    hotjohn's rookie indoor grow!

    Should I be thumbnailing these images?  At this point it's a pretty big load haha.   Anyway, a quick update pic.   Based on the growth, I get the sense my distribution from the reservoir tank isn't exactly even.  :)       Have done one round of the FloraGrow system... (Micro + Grow)... used...

    hotjohn's rookie indoor grow!

    So another update here.   All four plants now have their taproots down into the water, so I've been able to stop the regular top watering I was doing.      Still have a slight kink in one of the hoses coming out of my resevoir, and I feel like that might be whats causing the back plants to lag...

    hotjohn's rookie indoor grow!

    The one plant that was first to get a tap root down into the nutrients is doing the best...  second one just got there and has immediately started catching up!   The back two are still runty... and are requiring manual watering a couple times a day.  Hopefully they grow down soon.      I think...

    A general discussion about species, but focusing on eximium and cardenasii

      Would love to get in on the group, if anything just to check out some pictures!   I'm very interested in the road less traveled so to speak... genera other than what I'm calling the big five (annuum, baccatum, chinense, frutescens, pubescens).   Why is it some genus are considered...

    hotjohn's rookie indoor grow!

    Been a few weeks.   In that time, I've started to throw iced bottles of water into my resevoir tank... I switch them out three times a day.   Ambient temperature in my place has been hovering around 80F, with 50-70% humidity.  Pretty nuts for inside... so definitely struggling to keep the water...

    Seed?

    One piece of advice, don't order them from Amazon lol.   I didn't learn that until after all my nice super hots turned out to be thai chilis...   :party:   As others have said, great sellers on the site here in the appropriate forum!

      Thanks.  I couldn't decipher the COB... though with an electrical background you think I might have clued in!

    Are the tubes there simply as support for the plant?  Or do they play some role in the Kratky setup?   Liked your video!  Subscribed.

    lighting Thoughts and opinions on LED grow lights

    What are these CREE COBs you guys keep talking about?  I get Cree is the brand name of a led light manufacturer... but what does COB refer too?      Working on my first indoor grow now with a 4 tube Agrobrite T5.   4 plants under it.  Was already thinking I might need to supplement that light...

    Putting Nutrition and Taste into our Peppers

    I'm fairly new around these parts, but this post does kind of scream of 'advertisement'.   The only thing being fed here is the trolls.   :party:
