Indeed, although this is marketed as a sweet pepper with no heat, so if fish is used as a parent theyve spliced out the heat genes Id imagine. Will have to see the finished product and give it a ruddy good review.

Following good feedback from others I got me some 45W LEDs. Performing a side by side comparison with my 200W cfl bulb to see which is best value. Control sample is pretty small to be fair, 2 demon reds and 1 tomato plant might not give me conclusive results but if the LED growth is as good as...

I absolutely love it, the only plant Ive kept into the third year. I have a white flowered phenotype which Ive seen being disputed elsewhere; some have suggested its a wild baccatum rather than a true Praetermissum. That being said Praetermissum is part of the Baccatum complex anyway so it...

Thanks for the picture hosting suggestions above. Let's try it. Picked me up a pack of these today finally, they're always sold out everywhere I go so happy to have found a pack, but only 4 seeds inside, tight gits.     This is how the grow cabinet currently looks, although since taking the...

Thats a fair point about ultra reflective materials actually, I dont want to accidentally fashion some sort of James Bond super laser inadvertently zapping holes through my cabinet. With the germination techniques I should probably clarify that my heated propagators are located indoors at the...

Great selection youve got there. I remember my lanceolatum from about 5 years ago, it stayed tiny for ages then suddenly exploded in the space of about 1 week. PS what are you using to host the pictures in your posts? Ive been using the image url function however its saying Im using forbidden...

Yeah this has been suggested to me several times now ha, its ashame that Id already punched a hole in the roof (with great difficulty). My DIY kit is highly minimal so Id have to fashion a mount out of some spare pieces of wood. I figured the reflective radiator sheets would help bounce the...

  Yeah I'm giving this some serious consideration after it was suggested elsewhere. I'm paranoid about fire risk as 200W is a lot of power really for a small wooden cupboard lined with bubblewrap. I've got a 45W LED square on the way which should pose much less of a fire risk, although I expect...

  Hey dude. I'm no longer based in Brum, now i'm Lancashire way, which is further away from the ideal growing conditions for peppers. Should have picked Devon really. Oh well.

Well gosh the weather is awful here today. Hi everyone. Been growing for a few years, this seems to be the largest pepper forum on the internet and I've been spying here at the various guides and grow logs for a long time, so much so that I'm not sure why I haven't signed up sooner. Yo.
