    history repeats itself. put those seeds down like i said, and had excellent results using the tea plus-a-bit o' lemon soak with 15/24 seeds popping after 10 days or so. even 4 of 10 of my goal-crushing nemesis frutescens had showed up. thought about taking some pics and making a post in the...

    pic from a few days after my last post: apologies - i'm back to my old ways, it seems - for no updates for a month plus. truthfully, i've been suffering silently this whole time. i only mean that plant-wise; everything else in my life is going okay, just having sub-par results with my grow...

    misc Do plants care about getting their light all at once?

    i don't have an answer, but i just wanted to jump in and say that out of necessity, i have been running my light exclusively at night. the wife did give it to me at this time last year about our hydro bill going up, and now the room where the plants live is also set up to be our daughter's play...

    kinda quiet here, but on the weekend i did up-pot all the survivors of the original six trays into 4 inch pots. only drowned one due to a loose soil mix and high water flow out of the watering can, but a couple others were close. here's the roster: in 4” pots now: (AvG) Dwarf Chili Tepin x2...

    what's new since feb 12th's post: at the time i was composing my last update on super bowl sunday, my daughter was busy messing with my plant table. only trays 3 and 6 were affected, as all the others still had the domes on at that point and evaded her immediate interest. decimated were the...

    quick update, as we have had some action this week - sugar rush peach being the clear winner: no true leaves have emerged yet on any of the peppers, but i am happy that every day since sunday has brought at least one more seed to life. 8/60 peppers up after 10 days. not gangbusters, but...

    thanks @PaulG and i have some hooks to announce already! only the "non-peppers" so far, but 7/12 were up. a couple were wearing helmets that i successfully removed, and one lil guy had ejected his whole self from the soil so i tried to stick his root back under the dirt to see if he can make a...

    lighting Help choosing grow light

    this is the one i bought last year, as i wanted the highest intensity light for the lowest price. unfortunately right now it's $90 so quite out of your budget. but when i bought it it was on sale for $55, so i would suggest to just scour the amazon (or elsewhere) results and choose the best...

    thanks for the tip of the cap, and for the advice; i appreciate it as i'm still a novice at this, especially these types i've no experience with. i might still start earlier the sugar rush peach, as with all peaches they take forever to ripen sometimes. and if you are in quebec i trust you on...

    Growyourown 2022: TURNING IT WAY UP

    so, 5 months later, gotta be a record long time taken to update a glog. it was just so sad the final state of things. here's the last picture, 9/29's pull was everything. i didn't have enough unripe pods on that first freeze risk to try and save anything, so just picked all the plants clean...
