1. Maybe. and yes. 2. Pray. 3. Eggs hatched in your potted plants.   As a preventative, raise predatory bugs (lady bugs my fave----cheap)   Pyretherin is my goto bug spray. Doesn't persist in the plant.

Hmmm. This year---from aerogarden to 4" pots, straight cheap potting soil. Straight H2O till well developed 2nd set of leaves. Alternating waterings with straight water, and a hydro mix of Sensei Grow. Allowing to droop before watering---from the bottom, BTW.   Haven't killed or burnt any. (yet)...

"Average Consumer"?   In the general consumer market, it seems "gag" foods (in both senses of the word) for the serious heat lover are pathetic. The Cheeto's have a niche, as do a few sauces.   But once you get your chile freak on, most seem to either make their own concotions or trade/buy from...

Yup. But @ $200+ ea, and I would need 4 or 6 and the spinner @ $399, still a bit pricy. https://www.hydrofarm.com/p/KSHP360

@ work a vendor talked the company into replacing their 1kw MH lights (my machine had 8 of them) with LED's. Holy cow. They are blinding. Complaints they are too bright.   Trying to finagle an employee discount.   As for wavelength---white with blue tinge, likely good for veg, IMHO.   Still in...

I just know when I throw a couple in chinese food, it just seems right. ;)

HazMat permit costs too much to ship. :hell:

Growing them for years----but who knows what the seed vendor I got them from actually sent?   But when short, they look like Thai Dragon, when long pods, Thai Hazelwood. When long, mine tend to curl a bit. May be how I grow them.

Canned a couple pints of "hot sauce base" last week.   Peppers, vinegar, cumin, salt, cilantro and tomatoe paste.   Kept a half pint out for dipping. :fireball:   Some will get added to BBQ sauce for hot wings, some will be toned down for "warm sauce", some will go into chili (no beans), some...

Yup. New ones aren't your grandma's old cookers. I even have a "pressure smoker".   I also had one blow as a kid, but it was just the rubber relief valve and made a mess on the ceiling. (and floor, and walls)   Though I don't fear them, I do watch them at all times when using.   I don't trust...

66 starts in the aerogarden 7,  36 in a 6, make your own out of a styrofoam cooler lid for cheap. But $22 (currently) with the sponges isn't bad, and mine is on it's 3rd season and just had to buy sponges the last 2.

AeroGarden with the starter kit. Plain water first fill, mix a gallon of fert and top up with that when low. Stick seeds in pre-soaked sponge till just covered. 24 hr light till first true leaves and no domes. Small fan on them after sprouting, till transplant.   On sale now, or used on Ebay for...

Still the same temps, sure. But volitiles escape more rapidly at a lower atmospheric pressure.   I guess I could cook in my still, capture and condense the steam, and add it back later.

And now to blow your mind.   Boiling temp @ my altitude is 202 degrees. So all other temps required are (atmospherically) "hotter" than the actual number on the thermometer by a certain ratio.   Keep the same temps as required? Increase time? Lower temp?   I have already figured the yeast...

you can get 65k grow bulbs for a t8. 2ea 4' x4,6 or 8 bulbs will do you just fine, as you already have the fixtures. A bit shy if they are 2 bulb fixtures and you use all 3, but possible if you are meticulously regulating the distance from light to plants.   More light fixtures is better if you...
