    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...

    Seeds Direct Butch T TS

    So last year August, I was given an Amazon suggestion to buy Butch T seeds for $1.29! The seller was Seeds Direct and reading the reviews, it seemed that some people grew "something" amazing and the others got orange habs. Well $1.29 is nothing to spend so I decided to give it a try and add it...

    Brood II is coming... Could cicadas break my peppers?

    So I have been living in the US for 5 years now and now I am hearing that large amounts of cicadas swarming in small shrubs and trees could break branches and destroy these plants from the excess weight. Could this happen to our pepper plants outdoors? And do they really suck on trees and...

    Does anyone use seasoning peppers?

    I just got back from St. Lucia again and managed to bring back a bag full of seasoning peppers. I am growing them this year but no pods as yet.

    Okay so I just got this bag straight from home in St. Lucia. These are found sometimes in the market but mostly it grows wild on the island and is found as a small shrub all over.

    media Home made repeat timer for aeroponics

    So I saw a guy making repeat timers out of a regular 24 hour home timer. He had instructions up but no matter where I went, I could not find the exact same timer he used.
