    lighting LED Shop Light 135 Watts (Ghetto Build)

    if it's just on the edge of protection mode, maybe all it needs is slightly better cooling? idk if you can position the psu a little better or something. e.g. maybe off and away from a carpet, in the path of your fan if you have one running? i wonder if something small could mean the difference...

    cooking Fermentation Vs. Boiling Chillis ?

    i don't see the word 'ferment' anywhere in that Cholula Copycat Recipe post?   fermenting gives a different flavor.   in that copycat recipe, vinegar (not the boiling process) is used to lower pH.

    sinensis grow log 2019 (with tomato grafting!)

      you want a some seeds when i get them? most rootstock is produced solely for use as rootstock. they're 'designed' for insane vigor, generativity, and disease resistance... and nothing else, lol they say don't grow them out as normal plants. i don't think their fruits are even edible.   also, i...

    sinensis grow log 2019 (with tomato grafting!)

    oh. they are for sure tight enough to not leak when tipped over. i just put some water in one and vigorously shook it up, no sign of leakage.   (also, they're so short, there could only be at most like 1cm of hydrostatic pressure if it's completely full. don't think slow leak will happen.)

    broken branch -- will it heal after lashing?

    lol, cat jumped into this plant while i was doing something in the other room.   major branch broke off. i put a drop of water on the wound and then tied it back together tightly with string. i did it less than an hour after the injury. maybe even less than half an hour.         will the...

    blis blast? i've been wanting to try that one. keep hearing good things.   haven't found a good opportunity to buy it though. i never see it for sale when i'm buying sauce, and i haven't worked up to paying shipping for one bottle of an already expensive sauce. direct from them, it's $20.85 +...

    hot-sauce Sorry Guys Your Favorite Hot Sauce is Bad!!!

    the more i try other sauces and expand my palate, the deeper my appreciation for tabasco grows.    tabasco was always the main hot sauce i had growing up, and so at first when i was getting into peppers and 'artisanal' sauces, i thought my love of it was it was just simple childhood...

    Miniature "Bonsai" Carolina Reaper

    i think that is not the 'correct' approach for bonsai. i think plants won't get thick stems from age alone. they need lots of root space. huge pots or in the ground. after growing in those conditions and getting a nice thick trunk, then you trim it down and transplant it into a small pot and...

      actually, SHU is determined organoleptically in a (semi-)quantitative fashion, and it's related to capsaicin concentration, not content. it's a dilution test.   but more commonly now, the concentration is measured by HPLC, and that figure is used to estimate SHU with a conversion factor.  ...
