a quick google shows that a 15w fluorescent will put out about 800-1300 lumens depending upon what type you have so you're close given you have a 19w too. I agree with Omri too btw, keep them close and you should be ok to start with.

You need to know the lumen output and I don't believe those lights put out that much which will result in spindly seedlings. I believe the rule of thumb is around 3000 lumens per square foot for healthy seedlings. Personally I have a 4 bulb shoplight T8 setup + a couple CFL's AND I have the...

Plants can be safely transplanted after they get their secondary leaves, or their first true leaves, whichever way you want to look at it. I would also agree that if your using small starters (jiffy)you should not wait until roots show before you transplanting. Being root bound is just as bad as...

ya well tis the season! You guys didn't think I would abandon this place did ya?

Looking at another 3-6" of snow tonight thru tomorrow. Still have temps in the low 40s F as highs. Good grief, it's the 20th of March already. At least we get warm enough to melt some of it off during the day. Soon though, soon.

Yep, same here. I mix as needed but like to keep the chipotle separate until needed.

Ok I just had to try this. I followed the recipe except that I doubled it since I ended up with a 2qt jar. I filled the jar about 1/2 full of the following peppers, so about a quart of peppers that had been de-seeded and sliced. Hanoi Red Thai Dragon Numex m Jalapeno Hawaiian Sweet Hot Santa Fe...

cool, thanks guys. I will give the Neem a look.

Well Ladybugs are fricken expensive to order on the net. $20 shipping on a $4 item. That's for 300 of them. I think I will concoct a little pepper oil spray and give that a go. :rolleyes:

Sorry about the link everyone, pbase has been flaky lately. Yes this is indoors unfortunately and these are hydro setups so I dont really have the option to move them outside. I guess I will have to get some ladybugs unless someone has another (non chemical) way of doing this. Thanks for the...

What are these things and how do I get rid of them? They just showed up the day before yesterday in force. They don't seem to be bothering anything but I need a way to get rid of them nonetheless.

Well I have both an Ecogrower and 2 DWC setups that I made and the DWC is the easiest to setup in my opinion. I use basket lids on a couple of 5 gallon buckets. Fill with hydroton or medium of choice. Drill a 1/4" hole above the water line and insert your tubing with a bubbler on the end...

I've had firecrackers grow to be about that size before. If they are firecrackers they will turn purple, orange and finally red.

:lol: Weed block Pam, try some weed block between your rows. (Next year obviously)
