Any issue with bugs? The one thing that always annoyed me with the standard plastic pots was that the large black ants would always borrow into my plants through the drain holes and try to make a home. Have you noticed this? Neil Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk

I haven't tried the Flora Nova series, though from what I've read and heard it is thick. One of the hydro stores I go to actually gives you a drill bit that you can stir it with if you but a bottle. It appears to work though. Neil Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk

Good to hear Rick! I guess it's the nutes that make the stem thick of you're getting the same thing. Neil

I figured that it was time for an update. I've added GH Grow and GH Damond Nectar to my list of nutrients and have been using a modified formula as calculated by General Hydroponics. So far the results have been positive. I've noticed that there is a difference in growth between GreatfulH3AD's...

Thanks for the kind words guys. I'm always amazed at the growth rate and the roots that coco and nutrients produce. I'm trying a few different things this year, but still hoping to replicate the production I got last year. Fingers crossed for a hot season again! Neil

Well that didn't take long. Roots already poking out the bottom of a couple of P. Dreadie Select. Neil Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk

I use a 180w UV LED. It doesn't help with hardening them off. I've burned the bejesus out of my plants more times than I care to admit. If you catch it early it doesn't hurt the plant, but it sure bruises my growers pride. Neil

Potted up a few plants the other day. It's sooner than I'd normally do it, but I'm going away for a few days and wanted to make sure that they'd last without drying up and dying on me. Sorry for the blurry pics. P. DREADIE Select BOC Also did a Red Bhut, but didn't take a picture...

A few more Chocolate Naga Brains started seed in a coffee filter then transfered to coir have popped. Also an update to the rest of my plants. Neil Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk

Glad to see you back for another season. I've cut my grow back this season as well. Neil Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk

Thanks Rick! Plants and roots seem to be progressing nicely. I pulled a BOC to see how things were going. Roots Neil Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk

I was in the process of moving a few BOC's and a Chocolate Nagabrain from plugs to coarse coir when I noticed a cup with a P. Dreadie seedling in it. I had given up on it thinking that it failed to fire. I put it up on the shelf and let it be. It's leggy, but I replanted it a bit deeper. I...

It looks like you're going to put them in soil once they get going. I haven't tried that yet. Are you going to continue with the hydro nutes after that? Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk

Going to watch and see how things go for you! Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk

I tend to agree with the coco being too coarse. I tried to mix a bit of the fine pith in with it all, but the only time things seem to start was after I put the peat plugs and the coir plugs into the dome and really raised the humidity. Even then I only had a few seeds sprout. I think I'll stick...

Thanks Rick! I've seen a few videos on the BOC's and it definitely looks like a good one. I've got a few more started as well. Seems like the coco and peat pucks are the best way for me to get things going. I haven't had all that much luck with the coco in a cup. Thinking this is about my best...

And my 1st Chocolate Nagabrain has sprouted. Looking forward to trying this one Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk

Thanks guys! I've scaled back my grow for this year. I still have a bunch of dried Bhut's so I'm really only going to focus on a few plants this year. It's also a bit of a hassle to run all the plants a city over so my parents can look after them while I'm away. I'm really looking forward to...

And the newest addition to this year's grow. A BOC that popped shortly after I have up. Neil Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk

    From the little I've read, chili plants do better when given 24 hour light for the first 5-7 weeks of life. After that they developed leaf chlorosis and drop leaves. At the same time I have read articles that say you can extend the light cycle beyond that, but there is a time where 24/7...
