Hi, I already posted this in a different section, but someone was so helpful to recommend the Grow tech section. The issue. Every year, when I move my chiles outside, they get a sunburn, which frustrates the hell out of me, because of the slow down in further growth, and I have been thinking...

Hi, CFLs are perfect for growth, have a pure visible spectrum, 400nm-700nm. Morning light is an option if you have that possibility, meaning, if your growth room has windows at the South-East side. Sadly enough this is not truth for me and windows are on the North-west side. Will check the Grow...

Hi, Haven't been able to post in a long time because of job issues, but I hope to pick it up again in 2013. Every year, when I move my chiles outside, they get a sunburn, which frustrates the hell out of me, because of the slow down in further growth, and I have been thinking for a while about...

Hi guys, Last time I posted regarding the C. Eximium which I got from from seedsavers, and which did not turn out to be an eximium, but as someone knew, a CAP 1546. This plant has turned out gorgiously and I am looking forward tasting the peppers. From the same org came small rocoto seeds...

Megamaster71, I have a question. I did some more browsing, and found a few posts from you at the wild chilli forum that mention Eximium CAP 1546. So what is the origin of the CAP 1546. What is the cross? Thank you for providing me with more information about this pepper. Megamaster71, tengo una...

Wow !!! Great (not about the eximium being a CAP 1546 though).Thank you guys. Found a few links, and I think that you are indeed right: And for dear megamastger71 a google translation: Wow! Grandes (y no sobre la eximium ser un CAP 1546 sin embargo). Gracias chicos. Encontrado algunos...

Thanks for the suggestions. The explosive ember is indeed an excellent match. However, with this plant the pods grow in clusters, and with my plant they stand single. So, might be an explosive ember cross. Definitely not the chinese 5 color. All pods are uniform purple. The purple Pequin plant...

Hi guys, Last year I got some seed from Seedsavers, among which the C. Eximium, Manzano (Rocoto Grande) and a small Rocoto. The Manzano's all turned out to be truth manzano, but from the small Rocoto more than half are a different type of pepper, definitely annuum, with small pods, less than an...

I have a question for those of you who grow Black Seaman. Last year someone on this forum send me seeds, and for the first year, I put them in pots as a trial. The results were awesome, and we loved the taste of these Black Seaman. I kept seeds and this year I planted them in full soil. The...

Hi Patrick, and thanks for the links, and don't worry about your post. No damage done. In general lowering the pH is indeed easy, but not in the area where I like. The mountain range where I live is pure calcium, and all the run-offs keep the soil pretty alkaline. My best remedy is to yearly...

Well, the problem has solved itself. Since mid April when I got them out, it has been 80ies during the day, down to 50ies at night. Suddenly since almost a week, night temps have gone up to 70ies, combined with daily thunderstorms. This apparently gave all peppers a big boost, because they all...

Hi Patrick. The Cellmax has a Ph in between 5.8 and 6.5 (I add calcium), and my garden soil has a Ph of about 7.5. Maybe another detail about the plants, and my apologies that I did not have the time to post a picture. The leaves are not smooth, but are full with crinkles. I remember reading...

I think it's unlikely that the soil is at the root of the problem. Most of the plants are standing in solid ground, next to tomatoes which are this year growing as I have never seen before. The other plants I have in CellMax, which I also use for germination and till the plants go outside. My...

Hi guys, I haven't posted in a while, too busy, but now I have to ask some advice. Because of the awesome weather we are having this year, I planted all peppers outside in the middle of April. They all picked up very good, but ... they are not gaining any height at all. They are one big bush of...

Thanks guys. I appreciate all the advice. Aphids, I am surprised. Like I said, I do have a very limited number of flying aphids, so not the type that sticks to the bottom the leaves. I did notice quite a while back that some annuum have misformed top leaves, and I do know that this is a reaction...

SORRY. Was a too long day. Correction "let their head HANG down"

Dear sri, I only water when the plants get sad, let their head hand down. Aphids, have a few flying aphids, but very limited. A yellow bowl with soap water takes good care of them.

Typo. sorry. does this give any more information? Has anyone seen this before?

Here the pictures which I promised. The 1st two, good examples of how it looks like: And, one forming new buds and one getting fresh leaves. This this give any more information? Is definitely not at matter of too much water.

Thanks guys. Is indeed only the very youngest leaves. The rest are healthy. I have thought about the environment too. Water: is clean mountain spring water (am in the Alps), no chemicals, and I always have it sitting half a week to get to temperature. The water is pretty hard, as the montains...
