Sorry could not be arsed with all the technical classifications- yeah, I’m rude. I have decided to save seed collections for the future. So sorry to Jungle Rain, Rainbow, and THSC, who I have utmost respect and regard for. I’m sorry, but I’ll save your seeds for my property later. Just don’t have enough room right now. Apologies to others I’ve received seeds for, but We’ll get this party started soon enough.Lasty, in case of any dispute, my Mouraga is actually a feinting goat which is being hunted by a Trinidad Chupacacbras.​

Objective​
I intend to try and grow this list of plants in an apartment complex over the next 9 months. I feel, they will take a while to germinate naturally and then grow (Goodness help me). March has arrived, and spring is here. I’ve decided to start afresh- the Peter, Fatalli and Congo have survived my cull. I have an obligation to some people on here, to grow some of their seeds, so I have. It killed me, to pull up yee old uns, but I have to consider feelings and efforts of people who kindly donated seeds to my Korean project. Sadly, to grow more, I have to wait for my larger property, but I’ll get there soon. My Mrs. isn’t having right now.​

Method- Old styleeee​
Seed and sow-. For me- it’s Just soil mix and water. It’s Survival of the fittest to start with. Basically, put the seeds straight into the ground, no gimmicks, no lights, no warming beds, au natural. I try not use artificial stuff, unless absolutely necessary. Well, until Animals Attack, I will use the pesticide stuff here. For food- I have my own seaweed concentrate mix- with potassium, multivitamin magnesium, calcium, iron, nitrogen fertilizer concentrate. I made up for later. Seems to work pretty well if I put it 1/10 concentration.​

I will try to keep you updated in the future. I had my stuff arranged and mapped out, until the M in Law removed my tags when cleaning. Luckily, I have a good memory and know where the stuff goes, unless she re-arranged them too. Guess. It’ll be more apparent later.​

Help, advice and expertise needed and warranted but usually unheeded.​

Adios and thanx​

Well done! Your grow is hitting supersonic speed.
Will be fun watching them come along.
 
Looking great how did you find out about the beer feeding that is interesting hopefully it works for you. Some of my first pods where small compared to what I have now so I treat it as a normal routine for my plants. Keep up with the awesome vlog
 
Thanx- if I see some good Koreans- I'll hook u up- I usually do a mass one twice a year- hard work mind.

Beer feeding- was some old, Canadian geezer I knew just decided to pour some on my plants about 7 yrs ago- he was actually made, thought I'd try it.
 
Crazy growth now that you added beer and calcium. I often use a spray compounded of beer, molasses, ammonia and a few drops of dish soap to add some short-term fertilizer to give the plants a little shot of green without interfering with blossoming. Most plants like getting sugar through their roots that they don't have to photosynthesize.
Your Cicadas sound different than ours... the Cicadas here sound like little sawmills that wind up for about 20-30 seconds and then wind down. Cheers!

You can also sprinkle some dry molasses on the soil and water it in.

How's it going, Bootsie?
 
Nice balcony grow Bootsie. Liked the look at the plants,
but I'll have to look later to be able to hear your commentary
since my hard of hearing dad is watching t.v. at 80% volume :rolleyes:

You and Beehunter seem to have the balcony thing down!
 
I did not get the Ttaeng yet I am still trying to decide, since I only have room for one Korean variety next year I am looking into different peppers and reading the website perspective on each one.
 
Het Boot,
Nice video.............Run that air con, its still summer. You're getting pretty good with that "steady video" .........I also appreciate the non stop narration....
The plants look good, all healthy green and considering the size of the pots they're in, I can see you getting some ripe pods soon. I'm sure its not easy to grow from the balcony. But Bee and a few others are having some pretty good progress.
Good luck with the progress through September. the light duration drops but so does the suns angle (better for the balconey)
Have fun with the Douglahs..........they're pretty freaken hot!
