Another thing to keep in mind with cfls.. Their lumen output and color accuracy drop off quicker than any other type of bulb. If those bulbs were used for a period of time, say months, they most likely have lost a lot of their lumen output and the color wont be as accurate as when new.

Patrick. Thank you. I will give a light dose of calmag next watering. Dulac Thank you. I haven't spoken with anyone else who grows cayenne and your observations on light are helpful.

Nope, Cant rub em off. Some spots have turned orange brown. I must have a crappy moisture meter! lol My ph is a bit high. Right at 7 on my crappy meter. I water with 6-6.5 but the medium I'm growing in seems to buffer it right back to 7.0.

Thanks everybody. I have a yellow sticky trap in there and see no signs of bugs. I failed to mention that I have 3 plants and they all look like this with the exception of the other two being lighter in color. The seeds were supposed to be for 2011 ( so a year old ) and they are a free long...

Thanks megahot. No white bumps, I looked for them. They were given a 1/4 dose of General Hydroponics fert about 3 weeks ago. I did give them a dose of calmag about 4 weeks ago.

Hello all. I have three cayenne plants that were doing well until about a week or so ago. Growth slowed and new growth is underdeveloped and curled up. I use a moisture meter and wait until they are almost completely dry before watering. Using a 400w metal halide that was about 20 inches...

Hi Megahot. I'm new to this forum but not repotting. Watering a bit before transplanting has always helped me. It actually kept things together. I recently overwaterd some plants and they got limp but came back after leaving them alone. Best of luck!

Thanks Spanky, So far I like it. It is designed for decent water retention so I have to be careful not to overwater. Not a lot of nutrients in it so you supposedly have more flexibility with adding nutrients. I wanted to use Promix BX but couldn't find any locally.

Thanks guys. I'm glad I found this place. Hopefully it will help prevent me from making some of the more common mistakes. :D
