It would work but you would need a very large inverter, probably on the order of 1,000 Watts. This is if the refrigerator is rated for as little as 250 Watts since they draw several times their rated power when the compressor motor starts up, even if for only a second or two. the fridge listed...

I'd give it both Mg & Ca in low doses just to be sure (previous post suggests CalMag and I concur). Flush that solo cup with plain water first in case you've got a little too much of something building up salt-wise. Personally I'd make the feeding solution 1/2 strength whatever you've been...

Did they say where in Afghanistan he is deploying? Any chance it is the Helmand province? If so, a buddy of mine is headed there soon as well. I will be thinking of your son and wish him the best!

I'm trying a batch of your sauce this weekend - looks fantastic! Thank you very much for posting it. Heat-wise I'm doing a half-batch and will probably use an Habanero and a Bih Jolokia. Something is definitely getting fired up on the grill on Sunday afternoon. Perhaps with a refreshing beverage...

Actually working on the website now along with all technical documents. Even finished up my logo on Illustrator which came out looking nice. As soon as i get these pieces in place I'll definitely be posting about it on here. In the meantime, it should be a busy weekend as there is a lot to do...

I'm actually thinking of starting to sell refined versions of these bags/tubes since they work very well. Here's my idea: The idea is to sell a kit that includes the base tubes, which are like most fabric pots but they breathe a lot better and are completely UV resistant for outdoor/greenhouse...

I make this sometimes. It's a little more complicated but very, very good. 2 shallots 4 cloves garlic 1 cup Thai basil 1/2 cup mint 1/2 cup cilantro 5-10 Thai chilis - I use 5-8 "Charlotte peppers" or 1 jolokia, 1 hab and 2 serranos 3 stalks lemongrass, white part only 1 TB sugar 2 TB lime...

Use a piece of 1" or 2" thick extruded polystyrene insulation (pink board). Heat naturally rises but if you put your heat mat on top of the XPS, that will hugely slow the conductance into the (I'm assuming) wooden table. I start all my seedlings on top of insulation with my cheap...

Glacial acetic acid. That's how they make it at the factory. Most vinegar is ~5%. Glacial is almost 100%. That way you can make vinegar in any strength you want. Some food supply houses, chem supply and biodiesel outlets have it. Definitely use caution when handling - goggles are a must. Here's...

These work for me and they're pretty cheap. I re-use 'em too. Results are huge plants, huge yields and transplanting, if desired is as easy as placing the "bags" on top of whatever I want to transplant them into. Underneath there's a particular capillary fabric which makes watering really...

Iron phosphate works miracles. Organic as well (OMRI listed) but despite the label, be careful if you have pets. Though they say it is safe around edibles, I keep it well away from the root zones. Think it goes by the name Slug-O or something. this year there seem to be quite a few here in PA...

Want to start an international seed thread to see how many participants we could get?

Quite possible. We have a couple things going in our favor. 1. These are not illegal seeds. Big plus there. If a package gets seized for phytosanitary reasons, it isn't a big deal and no one gets in trouble 2. These are not invasive species. See above for not getting in trouble over it 3. They...

Wow! Didn't know there were so many Padron fans on here. They are truly magical and I'm really excited about growing them this year. The way I've had them was seared at very high heat for probably ~60 seconds in saute pan with ollive oil. They were hit with a generous sprinkling of finishing...

I know they are not spicy but I've got 30 seedlings I plan on putting out in a couple weeks. My experience has mostly been superhots and I aas wondering if anyone has had experience with them to see if there are any major cultural differences. My reason for growing them is that I once had them...

How much is he charging for the plants? Thanks!

Have you ridden the new Yamaha V-Max? It's insane. Even the old one was insane. Makes all the right sounds and very low maintenance (my old 'Max only needed valve adjustments every ~25,000 miles). This is an odd one, but after a decade of superfast bikes ('04 Hayabusa was probably the fastest)...

One on the left is a Butch T, one on the right is a Chocolate Hab. Lookin' good! These sprouted about 6 weeks ago and are only getting about 20 watts/SF under 11 or so hours of light. Nothing too fancy but tried and true - homemade nutrients based off the old Le Chatelier formula with some...

I'm based out of Franklin County (Mercersburg). Seems to be a lot of chili-heads around these parts! :dance:
