't have many survivors from last year in good condition. I also now have 6 x  5ft fluorescent fittings and tubes on the way for my new indoor grow room!

  Or the people.....

 What i want to know is.... how the hell you know what a kiwi tastes like?

    Are you going to be watering with hydroponic nutrients as well? I am also trying a couple of different options for soil this year, but intend using diluted hydroponic nutrients as well with the watering under the lights over winter.

For me they showed up with the seedlings were very young and so the grubs were a threat until i peroxided them. Wish psyllids were so easy to nuke!

Those fungas gnats are a pain in the ass but after the psyllids everything else seems tame! Let me know how the hyper-mites work. I used yellow stickies for the flying gnats,soapy water for the leaves and diluted hydrogen peroxide as a soil drench....toasted the little buggers in the soil which...

It felt like Christmas last night! I found a parcel of seeds from Peter at Semillas that i had forgotten about...woohoo! Looks like my grow this year is not going to be as small as i had planned....sounds like what happened last year as well! This year i am ready for battle when the...

Well i have had a nasty letter from MAF and 2 parcels destroyed. I don't believe they would allow seeds to get through and then spend time calling in on the person who ordered them...too risky for them and too much like hard work as well. Easier just to intercept the seeds at the border and...

Welcome! I am also in Auckland as are a couple of other regulars. Let us know if you need any help getting going.

My greenhouse gathered rain on the roof making a lovely pool and with the wind it was then demolished overnight. Bought a polycarbonate greenhouse and it has survived everything the weather has thrown at it since then.... Exactly what i do as well!

Welcome to the addiction! Gotta love all those little critters that make growing chilli such a challenge...believe me..aphids are the easiest to deal with!   By the way, how long have you had the greenhouse for? I had one which destroyed itself back in early June last year when we had all the...

      Nice! Good luck with it. Be interested to see the soil versus aquaponics outcome.

It is official.....i had the hottest pod of the season yesterday afternoon with Sentencedtoburn....it was insane and the only pod to cause me to eventually vomit.  The stomach burn was incredible....seeds are from Paul Smith....the first pod from my first time grow of the Chocolate Brazilian Ghost.

    Looks like you have tea sorted for tonight....

 Anything with Fatalii interests me! Who knows where these will end up once stabilised....will get some photos once these new plants pod up.
