Ok so this will be my first grow of anything ever , I'll post some pictures of what I got and what I've been doing and maybe you can lend me a couple of helpful words along the way first I'll post my grow list ...
PEPPER PLANTS 2013
Bhut jolokia - Ghost Chile Plant
Jay's Peach Ghost Scorpion Chile Plant
Jay's Red Ghost Scorpion Chile Plant
Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Chile Plant
Trinidad 7 Pot Primo Chile Plant
Purple Jalapeño Chile Plant
Butch T Scorpion/7 pot Jonah hybrid Chile Plant
Carolina Reaper Chile Plant
Chocolate 7 pot/ 7 pot Douglah Chile Plant
Chocolate Trinidad Scorpion Chile Plant
7 pot Brain Strain Red Chile Plant
Bell Pepper or Jalapeno Plant ??
Last plant is a plant my son received at a pepper feast we went to in Brooklyn last year , they had a little area were kids could transfer there own seedlings , he kept alive all winter so I planted it in a 5 gallon pot for him if you know what it is please let me know because I have no clue lol .... Here's a pic of it
Out of that list I have three transferred into 5 gallon nursery pots , all have been topped off somewhat or pruned just a bit , I was scared honestly to do any of that but I went ahead and did it anyway , if you see if I did it wrong please do tell me !!!
the first is a chocolate scorpion which I think I overwatered when I first received it in its 3.5" pot , leaves curled up on me , but the plant is still growing and it hasn't gotten worse once I stopped babysitting it hers it's pic
The second is a 7pot Douglah
And the third is my Carolina reaper which has been the prettiest of the bunch so far , I actually transferred this one first about a week and a half ago and it's grown quit a bit since the transfer , the other 2 superhots were only transferred a couple of days ago .... Here's a pic of the Carolina reaper ...
I've been foliar spraying with cal-mag plus every night and watering maybe once a week with some cal mag also , all the plants were planted in miracle grow for potted plants as that is all I could find locally and I didn't really have time with work and all to go looking for anything better . I just received a bottle of neptunes harvest 2-3-1 fish and seaweed fert but wasn't sure if I should use it yet as miracle grow soil has its own fert in it .
Should I wait awhile before using it ( the neptunes harvest ) or should I start using it right away ? Should I water it in or foliar feed it like I do the cal-mag plus ? Also I didn't use Verlite In the soil because the miracle grow soil said it had it mixed in but it was very little , now I'm Afraid of messing with the plants and trying to add it . I'm afraid of hurting the roots of the plants ...
I should be receiving the rest of my plants this week and transplanting them into there 5 gallon plants this weekend , I'll harden them off. For a couple of days and see what happens from there ...
So how do you guys think I'm doing so far ?? Did I top them and prune them right ? Am I going overkill with the nightly cal-mag sprays ? I've been stalking the site for about a year so I'm hoping I'm doing something right , lol :p . Thanks in advance for any tips , advice or replys !!! Looking forward to hearing what you guys think !!!! , Carlos , Bronx , NY
