Where do we send the entries?

Yeah the top leaves for most part are pretty good. I think maybe they need a little boost with some ferts. They are like a foot tall and only fertilized once. They have stalled now and leaves turned little yellow. What ya think?

What is the deficiency with these leaves. The pics are a couple leaves that have fallen off of my plants the past couple days. Any help would be appreciated.    

Yes a little bit ..... I mixed it in with potting soil and garden soil. I have always used miracle grow with no issues. I usually just put on top of soil though and don't mix it in when this young. I usually didn't mix in the dirt until they were going outside full time. I also used bone meal...

My pepper leaves have started to get "crinkly" looking an dit worries me a little bit. I know they all cant look perfect but figured I would ask all you experts out there. I transplanted into these 4" pots about a week ago and they are on a heating mat as I am also trying to germinate some seeds...

I originally used the hydrfarm setup mentioned above and have now upgraded to the 6 bulb version. Works well for me!

Looks yummy!

I am about to transfer plants into larger cups. Is there a benefit one way or another to plant in any one of the following? Assume they are all the same size.   1. Red Solo Cup 2. Clear Solo Cup 3. A Jiffy Pot (Or something similar that I can get at Lowes.)  

Maybe I will continue to use. I just figured after 3 year it probably lost around half!

  This is a great chart!. I am using the T5HO currently but have been using for the third year now and I think its time to replace even though I am around 10,000 hours if not over. I have to imagine the lumens are a lot less being in the 3rd year.

Does anyone have knowledge on what the difference between T5, T8 and T12 lights are?

They are frozen pods. I just finally got my dehydrator and blender for Christmas so now I can go to town but in the future I hope to do fresh as they are picked.

Has anyone smoked hot peppers before. I'm just looking for a temp and time frame on how long to smoke them. I'm guessing about an hour or two so they don't get bitter. 160 degrees sounds about where I want to be. I will be making them into powders afterwards.

Does anyone have an Excalibur dehydrator? Does anyone know if the front cover Is supposed to seal?
