"Potted up" about 17 sofia sweet peppers from Jiffy pucks to party cups on saturday, and a couple of Yellow Scorp CARDIs jumped from 9 oz party cups to 18 oz party cups, along with the 3 Wild Brazils. Still have around 20 more sofias to pot up, plus the hatch chiles and amish bush.
Edited, miscounted the sofias (by 6).

Did you brew your AACT using the recipe in "Growing Hot Peppers" started by bigbodybussey? I'm gonna try but, I don't have all that guano and stuff.
I would also like to know how the Wally bags work out for you as the season progresses.
Nice plants Dude.

I used the recipe as a starting point, but made changes to it based on what I had on hand. Used some (about 2 cups) organic compost w/biochar, some slow release organic compost I got from the farmers co-op (about 1/8 cup) (made from chicken litter, rock phosphate, and … cantthink of the K source) and some jobes organic all purpose w/ biozome starter (1/8 cup again). The biozome had several strains of bacteria and fungus, and even one archae, if I rem correctly …
Oh, and I used 2 tbs of agave, cause I didn't have molasses on hand
As far as the Wally bags, I was using them to get my plants to the point of taking them outside. I have put them in my garden (the plants, not the bags) and I am crossing my fingers against the chance of frost warning tonight.
As the bags were only 50 cents apiece, I still have several that I have not used. One thing I found out. Really easy to rip the bags along the seam if you try. they hold up pretty well if you are careful not to stress the seam specifically.
Plants seemed to do alright, I don't think that it got too cold last night. I dosed all of my plants with AACT, leaves and ground. Got interesting growths on one of my airstones. (looks like little volcanoes made of stiff gelatin/slime). So def had some colonies going.
Decided to keep buckets in rotation, filling them with water to outgas chlorine, occasionally utelizing them to brew AACT (i.e., always have them filled with something). I don't even drink the water, myself.

When trimming down my two Scorpions that were in the 17 gallon storage tub, I gleaned 8 or 9 green (unripe) scorpions. Any suggestions on a good recipe for green TSBTs?
As an aside, one of those scorpions had reached the top of my grow tent and was curling up against the ceiling. They have both been trimmed down and put into 10 gallon root pouches, put on the patio in a shady spot to acclimate to the sun.
