KiNGDeNNiZ's 2013 still with a few healthy plants and pods

so last years grow came with ups.. and a LOT of downs....but it shall not slow me down... since being introduced to the AEROGARDEN (thanks alot PINOYPRIDE) i have yet to stop sowing seeds... so my early starts have already began for next year... i will do my best to label and keep track....Aerogarden #1---sowed 11/6/121Red FDA SB ( PIC1-seeds from this years pods)2. Red FDA SB ( PIC1-seeds from this years pods)3. Red FDA SB ( PIC1-seeds from this years pods)4.5. Mustard Habanero (seeds from Pulpiteers pods)6. Fatalii-yellow (seeds from JAGs pods)7. Mustard Habanero (seeds from Pulpiteers pods)Aerogarden #2 sowed 11/01/121. Bubblegum 7 pot---- Slater1980 0/22. Malaysian goronong (tucabil) 0/33, Red Brain strain (romy6) 1/34. Jamaican Scotch bonnet (midwestchilihead) 0/25. Scotch Bonnet (jamison) 0/26. Mustard Habanero (bakers creek-rareseeds.com) 2/37. Red FDA SB ( PIC1-seeds from this years pods)Aero garden #3---sowed 10/30/12--- intially seeds thrown in soil then moved to aeropods 11/51-6----. Fatalii-yellow (seeds from JAGs pods) 6/6more pics and updates to follow

as you can see in the aerogarden... that lil clear cup was filled with about 20 seeds from JAGs fataliis.. =Dits only been 11 hrs.. and it already looks like this...alakan humus...alfalfa... worm castings.... molasses...mushroom compost...and mycoblast packet

also will take a chance on cloning... thanks to PaulG and other thread who did cloning..

this reaper was dampening in my aero.. so i snipped it...dipped in in rooting hormone (MG)the healthier reaper i moved from aero - soil due to aphid infestation

will find a way to utilize all these goodies from the indoor garden expo

who needs some pectin.. i scored all these at $.54ea due to albertsons grocery closing..

this hot sauce thing is kinda fun... although the jelly seems easier

and with regards to HOW young is too young to start them with peppers... heres my answer.. 4 years old

...:

About 4-5 weeks. I kept them in 1" deep cells for too long

Really excited about the OSU maters

 

[stc3248]

Birgits is getting pretty stout! Got some great stuff going on!

 

[KiNGDeNNiZ]

Tilled the area yesterday and sad to say saw a few more grubs. Time to nuke it some more
Before

After a couple hours

Don't know why dog keeps digging. It's been awhile since the last time. But same spot!!

Update Later as I'm heading to Vegas !!

 

[stc3248]

Bury some of the dogs turds in that hole...a bunch of them. They'll quit digging there. You're gonna have a few grubs...just like aphids, slugs, mites, hornworms, cutworms, earwigs...maybe some mice, rats and the occasional raccoon...just part of the territory!

 

[DesertChris]

don't forget birds, squirrels, rabbits, and of course renegade jalapeno eating scottish sheep....lol

 

[stickman]

Dunno why the dog keeps digging there either... maybe he thinks he'll find Jimmy Hoffa?

Good luck on the battle of the grubs. Possibly stupid question, but does Bt work on them?

Those Reapers look great. Hopefully the JPGS turns around for you.

First ripe pod of the season. It measures at about an inch. Should I harvest it now?!

I trimmed it as it wasn't doing much.

The indoors

The greenhouse babies ready for plantout

Gochu podding up

Reaper lost a few leaves during hardening

 

[stickman]

Nice looking plants DeNNiZ! Will you be planting out this weekend? The Gochu looks great... is that a 1 gallon pot it's in? Good luck with the weather for the next few weeks. I hope you don't get any cold snaps !

 

[KiNGDeNNiZ]

MoA showing. Signs of life. Here come the second set of true leaves

Plant maybe this week as our colds will be only 50s at nights. Yes 1gal. Should i move it to 5gal now??

BT?? Wouldn't know.

BT?? Wouldn't know.

Since the Gochu is podding up ATM it might stress the plant to up-pot now. If you were to strip off the blossoms and pods first though, it think it might pay off in the long run to re-pot in the 5 gal. pot. They always get bigger in the bigger pots.

BT is a soil-dwelling bacteria that kills grubs... Baccillus Thuringiensis. Milky Spore is a type of fungus that does the same.

 

[Jamison]

The greenhouse babies look killer man! Looks like that Reaper is ready to start throwin some buds out eh? The MoA will pull through brotha.

 

[Devv]

Looking good! Very nice setup!

Vegas? I'm jealous Make sure you don't sit at the bar and play poker, they may have to carry you out!

Have fun,

Scott

Man, the greenhouse didn't take long to get moved into! Looks great! I'd pick that JPGS pod. If for no other reason it will allow the plant to focus its energy on recovery instead of maintaining a pod. Besides, looks ripe to me.

Like Rick said, Bt is Bacillus thuringiensis. It is a soil bacterium that kills caterpillars and other larvae when they ingest the bacterium. It is the active ingredient in Mosquito Dunks (kills the larvae). It also kills fungus gnat larvae. Given that the grubs are a soil-dwelling larvae, as well, it just might work on them if the Milky Spore did not.

So could one spray this on the soil? As they need to eat it right? I've only drenched plants in the past.

Usually it is something you mix and pour into the soil when watering. At least that is my impression. You don't have to drench the soil. Just put as much water in the soil as you would when watering. That's the great thing about micro-organisms. They multiply.

I'm going to give it a whirl as they eat the heck out of my corn.

Thanks,

I've read that beneficial nematodes are a good option as well.

Did the milky spore as well. Either I did put enough or it didn't work. Which is the obvious part.
I'll up pot the other gochu since its just vegetating.

In about ready for any of them to pod up. Gonna plant out maybe this week

Looking good! Very nice setup!

Thanks for dropping by scott. Vegas is just blah. I don really play. Usually here for food(buffets) and shows. Don't have money to gamble.

Might have my first pod review this week. And may sow the seeds from this pod. Can't wait to taste.

You got some to send?! Hahaha. Can't afford to spend anymore. !!

Very nice looking plants. I hate grubs as they attract the moles and I hate them even more. Nice new plot you tilled up.
