What varieties would you suggest if I'm looking for something where the heat hits, but doesn't stick around long?  

I'll be growing indoors this winter again.  I've tried hand pollinating before, with okay results, but was wondering if y'all can suggest any peppers that tend to self-pollinate effectively?  

I recently got into a house and would like to re-start growing indoors.  Previously I had used a walk-in closet as a grow environment.  I'd like to grow indoors since I have a very shaded yard and a short season.   Anyone have thoughts on the advantages or disadvantages of purchasing a grow...

I've been growing indoors for about a year now. Today I moved several of my older plants outside. I'm not even sure they'll survive the winds, but I needed space in my grow area. I've been having a bit of a problem with plants getting not exactly leggy, but not all that bushy, either. At the...

Hey all, I'm visiting SD and SF for most of July this summer. Any suggestions on things, spicy and otherwise, to do? I'd also be happy to have a beer with any forum members! Jare

Normally I grow in soil, but I decided to add a single-plant hydro setup a while back. I chose three different peppers to attempt to root in cubes of rock wool, and chose the healthiest. Unfortunately, I lost the chart that explained what each cube was. Here are a few pictures of the pod. (I...

Hey all, Haven't been around for a while. Pretty busy with school and work. Very happy, though, that my garden has survived my lack of consistent attention and is starting to produce. Enjoy! (Also, if you know what the first picture is, let me know! Would love to know what it might be...

I've seen a number of people with really nice pods for sale, but mostly either shipping in Australia or the U.S. Just ordered 4 sauces from justaguy and 3 powders from cmpman1974, but would love to try some fresh peppers, especially with my indoor garden still not producing. If you've...

I know with some plants you can modify the light cycle to essentially force flowering. Is there something similar you can do with peppers? My grow is indoor and some of the plants are getting a bit unwieldy.

I really wish I didn't have to ask this, but I lost one of my plant room "maps" and I'm not sure what the pepper below is. I know, roughly, what I've planted, so I'll recognize it if someones get it right. Not too much information besides what you can see. They've been green forever with no...

The whole collection: Aji Habanero: obviously a bit leggy, but first to flower. Chocolate Habanero: Dorset Naga: Fatalii: (I'm most excited for this pepper!) Outside of a generically-labelled Thai chili, I've never grown peppers. Here's my current (indoor) grow. A lot to learn...

Hi all, I'm moving tonight and would love to cook a bit of Mexican in my new place. The thing is, I don't really know much about Mexican cuisine, or what would be good. I'm lactose-intolerant, though I can take pills, so I'd prefer not ultra-heavy on the cheese. I have orange habaneros and a...

Hey all, Running a 4L bubble bucket setup with one chocolate habanero. How often do you feed your plants in a hydro setup? Any rules of thumb? And my big question is: when I'm adding ferts now, do I add the amount recommended for the whole 4 litres, or some smaller amount? I have no idea...

I started 4 different rockwool cubes after setting up a single-plant bubbler. Given my luck germinating seeds, I figured I'd be alright. Chocolate habanero came up and went into the hydro... several days later my lemon drop, goat pepper and lemon basil sprouted! Good! Bad! Confusing! I...

Long-time soil grower, first-time hydro grower (hopefully!): I started seeds in rockwool cubes. My first one has popped. How big should I let it get before I start up the hydroponic system? I have a one-bucket bubbler. The bucket has a basket in the top. My understanding is that I put...

I planted a bunch of seeds in peat pellets, but unfortunately only 3 came up. Those 3, a serrano, an aji habanero, and a yellow 7 pot, are now in soil. All still have their cotelydons, though you can see the first set of true leaves beginning to form. When do you all usually wait to start...

What peppers would you all recommend for a slow, building sort of heat? I've had a few punch me in the face right out of the gate, but I really do love a delayed, encompassing burn.

Went to a grow shop today to pick up a bulb, and got chatting with the owner. He's hoping I can help identify the pepper below. He has no idea if it's edible or ornamental. The only information I could get is, I think, that the pepper starts purple, then goes sort of yellow, then red. I...

I'd like to put together a smallish, basic hydroponic system. I've been growing in soil for years and want to try something. Rather than getting the dude at the local hydro store put one together, I'd like to try a basic design. The thing is, I know very little about hydroponic systems, and...

Title about says it... I've never had a noticeable endorphin rush from peppers. What's your experience, in terms of length? Or any comments on intensity.
