I have ordered an air hose and tubing, and was going to make a small bucket system using DWC. This will be my first time ever doing hydro, and I have been very interested in trying some hydro since I got into growing peppers in soil. I have seen and read about other styles of hydroponics on...

Title sums it up, when I transplanted my Carolina reapers and Habaneros I don't think I potted them up enough. So they are growing outwards with big leaves faster than growing vertically. The big leaves are growing into the sides of the 16oz cups, should I cut away at the tops of the cups so...

I'm not too concerned about money, since I will have have a giant garden, but I am very interested in these two pot types. Anyone care to share their experiences with either one of these? Pictures?

I check on my plants way too much! Like as much as possible, I know I'm not the only one out there that does. So addicting, I try not to. This being my first time ever really growing anything, Between 11/20-12/22, I have sowed 6 different varieties of peppers, and some hybrid solar flare sun...

Anyone here built their own custom grow tent for their needs? I want to build one similar to the ones you can buy but a shorter scale one for seedlings. Anyone know where I can find the materials online?

I bought a bag of this back in October and sowed my first seeds in the beginning of November. I have noticed all the lower leaves are wilting, and yellowing, plus I used clear cups and can see small patches of green mold inside the cup. Is this because its an old bag of soil? Lack of nutrients...

http://www.hydrofarm.com/product.php?itemid=9650 How big of an area will this cover? Anyone have this setup? Do you like it a lot, I love the 2tb model I currently own, just not big enough for me. I'm selling my 2ft-2tb version since now that I have transplanted my plants to 16oz cups I have...

I have a grow box I made out of cardboard and lined with tin foil. My flouro lights sit over the plants and leave about 8" on either side for air flow. I do not have any type of fan hitting my plants, is it essential? I do from time to time have to hit the soil with a water/baking soda mixture...

Do theses first leaves fall off at all at the beginning of their lives?

I don't have a dehydrator yet, and my oven doesn't go as low as needed to dry out peppers. Do you think it's possible to dry out peppers like Habaneros in my pepper grow box? The temperature stays around 80 degrees in the box with the lights on. Has anyone tried this? It's a cardboard box...

Just transplanted 8 of my seedlings to 16oz keg cups, they are all working on their 2nd set of leaves. I watered from the bottom like I have been with the 9oz cups, now that water only made it up to 1/2 - 3/4 of the way up the cup. Should I water from the top as well since it's a new transplant...

Ok, so as I have said in other threads, 1st time grower. They are currently all in small clear plastic cups. My oldest is just under 4 weeks old, and putting up the second set of leaves. When should I transplant to the 16 oz keg cups? When the second set of leaves are fully grown or the...

This is my first time gardening, and I'm starting it off with an indoor winter growing project. I have 5 different types of peppers growing all under 4 weeks old so far. Should I be worried about bugs even of they are inside my home? I'm just not sure what to expect as they get bigger.

I recently built my first grow box with cardboard and lined the walls with foil as well as the floor. My question is do I need the floor foiled to reflect the light upwards? What are the pros and cons? The walls are foiled down to the floor of the box, and the plants are all less than 4 weeks...

I have I believe 2 or 3 sprouts that are about 1-2" tall so far and still have the seed stuck on it's head. What should I do? Will they naturally be popped off from the growth of the leaves?

Hi, I started growing some pepper plants for a fun winter project. I started sowing seeds on 11/20 and saw my first sprouted on 11//5, which were jalapeños. Now I have jalapeños, Habaneros, sweet peppers, carolona reaper, and Fatalis all growing. He tallest maybe 2 1/2", I have a dual T-5 light...

Hello fellow hot heads! I already made my first post on this forum this past week, and I forgot to introduce myself. I live in NH and this past summer got hooked on hot peppers. Jalapenos got me started and serranos, I started making jalapeno hot sauces and just made my first jalapeno hot sauce...

Until I can grow my own, I have to buy them from the stores. How do you go about sterilizing them so you can just eat one if you wanted to.
