Sorry for not having the previews up I felt lazy of resizing pictures plus you get to see them in full view with the links.

The leaves droop a little bit but I did just water the plant before I took the picture. The tip's of the leaves are burnt a little bit because of frost I actually saved this plant and bought some really good fertilizer from the store 6 days ago and it burst into growth before it was hardly a sprout. This is the fertilizer im using.

This stuff really stinks but I belive the more it stinks the better lol *probably a lie sounds true though* also im not sure what mycorrhizae is but im sure ill learn what it is *I could google it but i get misinformed id much rather ask people.* Ok well enough rambling, hope you all can help me grow a beautiful plant.
 
I think Mycorrhizae for fungii are sort of analagous to roots for plants. They often have symbiotic relationships with the plants they live around/with. Off the top of my head - sorry not more precise info. Too lazy to look it up :oops: Don't want to stop browsing the forum!
 
It is a fungus and is great for starter plants. It can reduce the amount of watering needed as well . Makes a stronger root structure too. I am gonna start using it on all my babies. Just don't add any other ferts from what I have been told that can kill it. When i say don't add any ferts that doesn't count the ones that are already mixed in the soil. Just liquid ferts like miracle grow and fish emulsion. Once the plant is well established you can pot it up or in the ground and begin your regular feeding.

Here is a short video how it works.

Allright good suggestion thanks allot romy6 :)
watched the video science is awesome :)

What do you guys think about my pepper plant btw and I live in glendale az im wondering on when i can put this baby in sun light also, I'm wondering if I need more light on my plant, or need anything else :).
 
I live in Florida and my plants stay outside all year. I would gradually start exposing them to natural light. After a few weeks you should be able to leave them outside in full sun. As long as temps don't drop below 40 degrees.
 
Florida weather is a bit diffrent though its more humid, right now its been in the 70F and 40F to 46F at night. not sure if i want to rist one night being too cold xD but ill think about it. I kind of wanted to wait till feb 15th or around there. Also any tips on gradually start exposing them to natural light? I did fry my plants once before not knowing this would happen I just started growing a year ago. Its worth a shot though Just in the winter time it does get below 40 here :(
