hi folks!   excited to share the production results from seeds I saved from a chilli pepper I picked up at an Indian store. It was nebulously called "indian chilli" but my research leads me to believe its likely this or closely related : https://thehippyseedcompany.com/product/rajah/   plant was...

Wow... a surprise today .. we have buds!!   Considering that I had given up on the plant and stopped watering it, there are some possibilities -   1) Too much watering? Kept the medium moist/wet most of the time when fertilizing with masterblend mix 2) Higher P GH nutrients helped kick the plant...

Awesome info all around, i've learnt a lesson for the future. Just to bring the post back to topic, i've decided to pull the plug on the plant. The alternate nutrients haven't had an effect and I dont think I have the time to play with it any longer. Thanks all!

I did the growing inside with LED lights. So far I'm extremely happy with the results. I've done this out of need, because I have a limited grow space and I dont want to waste the start of the growing season with small seedlings that spend a good 1.5-2 months outside just getting to the...

  The more I research this, the more i realize this is likely the case. If my last ditch effort doesn't work, I will probably use it to graft on some of the other varieties i'm growing. 

    Correct, and thats the treatment they've been getting. I should have been complete in the initial post. Waiting for the coco to dry and then will treat with higher P to see the results. Will post back.

I think the only thing I can really do other than wait or give up is to change the balance of N/P/K and see if there are any changes. I went back with a magnifying glass last night and I noticed that really tiny buds may be forming but seem to "dry up" and fall off before they are visible with a...

Hi folks,   I need some input on this issue on my plant. Please chime in with your thoughts-   Problem statement: Mature (4 month old, 1.5ft tall), very healthy pepper plant has 0 buds on it. Plant has no issues save some edema from growing indoors in a tent. When I say 0 buds, I mean nothing...

  Thanks- one unit is rated at 12.6W. I am running each one at ~9W. I haven't made any measurements, but CREE has a simulator for output based on current, and spits out 1250 lumens per LED.

Nuclieye, thats pretty amazing. First time i'm seeing a bonafide pepper tree. You could harvest it for lumber. How does the plant fair during the peak of your summer heat?

Very difficult question to answer. You narrowed it down a bit by asking about one season, but there's a ton of variables like light levels (limiting factor), temperature, nutrient availability. Plant genetics will play a role of course, but your results for a given variety could vary widely...

    haha yes... that residual protein going to work finally :)

  Thanks.. I am running LEDs in the tent. Its a COB LED based fixture I built, pulling ~320W  

    This is a great suggestion. Thanks! 

Hey all - I documented the process of building a compact LED grow light, with some examples of the results. Check it out, feedback/questions appreciated!     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IH9ZvJ7pwz4&feature=youtu.be

Hi folks!   Its been a while since i've been growing this plant, and now I don't have space to continue growing this guy. I'm going to try and pot it up and give it to a friend. This was my first attempt at a kratky pepper so I wanted to share the results, which surprised me. Also, not sure how...

Very cool. I'd be afraid to leave any plastic buckets around you, only to find holes in everything :)   Great results as well.

Looks very much like when i had my seedlings too close to the light. I increased the distance between the light and the plant and the new growth looked normal but the darkened leaves never recovered.  

  Hi Peter, thanks for replying, your videos are inspiring and I enjoy watching them. Here's a video of my setup and light: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRUFJCrL6E0

Hi folks, i'd like to chime in with my experience with LEDs and hydro. I made some videos you might find interesting- My LED light is DIY with COBs and I got some impressive results with a relatively low cost/wattage (55W) white LED.     Hydro system and light...
