Cheers!

I found a few of these interesting pens for a dollar on the clearance aisle of a common cgrocery and department chain store. They are called The Tire Pen and come in a few colors. I have yellow, red and white. These pens are designed to write on car tires. The paint is UV stable and doesn't...

I suspect that this brand or batch of crushed red pepper is not viable. The red pepper they came in was purchased several years ago and not stored well insofar as seeds are concerned. Either the batch is too old or the method of production involves high temps that kill the seeds. A couples...

I don't have any first hand experience breeding Capsicum for strong capsaicin content but this topic interests me. I have been meaning to address this topic in a few regards and rather than make several posts over time I decided to make a single large post covering most of my thoughts and...

Good information!  

It really doesn't get more accurate and informative than does the ↑ above post (#15) by acs1. My advice is to follow that advice.

I tend to use what I have on hand... for example: I eat a lot of Winco yogurt that comes in containers that are close to 32 fluid ounces in volume. I drill 3 5mm holes in these white polypropylene ♷ containers and use them like (slightly smaller)#1 pots in a nursery. I used 75 of these...

I grew Cannabis in years past but not since 2013. Do you have any photos of two plants of the same type side by side with one topped and one not for comparison? How much did yields increase above normal?

Good morning on this All Hallows day. It's one of my favorite sacred days, from sunrise today to dawn tomorrow.

I think so but I drank heavily for years and although I still officially drink I have not had a drink since 2016 and am not even tempted to drink. I really enjoyed brewing and grew my own wild collected hops as well. One of my friends that I gave hops cuttings to and brewed beer with because a...

For me; it depends on many factors and without more information on the strain, media, light source, fertilizer and other similar factors no ideal default size for containers exists.

Topping and super-cropping can increase yields with Cannabis. But often the yield per area goes up as the yield per area per a given unit of time goes down. Many Cannabis indoor growing practises involve longer growing times to increase yields. The math can show some diminishing returns...

Although I know that with many plants this type of pruning decreases overall yield the quality of the yield generally increases. Many growers of many plants use this method. Roses, grapes, berries, Cannabis etc. By thinning the growth, removing the weakest and lowest growth while leaving the...

Decreasing the tissue that can harvest photons cannot increase the amount of photons harvested. Although Cannabis oriented the information contained in numerous videos by Apogee Instruments addresses this quite well including in terms of spectra as that green light photons penetrating...

I use ageless oxygen absorber packets with stored seeds to increase their shelf life in sealed containers. If I could I would store them in argon gas.

^ What he said. As long as the conditions are right for growth they rarely need pruning or rest. However some forms are more indeterminate than others and those that are more determinate tend to do best when pruned to help regenerate them. This mostly applies to dwarf C. annuum ornamental...

I was wrong... The word genre means type or kind and the proper word for me to have used would have been genres, the plural of genre and thus meaning "types" or "kinds"... genera was not the correct word. I apologize for my confusion about this. My mistake. Thank you Pr0digal_son for bringing...

I frequently plant Capsicum species seeds immediately after drying and they germinate rapidly if and when they are viable. With some other plants fresh seed should be planted before it dries because drying induces a dormancy that must be ended before the seeds will germinate however that is not...

You are right, the word changed from genre to genera although in archaic use genre literally means genus. I end up using a lot of Latin words and forget to use the modern anglo versions of them. I read too many old texts.

For the record I was certified as a professional in the green industry in Utah 25 years ago and have experience growing dozens of different genre of plants in several climates, States, elevations and USDA zones as well as indoors and in greenhouses. My nickname amongst people IRL is Plant Man...
