This will be my first grow list/grow log, so hopefully everybody enjoys. This November will be my first complete year of growing experience and it was entertaining and stressing at the same time. This season hopefully I can implement everything I have learned through various threads and have a great 2012 season

Everything looks great, Fernando. Nice pic of the sanctuary. You did a
nice job building that. Glad to hear you like the root pouches. I am
liking mine. They don't get as hot as the nursery pots in the sun, at
least to the touch, and I'm not sure they dry out faster. I give a seven
gallon pot 2 or 3 quarts of water and that lasts from one or two days
(in 100F heat) to 4 or 5 days in moderate temps and longer in cool
temps (low 70's).

have a good weekend my friend. Oh yeah, the Costeno Amarillo is
putting out lots of pods. the Peach Hab is growing nicely, and the
Giant Jal is finally starting to put out some growth!

edit: Good luck in school this year! Avoid burnout!
 
Thanks Paul
Yeah the root pouch have been amazing 10 gallon or higher will be the only ones I use for next season the 5 gallons will be used for strawberries and herbs. I time my drip system 10 mins equal 2 cups of water which is what they get every other day it seems to waste less water and gives the plants what they need without overwatering. That is great news about the costeno amarillo and your garden is doing amazing my friend. I am glad and ready to finish the burning out is normally caused by me over doing my work, but the plants have help in moments when I get tired just take a 10 min check up of the plants and pods I return to normal state of mind. Dude your killing those pods I couldn't do one everyday, so I made a powder out of the left over pods.
Have a great weekend as well
 
Garden is looking sweet Fernando! Keep hitting the books so you don't end up like me ;)

How are those mystery seeds I sent ya doing?

Have a great weekend !
 
Thanks Brent I currently have my Associates degree in psychology and about to get my bachelor's degree in Business with specialization in finance and international business.

Thanks Jamie you have a great life an awesome family and peppers what else can a person ask for. One of the plants is kicking off I had to transplant it into a one gallon and the other for some reason has stalled out I hope it starts to take off soon, but it okay because it just means one plant is getting a 25 gallon all to itself.

Thanks again for stopping by
Have a great weekend everybody

Wow dude, a 6 foot pepper plant, now that is pretty amazing. I bet you are loving the color, once it starts, it is almost unstoppable. You are going to find yourself spending even more time out there making sure you didn't miss one ripe one!
 
Man those plants are rockin. It has to be the California Sun. The plants are huge. "Elephant" size leaves.
Good luck with the new lingo.......and the rest of your grow..
