  Don't think he's calling you a liar but you're actually in the low 90's for highs and are getting into the 70's for lows so your plants are still having a break and the pollen is still fertile. -- Here we are in the mid 100's (ie. 103 to 110 for highs) and staying in the high 70's to low 80's...

Q-tips (ie. cotton swabs) work well for collecting the pollen on and then using to pollinate - hard part is trying to keep the thing from self pollinating before you get to it. ( unless you remove the anthers before they become viable )   Could do it the way the Chile Pepper Institute does it...

  Epsom salt is a highly soluble form of magnesium sulfate - so is good for correcting a lack of both magnesium and sulfur quickly and pepper plants are a magnesium-hungry crop.   The advantage of magnesium sulfate over other magnesium soil amendments (such as dolomitic lime) is its high...

  Yep, the USPS Flate Rate boxes cost the same to Hawaii and Alaska as well ( though they do warn that the 3 day delivery may take additional time due to local travel times depending on the location and do not guarantee the 3 day service - which might be why some do not use it for fresh pods)...

Here is an excerpt from an article on fixing jam or jelly that did not set  :     AND to fix it if it did not set you will need to add more of all 3 ingredients and bring back to a hard boil for a short time again in order to get them to combine and for the jelly to set up properly. IIRC most of...

  Not to mention setting you up for less hassles if/when that day comes that you wind up being late due to one of those !!

  That is perfectly fine -- You were asked to arrive early ( not required to or get fired if you did not do it every day. ) and to clock in when you actually started working at your scheduled time ( and probably allowed to clock in earlier if you started working earlier because help was needed...

Best bet is to talk to the labor board -- since the labor laws vary in different states and what is or is not acceptable varies - ie. in some states you still get paid for 2 hours if you are scheduled and show up and they cancel your shift. (So usually the employers will send someone else home...

  Are you sure about your figures ?? Most LED units are sold as Watt equivelency based on the wattage of older light bulbs and not actual wattage the unit pulls from the wall. (IIRC the GalaxyHydro is called a 300W unit because it has 100 3W leds but they are never run at the full 3W or they...

 

Sounds pretty normal -- a couple inches of top growth in a month right after being transplanted is not bad -- figure it is going to spend awhile growing new roots and getting itself established in it's new home and depending on how much root damage was suffered in the transplant and how the new...

Figure you'd have a few choices :   1. Don't sell the seed in keeping with Developer XX's wishes since he feels it is not ready for sale.   2. Continue to sell it but just sell it as 'Pepper Whatever' instead of 'Pepper Whatever XX' and list in the description that it is an early possibly...

Do you have pumpkins or other squash growing nearby ?? -- Looks like a squash bug so be on the lookout for the eggs as the hatchlings will eat a lot !  

  At least yours get a break fairly early if they are recovering that quickly after the sun sets -- Here we stay in the high 80's until after midnight and then by 9am. are back in the 90's so they get about 4-6 hours where it drops to the mid 80's - high 70's to recover   Here's our 10 day...

Normal occurrence here -- as long as they are recovering in the evening they'll be fine - plants will droop like that to conserve water loss since less area means less evaporation from the surface of the leaves. You can do things to try and lessen it (ie. cooling the temp either by watering or...

  ^^ This - these plants tend to take care of themselves if we don;t kill them trying to adjust things for every little change they go through - For another example look at this thread ( http://thehotpepper.com/topic/56636-amazing-mystery-volunteer/#entry1336653 ) great looking plant loaded with...

  Almost the same price again $219.99 with coupon code ( online code 35720963 or coupon for printing link below ) this time rather than $199 but still a decent deal ! Expires July 10th  ...

  ^This -- which is why some plants grow and produce best near the equator where the light cycle remains stable and others do better nearer the poles where the light cycle fluctuates on a seasonal timeline as the pole leans toward/away from the sun making the daily light cycle longer/shorter.

Nice looking KingD !   Just harvested the first set of Ichiban's and a few Cukes this morning : (think I might have too many plants with the 3 Ichiban's as this is a small harvest compared to what I should get as the plants grow the rest of the summer ) and the Cukes are also just getting...
