I decided to give coco coir a shot back in January based on all the success that Blister has had and posted on this forum.     This is what I am planning for coco this year: 1x Carolina Reaper (seeds from pepperlover.com) 1x Fatali (seeds from pepperlover.com) 1x Brain Strain (seeds from...

This is my first try at growing in coco.  The first picture is the day I transplanted this Reaper from a soil solo cup.  The second picture is today, 10 days after transplant.  I fed it the day I transplanted using the mix below per gallon of RO water and have not touched it since.  The leaves...

I setup a small Kratky hydro experiment a month ago using a red Bhut.  Initially, my PH was too basic, so the largest leaves started to yellow and initial roots turned dark.  But, after I picked up a ph meter and ph control kit, the plant picked up nicely and had good looking new leaf and root...

I'm too cheap to buy a dehydrator, so here is my DIY solution.  Its free if you have any old pc parts.   I used this last year to dehydrate my orange and red habs so that I could make powder.  I'm sure this doesn't dry as fast as a real dehydrator, but it works for my low volume of pods.  If I...

Hi Guys,   I'm going to try a kratky setup similar to what Khang Starr shows on his youtube channel.  https://www.youtube.com/user/KhangStarr010/videos   I noticed he is using equal ratios of the General Hydroponics Flora series.  I picked up the general hydroponics trio today, but I noticed...

I learned my lesson the hard way.  I'm pretty sure bells don't grow erect and thin.  What does?    

So I had an extra Aji Amarillo seedling and decided to try to create a kratky setup with what I have on hand.  I have never tried hydroponics, so I don't have net pots, proper nutrients, or rock wool.  But, I do have solo cups, tinfoil, string, Carl Pool BR-61 fertilizer, and epsom salt.  Seems...

I bought this BR-61 fertilizer a while back before I started reading about peppers.  Is there any reason/stage of growth that this would be useful?  It sounds like everyone uses a more balanced NPK fertilizer.  NPK on this one is 9-58-8.  ...

Last year was my first time growing peppers.  I grew several Jalapeno and Habanero plants both indoors and out in the garden.  It was a lot of fun, so this year I am going to try some other varieties.  Here is my plan for this year.   Overwintered Plants: 4 Jalapeno Early 7 Orange & Red...

Second year Habenero, yellow spots:         3 month old Banana or Corno di Toro, yellowing edges:         Maybe my soil is not ideal.  I'm trying 1/3 MG, 1/3 composted garden soil, 1/3 pearlite.  Last year I used 100% MG and had several plants get burned leave tips; others had some powdery...
