My plants are out in the tunnel already. Got a heater on at night so frost shouldn't be a problem. Plus the light hours will be increasing a fair bit over the next few weeks.

Shit news man but hope they do good this year! I should starting popping mine soon.

Cheers Weed still got a good few seeds, i want to have about 20 plants on the go out of 14 white widow only 5 popped through.........Tom

how are you germing them are you using the wet tissue method?

straight in the compost ive never tried the paper towel..........Tom

dude use the wet towel method trust me its 90% proof thats where i think your going wrong mate. do you soak them in a glass of water atleast before planting?

Nope. I will try it thanks Weed...........Tom

I'm just about to order my seeds for my beautiful little greenhouse which will be half tomatoes, half green. I was planning on "Big Bang", germinating into 8cm peat pots, transplanting to grow-bags and just using normal tomato feed. Any guidance/suggestions gratefully received

treat em like toms theyl be great

hang some little red plastic toms on them for extra stelth .........Tom

they are a pair of crackers Pete................Tom

WHAT SIZE pots do i need to Finnish off, the ones i used last time was a bit SMALL I going to order them today Thanks .............Tom

ive tried looking in the data base ,cant see anything on pot sizes any where....................Thanks......Tom

I would say bucket size or bigger

Thanks any idea how many lieters would that be?......Tom

Im not too sure mate maybe 25. Im gonna go for massive pots this year probably 100L.

bigger the better it is then cheers ..................TOM

I am guessing so as if they are planted in the ground they have almost unlimited room to spread and the plants usually end up huge. Theres a garden centre that sells some fe<king massive pots round my way

THeres a place by me that sell massive pots fancy looking ones for about 3 quid............TOM

Why would you want a 100l plant pot?
They tend to be ablut 54 cm tall,which is nearly 2 feet add the height of your plant maybe 6 feet tall in such a big pot.
Another thing is the bigger the pot the harder it is to move it around.
So unless your greenhouse is 8 feet high,they will be too tall.
I have only ever grown in 4 litre pots,and the plants tend to be around 4/5 foot in height

thanks suffolk your advice is much appreciated, my green house is 6ft tall in the centre and about 5ft around the sides ,all advice the better......Tom

Hey Tom,

Nice image m8.

Dr

Thanks Doc..............Tom

hi tom,

dont know how i missed ya diary mate

all looking good so far mate, shame about the bean cracking success
i would try another method mate as said previous.

when i used seeds i germinated em in root riots but i know alot of peeps that use
the paper towel routine with great results.

good luck tom.

tcc

Thanks crystal,i got 9 more plants on the go,i soaked theres ones first,if they dont pop up i will try the paper towel method my babies are doing well.............Tom

ive always found rootriot cubes to be very effective. Ive used them on all kinds of plants over the last few years and ive only had 2 beans not sprout. but as always it a horses for courses kinda thing

ive never had a problem just poping them in compost but this year not good,the seeds were cheap ,Thanks for the advice...........Tom

Click to view attachment i like growing cacti in my other green house great flowers on these.............Tom

Cool I used to collect these as a kid, had a few, I recall the tall thin one (third down from the top right) and second in from the bottom right - had little hooks i think... but my question - what's this one?

Also have you ever tried growing Kanna (Sceletium Tortuosum), I understand it to be very difficult to find as they rarely seed
