Hello everyone! Been reading and taking advice off of these threads for some time now, so I decided I would let you all know with what you helped me accomplish so far this season. I am new to growing, and have loved every second of the tedious work and tasks I have had to learn how to do to keep these sexy ladies growing strong. I live in the Midwest, and am in the process of maintaining my first serious crop. Received the seeds in a purchased bag of very potent stuff, starting them out on lights somewhere in between April and May. Started seedlings on a mediocre light setup, transplanted to outdoor location.

Fertilizer= A 20-20-20 ratio. Strong I know, but I have been very careful and switching to 10-20-20 during flowering.
---Light= 10-12 hours a day

The only problems which I have experienced have been dealing with insects. They get a little bitten by crickets, and I have made homemade pesticides using different strengths of habanaro peppers, Serrano peppers, minced garlic, cayenne peppers, and vinegar. Worked pretty well, but I am in the process of making a cricket trap using Molasses, Vanilla, water and splash of lime/lemon juice.


Attached some pictures of the season so far. Here are is one partial life cycle of my Minnesota Homegrowns :thumbsup:
