yeah I'm with you. it was funny though. decisions, decisions. If you really want one to flourish I would go with hacking off the stem right at the roots of one of them, or just let them grow together in that 5 gallon. 5 gallons is still a fair size and can support a lot more than we...

love seeing pics of the new pods. bishops crown are definitely some cool pods once they get going.

awesome garden. truly impressive. hard to think that you'll get better harvests than last year, but by the looks of things you'll be dominating 09.

lol. it's funny because it's true.

Patrick. Damn, I've been following your progress since day 1 this year so I almost took this personally. But when you think about how many leaves and major branches that are still to come, losing a bunch early on may not look pleasing but those beasts will be back in no time for sure. Like...

i use small stakes because I find that usually I don't need to rely on them too much and if I do as long as the main part of the stem is supported they'll be stabilized. my stakes are only about a foot out of the ground (and 1 foot in the ground)....more than enough to support the stem from...

those stem leaves are a sure sign of winner plants. healthy looking and soon to be very productive plants Patrick!

i used pro-mix BX exclusively up until and including 2 gallon pots. now outside with the quantity of large pots I have to fill I mixed it with peat and tri/multi mix (primarily peat and compost) to see what results I get and try and make the BX last a bit longer. A bale runs out fast and I've...

Considering Pro Mix BX is 75 - 85% peat moss I'd be hesitant to say that peat is something to worry about although if it dries out I agree it can get crusty. To me your mix sounds pretty good. Quite a bit of bone meal though. How is the drainage/density? That would be my main concern. Are...

20-20-20 water soluable fertilizer with micro nutrients. And sheep manure spread around the plants once outdoors. works well for me.

I had some serious ant mounds as well last year and this year. I bought this product and it took care of business pretty quickly. It's a white powder that you just spread over the hills.

oh yeah, 5 - 6 hours of sunlight is great. You'll get some great plants from that won't even have to rely on flourescent lights. You could set some of the lights up that you already have as an additional source, but the sun will take care of business for you. you won't have any problems...

hey patrick, I think if you bring in a plant that's been growing outdoors you'll have less success keeping it growing the same indoors. Kind of like an opposite of hardening off because it has to adapt to different environment. If you start the plant indoors and keep it that way you'll get...

The pic looks like a halloween mask to me. half the women in northern ontario look like that as well so I wouldn't rule it out.

yeah that pod was intense. a great way to end the unknown anticipation of the yellow bhut. lived up to every ideal expectation. Can't wait to do the choc bhut test as well. it's already starting out as a killer year and it's not even June yet!

after trying that pod tonight at Madhatters I gotta say, he's got a pure winner here. As hot as the red bhut (or very close), and had that yellow citrusy smell and taste to it. Very impressed to say the least. The burn/sting lasted for quite a while. Definitely a bhut. And you should see...

definitely possible. a bunch of my plants this year had quite a few pods on them before they saw the light of day. That was with regular 32 or 40watt T-5/T-8 flourescent tube lights (daylight and gro-light just like yours). There's obvious sacrifices you'll be making to overall production /...

ha ha, I was loving that too. "super-bhut"! Pepper Joe missed his chance to TM his Giant Bhut and look what happened! I guess if you're just looking for some bhut seeds though, the price is alright for 25 seeds.

things are coming along great Patrick. I use stakes on almost all as well, both tied and not tied depending on what the plant seems to need. At this stage I don't want strong winds getting the best of them. Hopefully you find some time soon to get things into their full time homes. Then...

one of the best voices in metal! a true icon.
