    Sourcing Salt petre

    Taking fine sandpaper and lightly run the seed across it will accomplish the same unneeded effect

    water Ordered a water pump today

    Your only requirement for hydro is to wet the roots and let them dry. Aeroaponics will require enough pressure and volume to bust the water into tiny droplets A lot of submersible pumps contain oil and are not "food" safe. Fish are very susceptible to chemicals, so pond pumps are a little less...

    lighting Nice price on some T5 lights

    If it puts out 5000 lumens it has to be 54 watt High Output lights. The cheapest T5's you'll find are made by Lithonia Lighting. Get their High Bay warehouse lights. They have great reflectors and put out a ton of light

    video A couple videos of 7Pot and Scorpion munching

    Great videos! That guy is owning those peppers. Scorpions warm my guts up like a pot belly stove, but 7 pods crush me.

    New aeroponics setup

    Risk of pathogens, microbes, virus', goes up with hotter temps. You also lose oxygen carrying capacity. I have outdoor hydro setups, but I don't use aeroponics for several reasons, but res temps is the biggest. Those pump put out a shit load of heat running 24/7, especially with small...

    Alrighty folks here's an Ebb and Grow project for your holiday weekend

    Moshman, that's exactly how it works. I will post a video showing the flood/drain process in the next few days. You can buy controllers with high and low water switches http://www.aquahub.com/store/diygbuildebb.html , but they're expensive and not reliable. I chose to run it on a timer and it...

    Scotch Bonnets, Will they grow again next Year?

    There's your answer! Save your clippings and clone them if you decide to prune your plants prior overwintering them. One large plant can make 20 clones easily

    Free to a good home in Atlanta!

    I have a ton (40) of hydro clones that need a home. Most are about 24" tall and leggy from being cramped up a bit. They're all very healthy and bug free. Everything is a true clone and some are throwing peppers. These can easily be potted up in dirt or let them ride in a hydro system. I have...

    New aeroponics setup

    Without a chiller it's going to be tough. The pump itself generates a ton of heat in a small reservoir.

    Alrighty folks here's an Ebb and Grow project for your holiday weekend

    SS, I use bamboo only if necessary. I'm a mean ass gardener. I like to make it tough on my plants, and let them toughen themselves up. I stake probably 25% of my plants. I weave tomatoes because they just can't take the weight. I've experimented with letting tomatoes fall to the ground and grow...

    Systemic insecticide in Hydro solution?

    I do not use any insecticides on any plants. I will however use garlic and neem if the problem gets out of hand. Healthy plants will put up a stronger fight than weak plants. Calcium really helps plants fend off invaders. I use 1/2 tbls per gallon of water

    New aeroponics setup

    Florida heat and running your pump 24/7 will kill your reservoir temps in an aeroponic system.

    Stupid Wind

    Take all the broken pieces and start cloning them. As long as they're still green they will take. Make some chicken soup out of chicken shit! The clones will never produce this year, but you'll have a ton of nice plants next year

    A little too much pleasure going on for my liking! This is what I get for not using pesticides, but so far no real damage.
