glog SadisticPeppers 2025 Glog

I plan on restarting small. I ordered Chocolate Reaper seeds from Matt's Peppers (ETA Tuesday 2/14) and will be using my patio to grow the plants. I measured it out, and with the 5-gallon Home Depot buckets from my previous venture, I should have space for 24 on the balcony, using drip irrigators and a fertilizer injector.

I'll be sure to post up pics soon when I begin the seeding process.

Update 2/14/2025: Here's the first pics. Thanks to Matt's Peppers for the quick delivery and the freebies included in the package. I'll be starting my grow this year with Chocolate Reapers.

Glad to see things going well, for the most part.
Nice TomTom

Thanks! A few more hooks popped up in the last 36 hours, bringing the total to 17. Looks like I'll definitely hit the goal of 24 plants this season!

Bit of a setback, it seems like my first seedling caught a case of leaf rot, and in the last 48 hours, it went from looking healthy to having all the leaves wilting. I saw the characteristic dark spots on all the leaves.

Should I try and save the seedling, or get rid of it and replace it with another one on the line, as all the others appear completely unaffected

Also, since I was gone for a long weekend for my birthday, a couple of the hooks & sprouts got affected, so I have 16 plants if I include the one with leaf rot

You might try misting & watering with: https://www.amazon.com/Southern-Ag-...prefix=revitilize+biofungicide,aps,154&sr=8-1

...and separate the currently ill from the healthy, if possible.

Thanks! Ordering it now. Should get it tomorrow. Also bought a misting spray bottle for the biofungicide to spray on all my plants

...and separate the currently ill from the healthy, if possible.

I'll do so this afternoon!

Drat, lost a few of the seedlings due to the thunderstorm that passed through, but a few are still standing. Thankfully, I've got some more seeds I can soak and try to germinate to fill out my patio. Hopefully this won't be too much of a setback

 

[SadisticPeppers]

Soaking some more seeds, and doing the tray in the morning to get some more plants ready to replace the ones I lost in the thunderstorm yesterday afternoon, as well as get enough to fill out my balcony

Storms coming in from the shore or still the time of the year it's coming from the glades?

 

[SadisticPeppers]

From the Glades. Hurricane season doesn't start until June, but it's rare for us to get one right at the start of the season. It's the nigh-daily summer thunderstorms from the Glades during the summer months, but those aren't usually too bad.

The one that came through my area yesterday had stronger than usual winds

TexasHotPeppers, MattsPeppers, WhiteHotPeppers, The ChiliPepperInstitute, and BakerCreek are a few that come to mind. And of course SemillasLaPalma when their store isn't having staff and international shipping issues.

When I first started what i thought was a small pepper garden (and has expanded to beyond craziness) - I used Pepper Joe all the time. Talked to him all the time. Never had issues with him or his seeds. When he sold it however, that changed bigtime. I no longer buy a single thing from him... and I buy a lot. My goto's are Bohica, Baker Creek, Tyler Farms (for superhots specifically) and still use Johnny's, Reimer and Harris seeds for others.

Thanks for the info. When I expand, I'll definitely use the ones you suggested

Also, I just finished two trays this morning (a 36-pod tray and a 72-pod as well) and limited each pod to one seed. Got both of them on heating pads since I'm keeping them indoors for now.

 

[SadisticPeppers]

Here's the seed trays I started yesterday. As I mentioned yesterday, I only put one seed in each pod since I hate having to decide which sprout to get rid of if multiple sprouts emerge from the same pod
