That's a nice list! Is there a particular reason you're starting on the 9th?

heefy · Dec 28, 2018

A very hot list indeed. Nearly all superhots! Wow.

All the best, for your grow.

+1 Heefy. That list has gnarl written all over it!

Good to see you in the glogosphere this season, Al.
Looking forward to watching your grow progress.

All the best Al certainly a hot grow one to put hairs on your chest

CaneDog · Dec 28, 2018

... or burn them all off! Good luck with the grow. There's a lot of big heat on that list!

alkhall · Dec 28, 2018

Thanks,

Looking forward to seeing everyone's glogs.

@MarcV,

I always start the weekend of the first full week of February, and plant out the the third or fourth weekend of May.

Your last year's glog had such excellent photos of your plants and harvest. I'll follow along with this one.

Walchit · Jan 1, 2019

Can't wait to see those loaded down plants

alkhall · Jan 24, 2019

Could not help myself; added Leviathan Gnarly Scorpion and WHP 006 from White Hot Peppers.

Today is setup day.

Got the shelving put up, put a starter tray on a heat mat to warm up before dropping seeds.

After five years of starting in coir plugs, I am trying a Rapid-Rooter https://static1.squarespace.com/static/515dc1f3e4b0bca14d78d4c6/t/56b933807c65e43d5a9975ba/1454977940332/?format=1500w tray this year.

Added some Jamaican Hot Chocolate for my boss and some Ecuadoran Hot Lemon Cayenne for a buddy.

Still working on my new light fixture, waiting for the TFN wire to arrive, also ordered eight new lamps; two Eye Hortilux FS+UV and six Spectralux 6500K. I am reusing two FS+UV lamps I bought last year along with two Actinic (420nm) lamps.

Stay tuned...

This new light sounds intense

MarcV · Feb 10, 2019

Interesting lamps... unfortunately not available outside the US/Canada...

I should have the wire tomorrow (Monday).

I will post pics once it is finished.

The suspense is killing me! Its gonna be a 12 bulber? How big of an area are you covering?

Yes, 12 lamps.

2x4 foot shelf.

However, I am going to use timers to control the ballasts.

I will have all lamps on for 12 hours, 8 lamps on for 14 hours, and 4 lamps on for 16 hours. As an experiment to simulate the natural amount of light from outdoors.

The schedule will be:

4 lamps 05:30-21:30
8 lamps 06:30-20:30
12 lamps 07:30-19:30

PaulG · Feb 10, 2019

Very interesting, Al, will be looking forward
to the results of your technique!

Hope your season is the best, buddy!

Walchit · Feb 10, 2019

You shouldn't need to harden them off lol.

alkhall · Feb 24, 2019

First sprout; Jamaican Hot Chocolate, 14 days.

CaneDog · Feb 24, 2019

Alright, the wheels are in motion! Long time to wait patiently for that first hook, but you are growing a lot of that slower heat.
