another question?/Indoor grow update 17-07-2009 Update!!

[lee]

Must say, I've put my plants in high quality potting soil.
Plagon Growmix.

[lee]

My Trimmed "Naga" is producing some buds

[lee]

Ok peppers are done (well most of them), will be my fourth and last harvest this indoor season:).

[lee]

I will turn that "naga" into a bonchi .  http://www.fatalii.net/growing/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=95&Itemid=105

[lee]

The "Naga" is flowering again.

[lee]

Red Savina Habanero. Harvested 25 peppers and have cut it down a bit.

Washed out the roots and put it on a 4 gallon container. I hope this will make a great Bonchi at the end of this season

[Fatalii]

IT SURELY WILL!

If you want to minimize the stree till end of the season, keep pinching off the small roots every once in a while, so you don't have to do that once!

And just dig it up a lot, you know, raise it above the soil so many roots will be "too high", and then cut the bad ones off... hard to explain without pics, I need to update bonchi article more even though I'm sure you got it!

[lee]

Thx for the tips. I think I have to cut the roots like you did in the article with that big scissor. I haven't cut the roots at all. I washed out the root ball to remove as much soil as possible and that planted it back in a large container with fresh soil. I hoped that it will grow a thicker stem that way but I'm not sure it will.
Would you suggest to cut down the roots like shown on pic



A Bonchi update would be great!!

Hi  lee,

you're doing a good job!

Can you tell me where you've bought your reflectors for the PL Tubes? What power do they have?
I've found a few internet shops selling PL tubes with 4000K but none with 2100K (the lowest light temperature was 3000K).

Guess you where on capsaholics too?

Oh, yes, I had a look an map24 an there are 105km from where I live in Köln to Uterweg 123 in Heerlen.
I always drive by Heerlen on the way to Brussels or Maastricht but I've never visit the town yet.
Anyway, the shop send the ordered goods by TNT (not DHL) and TNT wants 22 euro, ( ) even if it's a small parcel, so I think I'll visit the shop my self; I will not give them 22 euro for transportation on 100 km!

Right, the laps are fantastic, judging by the results you show on your pictures!!!

And no, I haven't been by capsaholics, I'm only registered by www.hot-pain.de. Until now I've never thought about growing using lamps but since I've seen the bochis of Fatalii I want them too.

There's something mystical about Bonchis... it's not just how they look, but the chile plants will have so much more value as bonchis...
Wild chiles as bonchis,  just priceless!

Usually I don't care if some chile plant dies for any reason,  but a death of a Bonchi almost yells for setting up funerals... (I'm not 100% serious, or am I?)..

Any "common" chile plant as a Bonchi has a great value... especially when you have grown it from a seed...
Still need to learn how to  make bonsai pots, that would be great!

Not at all J.. I cry like a baby when I damage the plants by mistake. Serious!

I'm sad too, when every plant dies , because I only have 20 of them. I grow them on my desk!
---------------------
Lee, I plan to drive tomorrow to Heerlen and buy the lamp. I'll call tomorrow the shop to see if they are not closed.
I'd like to buy Bio-Bizz too, but they haven't this trade mark. Is there any other shop in Heerlen where I can buy the stuff? I need the three types: grow, bloom and TopMax.
Where have you got them?

Alexander
