I wholeheartedly agree with Gonzo's post. GMO's do NOT increase yield. Why else would they do it? Because AJ Drew they sterilize the seed, they monopolize the industry, they enslave the farmer and the people. An astounding number of top federal government officials came directly from former...

AJ Drew - True. I go from hex cells to 3" peat pots to final pots because I've seen seedlings that lagged sprouting and growing by a week end up overtaking the ones that "appeared" to have the most vigor once I move them to the 3" peat pots. I wish I could eliminate this step but I know I'd be...

spicefreak -It is telling when the geneticist considered to be the father of the GMO industry, who was also one of it's biggest proponents for two decades, walked away from prestige and wealth to become the megaphone for the opposition. His concern was lack of testing of effects, so he began...

Watch "Food, Inc." if you haven't seen it. Mind blowing cruelty and stupidity. I've seen first hand what goes on, my grandfather ran a huge Cargill egg plant. I toured it as a child and there was a giant pile of dead and near dead sick chickens at the head of every row house. When I asked him...

Yeah but a bird chilli would normally beat those super hots to flower.

Depending on where the mother's origin was, it may have been irradiated. As an example, nothing from Jamaica is allowed into US without being subjected to this. This is a guess on my part but I'm throwing it out there. Another possibility is that seed was from a hybrid and you're now growing...

AJ Drew - I can't turn my hippie gene off and on like that so I'm impressed you have that ability. Probably due to some "bad" substance that I may or may not have consumed long ago. dragonsfire - those same things like AJ Drew and you mention in the water tests have been tested in these...

Smokin' Hot - "suppose to be safe" being the key ingredient in your opinion (which I share as well). Their website proudly boasts "Regulated by the EPA and complies with its most stringent requirements". That's reason enough for me to pass. I just don't want people soiling in my soil, I'm funny...

WATCH OUT FOR THESE BRANDS!!! Companies can put human excrement in their product and still claim Organic!!!    Human Poo Brands (Yum) -> BioSolids or Compost   p.s. OMRI is a joke, they certify some of these!   I mix my own organic ingredients following Mel's mix...

30% shade cloth has been shown to double yield, aluminet is best, hail bounces off of it too, see... http://thehotpepper.com/topic/55321-30-percent-shade-cloth-study/#entry1183441

I concur with walking the dog. Mine has a contract with me, I walk him 6 days a week and he agrees not to chew up the wife's shoes. If I miss a day or two, all bets are off. I also have a pepper kennel, only because when we rescued our dog he had heartworms. After treatment, the dog has to be...

Powelly, thanks for the info on the barley enzymes. Good to know.   I want to throw my 2 cents in for Neptune's Harvest Organic Hydrolized Fish & Seaweed Fertilizer. I swear buy this stuff and have seen amazing results with it. Not just on my peppers but flowers as well. I've given it both...

Being an IT guy I''m a little paranoid about disclosing anything on the intertubes but for Voodoo 6's sake I am not French, not that there's anything wrong with that. I just feel that we should all be proud of our heritage and they are all admirable. I'm half German and half English. Now for the...

I've read so many articles on bee ranges I don't know what to believe. One article said they've been tracked up to 12 miles. The studies I've read on cross pollination rates say they're upwards of 30% likely. If you want true stock, it's apparent you must isolate.

D3monic, thanks for the answer, that clears it up for me, we've certainly got the wind in Oklahoma.

But do you get the same yield or should you just be isolating a subset of your plants?

What about pollination? I bought a bunch of tulle bridal sachet bags for dirt cheap at a Hobby Lobby last year but have been hesitant to try them because I don't know enough about pollination. Do you shake the plants or does the wind take care of it?

Myxlplyk, good find. Looks like it uses better connectors than the one I posted. Thanks for the link! I'd opt for the clear, supposedly allows UV through to kill bacteria. Weird that clear is pictured but isn't an option. 75' foot is $149 so these are twice as pricey. You're gonna give Voodoo 6...

I usually start out with Neptune's and then switch when fruiting. Don't forget about calcium to stop BER. I looked high and low to figure out how much calcium was in this before settling on it. I don't have access to my notes right now so I don't have the link to where I finally ran across it...
