I would say its the temps as well.  Here in Philly temps have been super high and the rain abundent.  Lots of yellow leaves and flower drop.  This time last year I already pulled 2-3 rounds of ripe pods off my plants.  Still waiting for my first ripe pod this year.  Not happy

Funny thing, some sort of pest, i'm thinking cutworms, inadvertantly helped me out this year. It was eating allllll of my lower level leaves so that my plants all became bushy. The few that were not attacked are taller but have many less nodes then those which I initially was worried about...

I've been gettin a ton of flower drop on my Bhuts & Scorpions. My Habs, Japs, Birds eyes, and devils tongue all seem to be doing great. I'm going to take a guess and say that it has been the 20+ days out of the last 30 with 90 degree heat and little rain that is causing this here in Philly. I...

I have 5 gallon bags and i'm using MG Moisture Control in them. I know, I know, everyone on this site HATES MG products but ever since i started growing peppers from seed I have used it and never had an issue. First time using the moisture control, figured in the bags it could be the better...

Do they actually prevent the plants from becoming root bound as they claim to do?

Thanks! First time ever using the fabric bags. In the past i have used the clay pots but they were too expensive for the amount of plants I have this year. I also found a great deal on nursery pots. A lot of people end up getting them for free but seems the garden centers around me in philly...

Sure thing! The exact listing is no longer available but this seems to be the same exact thing. http://www.amazon.com/Gal-Grow-Bag-10-ea/dp/B002JLCG4G/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1337632094&sr=8-2

Chsy83, I ordered from Amazon. The fabric bags are black, 5 gallons, and have handles.

Well turns out I got myself a deal here. I ordered the plastic 5 gal grow bags at .59 cents each and ended up being sent the fabric grow bags instead. Certainly not complaining especially because at $5.90 for 10 fabric bags... seems to be a steal!

Sounds Great, just make sure i get the first one off the assembly line and don't short me on my cut! ;)

Nice, did you have any issues with drainage or the bags losing shape in heavy rain?

Thanks, I'll have to check out the fabric bags. I've read about people using them on here and they seem to work very well, but haven't heard anything about the plastic ones.

Yeah thats what i was affraid of. I found a few sites that have brand new nursery pots for a fairly good price. I'm thinking of buying a few of the bags to experiment but for now sticking to what I know works.

I was curious if anyone has any experience with the Viagrow plastic grow bags or anything that is close to them? They look like a little trashbag with holes for drainage, they're reversible to white. Seems like a much cheaper alternative to buying 5 gallon nursery pots. Any help would be...

Hey, i'm also in Philly, Northwest. Last year I started my seeds in the beginning of April and I didn't get peppers till the end of July. Granted I was growing all super hots and it was my first run at growing from seed, I did fairly well and even overwintered one of my Ghost pepper plants. I...
