Sounds good. Can't wait for my Jalapeño plants to get full grown. My TAM Jalapeño is about 8 inches tall.

Well I cut off the red peppers and washed them to get some pics. Here is the first one. It is abnormally small. Here is the second pepper. Is is on the small side of average. Here is the last pepper. It is average size. The peppers grow upright just like Tabasco peppers. Can anyone...

This is not traditional Bamboo. I have regular bamboo growing out back. This is Lucky Bamboo. Not even in the same family. They just call it that. If it gets one whif of Flouride or Chlorine, you will see it in the plant. Here is it's real name...

I just added 3 more plants for a total of 9 in this flood tray. Time will tell. Seems that the extra rock and ballast in the net pots is working. These Lucky Bamboo will actually grow in just plain water. As long as there is no chlorine and fluoride.

Well peppers are ripening and turning red. This red pepper is abnormally small. Here is a picture of the flower. I know I have a few aphids on the plant. This pepper stalk is green with lots of purple. Very woody. Any guess on what type of pepper plant? Thanks.

Trial and error.

Yup. Net pots had nothing in them. Now they have some ballast. Also filled up the flood bed with more rock. Seems to be holding. Time will tell.

Came out this morning to find my plants trying to comit suicide.

I wanted to setup an ebb and flood setup. I am testing it with Lucky Bamboo cuttings. They have no roots, so we will see how this experiment works. Once the test is complete my peppers will have a new place to grow. Empty flood table. Here is the flood table full. Here is the storage...

I have had tomato seeds sprout in under 24 hours on a heat mat, in a dome...

Yes. Strawberries need to be frozen for about 2 weeks before sprouting.

I tried last year with a Boysenberry plant from a mother plant. My 3 dogs chewed it up. It is very thorny, worse than roses. I think they wanted toothpicks. I will try some more cuttings this year again. Boysenberries are related to both black berry Logan berry, and raspberry. They are more...

Keep up the good "secret project", and let us know how it goes. Do you think it would work on Avocado trees? Avocados the size of footballs, I can dream...

Well, I know I pushed the cloner solution a little long. I think it was 5 weeks. I did replenish the used water & nutes. Stuff was still growing roots, just didn't want a nuclear meltdown. I finally changed it tonight, and started fresh. Here is my mystery pepper plant with roots. Just put...

The bacteria is building up some good foam. No bad smell, only a sweet smell. Just watered my peppers with a 50% solution of tea and RO water. The directions say I can use it at full strength, but want to start safe.

Thanks. It is my first try at brewing tea. I like the tea brewer. I did add a blue foam cloning insert to seal the tea brewer on top. My cloner I built myself... http://thehotpepper.com/topic/44856-cloning-cuttingscloning-with-water/

Earthworm castings / compost, molasses, mycorrhizae, and RO water. I like that it is a square bucket, and has a spout. I got it at a good price. I was going to build my own, but couldn't pass this one up.

Looks good. That will work. I just use the super big tomato cages. Here is mine.

Yup, you must be really careful with nicotine spray. Works well.

Here is a pic of my brewer. Here is what the inside looks like.
