Just so you know... even though they are stingless they still DO bite.

Has anyone tried the Jalmundo from NMSU Chile Pepper Institute? Its supposed to be a new jumbo sized Jalapeno. http://aces.nmsu.edu/chilepepperinstitute/documents/09catalog.pdf

This one is a little better actually. I use ceramic sockets though.

Willard3, Why is there a 500 and 700 PPM measurement. Im a little confused about that part. Which is the common one to go by? Also can you recommend a good liquid fert for hydroponic growing? I've been checking out the Floranova, Earth Juice, and Iguana Juice. The EJ and IJ claim to be from...

Did some reading on EC vs. TDS meters and they say that the EC meters give a more accurate reading. True/False? Do the EC meters give you a number so you know the PPM's or is it only the TDS meter that does that? It seems like when people discuss nutes they refer to PPM's. Sorry, never used...

Im actually planning a hydroponic grow of some Bhuts and Lemondrops. I hear that they dont come out as spicy because you cant really water stress them but Im still curious.

They were 2-3 inch tall seedlings that were eaten, not ripe peppers.

Ofcourse they do, they eat anything.

I've had extremely well germination rates by soaking the seeds for 24 hours in 1 quart of room temperature drinking water with 3 drops of Superthrive.

Could even be a rodent that ate them.

Im resurrecting this old thread because Im curious to know how your plants made out since you had the problem with flowers dropping. I just bought some Ocean Forest as well. You mentioned that you repotted right before the plant started flowering and you added nutes at that time. Just so you...

My first time growing peppers I bought a little greenhouse kit that comes with a 72 cell tray, bottom container, and a plastic top. It sits on a heating mat that is connected to a temperature regulator. A little probe goes into one of the cells in the greenhouse from the regulator. I planted...

Holy Cow! Hundreds of ladybugs loose in your closet? I wouldnt be able to sleep at night :lol: Here's an idea.. you can get a box big enough to fit your plants in (or several boxes for multiple plants) then cover the top with a screen. Home Depot sells rolls of window screen 36" x 25 Feet for...

Thanks, I stopped by at OSH yesterday and picked up the Espoma brand Earth Tone insecticide (http://espoma.com/p_consumer/earth_t_overview.html). I bought the "Insect Control" (with pyrethrins - blue bottle). It should be mild to the plants. Planning on spraying them down including the soil...

When you grow so many peppers outdoors what do you do to prevent parasites or plant diseases? Do you spray with any organic material like neem oil etc?

Further research indicates that these could possibly be a mite called "Hypoaspis Miles". Supposedly a beneficial predatory mite but Im still not comfortable with them at this point. I tossed my bag of MG soil away and Im going to rinse and repot my plants with a different kind of soil. I wonder...

Sometimes magnesium deficiency can cause leaf curling. You can mix 1 to 2 tablespoons of Epsom Salt in a gallon of water then water your plants with it. Make sure you are buying pure epsom salt with no other additives or scents.

I have these very tiny bugs that are walking around on my soil and climbing out of the pots sometimes. I havent seen any of them on the plants. They seem to come out right when I water or disturb the soil. They're NOT springtails. Some research I've done suggests they could be some sort of Soil...
