I was looking for a way to check on the spectrum of my lighting, having installed the Photone app on my iPhone to check PPFD and etc., I ran across this app. Although it appears to be made more for checking lighting for photography, only $2 on the App Store, I decided to give it a try. It...

Well, an old fixture reconfigured. I had an old 6 lamp T5HO highbay I scavenged from a warehouse retrofit job back in 2019. It has been lounging in my basement since and I finally got around to converting it to a 12 lamp fixture. Found some twin T5HO tombstones on Amazon, bought three 4 lamp...

I was reading Tdub's glog, and I noticed the phone being used as a PAR meter by way of the Photone app. Been wanting to buy a meter for a while, but $500-$600 for a good quality meter was a bit much. So, I installed it on my iPhone, and, after a little experimentation, decided to buy the...

Coming soon. Stay tuned! 100 plants.

Still using paypal? Would like to get Extreme membership, but absolutely not using paypal, or anything remotely associated with those crooks.

Only doing the CPR/Primo clones again this year, plus some Ecuadoran Hot Lemon Cayenne plants from Burpee.

Not going to be much this year. We are adding a privacy fence, so the raised bed is out of commission until next year, hopefully bigger and better.   Anyway, I have three clones that survived of the five cuttings I took last October. These are (I believe) and unintentional cross of a Red Primo...

After fermenting (brining), I was thinking about pickling (vinegar and pickling spices) pepper rings.   Or, is that not something I can, or should, do?

Thought I would try a ferment with only red Jalapenos, came up a little short, had to add two green Big Guys to top off.   Vidalia onion, garlic, four color peppercorns, coriander seed.    

Red Primo on the left, what were supposed to be CPR on the right.   I am beginning to suspect, since the CPR that I took the pod from that produced the seeds for this plant was growing next a Red Primo last year, that I have a CPR/Red Primo cross.   They definitely are not the same; when I was...

Done two Jalapeno ferments so far this year, nothing special.   Thought I might do a super hot ferment.   The peppers:     Peach Bhut, Gnarly Chocolate Bhut, Justin's Super Bhut.   In a month or so, a half gallon of hot:  

About 3 weeks late getting started this year, but I doubt it will make much difference.   Getting away from doing mostly super-hots and going with more 'edible' varieties.   2020 GROW BELLS CALIFORNIA WONDER GREAT STUFF HONEY CRISP BIG DIPPER RED MERCURY ORANGE (SUPERMARKET BELL PEPPER)  ...

Any new and exciting varieties or crosses available this year?    

would you sell for $100?   200? 300? 400? 500?   I have a co-worker who wants '$100 worth of peppers'.    

Half gallon.   ScotchBrains, SB7J, garlic, pearl onions, coriander seed, black/white/green/pink peppercorns, crystallized ginger, 4% brine solution.  

I have never done a lacto-ferment, so what does everyone add as pickling spice?   I was thinking some garlic cloves and peppercorns. What else?   I will be doing some superhots; Primos, Scorpion crosses. Also some regular hots; such as ScotchBonnet crosses.   So, once the ferment is done, do I...

As you may know, I try to do total organic growing.   I have never used mulch.   I am tired of pulling weeds and grass from my raised beds.   Is there a totally organic mulch, that is, with no dyes or other additives?

I purchased two Eye Hortilux FS+UV T5HO lamps from an online retailer.   One end of both lamps is missing some of the phosphor coating. I have not installed the lamps, so they are in the condition I received them.     I have asked for replacement or refund, but both the vendor and the...

We have a new controller at work, real nice guy.   This afternoon he approached me asking if I sell my peppers.   I said yes, but he should realize they are very hot.   He said, yeah I got some jalapenos at home. To which I replied, mine are quite a bit hotter.   Like Habaneros, he asked. I...
