Trying to cut back on number of plants, if I do two each, that will be 24 plants. Last year, I had 34 in the raised bed, 8 in The Box, and 6 more in growbags, 48 total.
 
I may start some plants for friends, if they want.
 
Target start date is February 9.

That's a nice list! Is there a particular reason you're starting on the 9th?

 

[heefy]

A very hot list indeed. Nearly all superhots! Wow.

All the best, for your grow.

+1 Heefy. That list has gnarl written all over it!
 
Good to see you in the glogosphere this season, Al.
Looking forward to watching your grow progress.

 

[Trident chilli]

All the best Al certainly a hot grow one to put hairs on your chest

 

[CaneDog]

... or burn them all off!  Good luck with the grow.  There's a lot of big heat on that list!

Thanks,
 
Looking forward to seeing everyone's glogs.
 
@MarcV,
 
I always start the weekend of the first full week of February, and plant out the the third or fourth weekend of May.

 

[Mr. West]

Your last year's glog had such excellent photos of your plants and harvest. I'll follow along with this one.

 

[Walchit]

Can't wait to see those loaded down plants

 

[alkhall]

Could not help myself; added Leviathan Gnarly Scorpion and WHP 006 from White Hot Peppers.

Today is setup day.
 
Got the shelving put up, put a starter tray on a heat mat to warm up before dropping seeds.
 
After five years of starting in coir plugs, I am trying a Rapid-Rooter https://static1.squarespace.com/static/515dc1f3e4b0bca14d78d4c6/t/56b933807c65e43d5a9975ba/1454977940332/?format=1500w tray this year.
 
Added some Jamaican Hot Chocolate for my boss and some Ecuadoran Hot Lemon Cayenne for a buddy.
 
Still working on my new light fixture, waiting for the TFN wire to arrive, also ordered eight new lamps; two Eye Hortilux FS+UV and six Spectralux 6500K. I am reusing two FS+UV lamps I bought last year along with two Actinic (420nm) lamps.
 
Stay tuned...

 

[Walchit]

This new light sounds intense

 

[MarcV]

Interesting lamps... unfortunately not available outside the US/Canada...

This new light sounds intense

 

I should have the wire tomorrow (Monday).
 
I will post pics once it is finished.

 

[Walchit]

The suspense is killing me! Its gonna be a 12 bulber? How big of an area are you covering?

Yes, 12 lamps.
 
2x4 foot shelf.
 
However, I am going to use timers to control the ballasts.
 
I will have all lamps on for 12 hours, 8 lamps on for 14 hours, and 4 lamps on for 16 hours. As an experiment to simulate the natural amount of light from outdoors.
 
The schedule will be:
 
4 lamps 05:30-21:30
8 lamps 06:30-20:30
12 lamps 07:30-19:30

 

[PaulG]

Very interesting, Al, will be looking forward
to the results of your technique!
 
Hope your season is the best, buddy!

 

[Walchit]

You shouldn't need to harden them off lol.

 

[alkhall]

First sprout; Jamaican Hot Chocolate, 14 days.

Alright, the wheels are in motion!  Long time to wait patiently for that first hook, but you are growing a lot of that slower heat.
