One of these days when I'm feeling spendy I'm going to grab a outboard UV light to go with the QBs in my tent and see what they do.

I just added a couple UVA bars in my closet. We'll see what's happens.

My first grow was super frosty, but I was using CMH. I was also giving them cold water, which I didn't even think about at the time. And I made teas all the time. I haven't had as much frost since the first time. I'm curious to see if I'll notice a difference with the added UV.

how many watts uva per sq ft? any idea? i don't think i was using enough last run.

Each bar is 30 watts and is supposed to cover a 4x4 or 5x5 I think it said.

Yeah, I was eyeballing the 30w UVA units at HLG...I've been intentionally giving my plants 'warm' water, right around 63-65F, though I guess some root stress could help express more resin.

Ya, I finally gave in when they had the 25% off sale.

I've been giving mine 68 degree water since after the first time. I'm tempted to lower the temp too, but I'll wait until next grow. Wanna try the UV by itself first.

how long do you flush b4 harvest?

With my stomach and certain chilies - its 48 hours of straight flushing alright ( in the toilet )

Why is this even a debate? The 2 days of darkness is complete and utter bullshit.

If this turns into a cat thread, I also put them in 48 hrs of darkness before harvest.

pueblo chile > hatch chile IMO. i even have the CO pueblo chile license plates. lol. nothing like a good pork green chile on a chilly day

Just had a load last week. Even my buddy from Michigan loves it. Take an asadero and put it in the bowl and pour your chile verde con carne over it.

It softens your hands while you do the dishes.

I'll have to try Pueblos some day. I've always used poblanos...even grew 'em last year, but decided that for the effort I got about 4 or 5 peppers per plant and the farmstand down the road has baskets of 5 or 6 for 3 bucks...so from now on, I'll just buy and concentrate on the smaller hot hots, etc.

That’s the ticket. They sell green chile fresh at the grocery store so screw that and jalapeños too. Grow the connoisseur stuff. Ghost, Carolina Reaper, habanero.

I thought you run them over with your TRX truck

I'm actually trading it in for a 2022 Ford f250 tremor with the 6.7. That super charged bastard made me buy another building to keep up lol
