6500k is mostly blue which is great for germination and starting your
plants indoors. you can add in some lower kelvin (2500k) red light when
they start to blossom and extend out the light (day) settings for peppers

I was having a problem like that last year.. One tip that i learned that
really made a difference with pepper yeilds was that i headed the plant at
its first big V. A good canidate is that white habenero. I wouldnt let them
flower early when they are smallish so i headed them right below the big V
where the main stem branches in two. The result was short extremely stocky
and loaded plants.
im interested in growing white peppers this year. I have six hab whites and
six bhut whites that i germinated in January, along with a few other sorts.
I have them under 2 55w CFLs atm. Once they get a bit bigger I will fire up
my 600w MH and 600w HPS
Yea i put away the CFLs, was just using them until the plants got thier
second set of true leaves. Now I use one week MH then one week HPS. I know
i should just leave the MH on them but i like to try out new things so i
switch them off and see how the plants react. You could also grow
exclusivly with the HPS but i hear they tend to make the plant longer and
leaves farther apart.
i meant the pots where you keep your big plants? im wondering if your gona
go all the way to harvest in those pot and if you do i wana see the end
result becuase i wana go from seed to harvest in different size pots to see
the results like a 1, 2, and 5 gallon pots
looking awesome. Does the grow tent make a big difference. I am currently
using a combination of T8 and T5 fixtures over plants on a table. Would the
addition of a tent make a noticeable difference?
the biggest advantage of a tent is to limit disease/pests and be able to
control the environment. i do use just metal racks with lights for
germinating flats and not so much growing out. the bigger tents get really
expensive and are mainly marketed to grow pot since weed is photosensitive
and most/all veggies are not so you can use any room as long as you can
control temps/humidity/pests etc. you can get some mylar blankets from a
sporting goods/camping store and wrap that around the shelves ;)-

I would also recommend removing all flowers on young plants so they focus
more on growing and developing strong stems and roots for better plants!!

They didn’t have much growth in a week but compared to 2 weeks ago I see
it. Nothing grows much in 7 days.

looking forward to see your hyro grow, might try it next year
Put them under the 600MH. It will work better all the way up to full
maturity.
thanks for watching!
Nice looking peppers, you sure have the touch!
Nice update. Where’d you get your seeds from? I want to grow some various
uncommon chilis.
I will put a link in the description, thanks for watching ;)-
Looking good man; your hydro set up is very cool, I may try that at some
point.
I trim the undergrowth but let flowers go, they will just fall off if they
don’t make it.

Like your setup how would I go about getting some of your seeds. Eric
They either go in 5 gallon buckets or raised beds. Any 5 gallon bucket or
larger will work, the more room the better.
