Hello my friends... My peppers are a'growing. Organically, it is not without hitch, a few worms here and there. The experiment proves that as previously mentioned by @CaneDog , the peppers greatly appreciate the space no matter how young they are. The peppers in the 3 inch pots are microscopic...

My family got me Indian food for my birthday this year. Every time they ask what spice level out of 5, we say "very spicy, 5". Well, it's either a new chef, they got some new peppers, or they changed their scale because this was the first time I had an entire dish that was ever so borderline...

Great... I've patiently waited. Some of the newer leaves look a little better, but it's still an issue. I've been applying castile soap every other day, and neem oil once a week, alongside a once a week foliar spray of kelp. Is there anything else I can do or am I screwed? It was all going so well.

Hello my friends. My peppers have been steadily growing in FL. It has been quite hot until just yesterday where the temperatures dipped into the 50s, hopefully one last time. I have been battling some white flies, however there is a more urgent matter I need to fix, which is minor leaf...

Thanks, I'll check soon... I have a large pile of random sized pots from nurseries but they're from purchases. There's something about the uniformity I prefer. When push comes to shove, for this amount, I'd rather have free.

Almost none have germinated, have since given up and inspected a few. Some remain intact, some seem to have rotted. Perhaps these were planted too deep, but I did not do anything noticeably different than any other seeds. Again, identical condition to a 95%+ germination rate from Strictly...

Sorry for the bump… Any further comments? I’m stumped at the nearly 0% germination rate after 3 weeks, I cannot deny I was looking forward to the Sandia seeds more than any because I am a Mexican food addict. Maybe it’s not hot enough yet in Florida for a landrace from New Mexico? Heck though...

I’m very disappointed. I didn’t do anything differently than with the almost 100% germ rate of Strictly Medicinal Seeds. I in no way blame Sandia I just don’t understand why this has happened. Basicaly every Mexican/New Mexican variety in my list is Sandia.

Thanks I hope so too. Your peppers look amazing in the photos, so healthy and vibrant green. I am wondering if my Sandia seeds have not sprouted because the environments are so different... Surely it cannot be? It is so dry in New Mexico compared to here. The root balls were not dense at all...

First tray has been transplanted at 1 month old. Any commentary on expected growth rates from here on out so I have some sort of guidelines to compare to? I really hope somehow they haven't become stunted. I did half 3 inch pots, half 1/2 gallon to test things out. Himo Togarashi, and Santaka...

Wow such healthy plants and indoors at that… remarkable.

Really? Transplant as soon as now? Is this often the size these trays produce? I figured they’d be a little bit bigger before transplanting seeing as how tiny the pots at stores at yet large the plants are. You are right about the hairs. I popped one out to inspect and tons of hairs on the...

Cheaper than pots? I don’t like to replenish things every year so I do what I can to buy something that lasts. I have some textile grow bags and they were expensive, but they were 7 ”soil” gallons or whatever the term is, which I believe is more like 4-5 liquid gallons. Maybe 10 of them for...

Thanks for the comments…. When do you think? I have small 3 inch pots and half gallon right now, trying to find a cheap-ish source of nicer 1 gallon pots. This is my first time growing in direct sunlight in these trays as I said. I’m not sure when I will transplant. Must be best when the root...

Hello everyone, I live in South Florida and am an avid gardener but I have taken a liken to peppers and tobacco. I sowed many hundreds of peppers and dozens of varieties this year with intent to sell, the plants that is. Unfortunately I don't have space to grow the peppers to maturity and start...

Greetings everyone, I came here in search of some assistance, which I will post in another thread! I am a spice addict but I don't care for super-hots, I generally like the classical ranges, cayenne, habanero, scotch bonnet, Japanese and New Mexican heirlooms, etc. Hopefully this growing...
