So many unforseen changes in my life leading to rarely have any time to check the forum or post updates, but since I've rearranged my routines a bit, I've been able to get some goals accomplished. The Aji Rainforest plant produced really well indoors, for a while, so I moved the whole plant...

Three hours of moving snow, just in my own yard. I'm over winter already.....

Its ok. Everybody assumes I'm a hippie pothead when they see me, because i have long curly hair and a full beard.... They're not totally wrong, marriage and kids changed my priorities. As for my taste in music, almost anything, bit i am a metal head at heart, though i do listen to a lot of...

Yup, took about two hours to complete the whole project. 99% noise free now even in my electrically noisy recording studio. Modded my 5 string yesterday, added a bypass switch so I can switch between active and passive mode, plus center position is off for muting the guitar. I have a $100...

A friend is someone who knows all your faults, but loves you anyways. Charlse Schultz A friend will try to talk you out of it, but a good friend will help you bury the body. Unknown..... Some people are like slinkys, totally useless, but it still puts a smile on your face when you push them...

I finally got some pics today while I was watering. There's at least 7 pods growing already. It seems like the silica blast does something for the plants, the stems seem much more pliable and less prone to breakage. Even my outdoor plants had stuff brittle stems that would break off in strong...

Haven't gotten any new pictures, but since the last post the plant has doubled in height and has at least seven peppers growing already. Had a small issue with fungus gnats due to trying to start oregano in the grow tent. I had to start the oregano in the grow cabinet, and then move them in...

After an unexpected event, my Thai plants got neglected and and died, so I'm starting over again with a single plant, an ani rainforest. Still growing under the 4 45 watt unifun panels, with climate at 50% and 77f. Only growing one plant so I can save room for growing some herbs without having...

My way..... Cut peeled potatoes into fry shapes, soak in cold salt water for an hour, and drain thoroughly. Deep fry for 3-4 minutes, drain thoroughly and allow to cool completely. Then, fry them again til golden brown. I usually fry them for 2 minutes then drain and freeze them for quick...

Peeling garlic seemed pretty easy when I prepped my first ferment. I was wearing nitrile gloves already so I just rubbed the skins right off.

Important tip, be very careful when opening the door to check on your superhots, it's kinda like getting pepper sprayed.....

If in doubt about you growing conditions, get a thermometer/hydrometer. Approximately 50% humidity, and 75f, with 77g being the peak temp for fastest photosynthesis rate, but not go too much over 80. If you have a non contact infrared thermometer you can check leaf surface temps, which should...

Looks like edema, which is hard to control in hydro. If you have a non contact infrared thermometer, you can check leaf surface temps, which should be lower than the ambient temp, if they're higher you definitely need more air circulation. Also, what are you nutrient temps like?

Bugs.... Had the same problem the last few years. Used Thuricide (bacilllus thuringiensis) this year, no bugs. It's biological warfare on bugs, google it. Getting rid of weeds and keeping the surrounding grass short, and not overwatering helps cut down on bug infestations.

I have noticed that my indoor peppers produce better, and are hotter than the ones in the garden. With my indoor plants i do occasionally drop the temp to stress them into ripening faster, but haven't determined what factor increases the heat level besides better certification since they are...
