I've notice that pepper seeds germinate a ton faster with high temps. Most of my veggies I start straight in soil but for peppers I always use the wet paper towel method in a warm location - I swear it cuts down a week or two of germ time.

i tried the paper towel metho on a heating pad and 2 weeks later nothing so i just dumped them in the soil and a week later one poped up, now a few days later another poped up. a month from now another will pop up lol
i swear they have got to be the most difficult plant to germinate and grow. but i have heard they like it dry and hot so they may not be a great option for a guy that lives in a northern climate.

Pretty cheap several years old Cannon Powershot
Still takes nice pictures every now and then. I need to find a way to write smaller. I want my signature the size of a trichome.

You are very welcome.
North or South of me? By the 9k' I'm guessing North. Might have to drop by post harvest to sample it all out
My plants are getting ever larger and ever closer to harvest - several of the buds have started to keel over and are now being supported with props/lines.

Yeah North...I'm sure you've been up here more than once to snowboard or go out on the Lake (big hint there LOL)...your more than welcome to come up post harvest I'm looking forward to seeing how that Blackberry Kush turns out and a second or third opinion is always welcome, if you ride or ski we should have snow on the ground by then, I have a hard time believing we don't have it now, Dec. 23 and no snow, killing the economy up here.You are very welcome.

Thanks! Glad to have you along.
Ah - gotcha. It is pretty nuts about the snow, can't believe I'm not getting any rain.
I think they really like the 65g smart pot
I'm really think with organic amendments you need a ton of soil - more soil is more food. Long version: Organic amendments are broken down a speed based on the the health of the soil (amount of micro life) and the ratio of available elements. For instance the ideal carbon to nitrogen ratio in soil is 30:1 - at this ratio bacteria process non ionic N into ionic N the fastest. If I have the ideal 30:1 ratio and then add twice as much N the bacteria actually slows down and my plants will actually receive much less N than they were before because the ratio is off. So all this means is that you can only add so much amendments per amount of soil so to provide the plants with more food you need more amendments and more soil.
The time is to remind me of an experiment. Most flowers release their scents at one or two particular times during the day. I noticed mine have a much stronger odor at around 6:10 so I want to cut some buds right at that time to see if there is a difference.
Yield wise I'm really bummed I didn't have those other two plants. I think I could have done really well with yield had they been in there.

plants are looking lovely man, you are still gonna get a decent bag out of the deal and hey, smaller yeild means you can get back to growing quicker

hehe, thanks. I'll definitely pull all I need to and the grow has gone flawlessly so I have nothing to complain about. I just wanted to be able to say that I had almost hit a lb organically with a 600w light and a 3 week vegplants are looking lovely man, you are still gonna get a decent bag out of the deal and hey, smaller yield means you can get back to growing quicker
After my next move I'll have to go for it again but with definite females.

That is what I am starting to realise, next year I will use a ton of soil per plant. For now though I am trying a few plants from seeds in 1 gallon pot (with the bottom half super-soil) and I am curious to see if they will develop well. When I harvest my room , I will look at their size and see if I should put them in 3gallons or 5 gallons to finish them up, since they will be 12/12 from seeds I am wondering if 3gallons will do, I will definitely experiment and put at least 2 plants from 1 gallon to 5+gallons even though they will be almost halfway into flowering.
