Txclosetgrower said:I'll probably pick up some strawberries in a month or two, and then maybe a tomato or two depending on what they have at the nurseries. I'm only starting peppers from seed this year, everything else i'll buy.
I'll be buying various basils, thyme, and other herbs too.
Think i'm going to stick to growing determinate tomatoes this year....but i'm going to grow monster peppers. Assuming this balcony gets enough light, you'll shit bricks when you see what coco coir does to plants.
Well, actually, just look at redeyes log, thats a great example of the results you get from treating coco like a hydro medium.
I grew peppers for a little bit in coco before, and they got big quick but i ended up throwing them out because of bugs I have less bug problems here.
The grew fast
That's cool. I actually have some herbs going right now(basil, oregano, parsley and rosemary). Determinate sounds like the way to go on your balcony. That supersweet 100 was a monster.
I am curious to see the results of the coco coir. I plan on only growing 4 of my plants in coir. I figure that way if I screw things up it won't be so bad. Redeyes and you have done some nice things with coir, hopefully things go just as well for me. Well...minus the bugs.
