  I thought about that too, but it didn't bother me at all...this tool is supposedly designed for potting, i guess they do have other trowels that might be better suited to work outside 

Not sure if this post belongs in this particular channel or not, but I just wanted to pass along a quick review of a gardening tool and figured it is technically grow tech?  Moderators, feel free to remove this post if we're not allowed to review products...    So on to the review, I recently...

UPDATE #07 – 03/04/2014   I've got peppers!!  I have about 6 full grown serranos that I'm thinking of picking tomorrow night.. can't wait to add them to my morning omelet!   As for the overall grow, I had to thin the crop a little. As i only have a 2'x4' tent, space is becoming an issue.  I...

UPDATE #06 – 02/20/2014   It's been a while since I've posted... I've had some issues with watering/feeding but it seems like they're pretty much under control and the plants are going crazy... In the last week I've switched my light schedule to a 12 on /12 off as suggested by my local hydro...

Hello everyone.. This is my first year growing peppers.  I'm growing them in soil from a local greenhouse inside in a grow tent under a powerful light.  (Lights on temp hoovers around 83, lights off temp around 65) I understand that a schedule for watering/feeding is a delicate balance and...

  Should I remove the damaged leaves now? will they hurt the plant?

thanks for the replies... i'll try to hold off another day between waterings.  I have a 6" fan inside the tent, but it's not oscillating, it's just pointed into the middle of the stems... i have a temp/humidity monitor in the tent and it stays around 80-83 with a humidity of 30-40%... is this ok?

Please help... I've noticed this on some of the lower leaves of my serrano plants... I'm growing indoors in a tent and I also have scotch bonnets in the same the same tent and i don't seem to notice it on their leaves... just the serrano.   thanks in advance!    

thanks for the post Roguejim... it got me thinking a lot about space and what not... i think i'm going to just let it ride and let mother nature do her thing...

  thanks for the heads up on the bonnets... those are the peppers I'm really looking forward to!     It's been awesome to have something growing at this time of year up here in the frozen north!

UPDATE #05 – 01/06/2013   Things are really taking off now.  By the end of the week I’m going to have to raise the light or drop the shelf to give the serranos more space! I’m up to 3tsp/gallon of the BioThrive now, on the way to the heavy feeding level of 4tsp/gallon.   I’ve also seem to have...

UPDATE #04 – 12/31/2013   Everything is looking pretty good at this point… I’m watering every 48 hours or so using BioThrive which is rated at 4-3-3.  I’m using the light feeding recommendation of 2tsp per gallon for now.  As I progress I’ll move toward the heavy feeding of 4tsp/gal.   Here are...

UPDATE #03 - 12/24/2013   Everything seems to be plugging along with the serranos... I moved 5 more from the root shooter over to the bigger pots and that's all the plants that came up... 17 of 25... is that good?  As for the scotch bonnets, I was having issues keeping them hydrated in the root...

Thanks for the responses!  I'll give them a snip at the top as they get a little taller!

So sorry!  It's been a while since I posted!  I've been taking pictures along the way and I've got several updates coming so I'm going to split them in to multiple posts... here is the first one...   Update #02 - 12/18/2013   The serranos seemed like they were ready to leave the root shooter, I...

This is my first official year growing from seeds.  I'm excited as things are progressing pretty well (see my glog post ).  I've been reading the various posts on pruning and I'm a little confused as to what I should be doing with my plants. I know there are a lot of opinions, and I want to...

      thanks so much for all the posts... yesterday i had all 6 tubes on from 3am... when i got up at 7, the temp was near 90 degrees... i even had an extra 4" dryer vent that a friend had lying around and i placed it in one of the upper vents and turned the end up so the heat would escape    ...

UPDATE #01   Sunday I noticed my first sprouts coming through.  I've got about 10 of 25 caminos poking through at this point at anywhere from 1/2" to about 2".  Yesterday was the first day I turned on my lights for a full cycle - 18 on, 6 off, and let's just say i had some issues.  The heat in...

  thanks for the advice... i forget to look at amazon sometimes... I'm going to check it out...

so i have a grow tent: a 2'x4'x84" setup and a 6 tube 4' T5 setup with 6500K bulbs that's going to kick off 30,000 lumens.  I have seeds in a root shooter in the tent right now along side a temp monitor and the temp currently hovers around 72 or so.  Before I put the seeds in, I tested out the...
