    Any experience with MykoRiz Spores for enhanced Root Network and N* Uptake?

    Rapid start works well in Hydro, and there are some mycos that are good for hydro. I have a bag at home, but forget the name     Here is the rapid start - not cheap though  ...

    5 years now! Want to get some advic

    Instead of a tent on the balcony, you might be able to build a wood box (same size as a tent - you design the specs) out of OSB or plywood and 2x4's. Should be plenty heavy enough to hold against wind, and wont cost any more (usually less) than most tents. And if you build it right, you can tear...

    greenhouse Using a green house during the summer

    I used to have a plastic covered greenhouse with a little less than adequate ventilation and lost a few plants. I changed it up and put shade cloth over the greenhouse instead and noticed that the plants were plenty protected from all kinds of winds that would kick up here and there.   If you're...

    LED heat vs 315W LEC

    In the canna world (my home town), CMH is kind of top-dog right now. In theory, best setup would be HPS plus CMH, but thats hugely overkill for pepper plants.   I'm a big supporter of HPS, but if I were to ever venture out of that realm, or for something to pair it with, it would be CMH.   Just...

    greenhouse indoor greenhouse?

    IMO, if it's for display purposes, that case will be AWESOME! But, if you mean to use it literally as a greenhouse indoors, my question would be for what purpose? Indoors is already more protection than any greenhouse can possibly provide, and you'll just be introducing hurdles to overcome, like...

    DWC Bhut and Reaper... pH dropping very fast

    What is the health of the root mass? do you see any browning or greying? anything look like it might be dying? If you have anything but healthy white roots, you may be getting a ph swing from decaying matter. It happened to me once when I pinched an air line and the plants went two 24 hr periods...

    Stabilizing for desired shape

    Selection is key. The more plants you grow out, the more you'll have to select from. Keep selecting the same trait over and over again through each generation. How many generations? depends, just do it until you can't differentiate from the progeny and report back with us with that number! hehe...

    seeds pods and seeds

      pretty much, perfectly said     Genetics will not change from pod to pod on the same plant, only thing that might differ is that each flower (prior to being a pod) may get pollinated by who-knows-what, causing each pod to devleop different seed variants. However, if the plant is isolated and...
