Pls help o, my pepper nursery aren't doing well, they're two weeks old today and it's as if theyve stopped germinating, they're exactly thesame the past time I checked them, which was early this week, (monday) to be precise The leaves are facing down, and they're looking very week,

At this stage, I'm more than willing to toss them away, but before I do, I'd like to know what happened to the nursery.. |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by FMCASH(m): 12:29pm On Nov 23, 2019 |
Psalm4kute:Things plant needs: Light (sunlight) Optimum ventilation Moist planting medium Optimum temperature too Appropriate nutrient too Bro, nursery management its a 5 unit course on its own alone. |

Sunlight Growing medium I suspect sunlight, that's why they are growing spindly. |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by Nobody: 3:39pm On Nov 23, 2019 |
tpben:Too much sunlight?? Or too little?? |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by DeLaRue: 3:40pm On Nov 23, 2019 |
Psalm4kute: Certainly not the light part. I'm looking at your latest pictures and the place is still dark ![]() I note also that your planting material always seem to be wet. Allow the material to dry up from time to time before adding water. Peppers don't like their oots permanently wet. |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by DeLaRue: 3:46pm On Nov 23, 2019 |
Looking at it more closely, it seems your planting material is cocopeat? If yes, then you need to be even more careful about watering these seedlings because cocopeat hold on to water much longer than most types of sand. So, water only after the surface has gone patently dry. Once you move them to a location with better light, and they stabilize after a day or two, you should consider fertilizing them with a solution of 1 tablespoon of urea to 4 litres of water every week for the next 2 to 3 weeks. That should invigorate them. If it doesn't, then it could be that the seeds lost their vigour long before you planted them. 1 Like |

Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by okoroemeka(m): 8:24pm On Nov 23, 2019 |
Psalm4kute:pls how do you remove seedling from nursery tray,does it have openings under that the root ball can pop out,or will it be scooped out physical with something like spoon,I am just looking at that seed traye,seems to me it will cause more transplant shock tl |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by Nobody: 9:32pm On Nov 23, 2019 |
okoroemeka: Seedlings tray is the most convenient way for transplanting your seedlings, and you can easily calculate the germination rate.. all you have to do is pull the plant by the base stem when the plant is atleast 4 weeks old to get it out of the tray And theres also an opening beneath the tray which allows you to push the plant upward with a stick 2 Likes 1 Share |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by okoroemeka(m): 11:07pm On Nov 23, 2019 |
Psalm4kute:hmm,so if you pull it,it will pop out easily from the tray,how much did you get the tray and how many cells it contains? |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by Nobody: 11:21pm On Nov 23, 2019 |
okoroemeka:each seedling tray @ 550 naira and 128 cells each.. if you cant get seedling tray, use disposable plastic cups .. but make sure to create several opening beneath the cup |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by okoroemeka(m): 11:33pm On Nov 23, 2019 |
Psalm4kute:can you buy and waybill to me,we are gearing up for our pepper project,let us try 15 trays to see how it will go |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by Nobody: 12:04am On Nov 24, 2019 |
okoroemeka:I can buy it for you o, but waybilling is the problem, I've never done waybilling before and I'll have to find motoparks that are going to the east from abeokuta, it would've been easier If I was in lagos |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by orpeeh: 4:25am On Nov 24, 2019 |
okoroemeka:since palm4cute can't waybill, why don't you try agritropic(technisem) representative in Ibadan I think they have such product and can easily waybill to you 1 Like |

If you're not careful you will lost this nursery again. I've lost 50grams of Etna, 10gram of padma, 5gram of loleza etc to nursery mismanagement and I'm still learning. I almost lost 10grams of espartano yellow sweet pepper to dry manure applications. Lot of experience in nursery management. Insight: put another shade net on top of that nursery because we are in dry season and intense heat will destroy your nursery in that nursery crate. I had 20 nursery crate abandon. Protected Raised bed nursery its okay by me, thanks. Psalm4kute: 1 Like |

Psalm4kute: When you bought this nursery crate then if I told you not to use it, it will seems I don't know what I'm saying |

okoroemeka:hope you're ready to build a mini net house or green house |
