75 degF in the room 80-85 directly under the light. The light doesn't get too hot, you can touch the glass and it won't burn you.

Hey guys. I just took some nice shots of my grow room tonight so I thought I would share some of the pictures with you! I got tomatoes and peppers pods coming in and its so exciting! :dance:  Check it out http://www.leafvault.com/?grow=4

It should work now. I had to check the spam filter and I realized I was blocking all incoming traffic :P. 

I was thinking about this.  I am thinking of making an application to upload multiple plants at one time. 

Hello guys. I made a website app that allows you to track & log the performance of your pepper plants. I expanded this idea to all plants after I realized I could use this for tomatoes as well. We currently have 250 vegetable plants in the database.   You can post pictures, comments, and send...

Well to be fair, yes the light will be absorbed somewhere in the tent. However I didn't want to assume anything with regards to the amount of radiation through the window. The above comparison is a thermal comparison and not a radiation comparison.    If the Window is sunless than there will be...

So I wanted to do an economical assessment of whether a grow light system of 600w makes sense. To do this I will compare the price of this system (in Watts) to owning 3 1/4'' double pane windows.   The grow light system ideally will burn 600w of power and also emit 65% of that power consumption...

Smileyguy, were you running hps or mh on your 400 watt system during the fruiting stage? The reason why I wanted to get a 400w system is because the CMH (Ceramic Metal Halide) only goes up to 400w, there is not a 600w option :(. Link to cmh...

Hello everybody. It has been a while since I last posted. Long story short I had to take a break on the indoor grow to do real life stuff. Anyway I am back and I am starting my first HID indoor project. I have a 4x4x8 ft grow tent coming in the mail next wednesday. I have just started my...

I guess I will do an experiment and see if they will grow under those conditions. I really dont want to make a grow chamber is this apartment but maybe I will, I need to think about it and get motivation.

Hello all! Well let me say it is good to be back! The last time I was on these forums I had just graduated college and was growing my peppers in a cardboard box with CFL lights. I will direct you to my previous explorations http://thehotpepper.com/topic/21259-new-grow-setup-update/ and...

So I have made a observation since my regime of daily taking habaneros since June 2011. But first let me tell you the full story. In January 2011 I started my first grown habanero plant from seed. I always loved hot stuff and I wanted something that was readily available. I can't buy quality...

The LD50, or the body concentration in which 50% of a population will die from the dose is 47.2 mg/kg. Using a 70 kg adult would render a total amount of 3.304 g of Capsaicin :onfire:. I think that would be very impossible to reach without vomiting profusely. The LD50 of caffeine is 150-200...

I was under the assumption that the main point of extracting the capsaicin would be to eat it, so that's why I thought of using butter. But my idea was to use a fatty phase to get more capsaicin in the idea that you would not need to dish out a big manufacturing cost. There are many ways to...

Guys there is a much easier way to do the separation. Melt a few sticks of butter in boiling water and add your chili pieces. Mix well for a few hours making sure you never run out of hot water. Let the mixture cool in a tray. The capsaicin will move into the lipid phase and as the mixture...

I would advise changing it up and cutting your daily intake by half until you feel no symptoms. Then continue to eat that amount daily and every other week double your amount. You will eventually be eating mounds of super hots and showing up the pro's. If you are getting physical pain then you...

Nmorris279 see this thread about different kinds of light - its very informative. Light

I used miracle grow ferts all year around and got 100-150 pods per plant. I did this in pots. I plan on doing the same next year.

I was under the impression that Chinense was the hottest ones? Are Baccatum and Frutescens spicy at all? Can you eat them?

Your soil is not being kept at a consistent state, its either too wet or too dry. If the soil is not optimal the plant can not absorb calcium from the soil.
