2017-10-15: The HPS is installed (I acquired a 400w and 250w because I have no experience with these things and didn't want toaster oven temps and crispy plants, but I did want to raise temps a couple of Cs..it's the 250W I'm running)     2017-10-16: The first purple cayenne seed is up in a...

2017-10-14:   The transplants are being fed with PH 6,5 water and micro& primary nutrients via B'Essentials and FloraNova, respectively. I am watering every fourth to fifth day; when the top layer of substrate gets dry. They have survived the transplant but are looking a bit patchy.   At the...

Two days later I had a grow tent and 2 75W LEDs and made the transplant. There was a lot of soil everywhere and the large plant retained some as I put them in a 75%/25% perlite/vermiculite mix. Ventilation comes via a channel fan (blowing out) as this is apparently required for ventilation in a...

I recognize the orange.. I've installed a 250W HPS now and temps are ranging between 24 and 28C. TBG: That...

Thanks for the warning in regards to humidity. I know from keeping rainforest bird spiders that it can be a fine line. I will certainly attempt to read up on flower drop and temp/RH.   A HPS will draw a certain amount of power and output it into primarily light and heat. Since I shall need both...

Thanks all for your replies and welcomes!   Capcom: Ah, then lack of humidity might have been the downfall of the window sill flowers.  A higher temperature equals a higher humidity potential so a HPS seems like a good idea for its reported effectiveness at bloom (and the dual ones are supposed...

Hi, this seems like a knowledgeable forum : )   If this was asked prior or is in the wrong place then feel free to move it. --   I've tried growing chili plants on a window sill previously, they seemed to do okay and grew beautiful flowers that I tried to hand pollinate to no avail as they...
