Dougthehead 2023 Glog

I guess now is as good a time as any to start a grow log. I'm currently growing under a Barrina 2000 led grow light. I'm using Berger 7 potting soil amended with bone meal, blood meal, earthworm castings, and innoculated with Mikro-Myco mycorrhizae. My current plants were dropped in on January 15 and January 30 with no soak or pre-treatment. My current grow list is as follows:

7 Pot White

They look sturdy!

Nice one Doug, looks like the fort and juju peppers are working

 

[Dougthehead]

Getting kinda crowded up in the ole fort.

 

[Dougthehead]

Not a pepper, but had to share my awesome find while out walking some new trails today. I knew they grew around here, just never found one. First one I find is this monster, and another little guy.

 

[Grass Snake]

That’s amazing. Do you know what kind of tree was nearby where you found it?

No, I didn't even record my coordinates. So many mistakes. But, it's a really small trail system and you can be sure I will be out there this weekend prepared to map the whole place out.

 

[Simcows]

A monster morel indeed! I'm jealous

My rocoto germination results.....

I knew the day would come sooner or later, but yesterday was confirmation. The aphid war has begun.

 

[Dougthehead]

It looks like my heavy handed approach worked on knocking out the aphids. Went through every single plant individually with magnifying glasses and squished all of them. Then gave them a heavy spray of insecticide, which damaged some leaves, but they're recovering fine. Still too cold at night to move them outside annoyingly, but a few more days and it should be good. Here's some pictures from this morning.

Too cold at night? my plants been outside for weeks

 

[Ratatouille]

You're a beacon of hope for all of us with aphids and a last frost day that's still a month away.

 

[Dougthehead]

Planted 48 of my oldest plants of the year each in their own 10 gallon fabric pots around my back yard. Did my own mix of some sphagnum moss, local mix of sharp sand, Leaf compost, and composted cow manure, triple phosphate, worm castings, bone meal, blood meal, dolomite lime, humic acids, azomite trace minerals, #3 perlite (great quality), and some super thrive.

 

[Grass Snake]

It's incredible how many plants you have going. I bet it felt good to get them out of the house. Looks like it was alot of work but at least you had a helper.

Yeah, I still have quite a few to pot up. They'll have to wait until next weekend probably.

Same here I still have 2 trays of peppers sitting on the porch until I can get some more pots and potting mix.

 

[Dougthehead]

Potted up I think 48 more into 1 gallon pots, and still have some stragglers, sigh. Too tired to move them back to the grow tent, they're just going to have to live in the garage tonight.

 

[Grass Snake]

why not keep them outside at this point? They look real good.

I need to harden these off as I don't have any more shaded areas I can put them in and just leave them out there. They would be wilted over in 15 minutes in direct sun. All of the ones I have in the 10 gallon pots are shaded most of the day, so I just moved them straight from the tent to outside full time. Another reason is that several of these were 2 or 3 in a pot and I had to separate them, tearing a lot of the roots. I like them to have a good root system before I put them out full time.
