    contest Growdown: Prik Kee Noo Suan!: Prik a peck of peppers!

    When I left, my plant had maybe 30 ripe pods and upward of 400 green ones. I put all the plants outdoors before I left and asked my uncle to just add tap water to the buckets and ensure the air pumps continue running. In the basement they would have died without care. I just hope I come home to...

    contest Growdown: Prik Kee Noo Suan!: Prik a peck of peppers!

    Great job everyone! Writing this from my hotel in Washington DC. Was in Florida last week and leaving tomorrow for Cleveland and then Chicago by the weekend. I hope all my plants are still alive at home! I am so sorry that I was not able to complete this grow down but will update anyway on...

    container Multiple plants in a container

    Better to do it early. Tearing some roots wont really harm the plants, Once you get a good portion of them.

    contest Growdown: Prik Kee Noo Suan!: Prik a peck of peppers!

    You are still going to win. I messed up also. I won't get my pods to ripen in time and then I will be out of state during the end of this. Have to fly to Florida next week.

    Gigantic Yellow Brain Strain lights me up

    :dance: Thank god that one strained you a bit. I was starting to think you were Chuck Norris, especially when you kept complimenting the flavour and then finally it clicked, oh yeah this is a super hot, maybe I should say its hot.   "It has amazing flavour, and.... its hot, but amazing flavour!"...

    Gibberellic Acid and its effects.

    I will check on the concentration tomorrow. And I have a bonda ma jaque I sprayed on also which produced crazy splits. My dirt grow which has a ghost scorpion is growing pretty normal. If crazy growth is normal for a jay's ghost scorpion then maybe the GA3 did nothing. Joyner's has grown them in...

    Gibberellic Acid and its effects.

    It was two applications. I never sprayed any more onto it since.

    Dwc pepper plants update

    Plant support needed ASAP!! Whilst you still can, put a tomato cage over them. Drill three holes in the lid so the cage can drop into the bucket and sit down to the first ring. You will be grateful that you did it before they got big and you couldn't any more. The net pots are just not capable...

    Proof that winning is always optional!!!

    Okay I change my mind!!! This is some freaky cross... It has slightly lower heat level than a scotch bonnet but definitely a bell pepper flavor. Could it be a scotch bonnet x bell cross? Here is the plant Hope the extra picture can help solve this mystery.

    Gibberellic Acid and its effects.

    Well I have been experimenting with Gibberellic Acid (GA3) growth hormone and in some instances it works great but it really has to be used in moderation and contrary to popular belief, it takes a couple months for the changes to be noticeable. I haven't tested its ability to increase seed...

    chinense I tested the Ice Scream Scorpion by Butch Taylor

    If I get pods from my plant in the next month or so and it does grow true, It would be cool if you are willing to taste it and compare Butch's pod to mine in terms of flavour and heat. Would give a good measure of stability with this new strain.

    The official TOMATO thread

    Here is my tomato adventures! My only hydro tomato. Just an experiment. Bunch of different varieties. Don't ask me now what they are. I just call this medusa... It's a tangle of tomato plants that regrow from seeds every year and I never bother to stop it. It's a mixture of early girl...

    Aquaponic systems (let's experiment together!)

    I only specialize in grid tied systems. I actually have to fly to St. Lucia in September to install a 5KW and a 6KW grid tied system on two residences. Bimodal and off grid systems are far too expensive and not reliable enough for locations with grid connectivity especially given our current...

    Aquaponic systems (let's experiment together!)

    Ah it is submersible! My current pump is 550 gph so this may work. It is just about 350 gph.. Did your calculations get you to about the same wattage of panels needed?   I may go with this one  ...

    Aquaponic systems (let's experiment together!)

    You will need 128 watts of panels to keep that thing off grid 24/7. Your 1.7 amp pump will pull 40.8 amps in 24 hours which is what your battery capacity down to 50% will have to be, which you obviously have a lot more than that. So that at 12 volts is 489.6 watts, de rated 85% to be safe which...

    Patrick's 2013 Grow Log

    Welcome back Patrick. My plants all have suffered the same problem. Every one of them outside. Been treating for mites but it has been going so so. Not sure if it is a herbicide problem.
