Pressure isn't the only requirement in an irrigation system. You also need volume. You lose a TON of volume due to friction loss in 1/2" PVC. Your pressure will develop once it's necked down to 1/4" drip tubing Be careful running fertilizer through emitters, because the will clog like hell. I...

OilDri and nonscented kitty litter is basically the same thing, but the difference is the temperature it''s fired at. If it's fired at a high temp it will not break down into mush. I test it out by placing the OilDri in a up of water and let it soak for a few days. If it's still hard, then it's...

I prefer cheap and easy! I mix up 50% $2 topsoil, 25% Black Kow, and 25% nature helper (pine bark fines). Then I mix in about 25% OilDri for drainage.

I will be officially 100% hydroponic, no more dirt for me

This year I'm about 25% soil gardening, and next year I'm 100% done with soil and I'm going to a hydro/coco grow bag' irrigation system. Here is an excellent chemical injector http://www.hydro-gardens.com/irrsupp.htm . Basically you mix a master solution and it pumps the exact same ratio...

I'll be the first one to say that they both suck, but 7 pods crush me

Welcome to death. Glad you could join

I do! Plant them and if the spout they're viable

After a month of picking peppers here and there. I finally got a strong mix. Jalapenos, O Habs, W Habs, Datil, Thai, and a couple of Serrano and Aji Limon. I have a TON of green peppers, so the next couple of weeks should be interesting. Green Japs are going to get pickled and the rest go in the...

A 2000 sq ft home will produce 300 gallons of water with a 1/4" of rain. It doesn't take much

There is a killer product on the market called Bifen IT, it's the generic version of Talstar. It's AWESOME and will last 4-6 weeks. I use a hose end sprayer and hit all natural areas in your yard and on the top and underside of all leaves on bushes and trees. I even spray my fence down to form a...

Do a test to see if bloom nutes are really needed. I use to switch when whatever was growing was covered in blooms, but now I don't bother. I've haven't seen even a slight reduction in production. I will however add a little calcium nitrate (1/2 -3/4 tsp per gallon)when I see little tomatoes...

Exactly! I've never seen a mild Scorp. My wifes family (Laotian) have been eating a steady diet of peppers since childhood and their outlook on chilies changed dramatically when I introduced them to Scorpions and 7 Pods

I rarely have a hab fall over. Jalapenos and Serranos are more tippy. I use cheap bamboo stakes and plastic cable ties to hold up my plants if needed. I always let chilies ripen, the only exception is Jalapenos for pickling and Pablanos

I've cloned plants for years and they always throw true peppers. I don't bother with seeds unless I'm looking for something new

I don't know anything about Canadian electricity, but I'll take a shot. I'm kinda missing what you're needing. Your ballast should have 120, 240, 277, and some have 460 volt connections. I use a 12 gauge orange extension cord from Home Depot for 120 volt. Cut off the female end and wire nut it...

I've never used zeolite, but I ALWAYS use Oil-Dri when potting plants. I use about 25% added to the mix. It's an excellent additive for drainage and slight moisture retention

You asked so my answer is eat the 7! I don't envy you at all. 7's crush me

I use a neem and garlic powder combo and it works great. I have friends that swear by planting Marigolds and Basil
