  Eleven inches from the lights now, and I'm seeing what I think is sunburn. Maybe it isn't... I don't know for sure.   I'm going to give the plants another week or so, then I may try to cut back on the lights (time).   Thanks Karoo !     These two plants were germinated in Gro-Dan cubes. They...

Update on the project.  I'm running out of vertical space to grow. The Reaper is 42 inches tall, and only 11 inches from the HydroFarm CMh 315W.  I can't raise the light any more in this small tent.... run out of room.   The Bhut is 28 inches tall, and is 25 inches from the lamp. The Bhut is...

Just my opinion, but if I were in your shoes (I have been), I'd skip on the humidity controller for now, and save the cash to by a more powerful light.  Your plants will be able to deal with low humidity once they get established (good roots) and thoughtful watering.   The 45W will be fine for...

No problems with using a greenhouse to grow peppers, except the possibility of excess heat ... as you've already read. Since you have a lot of wind, well that will help ventilate the greenhouse  !   As for the pests, I can't say that a greenhouse will absolutely keep them out, but I'm sure that...

They look good so far !   I assume you're still using the 45W LED ?  And the heater bringing the temp up to 70+F is good.   Hope you have a good grow !   Jeff

    I like this !   It would seem that a ratio of 5 leaves per Pepper is the key  :dance:   Jeff  

Well 21 degrees C is too cold for you to "grow" indoors, but that temp is OK if you simply want to keep the plant alive.   As for the germination of the Chinese, do you have a dome or other way to keep the heat and moisture in ? It is best to keep the soil moist, but not wet. So it is important...

:welcome:  chiger !   It's hard to tell what is wrong from the pictures. I know from experience that when you move a plant inside it will experience some level of shock. Plus, if you transplanted it, that adds even more shock.   Looks like the leaves may have some insect damage. Did you look...

  I can't tell you how many time I've lost track of what plant was where.  I usually start out with everything labeled, but sometimes when I'm in a hurry, I try to commit to memory where I put this plant or that plant.  Well, I'm over 50 (have been for three years :)) and so my "mental sticky...

:welcome:   Welcome to the Forum !  There are many folks here that are experienced/expert and are willing to help  :P  ( not me... Willing but no expert !)   My first comment is that the Super Hot peppers are VERY slow to mature. They can take 120 days or more (4 months) to mature from seeds...

    THAT.... is just plain hilarious !!!   Jeff

  Hey Willard, experience is often more useful than knowledge, so thank you for the reply ! I really appreciate the information !   Just quickly, my "experiment" was to reproduce the native environment of Bhut and/or Naga Jolokia pepper plant. So when I say that I FAILED with controlling the...

Mine have been numerous.  What about your's ?   For me....   Outdoors >> I've had the Sun completely murder my newly germinated seedlings (BzzzZAP !!)... Literally turned them to ash under the baking sunlight (so not ash... just gray, lifeless plants)... Two days ! Kept a Burlap sun-screen over...

  From the temps and humidity you indicated in your post, I would say that those are fine. Actually you could grow the same peppers in higher heat and lower humidity, or lower heat hand higher humidity. The plants will find a way to live. You're good !   Thrive ??? That's another question. In my...

Wow... That sucks AZZ !!   I learned something this fall and I'm still trying to deal with it.... Aphids !!   I wanted to over-winter a Chi-Chien that has been outdoors all summer, and been very good to me. I brought the potted Chi-Chien inside and placed in inside of one my 4x4 tents. The 4x4...

I've had very impressive growth on these two plants (Reaper and Ghost) in the new set-up. No doubt about that. Ridiculous growth ! Sooner or later that growth needs to stop, and the plants should produce peppers.  That is why we do this... right ?   Last weekend I backed off on the nutes hoping...

Hey Map... I understand the cost side of things... ( or I don't because I buy things that I never use LOL ) !!   Organic or not, soil is soil.  For me I want soil to produce.  Like I said, it takes a year or two for the soil to "come of age"... at the moment that is unimportant.   Just wanted to...

From the pics, the original plant was re-potted ?   And if so... good call !!   The first pics shows a plant that is clearly in distress. Like almost dead.   The second pic looks like a completely different plant!!  Not even sure I can say it is the same plant !!!  Glad you were able to...

  Humidity control. Exactly what I have been after !  I've been targeting a humidity of 70+ percent. For the HOTS.   Direct ventilation sucks every free water molecule out of the tent. Even if I add a humidifier, the venting makes the effort inefficient. In my case the local average humidity is...

I like the beds !.   Have your grown in the beds before ?  Looks like a clay soil. What do you use for amendments ?  I have similar soil and want to expand.   Happy Growing !   Jeff
