To me Agave Necter tastes like Mrs Butterworths pancake syrup. Honey tastes- well, good. Sorry, I'm not being much help. I have a very unsophisticated pallet.

Ants farm aphids. They will carry aphids to new plants and herd them like cows for the dew the aphids produce. So you also treat for ants.

part of the systemic problem is the ants. Treat for the ants as well.

Photoperiodism is spectrum dependant because both short-day and long-day period plants produce phytochromes which absorb red spectra light and are converted to a different form. The phytochromes revert or are changed back to their previous state during the night cycle. The amount of a...

Peppers are not photoperiod depandant. They veg and bloom simultaneously. They will do best under full spectrum daylight lamps.

You don't need 2700k lamps unless you are growing an herb type product. Peppers grow best with full spectrum light. They are not photoperiodical. Use 6500K lamps in all the fixtures. Don't forget a fan, even CFLs produce heat.

Thanks Balzac, that is actually what i was looking for. Looks like I need to go chat with a brewing bio prof i know and his wife who worked as a chemist for Bacardi, for a little help.

On the successful ones the water/fluid that separated due to the salt, finished clear. On the failures it stayed hazy. All bubbled away. Never had any mold grow in any of them. I would like to find a standard fermenter (critter, not container) that will do the job but not create such a...

yes and how do they taste again?...

Good luck to you. Did you overwinter your hydro plants?

Thanks. My ingredient list was/is simple. Datils, salt, starter. Bhuts, salt, starter. 7Pots, salt, starter. Rinse and repeat the first 2 for the onse that failed but the starter was live/active probiotics. The 1st 3 were in qt mason jars, the last to were in gallon rubbermaids. All began...

Alright my 1st 3 mashes were aparantly successful, they all smell sweet, fruity and hot. My last 2 developed a rotten egg smell and they went into the compost pile. My problem or concern is that the 3 successfull ones (datil, bhut, 7pot) all have that same sweetish taste which I am guessing is...

Abomonations! Vile creations! Heresy! Heresy! Gather the pitchforks and torches!!! Never was there such a Datil till someone crossed it with a Jalapeno. Vile evil polluted things!

The Tomato formula which I use for the hydro, mixes at 1200ppm. The peppers love it. when I do bucket changes I use it on the potted peppers. They love it too. During the winter I do cut back to 25% cause I don't want huge growth, to get damaged in case of a freeze.

Well, a few of us were sitting around not to far back and cut up a datil and described it. The descriptions went: fruity, sweet, earthy, uncsious(which I never could get a better explanation for), jasminey, honeysuckley, cottencandy... HOT. when you are cutting them open, you definatly can...

he is the 99%...

The Super Datil is an abomination. Hybridization with a Datil, and then pretending the genetic offspring is any type of Datil is an affront to the pepper Gods. Sacrelige! Heathens! Heresy! The largest familial enclave of Minorcans is about 30 miles north of St. Augustine, is in Palm Vally...

Use Dolomite Lime, it is CaMg Carbonate. You can get it at most home centers, or farm supply stores. A 50lb bag of Dolomite Lime runs about $15.00 Garden lime which is a mixture of Calcite and Dolomite Lime, runs about $5.00 for 50lb bag at the local Home Depot.

I brought in peppers for the big 3 day freeze we just went through. the 2 indoor cats just had to dig in the pots and eat the leaves. The Zimbabwe birds took the brunt but they were also loaded with peppers. I watched as one of the cats actually stripped all the leaves and pods off one of the...

what nutrients were/are you using to begin with?
