My containers all have drainage holes around the perimeter on the bottom.   I still may not be understanding. I have not seen the effect described, and my containers are emptied each year. I could be wrong but I think PWT is a fancy way of saying the growing medium is waterlogged. I don't know...

I guess one more thing to say is I once grew a habalokia in a 7 gal black pot, which was and still is the biggest success story I have had. Lots of luck was involved. Half a decade ago. The rootball was the entire container. I pulled the plant out, and the whole cylinder of grow medium came out...

Thank you thank you all. Damit I set it for 24 hours and it is not easy to set mine. You have to be there and I am laze and don't want to be up that early.  :party:  Maybe I can change the interval at any time of the day, versus the start time, which I MUST be there. I got this timer at a...

You hear a lot about over-watering peppers. I am using a lawn sprinkler (this is an unchangeable variable) on hot pepper plants in the soil. I was planning to run it 15 minutes daily, very early morning, but a friend has talked me into running it only every 48 hours. Opinions?

Charleston SC (I don't know if you'e close) got 2.88" of rain on the 5th. That's a hell of a lot of rain. 

Nibbles I am not expert but was there some environmental event? Did you guys get that cold snap down there that we did up here? 

My success is consistently spotty, but I do reap pods annually.  :party:

I am in agreement. My initial post may have been misleading. I have (for better or worse) decided to grow without cloth / plastic / what have you. My health is not that great and the energy is not there, nor the money really, for the hobby. I also see it as a challenge, soil growing. I have use...

I plant in soil in the garden. Clearly this is my issue solid7 and I need to wait till July to place them out. Very hard to do because I am already on a restricted time window. But it's clear to me now.  Thank for the insights. Every year, is the same theme. This years variation was I planted on...

I think zeroing in on one element is a difficult way to go. "The longer they've been under grow lights" is a LOT of things. Your BEST bet probably is to experiment. Take a few and do this. Take a few and do that. Bring them out in stages. I myself like to put them outdoor under 4 mil plastic for...

My two cents is they weren't UV hardened gradually enough. That glass you mentioned - I am GUESSING, was blocking UV. Most glass does.

Did you come to a conclucion? Looks like overwatering. never nip off baby leaves for whoever's reading. They can be your last hope in some cases.

Should

Hello NitePagan I'm over in Bangor. I am only peppers, have a small outdoor garden and containers, but prob going 100% containers next year. I am somewhat into LED. I keep a small number alive in the winter. I've been growing 7 years. FB:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/1484963338469624/

Thank you!

I am gone 4 to 5 days at a time, and I wish I had a mister set up for my overwinters. I keep them in an 18x24 greenhouse, under LED lighting. I cannot depend on the people here to water my plants as needed. I have lost half this winter to both under and over watering. I am determined to come up...

Hygrozyme treatment is a great idea. I re-use "old" soil all the time.

I'm an airline pilot. There are no chemtrails. Building a small greenhouse today. Maine. Can;t stand seeing everyone else growning peppers south of me LOL!!!

Totally. I think I will probably do 2 rows per bed this year. I am just too limited on space.
