  Safe travels!  Should be mostly rain down this way.  Work travel is great for 'speeding up' the germ process. :)

    Knock on wood - nothing too serious this winter.  The condensate pump on the furnace stopped and leaked water all over.  Outdoor frost free faucet started dripping so I had to repack it.  Water heater needs to be replaced at some point, but they installed the furnace in front of it.  Either...

  Too early to tell for me.  HID was great, one bulb.  If T8's and T5's are doing the job - I'd say stick with what works.  Tis the hand that moves and waters the dirt, not always the dirt.  ;)    But if you're looking to have fun.  Try a cheap LED panel. 

  Haha indeed.... uh oh... :cheers:   Safety first THP!  

  Thanks and yikes!  Did I start them too early?   :dance:

  Thank you!  I hope they continue to be happy.  The OW reaper lost some leaves when the heater became unplugged Thursday night and temps hit 45F.  It's a crybaby.  I'm only keeping it because it is so difficult to make happy.             Thanks!  Honestly I would still be using HID if the...

The last time I made chili was when I worked at Wendy's. I want to try an experiment this weekend with one of my frozen 1/2 butts.  Has anyone made chili with a smoked pork?  Where should I start?           P.S. I signed up for the office chili cook off next month, so I need to get my act...

Weekly update - waiting out the stall.    

  This place is the ROOT of all pepper humor.  It's amazing how many jokes can STEM from a single thread.

I remove the bag, but don't have a good reason why.  It certainly increases the risk of harming the roots if they have started to grow through it.  

I'm in - pick me pick me!  If chosen - I'll send a report with pictures.  Our local post office tends to beat on my boxes.  Is my nose brown... :)

I've had good luck with:    https://www.edenbrothers.com/   https://pepperjoe.com/   https://www.buckeyepepper.com/   https://juanitospeppers.com/     This is my first year trying Peppers By Mail, but so far so good. :)   http://www.peppersbymail.com      

    I've had good luck with Ocean Forest... very interested to see how Roots Organics does.  Their Green Fields is their direct competitor for Ocean Forest.  At least according to the really helpful guy at the grow shop.   I started two seeds each of the D3monic series.     D3vils Prick F3 #3 El...

    I've struggled with damping off.  I like your strategy.  I need to try to bottom water more.      Potted up 6 more.  I think that will do it for GDTD 2018.
