I got a bit of a surprise when I inspected one of my (actually, seed was from Grant at Jungle Rain) Primo plants today. See if you can see what I am referring to... This MAY be a reason... As you can see, it is growing right next to a Yellow 7 Pot (Y7P on the left, Primo on the right). So...

We have headed into winter here. However I am not so sure that is the reason for the problems you can see below. I have two Trinidad scorpion plants. They are separated from each other but display the same symptoms. Very small crumpled leaves...

...apart from Chilli Mud Crab - I don't do seafood. But keen to hear about places that serve it up really hot.

Anyone know what the story is here?

Hi. can anyone shed some light on what the problem might be here? Thanks. (in case it isn't obvious...some of the leaves are going a dark green and curling under)

What do people in Australia do as far as pruning is concerned? How much? When? That sort of thing...

HI. Does anyone know what this is an indicator of? It is from a Habanero plant. Thanks.

Planted today: Primo - 2 x 2seeds per Jiffy - Junglerain Brainstrain - 2 x 2seeds per Jiffy - Junglerain Yellow 7 Pot - planted 2 seeds per Jiffy about a week ago - HPSC Douglah - replanted from seedling mix into Jiffy's about a week ago - HPSC Put all Jiffy's in seed propagator. Made the...

I have been pretty lucky this season when it comes to insects and pests - until recently. I have just had another round of fresh pods start to ripen - but about 80% of them have grubs growing inside of them and eating their way out. It looks as tho the eggs must have been laid early in the...

Hi. I was wondering if there is a common reason for unripe pods to drop prematurely? Some of my Habs have started to drop green pods for some reason. It is late in the season now and this is the first time they have done this. Up to now, pod drop has been rare and production has been good.

Planted 18 of each today in Jiffy pellets - 1 per pellet. Soaked seeds in warm water first for 5-10mins (while Jiffy's hydrated). About 4 of the Yellow seeds sunk - the rest floated (for what it's worth). Seeds provided by Jungle Rain (thanks Grant for the freebies as well). Going to leave...

This is Grow Log #2. This time I thought I would try the Jiffy's as a seed growing medium. I bought 20 x TSBT and 20 x Y7P from the hippy seed co (always good service - like all the seed people I have dealt with). Step 1 - go and buy Jiffy's. This is where I made my first blue. See if you can...

I was reading through a few posts on safe food manufacturing practices on the forum. In the course of doing that and googling I found this article from the University of Nebraska. I thought I would share it under it's own thread. Enjoy. "Understanding good manufacturing practices for sauces...

As mentioned in another thread, I have been growing Bhuts, along with Habaneros and some other younger plants. The Bhuts and Habs are of production age. The Habs have been going along nicely with good yields. The Bhuts on the other hand, appear to struggle with the heat - and maybe wont really...

Combining these two for my first grow log for one reason...I mixed the seeds up...just so there was an element of "I wonder what I will get" (You gotta create your own excitement sometimes). Anyway... Germinated these in the seedling tray shown below outside under the full shade of a carport. I...

Can anyone spot the flower. OK. There it is at the front near the bottom. There might be one or two more in there but there aint many. Certainly not compared to the Habaneros. Over the past four weeks, from 11 Habanero plants, I have been getting between 1 - 5kg of Habaneros per week. The Bhuts...

Hi there. I am a newbie located in Perth, Western Australia. I planted my first lot of Bhut Jolokia seeds in Oct/Nov 2010. Those plants matured to production status by the end of that summer (March11) and produced a small number of chillies. I put them in a hothouse over winter and did not...

Hi there. Have only recently stumbled across this forum but have found it very interesting. I am sorry if this question is a bit too location specific, however, I was wondering if anyone familiar with Perth would know where the most convenient places to get pectin and xanthan gum are in Perth...
