Yes, all 6 of them.  4 Red Lanterns and 2 Brazilian Starfish.   12 hours of 6000 Kelvin light and at least 2 to 3 hours of sunlight each day.    

Here are some images of my young Red Paper Lanterns, what does the darker color within the leaves indicate?   Are the plants deficient in a particular nutrient?          

Is now a good time to transfer?  I will be transferring to larger pots, not outside.   Can I use a Happy Frog with these young of plants or should I stay away from feeding them at this point?   They will remain indoors under lights and fans.   My main question is what type of soil can be used? ...

I have my Brazilian Starfish started in 2 foam cups with a netpot containing coco coir and seed start potting soil.   Now that the seeds have germinated:   How much light would you use in terms of time?   When do I start feeding and what's a good feeder?   How long can they stay in the existing...

I'm kind of liking the multiple day process, I'm on day 3 now.  The involvement and effort makes it a little more enjoyable....for me anyway.   Thank you all for confirming if the overnight can be kept at room temp.  This is what I was doing, but wanted to confirm this since the recipe didn't...

Is anyone familiar with this candied pepper recipe?  I'm curious about step 2., the author says to let the chiles sit in the syrup mixture for 24 hours.  Is this at room temperature or refrigerated?   Thank you,   Here is the link to the recipe - http://www.fieryfood...died-capsicums/

    Do you have another term for the crimp top beer cap?  I tried googling it, but I'm not certain what cap you're referring to.   I think I found some woozy bottles for thicker sauces and I like your idea of having the swing top available after it's been opened for the first time.   Here are...

How is the purée "cut" or thinned?  Is the cook time altered or the temp or is there an ingredient in the recipe that can be used more or less of?      

Can these bottles be used for the recipe from page 1 of this post or is this purée recipe too thick that would require a jar instead of a swing top type bottle?    

Thanks Geonerd, you are spot on about the ones in the middle not getting enough available light, it is evident that they are not in the same physical standards as the others.  I may plant on in each corner next year with one in the middle.   I will let this year run its course and decide after...

I have a self irrigated box that is 3'6" x 4'6" x 18", is 9 pepper plants too many for this space?   The peppers are looking good and staying healthy, but they are indeed flourishing quite a bit.  Just curious how to determine if I've over planted for the space given.   Thank you,  ...

    My 2 dozen egg shells that have been dehydrated and ground with a coffee grinder have been in a gallon of white vinegar in an air lock Fido jar for almost 4 weeks.   What do I do next and how is it applied to the coir bedded plants?

I located a supplier that has some nice options of various bagged mulches compared to the big box retailers.   Would you use any of these for a top dressing for raised beds and/or larger pots?   DARK HARDWOOD            2CUFT $4.00 PINE NUGGETS                 2CUFT $4.00 MINI PINE NUGGETS      ...

These are a couple 3'x4'x18" raised subirrigated beds and I'm looking for suggestions on what to use in them.  My lack of forethought on how much cubic feet this is, it will take quite a bit of Happy Frog and/or Ocean Forest to fill these and quite a bit of $$ too.   Any suggestions on a less...
