If you take your Jalapenos from an indoor grow light and force them into "full sunlight", they can be damaged from "sunburn".  The sun can be  much more intense than indoor grow lights so you should follow a "hardening off" procedure. Plus, the change in temperature/humidity from the grow room...

Put more light on the leggy plants.  Wind doesn't make a plant leggy unless the wind is strong enough to blow away the light  :P .   You can't prune those seedlings.  There is nothing to prune.  Maybe I misinterpreted what you meant.   You can bury the stems after a transplant but from what I...

clueless,  I use GH CalMag.  I suppose you could use Epsom Salt for magnesium, but you'd still need to supplement calcium somehow.  Just makes more senses to me to use CalMag and have it done in one shot.   I've used cheepo pH meters and they have worked out just fine. I've ruined a couple of...

Clueless....  I'll take a stab at this one.   First off... you'll need a pH meter and a TDS (total dissolved solids) meter.  Can't really control the grow without these tools.   Next.... the light may or may not be enough. No way to tell unless you specify the exact light that you are using. The...

    Some truth here. Yes, there are a whole bunch of under educated people in the world.  I would say that the lack of education is NOT the fault of the people though.  Not everyone is born with the ability to learn chemistry. Even those that are born with the brain for understanding, there are...

Not sure that anyone is paying attention to this grow any more, but I'll add an update never the less.   The 2.5 x 2.5 tent is just too damn small for a 315W light. The temperature inside the tent was constantly pegging the 90degF mark.  So, I decided to take the same idea I had been using with...

Just my 2 cents.  I do hydro, but this information should apply to soil as well.  I suffered severely from flower drop... and I mean like not one of the hundreds of flower I had on a Reaper would produce.  In the end what I found to work was cut WAY back on the nutes.  The way I figure it, if...

Agreed.  Once they sprout, move them to soil or whatever media you plan to use.   Nice pics !!      Happy Growing,   Jeff

That's quite a list !!  Hope you have the time to manage all of those plants  :party:   The first plant on the list.... the Jalapeno... well that the little pepper for me !!  I also have the Red Savina growing in the tent. Other than the Bhut's I've never tried the other peppers on your list.  ...

Those little "hair(s)" are most likely (absolutely) part of the root.  Skip all that peroxide stuff and plop those little babies in soil !   Hooo Rah !!!   Happy Growing !   Jeff

Looks like you have a pretty well developed base on the plants. The stalks and stems look thick.  So, how was the plant doing before the day/time when the leaves started to fall off ???  Looks to me like it was doing pretty well eh.   In hydro, perhaps the pH got WAY out of whack and that's what...

  Macro is a world in itself.  Sure you can use adapters to get macro like shots, but in my opinion you would be better off with a dedicated macro lens.   I read a lot about macro lenses a while back and settled on a Tokina 100mm f/2.8. It's quite a bit cheaper that other macro lenses out there...

Back in the day.....................................  I used to ride what I would call "off-road".  In my late 20's and early 30's I rode almost every weekend that I had free.  Trails along the Minnesota River bluffs mostly. A lot of the trail system was un-kept and natural. There were a few...

I like to grow peppers, and I like photography also. Two hobbies added to the other many hobbies I have.   I have Nikon D7200 and D5500, and it just happens that I have the 50mm 1.8.  It's a "good lens"... at least mine is a good lens. 50mm is a must have for a lot of things, but if you use it...

Hey Bang... just a quick look at the plants and personally I would not be too worried about it. Doesn't look all that bad. Sometimes it just takes a while for the roots get settled... especially in a small cup.  Looks like you've topped it already so it's been growing for a while. Just let it do...
