So I'm looking into getting 30 or 40% cloth for my 5'x10'x16" raised bed. I've found plenty of retailers, but now I'm trying plan the layout. Thinking of going the pvc hoop style, but I'm stuck on height. How far away from the tops of my plants, which are averaging about 4' tall, would be ideal...

ok so I figure it's a little late for a glog, so here's what I've been up to in the past year. Starting with the last pic of the babies under lights before they moved outside. Might need some bumpage, quite a few pics. More pepper pics to follow!

Sweet Jeebus I've missed y'all. Been lurking in and out since I last posted over a year ago, good to see most of the major players still around. Its been an insane year here in Corpus Christi, Texas. Between work and the garden I haven't made enough time to come back and repay my debts to yall...

So I'm trying to see if I can feed when I bottom water or not. Everything is still in 1020 trays, and I water by filling those up about an inch. Did some conversions, and that comes to about 3 quarts. First off, is this enough for 18 seedlings that are working on their first couple sets of...

So the temps have been great lately, but earlier this week it dropped to 35 One morning for a hot minute. If this is cold damge though, why aren't my other OWs showing these symptoms? I top dressed with a little alpaca poo, but it's way too light to burn anything. Can't find aphids, though there...

Just got off the phone with a local place that sells compost at $15/yd. However when I asked what is used to make it he told me cooking grease, septic water and food sludge. Everything in me wants to run for the hills, but the price tag has me wondering. Can this be used in pepper gardening? I...

Knew this was what I was gonna do with this jam as soon as my wife got it for me. So here we go. The players: [/img] I pat the loins dry (giggity) then hit them with Montreal steak seasoning. Put a couple tbs of olive oil in the pan at medium high heat. When the pans good and hot, sear the...

So I'm leaning towards growing in bags this year, it just sounds all around more beneficial than pots. I'm looking for opinions on all the different bags out there. I've looked at the root pouches, smart pots, plastic grow bags, fabric grocery bags... Plastic is obviously the cheapest at like...

So one of the guys at the farmers market is a genuine alpaca farmer. Sells all things alpaca, including fertilizer. He said it's great as a top dressing, mixed in with the soil, or as a tea. I'm really excited to try it out, probably as a tea first. But when should I try this on seedlings and...

So not long ago I realized I'm going to have entirely too many plants to responsibly handle. I then started researching the local farmers market. I've never seen a pepper guy, though there are always a few produce sellers with your typical cooking peppers thrown in the mix. So I saw an...

So I currently have my light rig scheduled at 18 on, 6 off. The lights go on at 5pm, and off at 11am. Is this ok, or should I get them used to day times? In other words, should I reverse the schedule and start lighting at 5am and cut off at 11pm? Ish?

So all the seedlings I have in peat cups, I want to transplant into solos or 3.5s. I was planning on just cutting the peat cup down the side so I don't mess with the roots too much. Turns out every single one has roots coming out of the bottoms or sides now. I really didn't think they would...

I'm currently searching for Tabasco and datil seeds to finish up my list for the year. I currently have plenty of non isolated red moruga seeds aS well as non isolated ghost scorpion seeds from my grow last year. If you have seeds and are looking to trade, pm me and I'll send you a complete list...

So I've been watering my little sprouts everyday with a couple squirts from an eye dropper, all around the bottom of the stem. I haven't noticed anything bad, but should I be watering more, or less? I feel like I should also keep the rest of the soil in the cup moist, but how can I do this...

So I noticed the swag section is in progress, just wondering the status of this. I would love to be able to represent the community with hats, decals, koozies and what not.

Time for everybody's favorite game show! Mushroom! Or! Seedling! Ok so I seriously thought this was a mushroom popping up in my reaper cup, then I saw a glog where his sprouts looked similar. Just want to be sure because I havent grown super hots from seed before. Here we go

Ghost scorpion Red moruga Numex 6-4l So I've been told just to let them grow back after pruning then start fert once they get back to normal. But after a lot of reading, I'm wondering if and how I should change the soil? I originally planted with mg potting mix last year, but I found a Fox farm...

Well after a few months of research and advice from the fine folks here at THP, I'm happy to start my very first glog! I started the day by building a stand for my lights, now I'm thinking I may need another ballast. After I set up the stand and lights, I laid down some foam, then my heat mat...

First off, not sure if this belongs here or in grow tech so feel free to correct me. So I just bought the 4' 2 bulb t8 shoplight along with 2 Phillips 32w 6500k bulbs. I've been looking at stand ideas all day, and landed on the common 1.5" pvc frame. Basically a top support, a leg on either...

Ok so I'm trying to set up a station to start my peppers indoors. I'm looking for good success rate, as well as cost efficiency. I'm window shopping until I know exactly what to get, though I know it varies. I'm looking at the 10 pack of 1020 trays with domes, but should I get holes or no...
