I started with a standard dark Porter recipe I've done before- dark, not overly smokey but rich in chocolatey goodness. Start SG of 1.060 with a 'stock' ABV of 6.5%. At the very end of the boil right before chilling the wort, I dropped 2 jars of this in the pot-...

I normally wouldn't do this as I'm generally not organized enough, compared to most grow log posters. But since this is what a couple Brain Strain 7 Pots looked like 9 days after putting seeds down, I thought I ought to document this particular grow- Seriously? Jebus. I'd started a 100 cell...

Have a business acquaintance who owes me MUCH favors, and he just let it slip that he's in Quevedo Ecuador on business. What sorts of seeds should I cash favors in for? :lol: I'm becoming interested in primitive/pre-Columbian varieties but I'm not familiar with this particular area. Any help...

Finally, a decent app for the iPhone! And it's free! I just found this today, so if anyone else has already posted it I apologize in advance (though I did do a search before posting) GH iPhone app I put it on mine and fiddled with it a bit and so far it looks pretty cool- probably a little...

I didn't want to hijack Tony's thread, so I figured I'd start my own showing what we've got going on. First up is the filtration- Tony's mentioning of filtration in his thread got me to thinking and, fortunately, acting on it. I looked around and came up with this- Pentek dual 10" filter...

Kind of odd I know, but has anyone ever done this? Every once in a while I'll get a mild spider mite outbreak. Nothing ever really serious, but usually the plant ends up in really poor shape and I've never really really gotten rid of the bastards completely. So I got to thinking- why not kill...

Or both? I cleaned out my greenhouse last time home, this next time home I'm going to be delousing it prior to setting any plants out there. My plans were to fill a 3 gallon sprayer with a 10% bleach solution and douse the greenhouse with it. Should I use pyrethrin instead, or should I shoot it...

A buddy of mine married a Colombian girl, and any more they end up travelling back to the Homeland a couple times a year. He came back recently and left her and the kids down with the fam for a couple extra weeks- we got to talking, and I got him to hit up his old lady to bring me back some...

At least they are if you live in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah or West Virginia. If you don't live in one of the aforementioned states, you can pick up a 5 gallon Rogue Brewery...

So after considering my lighting options for growing indoors... I made my choice and as usual I can't do anything normal. We pay about 17¢ per kilowatt hour for electricity and I'm a cheapskate, so HID is not really feasible for me at this time. I'm also a bit of a light fetishist (I actually...

While Moyboy and Huntsman and the rest of the crew on the wrong side of the planet get started on their crops outside, I'm in the process of moving mine back indoors- or will be, when I get back home from work next week. While in the past I've had good success in using standard T12 flouros for...

This is making me sick to my stomach. The top plant is a 7 Pot, the bottom is an Aji Crystal. I know I know, you're right now saying 'uh- no it's not and no it's not.' Trust me, they are. They aren't the only plants that are looking this way though- out of about 20 chiles, I've got about 6...

I wanted to start this thread as it seemed that AJ's excellent First 80 Plants in Greenhouse thread was getting hijacked with some wonky greenhouse tech talk- so let's get our wonk on in this thread! I originally thought this would apply more for those of us in northern latitudes, but I think...

MMMmmmmmm, fat dipped in fat then fried in fat, then served with a side of fat- best made with homemade bacon, of course! The only thing that topped this was eating whale blubber dipped in seal oil. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfbTO0GlONU Fried Bacon 1 lb thick sliced bacon 1 egg 1/2...

I am in a total and complete state of shock. My Malawi Birds Eye is dead, and it literally happened overnight. This plant was a touch over a year old, and was remarkably hardy in regards to hydroponics and nutrient schedules- this was the first plant I grew in a bubbler, and it did great and...

I picked up an Electrotech 12" LED traffic light for next to nothing- according to this spec sheet it's putting out 630nm. While the lens itself is red, according to this spec sheet the LEDs are 630nm as well as having the red lens. http://www.iqtrafficontrol.com/products/full-ball-specs.htm...

Figured I'd post a couple pics from the lab. This is the Bolivian Rainbow, this was the first bloom about two months ago- For the size of the plant it sure can produce! They make a great houseplant. It's just in a 6 inch dirt pot, I haven't seen fit to transplant it into anything bigger...

I figured if it's good enough for aquarium plants it's got to be good enough for something, right? I got a bunch of CO2 tablets, as intended for aquarium plant growing. I honestly don't know if it's helping or not, but it certainly doesn't seem to be hurting any- I just drop a couple in the...

I found the site while doing research into the use of power LEDs for indoor growing. While I've got a few 'pedestrian' species living in dirt, my serious plants have never seen the light of day, nor felt the warm earth! I've got a 'test lab' of sorts where I'm always testing out new...
