stc how many lights are you using??? looks like it would be a white wash when you first walk in the room. lol i can tell its working but it must suck when u first walk in (walking into grow room)

1 full day on the new light and already im seeing a dramatic improvement on the plant structure. the leaves are lifting themselves up more, and half the plants that were still stretching suddenly stopped and started growing true leaves! i cant believe how much of a difference just the...

perfect idea! i have several boxes/boards just laying around :D thank you trust me she already hates my plants, even if she loves the peppers ;)

got the new bulb in and already the plants seem to be responding better! Any tips for getting light closer to the shorter plants as well as still adequately lighting the tall Jal?

i have a few drainage holes in the bottom, but i was definitely guilty of over watering them, and i will be adding a few more drainage holes to help them out. im also thinking i might put them on a heat mat/rheostat soon to keep their soil temp exactly where i want it. i also just got a 115W...

i think i got a problem. the seed leaves on three of my plants are turning bright yellow. i have been using a very weak nitrogen addition to my water, and this is the first time i have seen them like this. ideas?

6 Bhut Jolokia sprouts last night! i had to draw the line at 14 plants though, so i seperated the 7 7pot sprouts into 7 different cups, and seperated the bhut's into 3 different cups and unfortunately had to nix the rest :( but on the bright side, i have the list for the season complete! here...

yep! 2 out of 3 so far!!! i labeled them as ghost, even if its a 'street' name lol thank you again soooooo much! every day i come home from work after i kiss my girl they are the first thing i check on! i didnt realize just how addicting this stuff is~!

walked in this morning to find SEVERAL more hooks!!!! there are now 7x- 7 pots growing in the same cup!!! cant wait to seperate them in a week or so!!!!! the chocolate hab is turning out to be a VERY slow grow... wonder if somethings up with it? the first seed leaves are still not flattened...

Everything is still looking pretty good! i reduced the exposure on my camera so that i could post some better pics: Jalapeno: SuperChilli (Chocolate Hab in back left)

i did have another question. is there anything you can do to maximize pepper growth in a soil plant other than to use the right concentrations of nutrients and changing the bulb to a flowering color temp bulb?

So far they are looking MUCH better. didnt have to change the soil, just put on some light air to help dry up the soil, and kept them under the light as usual. got a nice suprise from a germ cup i had all but given up on! CHOCOLATE HABANERO'S are officially in the list!!! Heres the update...

its looking a little better now, but i am pretty sure its over watering, and if the problem isnt fixed by tonight im thinking im going to transfer it to some new dry soil and let it recover for a while. if your wondering i put a bamboo stick in the dirt to help support it while it recovers...

question. i took the plants outside to start introducing them to the texas sun for about an hour, and the jal close to blew over, so i brought them back in. i noticed that it seems to be leaning a little more than usual (24 hours later). is this bad? also, i changed the flourescent bulb back...

one more thing. do you think a 115W 5000k CFL would work for these plants?

question- when you end up with multiple germinations in the same cup, is it possible to seperate them into different cups? if so, when should you transplant? i just thought about the nutrient competition between the plants, and i dont want to loose the extras, but i know i cant keep them in...

checked the setup this morning... 7 pots are OFFICIALLY in the list! check out the update! (7 pot, jal, superchilli)

im guessing i should start a little farther away and gradually over time see how close it gets before the plants start not liking it? or just keep it far enough away to maintain the desired 85 degrees?

i am/was heating & lighting them using a reptile heat light. i do have a reptile heat mat, which i will probably throw under the plants for the next few days until i have a better system set up, but for the moment i have them under a high efficiency halogen bulb, not far from the window, which...

heat bulb went out this morning, so i turned off the air in the room to keep it warmer, and dropped in a temporary halogen bulb. i should be getting a new light tomorrow, but ill have to keep them happy till then. any advice? Jalapeno Superchilli
