Hahaha to funny I just answered your question in your own thread.....be as nosy as you like it's why where here to learn and save someone eles the trouble of failing.
Oh and I said around $1000 dollars but that's Canadian. You can get everything I have cheaper in the states. It cost me $265 for...
Dave has it right....if you go with T5's they will produce enough heat to warm the soil to 86F and the air above the canopy will be 90F. You will want a fan for all the reasons Dave said plus to cool down the canopy a little bit. My T5 8 bulbs put out enough heat to bring up the temp in my...
Watermelons are growing nicely. All 4 plants have melons on them. These have also been under the T5 HO lights for 1 month and I now have them under a sunblaster CFL.
Time for a 1 month update. My peppers have been under the Enviro Gro T5 HO 4 ft 8 bulb lights with AgroBrite High Output 54w 6400K bulbs for 1 month now and Im super pleased with the growth that Im seeing. This is my first grow so people with more experience will have to comment on the quality...

Im basically at the point wear im out of room to keep all 50 pepper plants I really want to keep them but that would mean buying 50 containers that are about 1.5L and repoting all the peppers. I really think 50 is over kill and I should just pick my best 20 and repot into my 4.5L pots I have...
Micro Maxx organics XP (compost perlite and lots of good stuff)40L bag
Coco peat (coconut husk)40L bag
Vermiculite (half the volume of the coco)
some sulfur powder(little spinkle)
Some Epsom salt(little sprinkle)
This is the mix that im using in my winter grow. Then once you have 4 true leaves...
Thanks Virgil Cane Im enjoying the grow immensely. As for the bike it's most likely a write off. But it's a miracle I didn't get more injured or killed. Would have been a shame not to get to see my peppers pod out. Im running out of room to keep all 50 pepper plants under my lights cause I...
Here is an update on the winter grow. The watermelons are coming along nicely and I'll have to get them supported soon. Im going to move them out under there own CFL so I can spread out the peppers.
I have two on this one plant which I might prune one off so the plant can focus on the one...
Do you use organic fertilizer to try and keep up the nutrients in the soil it's planted in? Cause as long as it's getting the nutrients it needs would you get more and better yields the a new plant starting out? I seen this post from a guy that kept a fatalie plant for 7 years and he kept bring...
Watermelon update as soon as I get home. Had a minor setback on Tuesday. I man decided he could pull out in front of me and I ended up in an ambulance. Lucked out with road rash bushing and 4 broken ribs so I'll get a grow update up in a couple days.
With a pepper update as well cause that's...
I used MicroMaxx XP, Coco, vermiculite added a little sulphur powder and a sprinkle of empson salts and my seedings look nice like your ;) but I didnt add any 0-0-0.
This pic was before I started my organic ferts.
Its in a 16oz solo cup.
Yeah I have another 4 ft 8 tube and I plan on only keeping 20 plants 10 under each light in 6 liter pots till I move them outside in spring. Hope to get a good head start for next season.
I only planted this many peppers cause I didn't think I'd get this many to germinate. I wanted to make sure...
