    seeds Process using single seed tray and light

    Hi all, So I've got my equipment (seed tray, heat mat, insulation, 4 2' T5 bulbs, thermostat, etc.) and have my seeds sitting in some seedling mix (3/4 Happy Frog 1/4 perlite) waiting to germinate. Once I get some seedlings starting to pop up, I plan on removing my plastic dome and turning on...

    Heat mat insulation

    Thanks everyone for the quick responses! I guess I'll be keeping the towel then.

    Heat mat insulation

    So I've read that some people use insulation under their heat mats to prevent heat loss. Generally people seem to be using some kind of bubble wrap, foil covered insulation. I guess I can find this by looking around home depot? hopefully I'll recognize it when I see it, and I plan on picking...

    fermenting Can you keep a "Running Mash"

    Ditto to what Pablo said. I use all but a little bit of a batch of pepper mash, and will then add fresh peppers to the mix, with the proper amount of salt, etc. Mix in the bit of older mash at the bottom, and fermentation begins again. Same concept as when people use the same sourdough starter...

    soil Switching soil midseason

    So you're saying that when I dig around the plant and remove it from the pot, the roots will hang on to much of the soil that they were previously planted in? I figured that once I removed the plant, most of the soil would fall off of the roots and I'd be able to repot into a full pot of new...

    soil Switching soil midseason

    I'd say around 2 months left, guessing that the growing season in NYC ends around late-September. I've got two Fatali plants and two Bhut Jolokia plants. They all have some flowers, but only one of the plants seem to be producing pods (a Bhut). The others look like some of the flowers will set...

    soil Switching soil midseason

    Hi all, Earlier in the summer, I hadn't access to any better soil than the generic drug store variety. My pepper plants seem to be suffering from the low quality soil, exhibiting stunted growth and few pods. I recently found a shop relatively close where I could pick up some Fox Farms soil. Is...

    Woozies reusable?

    Are hot sauce woozies (specifically those from Leener's) reusable? I just spent $25 including shipping, and am hoping that I'll be able to use these more than once. I plan on using the hot packing method of simple filling the woozies with high temperature sauce and inverting the bottles. Any...

    fermenting Using pepper mash in sauce recipes

    So Chili Monsta, Did you use ONLY the hab mash in this recipe, or did you sub out any tablespoons of the mash for actual hab peppers? What's the heat level like with the 3 tablespoons of mash? I'm thinking of doing the 3 tablespoons, with the the addition of some whole hab peppers, since I...

    fermenting Using pepper mash in sauce recipes

    Thanks a lot Chili Monsta! Looks like those change in the recipe could be good too. :) I'll give this one a shot.

    fermenting Using pepper mash in sauce recipes

    Hi everyone, I've had my hab mash going for about six weeks, and am now looking for recipes to use it in. I'd like to hear from anyone with experience using the mash as one ingredient in, or as a base for hot sauce recipes. I've read that about a tablespoon of mash can equal a standard sized...
