Just another glog of a newb who doesn't know what they are doing. But with the plethora of info on this forum how hard can't it be right..?

Looking good Mr Tung!!

As for the black spots on the leaves and other issues...i get stuff like that all the time, but my plants do far better with me ignoring it rather than throwing loads of "stuff" at the problem. They seem quite capable of sorting themselves out dont they?!

Its getting crowded in here! Today Im going to start hardening them off. It's still too cold here so my kids and I are going to make a mini greenhouse. Then I can start some more seedlings ;)

Check it!

You are off to a good start, Lava! It's kind of funny to see
you starting your season as we are approaching the last
couple of months of ours! But then, I felt the same way
six months ago when you were all kickin' buttocks and we
were just getting to transplanting into party cups!
 
Thanks Paul!

It was seeing all you guys plants that inspired me to start growing in the first place.
I don't know what I'll do at the end of season.
Probably grow some inside!
 
Looks great, man! As big as those plants are at the moment, you are going to have a HUGE jump start on spring time. Being a newb and figuring this stuff out as you go along is a lot of fun. This is my first season, as well.
 
Cheers Doc!
I got my seeds at the start of winter and couldn't wait until spring.
I'm really glad I found this forum, so many kind folk who are more than happy to share their wisdom.
 
So I went to bunnings today to buy some clear plastic to make a greenhouse. Turns out its cheaper to buy a greenhouse.

I also picked up some vermiculite and perlite. It was around $30 for 30ltrs and $40 for 100ltrs. Bargin!

The ones at the back are Annuum's. I left them out side all night (5deg) and all day today. They look pretty good. I think I might pot up and move the chinense outside this weekend. Then I might focus on some tomatoes. They dont get me high like the chilli but I defiantly use them as much if not more.

This is the potting mix Im using. 6 Parts organic potting mix "which has 1/4 organic compost in it already", 1 part Vermiculite, 1 part Perlite and 1/2 part clean white sand. Also gave them a sip of worm wee to help them settle into their new homes. It is still real cold here in Perth so I hope they go alright outside. My Birdseyes have been outside for nearly a week now and are looking good so fingers crossed!
