I see a few of you use the jiffy pods to start seeds. Thought about giving it a try. Read different reviews of removing the bag or keeping it. Thought I would get it direct from the experts themselves.     SO do you cut off the bag before transplanting or just leave them as is?

Not sure what happened, could be that I had the plants in small cups for way to long before plant out, could be not enough nuts, could be just my luck.. however, picked some peppers (some may say maybe they weren't ready but I think they were as some never grew for a month or so...) anyway. put...

I have had my plants outside hardening off for the past week + but a couple, not all, have leaves like these two. I had put in some extra water as last year a few of my first plants dried up when I put them outside.   Also, gave them a shot of miracle grow (just a low dosage) last week, might be...

Curious if any of you might know what I did wrong. I am trying this method after seeing a lot of fellow THPs using it. These are in small containers, 2x2 with 5 seeds. The roots are starting to come out but some seem to be rotting possibly? Getting fuzzy.. These are from seeds I saved from last...

I have a small fish tank that is just sitting there and I need to buy a month or two of time before I can put the plants in the garage. I have only 4 plants that have sprouted and waiting on the others.   Is it safe to put them in a fish tank with lights over head? And if so, for how long? I am...

So I purchased some LED strip lights from Amazon. What a disappointment...    First off, the lights didn't seem new at all.. After the first 3 sets of LEDs there was a 3LED set that was soldered together in between. Then further down the strip was another soldered joint.    Either way, I used an...

Believe me I have been trying to figure out lighting by reading these forums but its to damn complicated for me. Found this shop light at Costco and compared it to T5 and T8 light bulbs and believe it is a good buy for seedlings to 5inch plants or so. However, want to get a knowledgeable opinion...

Not sure if I am creating myself more of a headache or not but was planning on putting in seeds in dixie cups. I have about 18 varieties (thanks to a couple of you kind folk here!) and wanted to start off with about 5 dixie cups, each with one seed. Then migrate to Solo Cups after a while, then...

Noticed some black dots on a few of my plants flowers. Cant really tell what it is, tried to do some searching online but they look like they are on top of the leaves, not in the leaves. Any thoughts??      

Found a couple bugs. One after doing some google searches looks like a tortoise shell beetle and then another, looks to be cousin of a lady bug. Didnt see them on the list on the pest post thought I would share with you and see what you thought. The tortoise shell beetle scared the crap out of...

Thought I would ask the experts. Some of my plants have some leaves that are curling upwards and one or two have some leave damage. The only bugs I see are ants like crazy. Should I do something about the ants? Until this week they stay on the ground but lately have been crawling on the plants...

Assuming its a baby aphid but I have never seen them and want to be sure.     Just realized its a bad picture, I will take another.   Weird as these are still indoors and just appeared yesterday but nothing have changed over the last month or so.

Figure it would be good to become more of an active member on these forums and start my own glog. For the following reasons   1. Something to look back and reflect on for my accomplishments. 2. Get expert advice (from all you wise ones, and some of the pretenders :) on what I am doing wrong. 3...

I read some information on cross pollination and how it will not show until the following year (if you use the seeds from the two plants).   Typically I have gone to a local nursery to purchase my plants, but this year I was sent some seeds and they seem to be doing pretty good. In the past I...

Thought I would introduce myself as being semi-new here. I actually came across this site and registered a while back but never posted or introduced myself. Just stalked the forums dun dun dunnnn..   From NM so some may get the title of my intro thread.   Have been growing green chile here for a...
