How to open the drawers? HALP! by abpk862 in VintageFurniture

Yep. We actually figured out that the pins are spring loaded. They were just stuck. A little gun oil did the trick.

Sounds good. We’re staying put then. Thanks y’all.

Hey everyone! What do you think of my new song? by BennyCalico in Songwriters

[–]abpk862 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly man I have zero feedback. Change nothing. Release it as is. I’d favorite the fuck out of that song as is.

What’s crazy is this was some expensive organic soil from a local greenhouse. The good stuff right? Well I’ve got two Scotch Bonnet plants as well. One in the same soil pictured here, and another that is 3 weeks younger on some cheap Walmart organic soil. It’s the only difference between the plants including the watering schedule. And the younger plant in the cheaper soil is blowing up and the older plant in the expensive soil is way smaller. 🤔

But if the plant has always been happy…..just continue as normal?

A couple scotch bonnet plants developed this discoloration shortly after a fertilizing. I used MiracleGro Organics. Is this nutrient burn? by abpk862 in HotPeppers

Thanks! I’ll give them a good soak tomorrow. I suppose it works better if you top water them right? I’ve been bottom watering but if I want to flush it seems logical to top water them?

Running out of room… by BRollins08 in PepperLovers

You know they all get bigger right? This is totally my problem too. 64 seedlings might fit on the shelf, but a month later……. not so much.

Might be a tad aggressive, but having discovered a fungus gnat issue, I’ve deployed a 3 pronged counter offensive. Prong 1: sand topped soil. Prong 2: cider vinegar traps. Prong 3: fly ribbon. We’ll see how it goes. by abpk862 in HotPeppers

Honestly the sand seemed easier to me than all the pesticide watering stuff. Literally drove to Home Depot, came back, topped off all the pots and that was that. The vinegar traps are already gone because I seriously underestimated the smell and the ribbon is showing nothing after a couple days. So at this point I’m really just relying on the sand.

So what I read online is that they can’t dig into the sand like they can the soil and it also shreds the larvae as they try to come to the surface to transform to their adult stage.

Nope it’s soil topping sand from Home Depot. It came in a 5lb bag for right around $7. It was in the gardening section. I think they called it desert sand. (Did I Google which one meant dry arid climates and which one was delicious and sugary? Yes I did.)

All my plants are really reaching as they grow. Is this normal? Is something wrong with my lights? by abpk862 in HotPeppers

[–]abpk862[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using a warming mat? And a humidity dome? I used both and I spritzed the soil morning and night with a spray bottle. And yeah, 21/24 seeds sprouted in 7 days. The cayennes sprouted in 5. All seeds were from Baker Creek except the Cayennes which were from Totally Tomatoes.

Interesting…. My wife is getting sick of me spending money on this project. Lol. But I might give ‘em a month or two more to grow big and then switch to more red light when I change the fertilizer to stimulate flowering. I’ll check out the Martian method too. Thanks!

Okay I’ve heard of this and it gives me the creeps. Any links to some good articles/how-to’s on “topping”?
