I do not think I see anyone as asking this yet so I will. What florescent bulbs are you using? The 6500 (blue temp) are great for growth and poor for flowers and fruit. The 5000 (red temp) slow growth but are great for flower and fruit production. Next Question is how old are your current bulbs...

I find the Fatali heat to be more up front when first consumed too and it is gone very quickly compared to others. What interests me is you describing it having a smokey flavor to it, I use it on a semi regular basis and in the ones I have had fresh and the dried flakes from SalsaLady that she...

Nice, which Baobab is it? I have both the african and Madagascarensis up and growing now. My African are about a month or so older from back in end of Aug. sowing and they already have pronounced trunk swelling which everything I have read said they should not have for some time until much...

Thanks AJ because I take more stock in someone who is actually doing it then what one can read. I took a deture today while at work to a light shop and they were at what I was saying but not growing peppers first hand just what they read in their papers. In fact they have 2 different light...

SS and Frogman looking good and deff a little father then mine in first true leaves. My ph is a good deal higher at nuetral 7.0, my well water is tapped into minerals so sits around 7.8 in this supposed acidic part of western washington.

The question was what size CFL and unless I am wrong the 30-50w/ square footing rule is for non florescent lighting? If this is what you are reading for CFL kept plants please share the source so we can read on it. Taking your answer to calcalations a jalapeno that was say three feet across by...

+1 Please Habanero500 do not put most the rest of us in the same catagory as a few on here. :(

For sure I will keep you updated on pods. If you try them again try full shade as at least for me it has not been heat they dislike but to much light that they shy from. My plants are in a grow area with an ambient temp of mid 80's during the day and mid 70's during the night and a heat mat...

Okay not days but the very next morning. I was up before the lights came on and the flower opened before the lights came on so during the night as it was still closed last night when I got home. First flower opened on day 79 from seed being put into the soil. It has pollen already so tried the...

Thanks Greg. Okay let me explain a little more detail on how I started these in rockwool as a couple comments/points have been made to them. After the first drench to balance the ph and rinse the rockwool I have only watered them twice, so up to this point about every 3 days. I lightly poor room...

Yep got their internet set back up for them tonight and they are working so I am playing. :dance: I mean posting or both. :lol:

I would have to say because there are so many pepper plant sizes it would depend on what type of pepper you are growing for an answer. The larger the pepper plant in size the more light needed to keep it healthy or the more pruning you need to do.

Well the Manzano are just days from blooming now and still not a single bud drop yet. Got 2 more 6 bulb t8 lights from home depot tonight for the indoor growing. Something interesting is they claim it has a 10 rating (10 being the best) for light efficiency and the t5 systems I have looked at...

I am a newbie to using rockwool myself. I was reading online somewhere that using it helps keep them from crown rot but we will see. I am pleased with them so far and the nats seem to avoid it.

Well everyone in this are looking good. I have not had access to the internet for almost a week and now at my sisters I can not load my pics to photobucket. 4 have been up[ for a couple days now and the rest are peeking their heads up out of the rockwool. Hope to post them soon.

My youngest is in 2nd grade and doing well the oldest is in 6th grade and has a load of trouble in school because lets face it the school system they are in is very broken. He has failed the last 2 yrs and they refuse to hold him back resulting in him falling farther behind as he just does not...

Ya SS you caught me, I had been digging and planting before I took these. Filled 2 outdoor seed boxes with garden soil and seeded them with 38 red flowered horse chestnut. They will germ once the weather warms in spring after chilling all winter. Just had time to wash hands take pics then off to...

Score they both look really good and healthy.

I have all three colors and my 70 day old starts from planting seed are loaded up with flower buds. Higher temps do not seem to bother at least my yellow strain of them but to much light does so shading would be a good idea. Here is a pic of one of my plants I just potted up into a gal pot 2...

Yep there going to be quick remember it had them listed as 56 days from transplant for peppers. Most of mine have sprouted there hooks too. With these it should be no problem seeing changes every 5 days for the pics.
