I have a couple seedlings that are popping up and have like one leaf. Both are from different kinds of chili. They seem to be ok for the most part, a lot of other seedlings in the seed tray are doing incredibly well, while my naga and barrakapore seem to be a little gimpy. Could it be a...

A whole 360g/.78lbs of Fresno's. I just ate the most ripe one, had the slightest hint of red on the side. It burned the ever living shit out of my stomach. Burned my mouth good too. Needless to say, I don't think I'll ever be eating a whole habby or hotter. I had surgery on my stomach a...

Habanero's might not be "super" hots but they're pretty damn hot. Fresno's by comparison, if one were to use the scoville scale, are mild. There is a variable here, FRESHNESS. I pulled another immature Fresno from one of my plants today. It has HEAT. Granted, it doesn't sear the way a...

I'm gonna get some guano tomorrow to try and help the fruit set/growth. I keep reading to make a tea with it but I can't find any information on how to do it.

Total mod cost is near $40.00. Not too good considering my mod is sketchy. Seems like it'll work well, though. Purchased a 25'x14" roll of aluminum. Only thing that sux is that is has no backbone of it's own. I'm lucky the grill fits in it snug as hell, so that gives it a bit of rigidity...

Spotted it today at lunch. Kinda neat.

Lemon Grass, we had these plants when I was growing up, knee high to a grass hopper. I loved the scent so much, I'd roll up a blade of the grass into a little ball, and then put it in my nose so I could smell it for a long time. These days, though I'm tempted, I don't do that any longer. I...

Pork Ribs, Pork Butt (why it's called butt when it's shoulder, I dunno) Home made BBQ sauce gonna round it out in a while.

Here is a pic of some buds that were aborted the next day after a neeming. Poor lil guys...they were on the Habanero I'm not sure what to do now, the neem has been good at keeping the aphids away. On the other hand, it could help the plant make some quality pods whilest simultaneously...

Anyone know if eating chili affects your taste buds? I know smoking cigars does, or has had an effect on my taste buds. Kind of dulls things. I only smoke those on occasion now, was almost daily till I started noticing the effect. We made a home made BBQ sauce, my touch was a little pepper...

I have 7 Fresno Chili, 3 Tequila Sunrise and one Habanero. I don't know what kind of Hab, the stick just said Habanero. 2 of the Tequila Sunrise and one of the Fresno chili's got planted in some really crappy soil. I gave them a dose of Mag/Sulfate, after three days they didn't respond. I...

I bought some bad soil at the box home improvement spot. Right under $7.00 a bag so I had to try. "For Vergatables" it says... It was 2.0 cu ft so it was more and cheaper than the 15+- I was paying for 1.5 cu ft of fox farm. Live and learn. Looks like little more than wood chips with...

I was posed with a problem, not enough room to fit all he hot dogs on the grill for the kids at our BBQ. I was smoking meat already and still needed to fit the dogs on for the kids coming out of the pool in a while. Here was my solution. Bamboo skewers. A lot of hot dogs and time in the smoker.

So as posted on in My Everything post, I had some smoked ribs over the weekend. They came out amazing. I used the 5 brick method Bams BBQ linked me to and it worked famously. So, there's only two of us and we had some ribs left still to this day. What to do what to do. So I call in my lunch...

Sunburn? Soon as they aren't in the direct sun, round 2:00pm, they seem to perk back up and not droop. I'm thinking they can't take the full sun. But, it's only for 3 hours, and it's the only "direct" sun they get. The rest of the day they are in the shade. They seem to droop a bit and now...

So I've always had a green thumb, (yes, and no, I have no idea what you're talking about). I grew things since I was knee high to a grasshopper. Avacado trees and random plants and cacti. Nothing major. Always liked chili too, but not ever a really big fan. For some unknown reason this year...

I'm not sure where to post this question, since it's mostly just a question. A while back I saw some kind of show about a gel that held more than ten times it's own weight in water. You'd place it next to your plant and it's keep the soil moist as needed for the plant. My idea comes from...

This is my grill, smoker & bbq'er. Going to enter a Tri Tip cook off with the smoked angle. Getting to know this BBQ grill pretty well. I'm putting in my time and earning my stripes. Cook Off isn't till June. I believe I'm giving myself a good chance to win.

I'll be keeping a log of the growth of my chili's. I'm pretty much shooting from the hip with basic knowledge of how to grow things. I know soil+water+sun has worked pretty well as tested by humans over time. I also know a little bit on the NPK area. When my plants have strong roots I'll be...
