Soil looks a little dry to me. Pick up a bottle of Alaskan Fish Fertilizer (Lowes, Menards, Home Depot and some Wal-Marts all have it), I know alot have heard me say this, but I truely believe in the product, it has worked wonders for me. It wont burn the plants from over-fert and it is an...

My Scorpions have been outside for a month now. It has gotten down into the mid 30's and they are still ok. As long as they dont get a hard frost/freeze, they will survive. Pepper plants are fairly tough. But yeah, the general rule is 50 and up and its ok. Mine are growing a little slow, but...

Hey now, dont ding ALL the Ebay sellers like that. You all know me and know I grow super hots. I have sold super hot seeds on ebay and they are always what I say they are and have had repeat yearly customers. Not everyone on EBay is out to rip someone off.

I agree with the raised beds crowd. Got to your local home improvement store and get some 2x6 treated in 12" lengths, frame it up and then fill it in with good dirt that has manure/compost added, then til it again with your mantis to distribute everything nicely. Like Melissa said, get some...

6 More days and there is yet more growth, this thing is really taking off, I removed the cage and added a bamboo stake to the planter. I also revived the Maxwell House experiment, starting completely from seeds in the rockwool and they will live here their whole life. FYI, the Maxwells have...

I have them growing and will be happy to share seeds in a few months when they are ready, but if you cant wait, I suggest like Nova said, check the website for Jungle Rain Its actually www.junglerain.com.au

You can run the lights 24/7 for the first 2-3 weeks after they emerge from the soil without harming them, some people will say it helps them grow. After that time though a 16on/8off cycle is what works good (for me anyways). The plants need a dark period to complete their metabolic cycle of life.

Ok so it has been a loooong time since I updated this, lost some plants, mostly the hydro experiments but I started a new hydro a couple weeks ago with an already established Yellow Brain Strain. I also did some work to the hydro chamber, I bought a 150w HPS light from PexPeppers and added a...

Buy an automatic timer, it will do wonders. Yes for now you can go 24/7 with the lights. Like said, once they are 3-6 weeks oldish, set the timer to run 16 hours on and 8 hours off. Plants need a "sleep" time to properly do their thing. What are you using for grow media? Coco coir?

Yes there is an airstone fixed to the bottom of the bucket. I drilled a hole in the side of the bucker just below the top and ran the line through that. When I change the nutes I use the hole in the top to add the nutrients. First I add 2 gallons of clean water, then using a 30cc syringe with a...

Ok, so some of you may recall the hydroponic attempt I did earlier this year with the Yellow Brain Strain. Well, after some bad information about hydroponics from another site, it died! Anyways, I had 3 more Yellow Brain Strains in dirt and decided to put one back into the hydro for another try...

Those are beautiful AJ, I hope my Numex Twilights get as big as your super chilis do. HwyBill, I use a cut down version on some of my pepper plants, the ones I know are going to get big, like this here...

First post and pimping a website? LOL WTF? Smells like SPAM to me...

So my plants that I started last fall are about 18" tall now and they have all branched off and are growing strong. I know everything under the canopy (branched off area) is pretty much non productive leaves, is it ok to prune all these non-productive leaves off? It will make my 8 Butch T...

Ok here is a quick update. I transfered the Coke Bottle 7 Pots to planters so they can get bigger, nice rootball when transplanting. Also you can see here the Butch T Hydro Scorpion, I removed the lower leaves below the split that arent productive and the plant greened up quite a bit. I am...

Paul, I did a write up of it when I built the systems. here is a link... http://www.thehotpepper.com/topic/27367-extremely-easy-hydroponic-how-to/ I have since switched air pumps. I am now running 6 Maxwell House "buckets" and 3 dual output pumps ($10 bucks each at Walmart) each bucket has its...

I changed my setup around a bit. I built a new Grow Box. This one is bigger, 70" tall by 67" wide. 2 levels this time and each level has a 4' twin bulb T-12 fixture in it with 6500k Daylight bulbs, 3 flats fit on each level... The old grow box is now the new home of my Hydro Butch T pepper and...

The seeds were sown back in september and have been growing in my room in 2 litre coke bottles since.

They are very small, about the size of peas, but my 7 Pot Yellow in a Coke 2 litres have set pods, check it out...
