I will post the link tonight; I got it bookmarked at home. The other researches I've read basically say when the pod is mature and at the turning point (when color start to change) is when the pepper is at it's peak. I believe this is even truer with habanero, they have a wonderfully different...

I've said before maximum heat is at maturity when the color starts to change. ********************* If you like your peppers hot, don't pick them before or after their time. A new chemistry analysis confirms that the amount of hot flavor in the pepper is determined by how long the pepper has...

Wow these thing look so cool. Did you see the picture on wiki? looks like tepins :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfberry

I'm confused you're looking for T12 F40 right? You can buy cheap ones (2$ each)at any DIY store most of them have the kelvin rating on the box. You can also put a CFL in the socket for extra light. HID lights need a mogul socket not a regular size socket.

Mike I'm never going to steal your peppers :shocked: I did some research and found out that the resign needs to be processed by lots of chemicals before it turns out to form drug so even if a teenager sneaks into my backyard to steal my plants he won't be able to get high. Bad news is I don't...

I saw a show last night that talked about poppy. Not knowing what they were, I order some poppy seeds a few months back thinking these would make nice flowers for the garden. I think I ordered some Poppy 'Giganteum' that's right the one grown in Afghanistan and Iran. They said it is legal to...

T5 is 35$, Actinic tube 25$. Way to expensive but I wanted to try them. You can find T8 and T12 actinic tubes at aquarium shops for about 20$.

Test your tap water first.At ph 7.0 you should be fine. For some reason my tap water is at 7.5 but last year when I tested my tap water it was at 7.0 dunno if the fact that it's winter has anything to do with it or if the water cie screwed up. I'll keep testing.

Great looking plants! I find that hps makes the plants grow way to big. They grew to over 4' tall and I had to keep cutting them back. I then used an HPS and a T5 with an actinic bulb and that worked great. Internodal spacing was significantly reduced.

looking good! What's the medium it's growing in?

With some cheaper coir you need to wash out the salt. With the premium coir , It's already done for you. You do need to buy special coir hydro fert( that's what I used ) that contains extra micro nutrients because the coir adsorbs alot before releasing it. PH guide http://www.simplyhydro.com/ph.htm

That's what I'm thinking. this year with coir I had all kinds of problems likely to be nutrient deficiency. Damn it I should have adjusted my ph back then. But my stupid cheap ph pen broke. I just bought a new one. FYI don't by this crap it breaks too easily.The guy at the hydro shop warned...

When I did Ebb & Flow hydro last year I had good success. This year total crap out with coco coir. The major difference was with hydro, I would adjust the ph to 5.5-6.0. With coco coir I didn't bother adjusting the ph.:banghead: I took a reading of my tap water and it's at 7.5-7.7 with 134ppm...

I had the exact same symptoms earlier this year. unfortunately I destroyed all my plants a few weeks later after a red spider mite infestation. Well that wasn't helpful.:( keep us posted I'm really curious what the problem is.

Man I love that lightstand. That's a vintage one for sure. You can tell it's an older model because it's got a regular bulb socket. If my memory is correct back in the good old days they used to supplement fluorescent light with regular bulbs or halogen because the old fluorescent tubes only...

Is it just me or did this sound like an erotic proposition.. Ok enogh drink tonight going to bed:oops::cheers:

AHA! You're using the crazy Aussie pepper growing method.

ROFLMAO! I wanted to plant 16 now I have 61! I thought I was bad :)

1$ for 5 gallon containers .Damn I need to shop around more! I need to grow in containers because I'm moving in the house at the end of April.The previous owner did not have a garden and since I plan a major rework of the yard, I don't want to build anything permanent this year.
