I'm considering abandoning the plants then. I like having access to the variety of peppers that I can't otherwise have. but it's a lot to go through. growing them in the spring to harvest once each year is exhausting and time consuming. bringing them in and having a bunch of aphids in my flat is...

I'm fairly new to growing hot peppers. I have a variety of Jalapeños, Habanero's, Cherry peppers, and Bird's Eye. I live in norther Germany. our weather is somewhat similar to weather in NY or PA. just less snow. just as cold but not as humid. My apartment doesn't get much sun because of tall...

No. Besides the plant laying down, it seems perfect. But like I said, it’s only a jalapeño. If it were a birds eye, cherry, or habanero, I’d be real dissapointed. Jalapeños are not common here but I can find them with a bit of effort and being willing to take a train and a couple buses to a...

I thought of rigging something up to prop it up and keep it standing. sort of a crutch. maybe a ring around the stem maybe 8 or 9 cm off the surface of the soil and 4 or 5 legs keeping the ring in place. but I don't know that this is a viable option.

No it’s still just laying down. Luckily it’s just a jalapeño. Not one of the ones that’s much harder to find in Germany. So I guess I’m ok with letting it go.

Here is that same plant now. Obviously a lot of growth and improvement. Whats everyones opinion or advice on pruning/topping? Also the plant in the back is very weak. If I remove that stick I have in there propping him up, hell fall right over. Still growing as long as I leave the stick in. This...

Awesome. Thanks I really like what you have for your grown plants. I’d love something like this. My issue is I really can’t mount that to my ceiling. I’d need some sort of stand/rig/rack that holds the lighting system above my plants. Any ideas or solutions there? something like this? the thing...

I got this flood light. https://www.desertcart.nl/products/182216564-as-schwabe-467-halogen-spotlight-with-stand-400-w-2-fold-r-7-s-400-watts-230-volts Is it too much?

For a week or two I think this light I bought is enough. I was thinking of buying a flood light or construction light? The free standing yellow ones. These work well for my purposes right?

It’s 72W

Went to a farmers market today and bought a whole lot of potting mix. Couldn’t find it in any flower shops. Required some real searching. And ordered some lighting systems that are free standing. Thanks for the tips

German apartments tend to be pretty small. Not a lot of room for lighting. Especially if it’s the kind I need to hang from the ceiling or something like that. I’d like to maybe get a free standing light and just direct it at the plants. What kind of bulb is best? How strong? Can you find the...

So should I replant plants that have been in potting soil in potting mix or leave them in the soil?

in place of the mustard seeds or still using mustard seeds as well?

didn't say I can't find good pickles. said I can't find good spicy pickles. Germans typically don't care for spicy foods. so grocers don't make too much of an effort to stock spicy foods. most pickles sold in stores here are sour or possibly garlic or something like that

 potting soil. pretty good quality added a bit of compost to it as well

hard to find good spicy pickle's in germany. so I've started making my own. they're pretty good so far. way better than any I have found to buy here. but there's a flavor missing I just can't figure out.   I've been making mine with: Chili Peppers or Jalepenos minced and maybe one whole. cane...

    ok thank you. I"m also planting Cherry Peppers, Bird's Eye, and Habanero Peppers. should I expect the same growth rate out of them?

Is that normal for it not to progress at all for several weeks?
