What's better for peppers/veggies -- black shade cloth or white?    http://www.greenhousemegastore.com/product/40-percent-black-shade-cloth/shade-cloth http://www.greenhousemegastore.com/product/40-percent-white-shade-cloth/shade-cloth   Website says the white shade cloth keeps temps cooler...

  What was the source of your white fatalii seeds?   I'm growing about 50 plants and 2 of them are white fatalii using seeds from buckeye pepper.  The 2 white fataliis exhibit the same upward leaf curl as yours and they're in the same soil/environment and feeding/watering schedule as the other...

  While moving your tomato from hydro to soil could be done, if it were me personally at this point I'd start over in soil either from a cutting or seed.  That plant is in rough shape as it is -- moving it to soil is only going to stress it more.  

I'll agree with that. Chiltepin, you are doing DWC outside using miracle grow soil nutes. I'll repeat others and say if you're outside you're better off in soil. Good soil is easy to get in your area, isn't that a bag of fox farm I see in your pics? If you're stuck on using DWC, get...

  Actually outside you have to worry about the water getting too HOT.  I think you may have it backwards as I think you want to keep it UNDER 70 (mid 60s ideal)... If I recall, above something like 72 you start getting less oxygen in the water and also more chance for nasties to grow in the...

Get some nutrients made for hydro. Most come with instructions for a light, medium, or heavy feeding. Start light, work your way to medium. Also I see you're doing this outside... Do you know your water temp high/low?

What steps do you take to keep your indoor growing area so pest free?  

It has snowed here the past two mothers days. Memorial day weekend is my plant out weekend.

About 6.5 for soil and about 6.0 for hydro

I get about 50 ppm here in Colorado which I guess is pretty darn clean compared to most places. Our water mostly comes from local glaciers.

    19 cubic yards is a lot of soil  and is going to cost you especially if you go for the top of the line quality.  Around here (Northern Colorado) I've seen soil range anywhere from $20/cu.yd to $100+/cu.yd  depending on what's in it.  Even plain old filler dirt can be 10-15$ / cubic yard.  ...

Pepper Guru,   Just curious, what kind of plant spacing do you use for your pepper plants in ground:   -Spacing between plants within a row?   -Spacing between rows where you don't plan to be walking? -Spacing between rows where you need a walking path?   I was thinking of spacing plants within...

90 points and 22 yrds. Thanks for the contest!

I'd like to take some! Thanks for the offer!   I tried PM'ing you but got this error: The member EvanWilliams1988 cannot receive any new messages   Can you message me your address?

Great looking plants!   What size is your tent and what kind of lights are you using?   Is this in your basement / house? If so, are you venting the exhaust on the tent to outside?   I'll be following along...  Looking forward to seeing pods and buds!
