Hi, I'm here to query the community's knowledge of pepper diseases/infections.   Back story: This is a Big Sweet Chocolate Pepper plant purchased May 2017 from RFC. Shortly after transplanting outside, it got smashed by a huge hail storm. It mostly came back and delivered one runty but healthy...

Hello all!   I had a decent sized grow last year, but this will be my first Glog.   I'm still just growing for fun as the first priority. Some other goals are: to make some white and yellow hot sauces (hence the White Ghost and yellow cultivars), to practice crossing (no specific crosses planned...

It was brought up in the 2017 Growdown Throwdown thread that it might be easier to organize regional/specific growing competitions if there was a subforum for that. Mentioned here http://thehotpepper.com/topic/63073-growdown-throwdown-2017-aji-lemon-drop/page-71   While it certainly works to...

Hi, I figured I would query the knowledge base here rather quickly.   The lower portion of some stems are getting weak and are turning a slightly brown color. It originally looked like damping off to me, but I think it might be a genetic problem. Either a predisposition for a certain infection...

Hello!   I've been lurking a little for the last couple years and this year I've decided to ramp up my hot pepper growing. I guess that means it's finally time for an account.   I've always liked spicy food (way hotter than my friends/family, but probably below average for this crowd!) and have...
