My parents recently sold their house which had a phenomenal Meyer lemon tree. This thing was about 5 feet tall and 6 feet wide and produced hundreds of delicious lemons each year. I took 8 cuttings, dipped them in rooting hormone, and stick them in rock wool cubes in a humidity dome. This was...

Hey all, I live in Oakland, CA and our water here is pretty high pH around 8-8.5. I know peppers prefer 5.5-6.5 (or at least neutral 7). How do people with similar water adjust pH to water 10-15 (or more) plants on a regular basis? Filling up a 2 gallon watering can and adjusting it one drop...

Title says it all. Looking for recommendations for a pH meter that can be used for soil and water. I did some research online and think my tap water at home is about 8.5 pH. Ive been using it on my plants and think I have some nutrient lockout. If I find that is the case, so I get some...

Found some little bastards on one of my seedlings. That live on the roof of my apartment. The closest plant is an oak tree in front of the building at least 20 feet away. I squished the ones I saw with my fingers and AzaMaxd the crap out of all the plants. Have no idea where they came from.

I understand this is from Matthew Arthur and I think it's a just a selected strain 7 pot Jonah but I cannot find much more about it. Is it hotter? Different shape? Different/better flavor? Who has grown it side by side with the Jonah and what can you share about the differences?

I recently started several seeds and planted them out. I noticed that one (Jamaican Hot Chocolate) was growing much more slowly than the others. It developed it's first set of true leaves but stayed smaller than a dime and was not growing   Since I germinated in rock wool cubes and then planted...

I recently germinated some seeds in rockwool and as soon as they popped I moved them into 1 gallon nursery pots and put them on the roof under shade cloth.   Here's the list (red didn't germinate or died):     Here's the average monthly high/low temps in Oakland:     I realize now I probably...

Got a really late start on the season. Set up seeds to germinate on August 5th - used rock wool cubes, heating mat, and humidity dome and it worked really well. Consistent 82-85 temps. Each of 14 varieties got its own cube with 5-8 seeds and right now I'm 12/14 on having at least one viable...

So I just started some seeds in Northern California - Gowing Zone 10a/b - and I expect 1-3 weeks for germination depending on variety. I live in a small apartment and dont have any space to provide artificial light to seedlings once they sprout, so I will need to get them out of the humidity...

Have had a hectic year and living in a small apartment. Wasnt able to start anything in the winter/spring. But Ive got about 50 seeds started (10 varieties with 5 seeds each in rock wool cubes). Pretty happy with the variety I was able to come up with on a smaller grow list: 7 pot Jonah...

Hi All, I live in Oakland, CA in a small apartment. I didnt get a chance to start seeds this year between work and finding space. My apartment does have a roof that gets great sun (lugging water up there is a different matter). My question is - can I grow year round in 10a/10b? Im not exactly...

Last week I started a quart of sauerkraut in a rigged/re-purposed food grade plastic pickle jar. I used 2% salt by weight, added some caraway seeds and Joyner's 7 pod white powder, and covered with a double layer of cheesecloth held on by a rubber band. It turned out fantastic and was so easy...

Another way to ask would be "what's your favorite pepper pheno?" or what's your favorite pepper to look at, taste/heat not considered? I grew some very cool looking caramel bhuts and JRGS this year, both had great looks. I don't particularly care for the Moruga or apocalypse pheno and prefer...

Found a ripe and super gnarly 7 pot primo chocolate on a plant I left in my parents raised garden bed:

Thinking mostly along the lines of fresh vs dried or powdered.   I've heard that some flavors (particularly floral/perfume - I don't like this smell or flavor) can be pretty persistent in fresh pods but that it can go away when dried and powdered.   So do you have any pods you love fresh that...

Jonah, choco Primo, Aji jobito, JRGS, chilitepin X Reaper (Tepin pheno)

I've had some pods with black seeds (annum and chinense) and am wondering if anything causes it or can help prevent it.   Granted, some sat on the counter for a few days, but I've also see some in fresh picked pods. Thanks!

Wondering if red or yellow showed up first?
