Clear poly plastic sucks. Either regular sun or get greenhouse plastic. I use greenhouse poly and I can grow anything under it. Stellar growth. Competes well with my outdoor garden and extends the growing season on both ends by a month.

  Don't spray, use Ladybugs. They will totally destroy aphids. You need to watch out for ants though...They normally harvest the aphids so one must put some diatomatious earth around the base of each plant to keep the ants off and give the ladybugs a safe "working environment.

You can get "red" bulbs for that ballast as well. if you alternate blue and red you will get a healthier plant.

Are you planning on setting up some sort of ventilation? If not, I recommend getting a 4 inch computer fan and setting it up to pull air from the inside at the top. Then cut another 4 inch whole for an "intake" at the bottom corner opposite the corner you set your exhaust up. If the noise is too...

If you want to get fruit off of the plants in winter then you are going to need either HPS (High Pressure Sodium) or MH (Metal Halide) light bulbs. You can find some of those kind of bulbs at a hardware store but you are better off ordering them from a hydroponics store since they will have...

So I've been totally bombarded by PM's to update my glog so I will. (Jking :party:)  I am 99% sure that the brown marks on the leaves are sulfur burns since I sprayed CaSO4 on my plants two nights in a row. I think they had markings after the first spraying though so that is telling me my...

I have a new issue going on with a bunch of my peppers. Diagnostic help would be appreciated!!!  I think it might be sulfur toxicity since the Ca/Mg I make has a good amount of sulfur in it but again I'm not sure I am new at peppers and have never seen this before.     The discoloration is...

I put in an order to Pepperlover.com a few days ago and I just received the seeds today. Probably 4-5 day wait which I consider good.  I ordered 10 diff varieties and I got 8 free packs on top of it. The coolest thing about the freebee's were that they compliment the seeds that I bought from...

I checked back in on them in the morning and they looked even worse than in the picture. I added 1/2 tsp of C with a wetting agent and sprayed the plants once the light was off. The peppers seem to have reverted back to their original state of screwedupness from last night. I will spray with C...
