   Good deal. My wife is from Birmingham, that is why I asked. 

Welcome from Florida! Where in Michigan?

  I actually had some laying around and decided to give it a try last week. It does seem to be helping, so I can anecdotally add my support to it working now. 

  I don't have a picture, but I checked for mites and it didn't have the heavy curling like I have seen in images. Plus I have decided to use some Calcium Nitrate i had to see how it responded, and it seems to be doing the trick.

Thanks austin87! I know there are several calcium products. I've heard people enough say that foliar spraying does't do anything to make it worth asking the question. Have you used it successfully, more specifically if there was a deficiency?

I have a couple ghosts that are showing calcium deficiency. i have heard both sides of spraying calcium directly on the leaves both working and doing nothing, so I thought I would ask for the experiences of the growers here. has it worked for you, and do you have any advice on how to do it if it...

Thanks for all the details. I will definitely keep that in mind for reference when I upgrade/expand. I just went the K.I.S.S. route for now and got a 5k LED flood light on a timer. Since it is such a small area right now with so few sprouts, I figure that should do the trick. 

Okay ,that is good to know.  That will work for a short term solution. I will eventually upgrade to a larger/better system, but I am trying to keep it gradual against my own nature. Thank you for all the assistance.  

Quantum boards would be amazing, but they are out of my price range right now. Otherwise I will be growing them in my car when my wife throws me out. That looks to be a good idea for a future investment though, so thank you.

Thanks. I read your sticky in the Growing section and it is amazing! I love to read a lot about things, but I started the seeds before realizing that this is something that is needed for a good strong plant. Now i am going down the LED rabbit hole and frying my brain. For such a small area (1' x...

I am new to growing and have just gotten my second round of sprouts and want to do a much better job with them so they aren't frail or leggy. One thing I am still unsure of is getting them some light love.  I am looking for an LED solution for a small growing area (15 side by side solo cups at...

Thank you for the hot welcome. 

Thanks. I am have been into super hots for a long time, and am really enjoying growing them. 

  Good morning all! I'm a new grower from Lake Worth, Florida. I have some Sweet Bananas, Jalapenos, Bih Jolokia Orange, and Bhut Jolokias fruiting now. I also have Serranos, Aji Marchant, Vampire and Puya that I just hardened off and planted. Learned a lot of hard lessons from the last round...
