SP! Honest!
I'm just astounded! It was only just a thought!
But I'll tell you what! The plants have almost doubled in size and the size or thickness of their stems is just unbeilivable! And that is just a case of in several days!
I'll be certainly looking further into it!"Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad"

Veeeeeery late start here - I've just sown:
Padron
Nosferatu
Burkina Yellow (thanks Chris11! This year I will look after the plants!)
Bulgarian Carrot
Filius Blue
Purple Jalapeno
Nigel's Outdoor
Trepadeira Werner
Bartlett's Bonnet
£land Habanero - which I strongly suspect is just a jalapeno, but I liked it.
The plants will be grown on in the greenhouse, bar padrons, which do really well for me outside in flower buckets of manure/soil mix. Whichever flowers first gets to be my seed saving choice for this year!http://mudandgluts.com - growing fruit and veg in suburbia

But must admit I am well impressed! and maybe purchasing a couple more!
Yeah! not "Hi Tech" but it as served it's purpose no end! After all, these plants will be getting potted on at some stage to live their summer life in a greenhouse come tunnel.
Yeah I have 2 T5 "Maxibrights" I have sat in the wings and once I have time will set these up over my little incubator system now the plants are getting a little bigger and need a little more room once potted on!
Hey! Rome wasn't built in a day!
But so far so good!

Hi all,
While I had read about microwaving or putting boiling water on the seed starting mix and compost, I didn't do it. Now I have loads of little black flies buzzing around the house. I think they are fungus gnats. Not only are they annoying, but I just read that the larvae can damage roots, so I'm seeing red. Have you guys ever had to deal with this? What is the most effective way of getting rid of them. I've started watering/feeding from the bottom to help keep the surface dry but often the water wicks all the way to the top. I'll invest in some perlite to sprinkle on top, as I'll probably need some of that in the mix when moving them to bigger pots. What else would work? Should I buy a sundew or sarracenia? Perhaps sprinkle some cinnamon before adding the perlite? How about those yellow sticky tape fly traps? Do I need to do all these things, or am I worrying about nothing? So many questions!

Hmmm! an hard one to answer!
As I have only been growing plants indoors for the last three years have not had this problem, and if I did I did I would find both my plants and myself living in tent outdoors!
It's ok putting up "Sticky Tapes" to control the adult, and they don't actually have a long life cycle, but you need to eliminate the babies in the soil as the cycle will just continue!
Neem oil for one they recommend as well as baby soap shavings, do a little "Google" sure you will come up with an answer!"Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad"
