Pretty much said that in this sentence:
"I would say that buying from inspected/licensed kitchens is a little safer."
Manufacturers are getting busted daily for trying to cut corners. That's why people get e coli 90% of the time. Most recent I can think of is when burgerking got busted...
Check out my Glog. I dang near killed some of my seedlings with high light intensity. I took and posted a bunch of pictures showing the cause, outcome and fixes. I am growing about 25 different varieties. The primos and reapers were impacted the most. They seem to be less tolerant of intense...
Welcome! From MD as well. I live in Washington County. I am growing a ton of different super hots and sweets this year. I don't have any plants to give away but I have some seeds. However I think it is probably to late to start now. I will gladly share the fruits of my labor with you when they...

Transplanted all my peppers last night into the new grow tent and back under the leds. Put them in trimmed 1 gallon pots and fox farms soil. Hopefully now they can handle the intensity of the leds but I raised them up pretty high to be on the safe side. You really need to wear sunglasses when...
Same here. I was over watering at first but quickly learned to weigh the pots before watering. The soil I am using is hard to tell by looks. I even bought a moisture meter.
After flushing with straight water for a couple weeks some of my plants started getting some yellow leaves down low so I gave the plants a good dose of fertilizer and foliar feed twice a day for three days straight. Then I mixed up 1 tbsp of epsom salts and 1 tablespoon of molasses and drenched...
