Your plants look really great, and your outdoor garden is so cool.
Really enjoyed the Hawai'i pics. What a nice place to live. I thought
the video was funny. Would have been funny if anyone had done it.
Never heard of these dudes before, but the guy has swing by the yard
to eat three of those babies.

Really enjoying your hawai'i grow, brah!

thanx bratha, yep that all clad is sh**t when it comes to cooking pots that's my gift for myself my next project is to get my soil amendment for our red clay soil and the rest will stay on containers

 

[PaulG]

I know stuff is expensive there, Pinoy. That's the down side of paradise.
I'm sure the laid back hawai'i life style helps make up for the screws the
man puts to us!

Good luck getting your soil up to snuff; that's a worthy quest!

yep sure damn thing expensive here...but its hard to leave this place i love tropical weather...good relaxing at the top of dead volcano with a good view will make up for and the nice beach also,
yep good luck to me with that super hard clay soil...i just dont know how the hell my dads hawaiian chiles manage to stay alive its been 2 or 3years and they just going strong and now i removed them from there home because i wanna fix the soil i just hope they don't mind removing them from time being and stay alive in there temporary homes

and now my new transplants hopefully they do good not like the last 3 batches that i messed up but they still hanging in there
some pics of my new transplants



all of my transplant goes in a process like this so i just took 1 pic

I just realized that i transplanted 18 plants

2gallon transplants

[Pinoy83]

How did the multi-vitamin experiment go?

i really don't know to me nothing change to them, but the last one when i was grinding the tablet and mix with one gallon water and water it to them the roots went nuts in one month time, its around here somewhere in my glog when i transferred them to there 2gallon container

thats from march 15 to april 26

Holy Guacamole Batman! That looks like a heckofa big root ball. Makes sense though, that you wouldn't see much difference in the crown at first while it was building up the root structure underground. When I transplanted my chiles, they didn't seem to do much for a few weeks. Some of it was probably the cool air temperatures, but looking at their size now, I think they were working on putting out the roots too. Then a few days of rain and warm overnight temps. and they just shot up.

 

[PaulG]

Lookin' good, Pinoy! Your transplants look great. I hope this
post finds you alive and not killed by your dad for messing up
the hawai'ian chiles' nice clay bed!

i really dont know if they shot up for mine because i gave it away to some of my friends and i dont know if its dead or still alive, ill continue my experiment with the new seedlings but will use 5 oz. transparent cups and see if they really help the roots grow like crazy

thanx paul, some of them has sunburn my mom opened the sprinkler so all of the plants in my starter kit got wet and i thought i dried them really well when i put them back inside the house and open the light next morning they got burnt, ill buy some garden & bloom soil conditioner later this week prolly 3 bags of cf and 1 bag steer manure, should i put some perlite in the ground also or no need?

 

[PaulG]

I usually add horticultural pumice to my garden soil just to keep it loose.
I imagine perlite would work the same way. If it's really heavy clay, it
might be a good idea. Other folk probably ought to weigh in on this.

Shit you have any lakes or streams in Hawaii?? lol. If so, I'd sneak a few buckets a day of lake/stream sediment and mix it in. Try it on a small scale. You can try so many different things on a small scale (like taking a few different 1 gallon buckets of your clay and mixing things in to try and get it where you like. this way you can figure out the best/cheapest way to do it) I always try to go for free...lol. I have pretty sticky clay and I tossed in a whole shit load of horse compost....pun intended. To be honest, it seemed to loosen up the stickyness of the clay but I don't know quite yet if it is all that good to grow in this year. If not, I know my garden will be killer for next year. I've already planted the plants in it so it's up to them now.

Those plants of your fathers will be fine. These pepper plants are so resilient it is redonkulous! They can go through hell and back. Even when they look like they are dying, they surprise you. They are the toughest little bastards.

There's a thread going on right now that is discussing clay soils maybe it will help. http://thehotpepper.com/topic/31340-make-clay-soil-better/

Good luck!
