Well i have been able to start enjoying my hobby again and here is a little shot of my progress, there about a week old. No fancy strains or anything like that at the moment just some bag seed for now to get my hands dirty again.

Lookin nice and healthy man!

excellent! good job and great to have you back

What kind of soil are you using? (Mix?)

 

[FullDuplex]

Thanks guys, i decided to give soil a run this time of year due to the weird temps we have been having here. The soil that they are in is a mix of my own that i have tweaked here and there. Its is actually the same mix that grew the monsters below. I know its not the bud porn were used to but wanted to show the potential of my soil and lighting. jalapeno's demand about the same amount of light our lovely friends do as well as soil ph levels...... This is what i was doing in my off time lol

Very nice peppers. Your new plants are not going to grow the same. If you have good drainage/aeration, stand back their going to take off

thanks, and i have done that with these plants. The bottom layer under the dirt is small gravel to keep access water out of the buckets and off the roots to keep them from rotting and over watering. The soil is a three part mix with natural compost, light sand and a few other things so the drainage is good and the aeration should be set as well so I've got my fingers crossed

here is a little more for you guys. The one in the cup is an experiment i am doing and is about to go to its new home soon. There was a little yellowing that happened after the transplant but all is well now as you can see that the new growth is all green as green can be. This wouldn't be the first time that i have seen this after a transplant. Especially in the cooler climate that i am in at this current time.

So with out further delay here are a few shots of em

thanks for the compliments guys. I went to check on my little friends tonight and i spotted something i wasnt to happy about. All are doing wonderful but one of them is showing what i believe is the beginning of a male flower. After you see the pics i am sure you will agree. The others show no sign of this which is good for me cause they all are the same age So here is what i found

why thank you sir, the investment of the Nikon D3000 was well worth it. Im going to watch this closely, because if i see more sacks forming its coming out. Right now its too early to tell, i could get a surprise and some hairs might pop out but as it looks now i think its gonna be a he not a she

 

[FullDuplex]

Well here are a few more shots, snapped them with the camera phone this morning so not as good quality as the last but they'll do

 

[FullDuplex]
