I`m curious how this turns out.
Especially the habaneros which I would like to grow next year.
For how long do you already have them at 12/12 ?
At whats your total wattage?
Will be following this thread for sure, since alot of people quit after a while.
Keep it up!

Peppers and tomatoes don't need 12/12 as they are not photoperiod-sensitive [they're perennials, not annuals] As long as the plant is sexually mature and the temps are in the right range, they'll flower and set fruit.
Your habaneros are burning [not terribly, but they could use a pot-up with soil thats not as hot], and if you keep loading the maters up with N they won't flower.

Subscribed, been interested in learning to grow habaneros for awhile, nice to see an up-to-date grow log of someone doing it inside.
Fella, hows nice of you to drop by. Yes, habaneros were a little burned, but they are good now. This grow goes like this... indoor, soilless (LC Mix #1), 150w HPS & CFL. Let me go take more pics and show you how its set up.
But thanks for taking an interest guys, i am happy to see who all drops by. If my cab works out, i will try some orchids as well. But for now, i like growing something i can eat.
Wait...What? - Pleae tell me more about what you know about these plants. I am intersted to compare notes. I have the lights on 24/0 now till i can light proof my cab.
Peace.

More info is totally needed! Think of it as telling a newbie to growing peppers how to do it right. Same way we do all over the forum here for ganja

I'm tyring to grow all my veggies from seed this year. So far my peppers are looking spectacular, but as usual I'm having issues with my tomato seedlings. I'll probably end up buying a few clones if they don't pull through. IMO Cannabis is MUCH easier to grow from seed than tomatoes.
Cool thread,,, we're growing cherry toms. fritillary, mixed chillies fritillary, numex twilight, and pusa juwala from ibl lines again this season. Had a slow start so far because glasshouse temps have been cold.
Tip. Aim to keep tomato seedlings and plants moist from the start,, i.e. dont let them dry out between waterings. Always sow from good seed stock!

So how do you fertilize tomatoes? I'm growing some in pots on my patio, just planted the seedlings today. I'm using the same organic soil/amendments as for my indoor garden, but not sure about the ferts. These tomatoes start showing blossoms almost immediately. Does that mean I start the bloom formula when the blossoms show? Or do I use the grow formula for a while? Or do I use both throughout?
tomatoes and peppers [and anything solinacaea] are always both growing and producing. they are perennials.
you want to keep N:K in a ratio between 1:1.5 and 1:1.7 to maintain the balance between growing and just hanging out and working on ripening the existing tomatoes.
a feeding schedule i've seen in more than one place:
200ppm N
55ppm P
300ppm K
55ppm Mg
using GH Flora line plus Botanicare's Cal-Mag+, I can come close on everything but the calcium.
grow-micro-bloom-calmag
16-6-5-3
which yields
209ppm N
54ppm P
301ppm K
57ppm Mg
I'm running it for the first time now. I'll let ya know how it goes.
