    letting trays dry out.

    You could try increasing the humidity in the tray if you need the heat mat... Put a bowl or a tray in there with water, the more surface area you have the more humidity it will generate, the higher humidity the slower your peat pellets will dry out.

    Using Cinder Blocks As Planters

    Ya those planters for sure will work. Also if you have time you can make planters out of scrap pallets. I made a few last year with some I had left over. Drive by any new construction with brick facing, usually those pallets don't have a deposit and the contractors will be happy to toss them. I...

    Man they are really cool... This can be done with superhots? Do you think you can cut down mature plants and do this? I was thinking at the end of the season I'll take in a few that I would have tossed as I can only overwinter a small amount and experiment, unless these plants need to be...

    After getting on this I stumbled upon blackout blinds. Thinking about getting them for when the girlfriend is on night shift because you can get them in styles that don't look sketchy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fx9kFsEv0BY

    Using Cinder Blocks As Planters

    Pepper plants have large root systems. Plants can only grow to a capacity in which their roots will support, much like how some fish only grow to the size proportional to the tank they are in. Your better off with fewer larger plants in larger containers, than a bunch of small weak ones and...

    help pick out my plants... quickly

    Cardboard would work, it breathes and it would take in any moisture that is in the carpet. You could cut up a couple garbage bags for sheets on top to keep water from soaking through under your pots. The cardboard would also help disperse the weight of the pots so there wouldn't be rings from...

    Using Cinder Blocks As Planters

    Cinder blocks are a neat idea, and can look appealing if you lay them out level and take your time on it. I would plant them so the roots can get into the ground though because the root balls would be constricted to a tiny space, and with your shorter growing season your plants need a lot of...

    help pick out my plants... quickly

    I dunno if id put a tarp down on a carpet man, it might cause it to mold. You could get a cheap piece of plywood or osb and run 2x2 strips to keep it elevated, carpets need to breath or they can get gross in a grow room environment. Plus cleaning off a hard surface is easier than a tarp. You...

    Mites?

    What are your pots made out of? It looks like stitched together landscape fabric? If it is then that's a great idea because I get a 4'x360' roll from terrafix for 100 bucks.

    Yellow Leaves

    What varieties have changed yellow? I noticed I had my filius blue had dark purple leaves and I thought it was doomed but they're doing well, however my Yatsufusa look just like those and they are the only ones that are like that, and I have treated all of them equally, do certain varieties...

    diapers anyone?

    That is actually quite clever, I want to try this, plus since I don't have any kids I can't wait to see the look on my buddies face when I ask him to spare a diaper. All in the name of science!

    Rio Grande VALLEY Pepper LAB.....Dr. Tex16

    Super jealous, currently it's snowing here. That is a sweet layout, I was thinking of getting the same fence for my garden, garden centers have been closing down around my area a lot and I wanted to buy their stock to guard my garden/equipment.... I lost a garden claw and my felco # 2 last year...

    soil Mould on Soil Surface?

    Small fan helps a bunch, also just wipe it off if it's not appealing to you, or turn it into the soil. It probably wont harm your plants, a fan will help strengthen your plants and give small bugs a harder time to stick around like the fungus gnats I was battling. You may not be over watering as...

    Hang a hemp leaf flag in the window. Nobody that would actually have a grow op would be that dumb.

    Found a solution... Grow a super hot, leave it in a place that is too tempting to resist. Inject the pods full of Ipecac. Problem solved.

    Finally got the homeowners association to let me grow...

    I freaking hate condo boards/hoa. I got complaints for light pollution even though my neighbors weren't affected, they thought it was affecting the appeal of the building. I had a bedroom glowing, you could easily find which room was mine coming down the highway lol. They first thought I was...
