tommys south texas glog '15--FINAL GROW LIST FRONT PAGE 2/9/15

Well after a few months of research and advice from the fine folks here at THP, I'm happy to start my very first glog!

I started the day by building a stand for my lights, now I'm thinking I may need another ballast.
After I set up the stand and lights, I laid down some foam, then my heat mat.
I filled my 7 cup station with MG seed starter and watered in. After mixing the soil around I laid in my seeds.
*Yellow Primo
*SB7J
*Carolina Reaper
*Greek Pepperoncini
*Bush Big Boy Tomato Hybrid
*Pequin x2
I laid saran wrap over top and tried my best to seal it, but saran wrap and I have never seen eye to eye.
Programmed the timer on the light, 18 on, 6 off, going on from 5pm to 11am. I know lights aren't necessary at this point but what the hell.
Should be getting more seeds in the mail soon, so I'll be setting up a bigger station after that. And now for something we hope you'll really like!

The station to the right isn't active yet, thinking I may get another mat for it, especially since I found a place locally that sells them.
Thanks for checking out my glog, wouldn't be possible without y'all!

No idea how deep my roots where but if I would of let them 2 easily would of taken up an entire 4x8 raised bed. I had two other plants in there and they was growing all up into their business as well

That's too cool. But I definitely don't plan on going that big. I have 6 seedlings now, hoping to sell or give away two pairs and keep a pair for myself. I think I could rig up a suitable cage. They'll only be in about 5 gallons (wally bag) so I don't expect them to get monstrous. Well the ol hamster wheel is turnin now!

 
You're probably wise... you can only eat Tomatillos so many times a week after all.   I grew 4 plants last year and we couldn't use them all, so I ended up canning them up in quart jars and put away a whole case by the end of the season. If you want to make your own cages, you could probably make something from the mesh they use in concrete slabs. You'd need a small bolt cutter or hacksaw to cut the wire 'cause it's a heavy gauge, but it's stiff enough to be a good support to the plants and will definitely last you quite a few seasons.

Pretty sure that's what my dad used for his. Don't remember what else. I want to say rebar but I remember it not being rusty so maybe something else. I'll have to look next time i'm there.
