I think youre best off running your system manually and figuring out how much is enough / not too much. Better to beta test your own system while you have the time to monitor it than over or under water based on someone elses suggestions.

Way more of a pain than worthwhile, my girlfriends mom gave me a few last year. I had a couple isssues where the tomatoes got heavy enough that they 1. broke the bungie cords I was using to hold them up; 2. ripped the large screws I had them affixed to a crossbeam with out of the wood. Also...

The light is pretty close , maybe 4 inches from the top of the pot, I can move the seed cup another 4 inches or so away from the light. It's a funky 65w compact flouro I found in the garage, looks like a relic of future past , with a reflector and a plastic cover. It gets fairly warm directly...

Just curious, what ph level do you adjust your water to with/without nutes? I've always thought around 6 was optimal for most plants but I have no idea whats best for peppers, and your plants look happy enough I'm fairly sure you're on the right track.

Sign me up neighbor!

Looks like the final stage of damp off rot to me.

Thanks, I had a suspicion that Melissa might have a connect for me ;)

Thanks for the replies, I'm definitely planning on gettingmore peat pelletsthenext time I germinate seeds. With my current setup I expect decent germ rates with the pellets. I was just wondering if anyone had similiarexperiences with bhut seeds, so I could figure out if the situation was due to...

If their munching on your plants, you could try making a ring of salt around each of the plants. Snails and slugs arn't too fond of salt. Not good for the skin, I hear.

I'm going to be needing some more "planting medium" soon, so I figured I may as well try out the Promix everyone is raving about. It seems to be somewhat tricky to track down, though. Does anyone know a place in the Eastern Los Angeles county area that carries the stuff? All i've been able to...

Hey guys, As some of you may know, I'm growing peppers from seed from the first time this year. I've grown a couple other plans from seed in the past, and have had no problems and semi-decent germination rates with other plants. Anyhow, after some mishaps and a less than 10% germ rate on my...

#2 looks like it might have possibly "damped off", I've had a few over the years get rotten stems. I have a tomater seedling that damped off this year, I hit it REALLY hard with hydrogen peroxide and burried it a little deeper, hoping I'd kill the infection and the stem could sprout new...

I think hydroponics have been proven to outperform soil based growing techniques, although I'm too tired and lazy to Google research to support my statement. That said, it would be nearly impossible to make a hydro setup big enough to compete with the root area a great outdoor, in-ground garden...

Glad to hear that you've found some relief from your illness! My sister suffers from debilitating chronic (essentially non-stop, day-in-day-out) migraines, and has been on a boatload of potent painkillers and various anti seizure medication for the entirety of her adult life. She doesn't like...

I picked up some habs from a "Mexican" supermarket called Baja Ranch that were substantially hotter than the ones I'm used to...but if those are bothering you more than bhuts I'm guessing its a tolerance issue.

Is that price in Euros ? Those are some expensive peppers my friend! About $23.50/lb. if I did my math correctly. They do look nice though, I'd probably pick up a few pods to taste and take seeds.

Thanks to this thread I think I figured out whats wrong with my "Black Prince" tomato (also a Bonnie... )

Looking good, glad that things have worked out for you!

Is the soil wet? That looks like it's wilted from lack of water, although if you massively overwater I think you can get the same effect. If the soils dry- and it looks dry in the picture- water your plant.

I took one look at that thing and man I wish I could take some cuttings. Perfect mother plant there for clones. Does the hydro store use it for cloning or just advertising the air pots?
