    mrgg*s PURPLE playground

    Starting a purple thread. While there will be pictures of normal green plants, the main focus will be the color PURPLE  :eek:   Got a few varieties of things that came in, but only germinating a few for fun since it's so late into the season already. If anything, my plan is to toss a few pics up...

    Breeding/Crossing - new forum suyggestion

    I think it is pretty obvious here that a lot of THP members cross pollinate and even breed their own peppers.   I figured it would be a really fun thread to have separated from the GLOGs to give those people a place to post ideas, questions, GLOG's, and results all in one place (all pertaining...

I have seen some really  nice crosses in the GLOG's this year (does not need to be a cross, commercially available is just fine).   The peppers don't have to be hot, but they do have to taste good. The...

    Compost Tea and PH levels - question

    Hey ya'll   So I never really measure anything, PH included, but I noticed some leaves yellowing and decided to check my run-off. I found the ph to be very low.    Does anyone else have issues with low ph with compost teas? If so, what do you add to correct it? (I have ph up and dolomite lime...

    Isolation Chamber

    I made this [obviously] for canna males, but the same idea can be used indoor and outdoor if the goal is to isolate one whole plant. If you have a small plant growing indoors/outdoors that you want to make sure is not pollinated by another, this idea or your own variation of may help. (I...

    Collecting and storing pollen? How do you...

    I have done some crosses and played around with immediately collected pollen. But I was wondering:   1) what people do to collect pollen in "bulk" as much bulk as that can be...   2) And how do you store it?   3) How long have you been able to store pollen and it was still viable for use?   I...

    hourly timers, not daily timers

    Does anyone know of, or can link a timer that can do 18 hours of light and 12 hours of dark, ignoring the normal 24 hour day period?   I have a theory, but all timers I find will only work on a 24 hour cycle.   BTW: I am talking about power outlet timers, not watering timers which I have seen...

    shade Shaded hoop house side addon

    A few weeks ago I took my friend's kid to buy what ever seeds he wants from Lowes. And to accommodate those seeds, we made a raised bed for them to be planted, and called it 'Samson's Garden'.   But with the little seedlings that are going in there, I wanted to add a shade cloth.   So I figured...
