+1 on 6500k color temperature growing chile stems with short internodal length... at least that's the results I'm getting with a quad 4-foot t5 fixture. 3 of the tubes are spectralux 54 watt high output 6500s and the 4th is a PowerVeg 54 watt full spectrum t5 with ultraviolet...

Cheers Joe! We had the pork on toasted onion rolls topped with my homemade p'aechu kimchi... so good!

Cheers guys! Hope you're having a stellar Easter sunday. We're talking to our families on Zoom and I've got pulled pork made for supper. It's south Tejas style Scott... lots of Turkey chiles in the rub and no bbq sauce. [emoji6] Sent from my SM-S327VL using Tapatalk

Hope you all have a stellar Easter Sunday at home with your peeps. We're making Tejas-style pulled pork with lots of "Turkey Chiles!" Congo SR7 seedlings are growing really slowly, but at least they're beginning to put out true leaves. Finally saw some radicles on the new batch of Douglah...

Hi all! After 5 days in the grow box the transplanted chiles have doubled in size. It never ceases to amaze me how just insulating the box with the grow lights inside gets the temperature inside up into the 90s! The lights are on an 18 on and 6 off timer schedule, so I put a half a dozen 1...

Cheers Paul! After about 3 weeks the Congo SR7S are finally moving... Finally got coty's showing in the second cell. C'mon Dougies! Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Got my Yellow 7s, Bhuts and MoA Bonnets transplanted into Air-pots in the grow box down cellar. Just gotta keep 'em fed and watered until it's time to take 'em outside to harden off. I really want at least one Douglah for fresh seed, so I'm gonna sanitize the Aerogarden and start again with the...

Ya reet... "Old" man... [emoji6] Lol! It's time to transplant most of the seedlings into 1 liter Air-pots. No sign of life from the Douglas seeds I sowed. They're getting moldy so Imma toss 'em and use the empty cells in the Aerogarden to sow more after I've sanitized it. Gotta get at least...

Sorry to hear of your Uncle's passing Giancarlo, here's hoping it doesn't spread to your Aunt as well. It's gonna be a crazy year but there are worse ways to deal with it than spending lots of time in the kitchen. Nice to see your Chile seedlings looking (mostly) so well and spring starting...

So true... I'd like to admonish those responsible to ignore social distancing guidelines but the idiots will displace others from much-needed hospital beds.. Nice looking wild seedlings Sandy... You go buddy! Sent from my moto g(7) play using Tapatalk

Dang! That's a rotten piece of luck Ben. [emoji53] Are you gonna sterilize and start again? Sent from my moto g(7) play using Tapatalk

Hey Scott, thanks for stopping by. [emoji3] Sounds like you're not taking retirement resting on your "Laurels..." I'm sure the garden will wait for you. Sent from my moto g(7) play using Tapatalk

G.A. troop.... Drive on. [emoji6] Sent from my moto g(7) play using Tapatalk

Jeez... That's a cast iron b**** as far as growing in-ground, but it could be quite lucrative if the trees are of harvestable size. https://web.extension.illinois.edu/askextension/thisquestion.cfm?threadid=8714&catid=196&asksiteid=87 From what I've read, your biggest problem is in the nuts and...
