    HID old school vs. LED

    I like LEDS,1 watt that I built. I don't understand the stuff about lighting these days. LEDS work best FOR MY GROW. Halides WOULDN"T WORK for ME/my grow.   I see Leds as getting a LOT cheaper these days. They PUT out specific NM. of light,IN  LM, numbers that are as high as Halides. BUT in more...

    seeds Please, help me identify what is on my seedlings, a how to bring them back to health

    I think when I had what looks like your pics,I had a Humidity problem. Not over watering as much as air movement in where your starts are at. Blotches usually,FOR MY GROW is a Fungus or whatever. Any mold looking stuff on your soil?   Try putting a fan in the room,wherever... I don't like a fan...

    How long before you throw in the towel?

    NEVER toss a starter out! Do start another batch. I've had seeds covered with mold sprout MONTHS after I gave up on them. Mother Nature rules,sometimes she messes around and things are different. I grow in up to 4 1/2 in. pots these days. Cells suck. Too much hassle not destroying new starts and...

    Pepper ID please

    Looks like possibly a Black Namaqualana or Black Manaqualana. One,I forget which is a large Banana looking pepper,but the other looks JUST like your pics. Both ripe are red with a marbled black on the pods.   I have Both outside now.No pods,just buds. Too lazy to go through my seeds right now to...

    chinense Bih Jolokia

    Back in the day,I saw Bih Jolokia as a hotter version than Naga Morich. The WHAT is now called ASSAM BHUT was HOTTER THAN THE BHUT JOLOKIA. AT THE TIME.   Bih Jolokia was kinda like a go between type pepper.   As Prolific as Morich but as good tasting but hotter.   But since Super Hot Mania and...

    pests What are these bugs?

    http://homeguides.sfgate.com/apply-canola-oil-pesticide-76135.html   Must shake it up often as the oil separates as you spray.   Go to U.C. Davis website for Canola oil tests on different bad guys. They had a list of comparison tests for different oils,Canola was , in general the best...   Also...

    Weird stuff under Douglah plant leaves

    Is your grow in a tent/enclosed area? Might be more due to humidity than over watering. I had a problem years ago with my grow. I first stopped watering but then plants got more messed up. I put a fan in the room and the problem dissapeared. It was I THINK cause be no windows in my grow area but...

    Brazilian Malagueta???

    Though the Malagueta that I have that is larger,I don't think it is a Frutescence but an Annuum. Landrace? See the African and other versions-most I've grow look Annuum to me. I grew several this last year under different names. Called Frutescens,but I think are Annuums. Resemble Zimbabwe bird...

    Tips for growing Manzanos?

    Try Ecuador Hot. Fast setting and ripening time. Grows small pods like bunches of grapes but bigger.   I think root space and warm soil in my pots is an issue. True 20 gal.+ pots will give you a hedge full of pods. Mine fruit and grow in southern exposure-get sun burned pods...fruit in early...

    Brazilian Malagueta???

    I only know what I've grown,there are different versions-as I posted in the link. There IS a difference in Land Race stuff. Name means little in general,only a starting point. I don't disagree with them ALL originating from the same pepper as far as name goes. I DO think that there are LAND RACE...

    Growing Hops

    I like fresh dried hops a LOT better than pellets etc. But it was way to much work messing with vines that grew up to my roof and -even if they put out a few flowers per foot,it was more than I or my buddies could use.Lots of work too. As you can see by my hops selection,I like brewing...

    Growing Hops

    They can be VERY invasive! Also growing conditions change their taste or whatever. I grew Hallertauer , Tettanger , Saaz , willamette ,cascade and some northern ca. or oregan variety (a US version of a European hops). Stuff is like Ivy,Have to kill the roots... It was COOL at first,But when the...

    Problem with Jamaican Hot Chocolate

    Jamaican Hot Chocolate IS a great pepper! Lost these days +/- due to super hot mania and crosses. When I've grown them they were bullet proof.   Don't kill it with love.   Might be a PH problem. OR a mix of too high a Mag. or Ca. problem. I see a lot of Ca. Mag. problems due to PH or overdosing...

    Alien implant?

    I think it is some kind of device that Homeland Security planted. You are probably on the watched list for growing Weapons grade super hots. LOL   Probably has a GPS thing connected to Satalite imaging etc. They know what plants you get more pods from and where ALL your plants are at-each one...

    Brazilian Malagueta???

    I  believe,since my original source was from Portugal,The different names and Countries they came from are from the old trade routes...Portugal's trade routes. Probably the same pepper that became a Landrace over the years. In several different countries.   Add to that,Vendors calling stuff...

    The smell of charcoal

    Update for London Broil/Top Round   Finally thawed out in the Fridge. Rubbing one down with just salt and Pepper - Maybe a bit of coriander to get a semi Pastrami type taste (yes it even works on full 15+ lb. chunks of Chuck). The chunks I'm using though aren't as fatty as chuck...not even...

    SFRB now approaching $7.00 shipping

    I'd guess,weight for me is the deciding factor. Sometimes size though... I have stuff that weighs little that would be cheaper via regular mail than using a large flat rate one. BUT when I send out 20 Lbs. + of LED panels,you can't beat flat weight. I think,they let you send up to 50 or 70 lbs...

    Yes, there is Winter in Florida

    I'm sucking these days-aren't picking pods as fast as they  ripen.... I still have 1/3rd of my plants with ripe pods on them. I'm now cutting branches off to harvest the pods. NEVER grow mostly Frutescense. A gazillion pods per plant sucks!

    Flint Michigan and Children's Protective Services

    As you just said,I posted as I did because I also think water bills have nothing to do with child neglect.   BUT I would turn my back IF child services needed an Excuse to move kids from a bad place or...and had to use a water thing to check out the kids living conditions etc. There is no excuse...

    Flint Michigan and Children's Protective Services

    Not paying your water bill or other utilities is totally different than having nasty water to drink. And refusing to drink it-which may include it being turned off due to ANYONE refusing to pay the bill for poison...   Your post I Think is a mix of apples and oranges.   IF a person can't pay all...
