All right then on a side note here are some piccies of a few Rocket Pots. They are a side experiment that Nova and I am doing.
They seem to be doing extremely well and will be interesting to see how they turn out.
And for some root action now-
What do ya think Nova? Lookin pretty good hey! The roots seem to be browning off(air pruning), will just have to wait and see.

the plants look nice and healthy.
Cheers Candice.
Hey Nova I am watering from the top only. The plants are still pretty small and assume the roots have not got down very far yet. They are still inside under fluoro at the moment(no heating) so look pretty good. Just wait till they go outside, now that might change things!

I can't believe my plants have some chillies as well.
Got a sad old thai birdeye plant with one ripe chilli
The not naga and not scorpian plants I bought the beginning of this year are still podding as well. The nots are:
The yellow hab type plant that has a ripe chilli and is covered in pollinated baby green chillies; the red caribbean type plant one has two ripe red chillies.
All ripe pods are of course way smaller than normal summer size though.
hey scott if you can send me your address in the next half hour i'll be able to take your package to the post office today.
thats ok will go back again before the end of the week
Hi all, a WA comparison for you all. I planted in jiffy pods the start of june they popped around 4 weeks later and have been slow going ever since.
Fist picture was taken 23Jun11 after about 4 week of nothing. The one on the left was plated mid of April and took 8 weeks till a hook appeared.
The next 2 were taken today
and this was a Naga i bought from a nursery it was bushy and had some sort of burning of the leaves (i dont know what, but then again i dont know much!)
and this is what it looks like now. A bit sad looking!
Cheers Pauly

from SOR Which nursery did you buy the naga from?
Hi Pauly.
by the colouring of your plants, it looks like you may be watering them too much?????

I repotted all my plants into new containers and rinsed all their roots in a H202 solution. I made up some new soil as used by neil hippy dude of 50% coir-peat brick and 50% coles potting mix. I used some paper coffee cups, but I'm not sure how long they will last. They have insulated bubbly sides which keep the light out and heat down in the root zone. I also used some plastic cups which I cut some huge holes in the bottoms for drainage and wrapped the outsides in foil.
I hope by getting rid of all the old soil I've chucked out all the larvae of the fungus gnats. I killed tons of them with sticky paper and beer. Yes I put out little cups of beer for the shites
its just wrong but had to do something. Can't see any but I'm sure one escaped ready to spawn again. I'll be watering with H202 to discourage fungus and therefore the gnats.
I thought I was all out but down in front you can see one of the tiny seedlings is an Asian Birdseye. That's what the tag said but it doesn't even look like a chilli. I'll wait and see what happens with it.

Thanks
I bought it from Herbs'r'us in the markets at Wanneroo. I probably do. Im new at this. it always looks like the jiffy is dry so i give them a small squirt day and night too much? They get heat from the bottom. they sit next to a north west facing window that get good arvo sun when it shines through.
