    Padron - Western Washington Plateau.

    Hope yours are growing good too Dawg! So this is 1 1/2 days outside, full sun for about 5hrs. They are now creeping into the shade pocket. They currently are getting morning sun at around 8am and then into the shade 1pm until the next day. They also got about a cup of Foxfarm 3way each they day...

    Padron - Western Washington Plateau.

    Well it seems the wet cold is staring to go away. FAST! Been playing with the Padrons, and at least have a draw. They are growing good and the weather is going to go from cold windy wet to no breeze, double the temp, sunlight in your face. Funny thing a few weeks can do.. I took them out into...

    pests Getting rid of fire ants

    I dont want to be the bummer. You will probably need to bring in heavy insecticides for this problem if its true fire ants. You already know that the different methods only move them to a different area. You need to find the hive and nuke it. Im sorry I cant tell you how to do that.

    harvesting What pepper are you most excited about this season?

    For me, its Padrons obviously. Being said I have some banana peppers starting so looking forward to them as well. Grocery, Hatch peppers. We get them in for a few weeks in this area and I look forward to having them on hand!

    cooking Italian stuffed pepper casserole

    I would love to have that for breakfast twice a week. Looks Yummy! Using chicken is a good idea since it readily absorbs other flavors without being intrusive as pork or beef might have..

    Padron - Western Washington Plateau.

    After posting some concerns, and getting advice from a few other boards, the consensus is let it ride. Root damage, Wet soil and Lighting. Recent transplant. Im going let the soil dry out over the next few weeks and then hopefully the weather will allow me to put them outside full time. No one...

    issue Root damage, Wet soil and Lighting. Recent transplant.

    Ok, I think I hit a snag or two.. This will just be one plant as they are all showing the same symptoms(?) When I transplanted a week ago, I tore some roots that were bound around the bottom of the pots they were in. They still had a decent cluster, but I lost some of the longer ones. This how...

    indoor Grow tent Habanero dropping flowers, curling leaves

    Raise your light about 12 to 24 inches and see if it helps.. In your case you can see all that large lush growth middle down. Then you see new growth that is withered and curled. Also, there are flower pods growing. Novice here. But from what Ive read, there has been a drastic increase in light...

    cooking Steak in the Oven/Stove. Thick Cuts.

    Everyone should have a favorite butcher! The meat is usually cheaper in price and better in quality, and offer more choices in types! Plus ground beef is from your known source. Just to throw it out there, do you know T Bones are two different cuts of meat? Strip (New York) and tenderloin. Your...

    300gal Water Trough - Soil? Zone 8

    Lol, I exaggerated the height. Its about 2.5 feet tall. I did get permission from the owner to take it though. Reason Im interested is I can keep control of the soil. Also, I rent my house so it would be semi portable if I move. Biggest down side is the limited growth season in the area.

    Padron - Western Washington Plateau.

    Too close! New light is too intense. I thought maybe I wasnt getting enough ventilation because of the leaf curl, but its the new grow light. I pulled it off and put my other lights back up. They arent really strong enough at this distance but will have to do until I get home from work and can...

    pests New growth not looking good

    Not the airflow, but it cant hurt for later. The leaves would be curling up on the edges and the bottom of the leaves would have a texture like sugar on butter. If you can see them, or your taller plants shake in the winds regularly then you probably good. Im thinking too much light intensity...

    300gal Water Trough - Soil? Zone 8

    They grow cow corn in a pasture across the street. Tilled, fertilized soil every year around this time. I wonder how many trips with a wheel barrel :twisted:

    pests New growth not looking good

    How is the air flow? Maybe add a small fan a few times a day... Might want to try figuring out the light height by PPFD and light per day to get good height on them. Just google PPFD for hot peppers and it should give you a few ideas on how to figure and adjust.. Light Calculators On page two...

    pests New growth not looking good

    Hi Jack. Just a guess but it seems that your plants arent getting height. You have a great canopy going there, but they should be 12 to 16 inches tall with that growth. Pull your grow light to 24inches away, or maybe even remove it for a bit. Think of pepper plants as 4 to 6 foot tall bushes...

    cooking Steak in the Oven/Stove. Thick Cuts.

    Oh you can do both dry and wet brine with various different seasonings. With the dry brine, there are some recipes that call for salt and pepper on steak. You could use an assortment of other spices. However, the reason you dont with this in this recipe is because the change of flavor of the...
