So here is a freebie I got in my last order from herbies I bealive it was fem. paradise nubula ? But any ways it is a 5gal bucket and is about 2 1/2 weeks old in this pic. I am going to grow her organic and currently have top dressed in with silkworm frass. temps this week are mid 90s to low 100s so like EVERY summer this will be a challenge lol

DAY 27

Still been fighting the heat wave temps been in the lower 100's all week but all in all I think the plant is doing alright. I topped her at the 4th node and can already see the newly formed tops. She is looking just as good as the chili plant which are designed for hot climate growing

Looks like a very successful topping. I have the same browning on the tip of a leaf or two. Any idea what causes it? What soil are you using?

Day 70

So i have been using my own blend of organic liquid fertilizer brew and it seems to have done wonders, initially I was not trying to use the brew on this plant so I could compare with another plant i have been using the brew on since seedling to compare growth nd strength but the yellowing was getting so I had to break down and use the brew
