Thanks! Adding the LEDs seriously helped. I just put a third LED light in the middle so I'm hoping for more flowers and fruiting soon.

Some new pics taken today:    

Totally get it. It applies to everything, building anything, making anything, growing anything. There is nothing more satisfying and rewarding than growing something from a seed or taking a bunch of scrap wood and turning it into something beautiful or taking the most random of ingredients and...

What is your typical room temp? If it is in the 70s and you have the pad on there, it could be excessive. All my plants are happy between the 70-76 range. Plus you'll save $$ on electricity!

Can also heat a soldering iron and poke a bunch of holes. I usually do one hole in the middle, then 2 or 3 more holes to be on the safe side. I do not double cup it because my surface is fine with getting wet. I also use a spray bottle on my seedlings so there isn't an absurd amount of water.

Does anyone know how long aji pineapples take to ripen? I have a BUNCH of green ones hanging out and they've been hanging out for a while. I just want to eat them! The pequins and scorpions are ripening already.

I really want that Finex pan; it looks really nifty. I am having a hard time justifying the price tag though, especially when I have a stack of awesome CI that has been in my family for over 50 years!

When my grandmother died, I found a stack of cast iron in her basement when we were cleaning out her house. They were woefully neglected and covered in dust and grime. I spent a day removing everything and re-seasoning them. This is the end result. Every one of them, with the exception of the...

Ok, plants are doing phenomenally well! The aji pineapple has easily 10 bigger peppers on it and the scorpion and pequin are starting to get more and more, about 4-6 on each. The peruvian white hab is really close to getting fruits on it, bunch of flowers but nothing quite yet.    The one major...

And we have peppers! The Aji Pineapple started first, followed by the brown moruga scorpion and then the pequins. Waiting on the white habs to fruit, though they're getting flowers on them. The bullet hab plant isn't doing anything yet other than small flowers, I bet in another month or so it'll...

Happy with the seeds I got and how quickly they arrived but I'm a touch frustrated with the fact that I ordered a couple packs of mixed lettuce seeds and all the different seeds are mixed together; no way to differentiate between what is what. Small complaint but arg. Customer service is good...

Nothing yet, but methinks close! Those LED lights made a huge difference; the plants were just growing foliage under the T5 and sunlight, but within a week of having the LEDs they started exploding with buds and flowers. I'm hoping they'll start setting in a couple weeks. We shall see! on...

I have started multiple peppers in my aerogarden. I think you may be putting the seeds too deep. I also use the little peat cones that go into the conical baskets that shipped with the aerogarden. I always push them in juusssssst so you can't see them. Never had it take more than a week to...

Been a bit of time since I had a chance to post, been pretty darn busy. Plants are growing along nicely, though! Several people said the interior of the greenhouse would get cramped as the plants grow. They were 100% right! Not to mention, I left the bullet hab in the middle (above) in the...

I have to say, I found the scorpion to be much hotter than the reaper. I like the taste of the scorpion more, though.

Coming from New England, coffee is something I cannot do without. If I haven't had my coffee in the morning, watch out! We moved to NC about a year ago and people just don't get the coffee right down here. It is never as strong as I'd like it to be. Of all the coffee machines I have used, I love...

Haha, thanks! It was a lot of fun to build. I need another light but everything is growing quite well! I ended up taking foam blocks and putting them above the fans, against the wall, cut down the vibration noise almost completely.

Yes, would love an update! I find this to be very interesting.

Can you explain what LST is for this n00b? Those plants look fantastic and it'd be cool to emulate that. I have never seen wires holding branches down the way those are, very neat! Also, what type of light are you using? LEDs for the desired spectrums, right?

I also would go with the brown moruga. I have space for 5 plants and understand the space plight (cursed apartment living). I picked the scorpion, Peruvian white hab, bullet hab, pequin and aji pineapple. I particularly like the brown moruga because it tastes good, then it hits you with the...
