Hi, I have always treated all my pepper plants exactly the same way and they all do differently. Some do better than others. I have recently started thinking that maybe they have differing nutrient requirements and I should treat them that way. I am wondering if I am the only one and...

Hi Everyone, I have actually just noticed something peculiar about every one of my seven pod plants (and I have 7 small plants still indoors waiting for the weather to become nice enough to be brought outside.) Every single one of them has the leaves yellowing in a mottled pattern. The plants...

Hi All, The leaves on my plants are coming up yellow and some leaves are curling. I am decided to use Epsom Salts for the first time. I have read fairly extensively on the subject but haven't had some specific questions answered. So...where to get the very best, tried and true...

Hi everyone, I received some seeds for some unusual pepper types this year and began germinating in February. My pepper garden is going great guns and I thought I'd share some images with you all. I really hope that your season this year is fantastic! I'll be hanging around a while catching...

Hello Everyone, Hope you are all having a great Pepper Growing Season (At least us Northern Souls, that is) -- I am about to start harvesting some ripe peppers and thought I'd post some pictures before I do. Haven't done so this season at all and my peppers are absolutely wild!! Here are a...

Hello All, I have 25 plants growing in my basement waiting for the all clear signal to move out into the garden. Here's a couple pictures of them: and Here's how they stack up...I have 5 Seven Pods, 4 Naga Morich, 4 Red Scotch Bonnets, 3 Bhut Jolokias, 2 Trinidad Scorpions, 2 Fatalii, 2...

'Kay. I tried my first fresh Naga Morich yesterday. I tried a small piece from the middle of the pod and, to tell you the truth, I was disappointed. It's been a cool, wet Summer so I knew not to expect any 1.5 million hottie, but it seemed milder than the Scorpions and Seven Pods...maybe more...

I have a dream to take a well established 2 year old Seven Pod plant with a thick, woody trunk and graft branches from maybe 3 other peppers onto it. I'm thinking maybe a Fatalii branch, a Naga and a Bhut Jolokia. I have so little room to over winter plants that such a creation would provide...

Hey! We have two new little interlopers in our yard & garden. We've never seen the like of them before. Can any of you please help us to identify them? Neither seems aggressive or even seems to be doing damage. They both just sit .. and sit .. and sit. and Should I be worried?

Hi All, Here are some images of peppers in my garden. The first two are Cveta Hots; seeds provided by 915River: This is my first Fatalii; seeds from PDreadie: This one is a ripening Red Scotch Bonnet; seeds from Radman:

I have been using CFL bulbs through the winter and have been very happy with them. The plants have loved them, they use very little electricity for the high wattages I've been able to achieve and they don't get hot, meaning I can place the light closer to the plants. All in all, I've been...

I really need some help planning out my garden. Here are the pepper plants I am currently growing: Fatalii, Bhut Jolokia, Naga Morich, Orange Habs, Mustard Habs, Seven Pods, Trinidad Scorpions, Red Scotch Bonnets, Jalapeno/Habanero cross (Jalabanero?), Red Savina Habs and Cveta Hots...

I am noticing that my plants have all turned to face their light sources and I am wondering if there is any problem letting them sit in the same position since their leaves all seem to be sprouting in a single direction. Do you all rotate your plants to prevent this or is it a non-issue?

Okay, so I decided last Fall to Over-Winter my pride and joy seven pod plant. I cut it right down and figured that it would quietly rest through the cold Winter months and bounce back to life with a vengeance in May when I could I put it back out side. To my surprise it really took to it's new...

You guys from Australia complaining about your weather...take a look at these...taken a few moments ago: Out our front window: looking towards our driveway: and...into our back yard...I grow my peppers under there:

...I am irrationally proud! and with the lights on... I have two 100 watt CFL bulbs giving off a combined 3200 Lumens. They are 6500 K bulbs. Good for the little seedlings at this stage...right? As well, I am keeping the domed lid propped open an inch as I have a few seedlings and a few...

Hi Everyone, I'll be starting my seeds germinating tomorrow...do I have to have the lights shining down on the soil as the seeds germinate? Or is the light not necessary until after the seedlings emerge? Thanks!

Just out of curiosity, how do you feel about those food items which are hot but...different? You know, horse radish, wasabi, hot mustard...even ginger. In particular, the way that horse radish goes right through your sinuses...chilis don't do that. Would you say that if you like hot foods...

I have been scouring the internet looking for the most complete, comprehensive scoville list but haven't been able to find one. In particular, I note that most lists include one or two superhots but not all of them. Have any of you found such a list that is up to date enough to include all the...

I have some flowers on a plant I am over-wintering, and though actually having peppers develop wasn't part of my original plan, I'd like to try and see what happens. Have to admit, though, that I don't know how to pollinate the flowers. What do I do? Do I get a Q-Tip and touch "something"...
