Sorry guys I over fertilized all the peppers one day last week and they all died =( maybe I'll try again sometime

Time for an update. Some peppers got culled due to being weak or not growing fast enough plus I needed room. Here is whats left. Pepperoncini Purple Sweet Pepper Hungarian Hot Wax Pepper Banana Pepper Mini Bell Pepper Overview

I will cut them back after they produce fruit

Thank you! It has mostly turned a beautiful shade of yellow.

First up is not a pepper it actually my Candy Corn Spirea. I'm growing it indoors until may when it can go outside to grow into a beautiful flowering bush. Next is a side view of the Pepperoncini pepper with quite a thick main trunk already Next is the sweet purple pepper I forgot it's...

Here's an update to the peppers. Some of the weaker plants were culled. Only the strongest remain. Sorry for the quality. As you can see the peppers are starting to flower. Shown below is Hungarian Hot Wax The 3 bigger ones are flowering now and the smaller ones are still putting on new growth.

Today is the day to chop the top off of Pepperoncini and Wax peppers. Others are still to small for any pruning.

I know this isn't a pepper but I had to try growing it. Below is Spirea Candy Corn. If it survives until spring it will most likely be planted in the apartment shared garden. Almost no one plants anything in the garden besides me planting peppers each summer.

It has now been 10 days since the last pictures and as of today all of the peppers have sprouted. As a side note I've also planted some heirloom Marigold "Tagets" from seed saved 3 or 4 years ago stored in the freezer. Hopefully to see if it can be bonsai as well. On to the pictures The big...

Thanks for the great advise. Medusa and Mini Bell are smaller peppers. But I do see your point smaller peppers would be more desirable. However the various varieties were picked because they are almost all good for eating. I don't personally like eating peppers but know many people who do and...

It has now been 8 days and the peppers are sprouting/growing. I've decided to grow 1 of each type of pepper to find out which will be best or if all do well. The peppers are as follows Sweet Banana, Hugarian Hot Wax, Mini Bell, Pepperoncini, Medusa, Big Jim, and Murasaki. For now I'll just show...

Lately I've been reading about Bonchi (Bonsai Peppers/Chilli) wondering if I could grow them indoors under artificial light. After much research it is advisable to grow the plant to full size outdoors then cut down and bring indoors. Much like bonsai are field grown, they are grown to size...

I threw it away because it had yellow flowers and was some type of weed rather than a tree. However, I did rescue a maple seedling from the weedwacker today. It wont stay inside under lights but rather go outside after a little recovery.

Thanks so much for the reply. It looks like the flowers will open any day now. I'll try to find that app on the android store. Edit: Found the app

I found this plant growing in a crack in the sidewalk which was getting weedwacked. So I decided to save it. The only thing is I don't know what it is. Kinda looks like rosemary but I don't think it is. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I have MaxiGro and MaxiBloom because it was cheap on ebay. I'm wondering if my Chinese Elm should get a lower dosage than recommended (1-2 tsp per galllon) I'm thinking I should fertilize with MaxiGro 1/2 tsp per gallon once every two weeks. Does this sound right? Any advice is appreciated.

The floor to my room is carpet so they need to be in the tent because it has a waterproof floor liner. Plus the walls are reflective mylar type material.

What are you doing about heat build up? I keep fans on 24/7 in the growing area. One fan exhausts heat to the outside. I leave the doors to the grow tent open. It doesn't get to hot unless I close the door to the room which I don't do.

Here are my bonsai's Chinese Elm Variegated Serissa Boxwood New Pepper Bonsai (Unknown variety maybe Jimmy Nardello) Hope you enjoy them

I bought some 6'' plastic bonsai pots for my plants. Still no bonsai specific soil... The roots on the chinese elm were crazy filling almost the entire pot it was growing in. (7x7x8'') The others will be transplanted in a few days when the soil drys out more. Over all I think the plants are...

For anyone who thinks this absolutely will not work I recommend you read Jack Wikle's pdf here http://www.fourseasonsbonsai.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/JackWilke_lighting.pdf on growing bonsai under florescence. Ovbiously I've stated the Japanese maple may not live without a vacation in the...

Unfortunately I can not overwinter outdoors because I live in a apartment building with no garden space.

Hello everyone I hope you are having a good day. Today I would like to share my starter plants ordered from ebay. The plants are growing under a 400 watt Metal Halide grow light. Plenty of light to share. I also am growing peppers indoors in case you were wondering what those plants in the back...

Ever since planting a few mulberry trees 3 years ago I've been utterly fascinated with the growth characteristics of this wonderful tree. Leaf shape is good, reduces drastically, fruits easily (cultivar dependent), very winter hardy etc. Shame we don't see more mulberry projects on bnut :(...

Unfortunately no this isn't my tree. Source http://www.bonsaihunk.us/ficusforum/FicusTechniques/FigTechnique59.html
