This seems simple and down to the point, I will give it a try. Thank you!

Hello Everyone,   I have over 40 superhot pepper plants this year, so I know I'll have more than enough fruit to make my hot sauces and was hoping to incorporate extract tinctures as well. Im looking to make hot extract tincture more for the heat/flavor aspect rather than for medicinal purposes...

Most of the time keeping it simple yields the best results, great job!

Great progress, what nutrients are you using?

As he mentioned, this is a great formula to get a good feeling of DWC and understand how it works. Then you can adjust this ratio according to the stage of growth your plants are in!

I would put them in the shade for a few days to reduce any excess shock! If all else fails you could take the root ball out, gently rinse it with water until the soil is all off the roots and place it in a pot with new soil (ensuring the new dirt has good drainage and tilth). Of course you would...

I typically dont fertilize until I transplant the peppers into their final pot, and I use half strength Miracle Gro QuickStart (4-12-4) to prevent shock. Once theyre established in their pots outside I use Neptune harvest organic 2-3-1 mixed with a little Epsom salt for the remainder of the...

Those look similar to some Caribbean red habaneros I grew last year. Definitely not reaper level heat but still up there for sure!

I have 6 plants in the ground, and three in pots. The abnormal growth is on both those in the ground and in pots. It also is on those I've fertilized and those I haven't yet. So theres not really a variable to isolate and deem problematic. I ordered a product with calcium, magnesium, and iron...

It hasn't rained in about a month, and I've had them in pots outside and in the ground for well over a month now. When i transplanted them I added some some 4-12-4 transplant fertilizer, and once I see buds I add Neptune's organic fish and seaweed formula (2-3-1). So far I have only added...

Im dealing with plants that have leaves that look exactly like this

This problem is affecting more than half of my pepper plants this year. I have yet to find any pests. Is this broad mite damage? Any information will help, thank you!   -Ryan Nichols [Zone 9B]

Thank you for the suggestions guys!

Hello Everyone,   I need some help regarding the percentage of shade cloth I will need this summer. I have Carolina reaper, ghost, habanero, scorpion, and sweet banana peppers growing in my garden this year. My garden receives full sun, and my plants suffered last year from the excessively hot...
