This years indoor pepper grow

[Irving]

Okay, one last question. Can I just change the bulbs now and expect the plant to produce, or is my plant a lost cause at this point? Been flowering for at least two weeks now.

Get some intensity on that thing they will keep blooming and shake the plant to spread pollen

Roughly 10 bucks a month in electricity 182 watts is 18.2% of a kilowatt hour multiply that by 18 hours a day times 30 days times 11 cents of electricity the cabinet has about 140 bucks in it. When I do the big grow room usage will jump to 300 watts but I won't use as much heating the house because I will be venting hot air into my bedroom.

The ability for me to grow exotic peppers and have good tomatoes when everyone else is eating red cardboard is worth it

Here is a picture of the plant. It looks like it is trying to spread out. Possibly because of the low light intensity?

[Irving]

Hmmmm, I'd like a couple of those in my heated garage...

The Boulder REI is just about nothing but those skylights, it's odd how they can redirect light.....but alas, I have no attic which makes it rather sporting.

Could you not just install them directly onto the roof and ditch the piping? Kind of like the 2-liter soda bottles filled with bleach water they use in Africa?

Yes, I only have 5" of tubing because of the vaulted ceiling. It works fine.

Looks like you have a pepper starting on the left(well like 3 nodes in from the left).....plant looks extremely healthy although I would check your ph(that's why those leaves are twisting)

[Irving]

Good to know about the leaves. That node is just another flower.
