Thanks, cleaned the shells and scattered them around as top-mulch in a 1 inch layer on my only 5 plants.. Hopefully they'll survive :). Hoping to get a more stable moisture "boil-off". (Potted plants on balcony)

Hello,   Been eating quite a few pistachios and saved all the shells, anyone tried using them as mulch on pepper/tomatoe plants (rinsed and cleaned of all salt ofc)?

Ok, thanks for replys. This is the result of my harvest in sweden... https://imgur.com/a/rNeYz Trying a ferment in brine on the unripe for fun, I don't have any hopes though... The ripe ones tasted really nice, too bad there where so few.

Hello,   Have 2 rocotoplants with a mix of ripe and unripe(green) Rocotos, frost has hit and need to pick and preserve em, whats the best way? Freeze or make some ferment? 

Ok, thanks, guess Ill have to experiment some more, going to try and feed the plants once a week and see what happens.

Hello,   Been growing peppers/tomatoes for a while but one thing thats been bothering me all the time is how much to feed the plants? Right now Im using General Hydroponics Duo in soil based plants, Im mixing "terra" 50% according to instructions. But how often do I feed em with this mix? Every...

Ok, thanks. Have killed about 30, showered my plants and sprayed some soap water. Hope it gets better... I think the potted thyme I bought a week ago is to blame...

Hello,   Have gotten some small insects on some of my plants. See attached images. According to my research it seems like thrips? Can anyone confirm? They're about 2 mm and the affected plants have leaves with brown parts with small tiny black dots on 'em. The insects seems to mostly jump quite...

Ive come to the conclusion I suck at determine how much water plants need. I've always read the "hot peppers dont like wet feet" etc and got hung up on it i think. Now I have a couple of plants on my balcony in sunny location most of the day. Some plants get yellow leaves all over which I...

Hmm, to clarify, I made first post over a year ago, I kept some manzanos for overwintering since they're slow growers but they were diseased and it spread to my jalapenos and cayennes I planted this year. All plants have been repotted atleast 2 times and is in 2-5 gallons pots atm. The diseased...

An update if anyone cares..., Ive tried different pesticides/fungicides but none had worked this far and the disease had spread to most (80%) of my plants. Its mostly old growth thats affected and they're falling of after some time.The fruit yield stills seems to be ok and the fruits themselves...

But isn't that a bit unreliable? I think it would be too hard to get it right since the water req differs alot between if sun is up or not. Thats what led me to capillary mats since my understanding is the plant will wick what it needs? So I'm more considering it a fulltime solution if I haven't...

Hello! I need some advice on an autowatering system. Sometimes Im away for a couple of days and cant water my plants. Im mostly an indoor grower have quite a few overwintering plants that been starting to drink quite much water as the warm spring weather approaches. So, Ive been thinking about...

Hello, Have gotten some new disease on my indoorplants (overwintering). Small black spots on leaves and they're drying out after a couple of weeks, I'm getting new growth though and its setting some fruit but i guess at some moment the plants will stop producing new leaves... Anyone got a clue...

Hello, Have 3 plants thats like in the picture with upward leaf curl. The leaves seems quite thick and green but they start rolling up, on all plants its beginning at the bottom and working its way upward the plant. Cant say i overwater and feed with chilifocus sporadically (half str once a...

Ok, thanks for answers. Have been surfing the web and it seems most copper-based pesticides is banned in sweden/eu. I've found a recipe to make some kind of "rose-water" that might do; 3 l of water, 3 tablespoons of calcium hydroxide and 6 teaspoons of copper-sulfate. Any "chemist" know if this...

Now its getting worse and seem to have spread to nearby plants... :( Looking at pictures over the internet I'm fairly certain its bacterial leaf spot but there doesn't seem to be a viable solution to this? It seems you can slow the disease but not eradicate?

No they had these problem before, usually they get quite scorched inside my south facing windows anyways.

Hello! Im a new poster from Sweden needing some help diagnosing some leaf-"problems". I grow all my chillis inside my apartment but have been moving out some plants on the balcony this week. First image is my rocoto plant. I guess this is some kind of bacteria?? Can anyone confirm? Is there...
