I've been using these jiffy pellets for a few years now, probably 500+ and never saw this before. If it is algea it should be harmless. The only difference is I am now using the "self watering" trays for the first time and I think it's keeping the moisture level a little too high. I felt it and...

I've had the white fuzz mold but not this stuff before. It almost looks like algae. 

Just wondering if anybody has encountered this before with Jiffy Pellets? I have this stuff growing on a couple of them, any thoughts?  

Just an update on the progress so far. I put my larger plants on grow trays a while ago and while peering around under the canopy I discovered a few surprises. I am tempted to get another set of lights going for the seedlings and have 3 tiers of plants, the only thing holding me back is that...

I was happy with http://www.refiningfirechiles.com/ for my seeds this year. Shipped quite fast, fair priced, good selection.

Take a couple plants and grow them under synthetic this year to see if there really is that much of a difference to be worth changing your game plan.   I would see how it goes this year and if your plants aren't yielding and you want to stay organic just start your seeds earlier and get them in...

Stumbled upon this today, may also help.  

I love this stuff, can't get enough of it. I find it goes best on cheap foods, pizza, KD, burgers & fries. Bang for buck its a good kick and I can toss on a heavy coating of it without even breaking a sweat. I reserve my finer dishes for my own homemade sauces that aren't as easily replaced.

I've grown tons of plants in clear cups, they turned out fine. I only stepped up to the red solo cups/dixie cups because the clear plastic ones I had were too brittle. I wouldn't worry about it they will grow perfectly fine. It's a good way to see how your root system is developing, soil...

I'm going to have to agree, those plants look fine.   These pictures have been useful for me when trying to identify whats going on:    

The mold is harmless if its just the white fuzzy stuff, its probably just bits of wood rotting. If you don't like the look of it scrape it off or till it in gently. Your on the right track with your grow. Don't worry about peroxide, I try to avoid using anything that can harm the microorganisms...

I can handle the cramps, it's the ring of fire that sucks.

400w should be more than enough for a tent that size. 600w wont hurt, more lumens the better, just gotta watch the temps in there, make sure your fans are going properly and I'd make sure that I have it wired to a thermostat just in case your out and a fan quit. Last thing you need is a bbq in...

I use imagur to post pics on here.    http://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/gardens-gardening/your-garden/help-for-the-home-gardener/advice-tips-resources/pests-and-problems/diseases/viruses/tobacco-mosaic-virus.aspx

When I save my seeds I take a picture of the pods they come from and keep notes on if I isolated them, hand pollinated, or open pollinated them, and what plants grew close to others. This way if there was a cross I can cross reference my work and find out what happened.  By posting an image on...

The growing this year is going great. All my seeds that I started from the Canadian Seed Train and last purchase from refiningfirechles.com and Ocho Cinco have started to germinate. The seedlings that I started late which were given to me by members on THP are growing really well.       I have...

I searched everywhere to find a supplier in Canada that has live ladybugs in stock. I ended up stumbling upon natural-insect-control.com through another forum.    I sent an e-mail to them regarding their inventory of live lady bugs and the next day I received a reply from Stacy saying that they...

Have  you tried letting your pots completely dry out to the point where your plants wilt like crazy then just saturating? I've had good luck starving the larvae from water for a few watering cycles and when I do water I dose with bti. I just found peppers to be sensitive to insecticides and they...

It's not the adult fly but the larvae that harm your plants. Just use BTI, Mosquito Dunks or Aqua Back to kill the larvae, bottom water, and use sticky traps to kill the adults. It's so simple. You can stray from this method all you want but this is the only real solution.

I've had a bunch of seeds come in the mail just in plain envelope that sat in the mail box outside for a few days this winter and they all germinated fine. Thanks for organizing this!
