What the hell, let's do a closing photo. Behold, my glorious peppers. My wonderful peppers. The peppers, which are the focus of my obsession and literally all that I care about. BEHOLD. SO MANY PEPPERS. Edit: No, not those. Ignore those tomatoes. Stupid tomatoes. On a 100% unrelated...

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll make some time to dig through em soon.

I have under a 20% success rate with every pepper I tried this year. I won't go into specifics because it makes me mindbogglingly sad. A while back, I cut open a grocery store tomato and took its seeds. 11 out of 12 from the first batch are growing like bastards, and 4 of 12 from the second...

My wife has informed me that I'm not supposed to post pictures of our murder-dungeon to the general internet anymore. As if you guys keep your murder-dungeons any more presentable.

I am become Death, Destroyer of Worlds. Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair.

HPS I think. My phone camera doesn't truly capture its brilliance, but there's a non-zero chance that this purple spot in the middle of my vision is now permanent.

Eh, his stuff's always grown true for me. Anything's possible, but I don't think I've been going crazy with the moisture and they don't seem overly fuzzy. One of these years I should probably try growing things like a grown-up would do instead of whatever the hell I do.

I'm already getting a decent collection of failures. Usually once they pop out of their seeds they make it long enough to start growing some extra leaves, but these poor little bastards took one look around their new home and have apparently decided to end things. But these two seem to be...

Noisy / Dirty power? I dunno, sounded like voodoo to me, but they sent a tech out and everything. They did finally convince me, but like I say... Me being able to affect their service definitely sounded it should be a "them" problem.

I have an old beast of a grow light that I don't use any more. It actually noticeably heated and dehumidified my basement while it was running. It warmed my skin and standing near it felt like I was frolicking in a sunlit meadow. You probably could've checked my bone health by holding an xray...

This poor little guy didn't exactly pop out of his seed thriving. Maybe I need Cyndi Lauper to sing True Colors at him to get him to show a little green.

Is it in the same ballpark quality-wise? Something using LEDs and USB-level power is putting out enough useful light to definitely be a noticeable boost? If so, awesome.

Would something like the below provide any benefit at all to a batch of seedlings? I wouldn't expect them to grow and fruit under them or anything, but would it be a boost until it's warm enough for real sun or a typical Amazon money grab with no actual benefit?

Well guys, call me a pessimist, but I don't think the rest of the first seed batch are doing so hot. Thoughts? "They're just a little moldy, they're still good! They're still good!" And I didn't want to spoil the surprise by announcing anything too soon, but I decided to try my hand at...

Sounds reasonable enough. The edge pattern in your first picture made it look like you had some sort of super-futuristic bio-goop. I was scared. I was intrigued. My lips said "no, no", but my heart said "yes, yes". ...What is ze secret of your French Dressing, mon petite cherie?

Always interested in learning other people's methods, so... Whatcha got your seeds starting in there, and is it available outside of the Nostromo?

Weird. Some of these tomato seedlings are being born breech. Every single pepper plant I've ever grown has escaped the seed root-first, then raced to get its cotyledons out of the seed before it dried and cemented over them. These tomatoes are all willy-nilly. Some cot-first, some root...

Hey, remember when I said those aphid bastards killed my overwintered plant?
