It's been a crazy busy few weeks working to get the garden ready when the weather is cooperating. At any rate we got the beds laid out, compost tilled in, and everything planted. Everything appears to be doing well.    Here's a wide shot of the majority of my peppers. I rigged up some DIY...

Still working on hardening off the 73 soil peppers. They're making progress:    

So the official count outside in the greenhouse is 73 plants. I gave them a nice bottom watering yesterday and it was definitely a pain in the ass moving them back and forth between the greenhouse and a larger container for soaking. Overall they definitely look like they're enjoying the sun more...

      Thanks guys! My babies are definitely ready to leave the nest. I'll have to count them up tomorrow and see how many I have stuffed in that little 8'x6' greenhouse. I completely lost track of how many plants I have in the 1 gallon pots.    As far as the greenhouse placement goes, it wasn't...

So the greenhouse is up and anchored on the patio.     I moved the girls out there yesterday to harden off. There's not a whole hell of a lot of room left in the greenhouse lol. I took a couple pictures from the back window this morning.       The plan is to get these guys hardened off over...

So I've officially given up hope on placing the greenhouse in the yard. I'm convinced that my backyard has a gravel driveway 18" below the top soil. There's just no way in hell those anchors are going in the ground. I've decided to make some room on my concrete slab patio and anchor that way. It...

Thanks ribbedturtleneck!

Still fighting the anchors on the greenhouse. I've been delayed a lot this week. My family has caught a stomach bug that took us all down as well as dealing with rainy weather. One of these days I'll get that fucker finished lol.   Here's some quick pics of the ladies. They really need to go...

So I had a lot of trouble this weekend trying to setup the greenhouse. Most of my trouble is related to how un-level and hard the ground is under the greenhouse. Apparently at my house the ground is mostly clay mixed in with rocks so it's not all that far off from concrete... NOT FUN! Trying to...

  Props for the Kids reference!

Thanks Paul! They are definitely need of some more "elbow room". Under my main T5 HO light it's really hard to tell where one plant ends and the others begin. 

The greenhouse should be here today. I am looking forward to getting it setup and get these girls outside. I'm planning on hardening all my plants in the greenhouse with a white sheet draped over the top for a week. Hopefully the weather man is accurate and the weather cooperates long enough for...

Good topic. I am essentially mirroring this same setup with the same exact 8x6 greenhouse. It should arrive today and it looks like I should have a couple nice days weather-wise to get it setup. I'm excited to get the ladies outside. They're REALLY starting to crowd each other under the light...

Good question filmost. I'm interested to see what the more experienced (than myself) growers have to say about this one.

  Interesting... I wonder if maybe I got a bad batch or something? For whatever reason that was the only commercial package of seed that had poor germ rates. Oh well... I took a few quick pics with my cell this morning of the new dutch bucket setup and the rest of the ladies:        ...

So I am still deciding if I am going to put all of these in the ground or not. I may pot a couple in air pruning pots instead of the garden. I've got until Mother's Day to get that ironed out. I may do less but it's definitely too late to start more.   Breed - Soil - Hydro 7 Pot / Trinidad...

LOL your guess is as good as mine. They didn't seem to have the best germ rates. I ended up picking up a different type of yellow bell and had considerably better germs. I wanna say it was the Sunbright Bells or something like that.

I actually stumbled across them in Lowe's on a Burpee seed stand. They're essentially just yellow bells. I'll have to check but I might have some extra seeds if you want some Noah. That reminds me, I need to update my grow list now that it's all said and done. It's changed pretty dramatically...

I got the DWC/LPA plants transplanted into the dutch butch system late last night. It's half assed thrown together at the moment but it works. We had a busy weekend so I didn't get to dedicate as much time to it as I would have liked. 

So I am prepping my Dutch bucket outdoor system this weekend. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience transplanting from DWC (Deep Water Culture) or LPA (Low Pressure Aeroponics) to Dutch buckets? Any tips or lessons learned would be appreciated. Thanks!
