So this my first time growing peppers…. Well technically second, last year I just threw some seeds in a pot and hoped for the best. Results were less than impressive to say the least.
With countless hours spent researching on THP I think I came up with a strategy for my grow this year and I’m all in!
Enjoy!
Peppers Sown:
Chinese 5 Color
Serrano
7 Pot Brain Strain Red/Yellow
Fatalii Yellow
Bhut Yellow
Giant Carrot
Czech Black
Jalapeno
Cayenne
Urfa biber
Naglah Brown
(And a roma tomato….. shhhhhh don’t tell anyone)
[SIZE=11pt]Went with the Tupperware method for germination. Started 1/10/2015[/SIZE]
So while the seeds were germinating and to keep myself occupied I decided to build a grow box and make my own LED lighting rig. I based the lighting off of Juanitos design using the aluminum U channel and 3W Red, Blue and a few white LEDs.
Drill and tap, tap, taparoo!
These things are like the sun! Well I guess that’s kind of the point right?
The 4x2x2 grow box lined with Mylar. It helps when your father-n-law has a CNC machine to make quick work of the cutouts and is a master woodworker . I have a video of it being ripped out and I’ll post it later.
