Maybe I should have started a thread about favorite spicy sandwich spreads and let it run out to 100 pages.... Which could still happen. While I'm not really a mustard fan, there are some hot German mustard spreads I can tolerate, but they are more horseradish based.

That does sound good provided the sour cream doesn't cause any gastric distress while working 10 miles from an available bathroom in -30 weather. Lol. Some good suggestions so far. Sounds like hot sauce, mayo, and a dash of pineapple juice might make a nice tasting sauce for lighter tasting...

I already have sriracha, and home made creamy southwest sauce that was a copycat of subways southwest chipolte sauce, but I used arbol powder instead and twice as much. Any other ideas for sauces that would go well on cold sandwiches for lunches?

Pictures as promised. The Thai on the left took a bit more damage installing the cages. The hab's have a huge dense canopy, but no peppers yet. One of the mini space heaters tucked in a corner. With two of these running there's no problem hitting 80f+ even when the basements around 55f...

Added some new toys recently. Added another mini ceramic heater and eliminated the ceramic heat emitter, much faster recovery time now. Today I put in new computer fans that move a little bit more air and are really quiet so it doesn't sound like there's a vacuum running continuously in our...

What kind of light setup are you using?

The plants are really starting to fill up the tent. Still only 4 peppers on one plant, hopefully the others will start pollinating soon. Thais are up to 29 inches now.

For the auto-irrigation, are you planning to go with soil moisture sensors, or just irrigate on a timed basis? I found a few sensor based controllers for around $100, but not sure just how reliable they are.

Two months and the Thai's are up to 24 inches tall already, while the hab's are about 10, but they're much bigger around. Still only have the three peppers on one Thai, and still getting some flower drop on all the plants. Gonna try going back to 18/6 since I've been running 18/8 for the last...

Yup, still using the Unifun 45 watt (36 actually draw). I wasn't too sure it would be enough, but apparently 255 0.2w LEDs are quite a bit more efficient than 5 or 10w LEDs. I'll probably still upgrade to a 300 watt (~130 actuall) eventually, particularly when they get really big and bushy...

And we have peppers! Three on one Thai, and one on the other. Have got lots of flowers on the hab's, and it looks like one might be setting fruit now too. The plants aren't quite two months old from the time they sprouted.

It all comes down to how heat is transfered. A body of water changes temp very slowly compared to air. So when the wind blows across a lake it only cools a small portion of the surface, which the movement quickly stirs that cooler into the warmer water below distributing the heat loss into a...

I would definitely say that wind chill would affect plants. My science teacher tried to say that it doesn't affect inanimate objects, and my question was how come heatsinks and cooling fans work?

We've actually had pretty good success germinating seeds from frozen pods, some of which were in the deep freeze for a couple years. Although I would recommend using the paper towel method.

Not too sure about the alloy for aging, but was wondering if using a vacuum top on the jar to suck the air out and get the brine to penetrate everything faster would speed up the fermenting process. After the brine is thoroughly absorbed, you can pop the vacuum top of and put on an airlock.

It's not that the mycos can't survive in high levels of phosphorus, it's that they become dormant. When the p level drops, the mycos will become active again.

I've never been able to find any real proof that mychorrizae are of any benefit in dwc like it is in coco or soil, the side by side grows were rather inconclusive. Bacillus on the other hand can help with a few potential issues, products like hydro guard help keep the roots clean and reduce the...

Look up "sustainable living"

When choosing led lights you really have to look at the actual power draw, not what they're rated at for advertising. Generally a light with a power draw around 150 watts will cover around 4 square feet, and one with a power draw around 250 watts will cover about 9 square feet. Just check for...
