Urea is one of the substances included in common urine. You could use urine diluted with water if you need additional N!

There's a problem with using PPM as a measurement since different manufacturers use different conversion values. Measuring in EC will guarantee that it's the same for everyone. That being said, I keep my current pepper plant on an EC value of ~1.9 (which would equal 900-1300 ppm depending on...

Made my first attempt at a hoop house this year. Cheap and somewhat ghetto, but so far it does the trick!

I experienced the same problem with my DWC basil last year. I ended up going with the explanation that it happened once lights shut off and temps quickly dropped, causing the edemas. As megahot said, normally it's no problem as long as it's not extreme.

Those plants look absolutely wonderful! How have you propagated them?

Figured it out after some trying! :) They grew like mad for some time but then stopped a bit once I ran out of space/light. :/ The ladybug came with spring! Keeping the window open during daytime so she must have found her way inside. Had a few but most seem to have left now, but I suppose that...

Decided to put my GLog here a bit late and make a heavy first post and then keep going at a more normal pace. This is my third season growing peppers (or anything really) and my first season growing anything but regular C. annuum supermarket varieties. Original plan was to grow in containers in...

Holy cow! How many watts are each CFL? I count 36 CFLs which should be between ~400-800W. Any reason you haven't gone with a HID light?

Yeah, they do have some nice heat actually. I must say that so far it's my favorite pepper I've grown (haven't grown too many varieties though). Stays quite low, has very tight nodes and produces lots of fruit from early on (it usually starts setting fruit even before I can transplant them...

Bumping this thread a bit since I've got a question about Apache as well. I've been growing Apache for two years now. Bought it from a Swedish general seed company (Seed pack: http://static.froer.nu/image/cache/700x700-inside/029d878a9bccb2a2.jpg). Problem is, mine looks nothing like the ones...

Wow, what an overwhelming welcome! Thanks a lot everyone! :)

300W CFL in that small tent? :o Impressive!

I've been browsing here for a while and even made some posts already, but realized I never properly introduced myself... Anyway, hi. I'm Schonke and I live in the southern parts of Sweden. I wouldn't really consider myself a chilihead, I never really ate hot food until last few years, and I...

I can highly recommend using PC fans for moving air out of the box for anyone building their own box! What you'll need are however many pc fans you'd like to use, a transformer to convert AC to DC (make sure it can put out enough amps!) and a luster terminal. Relatively cheap, easy to find...

My cabinet is not as good looking as the rest here since I built two sides with plywood, but on the other hand I got the cabinet for free. The base is a IKEA Lillången sink cabinet. Here's a shot of it in place in my old apartment. I started off lining it with cheap mylar rescue...

Used some really cheap potting mix that I had left over from last year because I was too cheap/lazy to buy new. Lead to deficiencies of P, K and trace elements so I added some nutes which in turn lead to N-burn with 3-5 plants still having problem growing healthy new leaves... On the upside it...

Here's a picture of my indoor grow room. Running a Growlab 80 tent with a 400W HPS in it as well as a home built 150 (actual) watt CFL cabinet. Moved since last season so haven't got any pictures of my patio grow area yet, but here's my old apartments patio grow early and later on in the season.

Looks really interesting! Seems to be an automated hempy bucket system, and hempy buckets have proved their greatness lots of times.

Late answer, but might still be relevant. I've got a couple of DWC buckets (2-5 gallon each) and I only change water every 3 weeks. I fill up the reservoirs every 4-7 days and correct ph every 7 days as well as adding some nutes to get EC up to where I want it. Been working fine so far, though...
