    Transplant

    Ideally plant it in the biggest container you intend to grow it in.  Transplanting is stressful and best avoided if possible, the plant won't out grow your light just because it's in a bigger container.  Also narrow containers fool plants into thinking they're surrounded by other plants which...

    fertilizer When to fertilize potting soil?

    fertilizer When to fertilize potting soil?

      nutrient burn is because of lock up, the plant can't do its thing because of "a clog in the system", to use a metaphor.  Plants can not use more anything than its metabolism allows.

    fertilizer When to fertilize potting soil?

    there are a lot of variables that need to be considered to answer that question accurately.  Most of them are dependent on whats in your "soil".  I grow organically so I add a small amount of granulated fertilizer (I'm an Espoma fanboy) into my soil mix and that's enough to get them through the...

    labels Labels and nutritional values

    Just another example of deferring to someone else's definition of reality.  You look at a label and just accept it as truth even though you have no idea whats really in the bottle, you decide to trust a piece of paper.  In the end the truth is revealed by the lie, It can say anything on the...

    harvesting Advice on maturing harvest

    plant earlier next year.  Last year i had hundreds of pods still on my plants when it got cold so I cut them at the base and hung them to ripen, it worked but there was also a ton of moisture loss thus making the peppers hotter and more bitter.  Wont be doing it again.

    labels Nutrition Analysis for bottle labels

    weird how many hotsauces come out of jersey.  First check with your county or state, you may not need nutritional analysis.  If you do need it Im sure they can tell you  where to get it done.  There's no getting around spending money to start your biz.
