You're either sand bagging for an upcoming flood or you've got a boatload of Roots Organics there. I've had great success with that stuff when mixed with Pro-Mix BX. It has a nice blend of organics.

That's a great looking grow tent and very happy plants and some great pods. When did you start those puppies and what kind of lights are those? You going into final containers soon or into Roots/the earth?

Looking forward to the outdoor phase.... :cool:
 
Hi GrowgearSpokane!

Your plants are looking great. If you get over to the Methow Valley sometime, I have some hotties and other interesting chiles I'll share with you.

LOL no flooding I work at a Garden store so I have a lot of goodies at my disposal.
I really like the roots organics myself too. I have these plants in Sunshine #4 Advanced mix trying it out.
I have 2 Sol Lighting 4 ft. 4 bulb t5s in the tent for a total of 860 watts :)
I started the seeds 2 months ago and for the first month or so they got Advanced Nutrients A & B with sensizym and voodoo, but for the last month or so they have got strictly Reverse Osmosis filtered water PH'd at 6.2.
The Mystery pepper was actually started in december and has been putting out a half dozen or so ripe peppers a week.
Here in the next few weeks i will be transplanting all the ones that don't fit in the tent into 25 gallon Smart Pots (fabric) and putting them outside.

Thanks S.L. I will definetly make it a point to pass through this summer I could trade some indoor garden gear or nutrients or anything for some exotics :). Also your hot sauces look amazing I need to remember my paypal account so I can order some. I am drying out some of my mystery peppers to make a rub or steak seasoning any tips?

my Habs still don't have any pods I only have 1 of them is that my problem? Or do I need to pollinate them myself?
 
Looking good! It's nice to see some actual produce in a grow shop. :cool: The one by me always has crappy looking plants with nothing really on them.
 
7/5 UPDATE !!

Maxed out my available pics whoops



A few things I have learned so far is that when I thinned out the tent and everything got a little more airflow they got a lot more pods than before. Also when I take them out of tent and place them by window with a little supplemental lighting they ripen faster and create more pods. I'm new to this and I am sure there is a reason for these things if you know feel free to enlighten me :mouthonfire:

Happy Growing everyone
