I'm not really sure what's causing my seeds not to germinate. I use a ratio of 3:1 Coco dust and perlite. I don't have a PH tester/meter but I never had this problem before. I moist the medium and keep it in a very shaded area. My other trial is I kept them inside as I thought the cooler temp...

I've read of people getting unwanted germination of seeds in fermenting recipes so this got me thinking. If that's possible in vinegar and paper towel, why not just in distilled water then sow as soon as they show roots. Anyone ever done this?   As an experiment, I'm leaving 5 datil seeds in the...

My potting mix is 50% coco coir, 20% sterilized rice hull, 10% vermiculite and 30% compost. I water every 2-3 days and use slow osmocote slow release nutes.   These tomato plants have been looking like these from the start. I do notice some white flies but I do try to get them off every night...

I have two plants that I supposedly burnt or I think I did and after flushing for the last two weeks, the new growth isn't showing any improvements. I think I may have done something with the soil that's hindering normal growth for the plant. I'm thinking of pulling both plants and...

I have access to some masterblend mhpgarderner uses to make his hydro nutes for tomatoes and was wonderring if anyone uses it as it is or if you have your own formula to grow peppers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYv9iu2NI3M

Was just wondering if anyone has tried this and what were the results. I have a few bottles of hydroponics solution that I used to grow lettuce and chard with. Will using the hydroponics solution harm the soil I have now (kill microbes or fungi)? This is the analysis of the one I have. It has...

I think I may have burned my plants. That is if it's possible to overdose on epsom salt. I used 2 tbsp on 1 liter of water and foliar sprayed on my plants 4 days ago. Any advice on what I should I do?

Was just wondering if anyone uses this brand. Not sure if this is safe for plants since it says it's used for bathing or that isn't an issue? Any advice is greatly appreciated...

My Jalapenos are a foot tall and just started blooming. My problem is that 2-3 plants have their new growth falling off. I picked these new leaves and they seem to be darker in color and somewhat deformed/brittle.   I live in a tropical climate and it's the rainy season here. The plants are...

I arrived a few days ago here in California but will be going back to Manila in a month or so. I'm totally new to other hot peppers other than habs and thai peppers and noticed that the weather here in Sta Clara is really cold (at least to me who is used to warm humid weather).   I plan to buy...

I recently received some unripe pods of local peppers. Is it possible to collect seeds from these pods? Do I just wait for them to ripen and air dry them?

Got this from my wife's mom. Anyone ever grew these? Not really sure what type they are.

I had a case of aphids a few weeks back and three plants got a little overwatered. The new growth were crumpled and looked very brittle (what you normally get when aphids are sucking on the plants). Do these leaves still help in photosynthesis or are they hindring the plant's overall growth...

I'm in the process of creating a list of seeds to buy (with my friends) and I was checking the vendor vault. I noticed a lot of people buy seeds and pods as well. I was crious if whether these pods are meant for eating of getting seeds out of to germinate from. I am assuming of course that most...

I've always been a spicy food lover and I've only tried growing my own pepper this year. I'm very new to growing and I see that there's a ton of info in here that's really very useful. It would take a while to read through everything but the info here is with no doubt as priceless as the people...
