Welcome. My thoughts would be anything higher than 30-35*C would be hard on the plants as well as cause evaporation/humidity issues. My grow room in Canada would start to see leaves getting all bumpy and struggle from how quickly the evaporation was happening around 30*C.

welcome from BC

Welcome, Best of luck in this growing season.    Its currently lows of 4* C in my neighbourhood

Hi all,   I'm not actually new here, but i have been absent for a few years. I'm back... I have a garden bed again (although fairly small) and some space for some potted plants. I'm from British Columbia, Canada and have a passion for chiles. I am always open to seed trading although most of my...

I'm surprised the Pi has lasted in a ziplock bag without overheating itself. There are lots of cases available, some with 5v fans and heatsinks included. I would suggest something like this to avoid coming home from a weekend with a dead garden. If you put all your eggs in one basket with...

I run my 400W metal halide between 12" and 18" with a small fan that pushes the heat away from under the hood. the room is ventilated with an exhaust fan to maintain approx 22 degrees C average as well. I have no issues with this other than some "edema" once and a while which is caused from my...

welcome to the circus

Everything looks great. You are not alone starting early.... there's no such thing with HID's. I have 5 small plants going, and don't even have a plan for them outdoors yet. I'm just experimenting so it doesn't need to be any season. Best of luck

update:   I have 2 jalapenos growing nicely as my grafting base... I've topped them to help branch out for this project. And yesterday a Manzano sprouted after more than 2 months. The other manzanos are a loss though... Im pretty sure they are just moldy   EDIT: I tried to post a pic to no...

I have just started seeds for a grafting project. All c. annuum using jalapeno as a base and several others to graft to offshoots. It will be a winter project for fun. I plan to use saranwrap and small office supply clips. Cleft grafts to start. I have seen a couple of youtube videos of...

I'll send a PM   I could never say no to fresh seeds. Especially since all of mine are getting old and stubborn. There isn't much i could offer in return except old stock of most things in my profiles strain list..... (Its large, and am happy to give away lots of what I have left.... its going...

I know its a little late to start my 2015 season and keep up with you  :P But I am going to anyways. I've been away from the forum as well as growing for a few years now, but have got the itch to fire things back up.  Here's the plan..   C. Annuum Grafting trials. (Jalapeno, Big Bomb, Explosive...

Thanks miguelovic, Gibberellic acid. I knew I'd know it when i saw it. I owe you one. I'll attempt a soak in acid solution.   Do you guys/gals think that sprouting times would increase because of the age? when should i give up on annuums or pubescens and start over?

hi all, Unfortunately I've been away from the forums as well as growing peppers for a couple years now. Family has taken priority over gardening and peppers..... But i've got the itch and I need to get back into it.   With a grow room empty for a couple years, I've unfortunately fallen out of...

My tap water was too powerful for them even at about 300 ppm. They get most of their nutrition from from the bugs, Very picky plants..... mine never lasted long. I cannot seeing hydro work out for them unless you figure out what PH they like and never feed them any nutrients

Although I have never used DWC outdoors, I have noticed in my DWC grows that the only time Ive experienced any sort of foaming it was temperature related. H202 every once and a while should help keep things from growing in there. But i also suggest wrapping your bucket, try to keep it dark and...
