I got a late start this year, but I have a game plan. Built an indoor grow area, then when they get big enough, I'm going to move them out to self watering totes. Self watering totes seem to produce the best for me last year.   Here are some pics of the ebb and flow table I built. Only saved...

Its 56 degrees outside, but nice and toasty in the greenhouse. I was able to pick just over a pound of peppers today...and they are still growing. (I took the pics after I picked all the ripe ones off.) Since November I have just been watering them about once a week with Masteblend Pepper...

Its been almost a month since these pods sprouted and they are still green. Anyone know how long it should take?        

So I decided to try and build a hydro seed tote, just to see if it works. I took two 27 gallon storage totes from THD, used one to hold the seeds and the other as a reservoir. I cut holes in the squares on the lid of the seed tote with a 2 inch hole saw to make 23 holes. Then I filled them with...

Did some pruning in the green house, then snap a few candid shots of my pods after a shower.                  

Ok, I just thought I would try this to see how it worked.  I took the idea of Pepper_Rancher from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3TmEFZIq3s and combined it with some ideas from this one https://youtu.be/wGF72sOwgJI .   Started out with a 30 gallon tote and added about 9 feet of...

Hey Coconut coir is priced at $10.84 for an 11 lbs brick, which mixed with 2 - 5 gallon buckets of water gives you about 13-17 gallons of grow medium. I bought some to store for next year, I always stock up on a few bricks when the price drops. Its usually $14-18 for an 11 lbs brick.  ...

Ok I finally got my peppers in and the drip system set up in the greenhouse.    Peppers and tomato plant are all in 5 gallon root pouches. 40% Coir - 30% Compost - 30% Perlite/ Vermiculite...w/ Azomite mixed in. I also put a little tomato-tone in the plant hole when I transferred them from Solo...

I'm starting a few weeks late this year, but I have the greenhouse in the backyard ready to go. Plus I cut down my number of plants this year so I could manage them better.    Grow list for this year.    Bhut Jolokia Peach Brown Moruga 7 Pod White 7 Pot...

Ok last year I got side tracked and my green house took longer to finish than I thought it would. Plus the only seeds I grew that had enough time to do anything , ended up being some bad Ebay seed. Now I got some good seeds from Pepperlovers.com, my greenhouse is built and I will start my indoor...

ok what are these? don't seem to have any heat.  

OK I have about 60 plants in Solo cups and they are running out of room. I want to eventually put them in 5 gallon buckets. Do I go straight to the 5 gallon buckets or should I move to 1 or 3 gallon pots first? Or just put them in the 5 gallon buckets and not fill all the way to the top? Please...

Made a worm tea bucket with some PVC pipe...I think it came out pretty nice. Lots of aeration...we will see how the first batch turns out.   Drilled a few holes in the pvc pipe   Really good air flow.   Molasses in the water and a few cups of EWC in the painter sock.     Had to run some...

Almost done with my hoop-house greenhouse, I still need to finish the ends (waiting on my exhaust fan and vents to get here). Going to try to grow peppers and tomatoes in bottom wicking self watering beds. Each bed will have a float hooked up to a water line so the water always stays at a...
