Growing healthy.

The leaves closed up at night.

I need to snip a few seedlings 😥 as the plants grow too near to each others and I don't have enough space and pots for all of them. Hopefully the remaining plants have more space and nutrient to grow healthier.

Seems to be growing well.

They enjoy the sun and doesn't wilted due to heat.

Growing strong.

First transplant.

Try giving the new transplants an hour of morning sun.

Move the newly transplanted seedlings to area which receives morning sun.

Apply fertilizer to a pot too see if it makes a difference.

Most of the plants are a little yellowish, and didn't grow as well. Trying to repot one of it too see if it makes any difference.

Move weaker plants to more shaded area.

The repoted plant 8 days ago didn't seems to differ much with the rest of the batch.

Only 2 plants in small pot did significantly well, while the rest doesn't seems very healthy. Sadly I didn't record down the difference of the soil used.

Fertilize with Organic Fertilizer / Coffee Grounds, Egg Shell, Larvie Frass, Banana Peel. Planned fertilization twice a week.

Experiment with applying home-made enzyme fertilizer.

Repot two of the bigest plant with Soil and Compost (1:1), some perlite and coco peat, with a bit of larvie frass / vermicast and egg shell.

Experiment with Soil 1 (Baba Vegimix) and Soil 2 (Baba Green Mary).

I experiment with the following fertilizer

• Organic Fertilizer (2 weeks once)
• Coffee Grounds (2 weeks once)
• Home-made Liquid Enzyme (twice a week)

Mix with some Larvie Frass / Vermicast and Egg Shell.

The pot using Organic Fertilizer finally show some major improvements after 4 weeks, where light green leaves turn lush green with new leaves growing.

Fertilize every two weeks: organic fertilizer, larvie frass / vermicast, egg shell.

The pot with organic fertilizer is growing well.

This is the most healthy plant at the moment, recovering after applying fertilizer.

Last few of the capsicum plant which is still growing well enough.

The last capsicum plant. It is not in optimum health, and might flower soon.

Found some leave miners, probably being attacked as the plant is weak.

The flowering doesn't goes well.

Not healthy.

Some flower, but the plant is pretty old and weak.
