    Tomatoes seedlings WAY too tall, can I trim tops until I can plant?

    In the interim Maybe you can transplant into 1/2 gal paper milk containers. I used those one year with great success. Bury as deep as you want. Cut the container away when transplant.

    Identify my 2020 peper problems/ remedies?

    Thanks for the advise! The roots are shallow. When I re potted a couple I was disappointed to find such a small root mass maybe due to top watering.

    topping pepper plants?

    Facebook has a group "Chile Pepper Plant Strippers" group on this subject. That said, I stripped plants a few years back and though I didnt keep accurate records, the plants ( chinense) responded amazingly and bushed out like crazy and looked amazing. I reccommend stripping some of your plants.

    Thanks for the suggestions ! Blitz,nice setup man. I was thinking along the same lines about an enclosed space. Currently the growstand is eclosed on three sides w/ the front with a roll up mylar. I think a better front barrier will be the easy way to start. Im thinking I can put some space...

    seeds Starting Seeds/ seedlings in the cold basement

    well, the growstand is in the basement but if I put a space heater on a stand or something to direct the heat at the upper levels where the plants live will help. Not to hip on leaving the heater on unattended,

It was cooked for 15 minutes, blended, then cooked another 20 minutes, then bottles. It's getting good reviews on taste but not so good on aroma.   Is...
