This is the first year with my tent.  I got it just to contain the light, and not make it so bright in our bedroom all the time.  Its handy at times.   My main issue that I'm having is humidity.  Its constantly around 41% humidity in that thing even with a humidifier.  I can't get more humidity...

Interesting, I have seen that recipe before, and kind of used that as an idea.  One of my ferments has that same look, like white suspended towards the bottom of the jar, its not solid, and if you shake it it will move around in the jar fluidly.  Unfortunately I have no idea what this is...

Well, I hate to do it.  But they are talking our first frost here in a couple days.  I've decided to give one of the ghost plants that's a bit bushier to a friend.  The tall tree one will get cut.  About 3 foot off the top of it so it can fit in my new grow tent.  Shame to cut so much off it...

I recently bought the Advanced Platinum Series P4-XML2 380w light.  Haven't used it yet, but excited for when my plants come in.

Thanks for the responses guys.  I'm just a little nervous haha.  Hate to have the wasted potential of all these peppers and not even be ripe.  We'll see I guess.  Fingers crossed another month things change.  I didn't know if it was something like more calcium or anything that I could give them...

So below are the pictures.  Its late July.  In Iowa, we can get cold weather in another month.  I'm getting worried I'm not going to get any peppers this year.  First peppers started popping up mid June.  Is there anything I can do to speed these up?    Feeding; They have been running really dry...

I use a small paint brush when I self pollinate my pepper plants.  Tends to work pretty good.

Looking good Randy.  Those plants are really booming.  Good job on the shade.  I risked it an didn't do any shade on mine, just had to give them a good dousing of water each day.  They seem to pulled thru.  This week is supposed to be cooler thankfully.    How big are those jumbos?  Any size...

So I've found this year that I'm really tired of the wind.  Almost every morning I have gone out and they are laying on the grown knocked over by wind.  I've propped them up with bricks and still doesn't help.  So hopefully more bricks and I've got it.    I will also say I'm a bit disappointed...

Well Ghost plants are looking better.  We have had some storms lately and last two mornings I have come out to them laying on the ground.  I finally have a few ghost pods going and some reaper pods going even.  I've started using some fox farm products and they seem to be liking it so far.  The...

Yea this heat makes for fun storms.  Iowa is kind of sucks right now.  I saw that the northeast of Iowa is I think over on average rain fall for the year so far.  Yet here in central Iowa, southeast and western Iowa we are all under on average.  We missed out on those storms I think Saturday. ...

I'm am very envious of your garden Randy. Looking good!

The first 2 years I didn't get anything off them.  Last year I started adding calmag to them and ended up getting a few pounds of peppers.  So far this year I'm just having lots of bloom drop.  Hopefully I can get it remedied so I can get something to last me thru the winter.  I've been reading...

Well, figured I'd start one.  I've been reading on here for a couple years and finally joined.    The Ghosts are going on their 4th year now.  Over winter them every year.  But due to space issues this will be the last year for them.  I will tell you....they have been a pain in the butt and a...

Agree with the Excalibur Dehydrator.  I retired the nesco and upgraded to one of those.  I just dried 15lbs of habs a few months ago with mine.  Works awesome.   I dry mine whole, as I've heard if you cut them it will let some of the flavor/capsaicin out.  I use a ninja to grind them, even grind...

Love this.  People around here don't believe me when I tell them my ghost plant is 7-7.5'.  They are a pain to carry in and out the house every year though.  this will be their last year though, tall and skinny doesn't make for much production from what I've experienced.
