I just placed an order with this company because of the positive feedback at the forum. We'll see how it turns out.

The seedling above was sold as Chocolate Bhutlah. Above are more Chocolate Bhutlah seedlings looking rather uniform with a couple of peculiar exceptions. Above you can see the different look of Capsicum seedlings. From the left to the right there are 4x Farmers Choice Habanero, 8X Tabasco X...

I'm starting this Grow-Log space now and will shortly be adding content to it. I will initially be adding content to this first post as a work-in-progress. - D1, ornamental annuum, fig.1 Fig.2 Purple, Dwarf, Up fruit... Suspected to be a form of Black Prince from NMCPI. Obtained from a...

I like catnip tea. I used to have severe stomach pain, it was debilitating to the point I could not even stand up. It has occurred several times in my life but mostly when I was younger and since I stopped drinking booze it hasn't returned. When I was around 20 years old I found catnip tea...

The first thing I do when trouble-shooting things this is check the roots. A surprising amount of leaf issues directly correlate to root issues. If the problem is over-watering, which is arguably the most common cause of issues with plants in containers, then the roots will not be crisp and...

In terms of light schedule Capsicum is not known to be affected by a dark period and it can thrive without a dark period at all. I keep a low power LED on 24/7 for young seedlings. I currently use a 5/3 5/3 5/3 light/dark period with my own indoor grow for a total of 15 hours light and 9 hours...

I'm glad I'm far from the only mad scientist around these parts.

No. Pu-butt can invent any name and claim it is an ingredient and all the FDA requires is that there is a pepper in the sauce. For a company with a history of renaming the work of others as their own this works well as a marketing ploy. They know they don't have to invent a pepper, just a...

Diallel crosses are used frequently because A x B is frequently distinct from B x A and not just in terms of crosses between species where one direction of the cross produces fertile seeds and the other doesn't. This is true for a great many types of plants. I've grown out many cacti hybrids...

I have been reading a ton of old threads and I found it odd that nobody in this particular thread answered the question. The answer is of course that male sterility is used to create enormous batches of F1 seed in controlled conditions. By using male sterile parental lines an entire...

Hi!

That smaller CMH bulb and wattage is not particularly efficient and the specs for COB LEDs of similar wattage are considerably better. While in comparison to CMH lights LEDs just don't produce the same results that doesn't mean that LED lighting cannot grow healthy plants. Ironically using...

You haven't seen the word genre describe plants because the word genre doesn't describe anything. It literally means type or kind. If you say you listen to several genres of music you are not making a description, rather you are saying you listen to different kinds of music. The only basic...

The APS order arrived in the mail today. The seeds look to be in excellent condition and I received Portokolova Fifironka seeds as my (free) APS customers loyalty appreciation package item.

I keep forgetting to mention the photoschedule I am using for the indoor grow box. The 24 hour period is broken up into 3 sets of 5 hours on and 3 hours off for a total of 15 hours of light and 9 hours of dark. It is experimental to some degree but I have read that the duration of light and...

The information on Lotah Bih's role in the origin of the super-hot phenotypes is not widely known or even commonly available in the English language so far as I know. If I am not mistaken some of the Thai peppers I purchased this summer also had what appeared to be a thin inner lining of...

I could be mistaken but I believe that neem oil preparations do have some content that acts as a surfactant, which is why neem oil contains both hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules in a mixture. That being said I often use a small amount of liquid soap to help things mix and stick better...

You aren't wrong however green light photons have been shown to penetrate through leaves and personally I find the green tinted filtered light beneath the canopies of certain trees to be quite pleasant. Certainly a percentage of the green light that reaches leaves is reflected but it usually is...

I am not aware of any CMH of a lower wattage than 315. There are some extremely good Chip On Board (COB) LED lights in lower wattage than 315. A 10 watt COB can produce as many as 5000 lumens and COB lights can be found in 5000k color temperatures with a CRI of 90 although the CRI value is...

I've been using a small grow tent to raise cacti seedlings using 84 watts of LEC or CMH light per square foot with a Sun Systems 315 watt Light Emitting Ceramic grow light and bulb. The high light intensity and high temperature of my grow tent were ideal for cacti but when I put a few Capsicum...
