    How bout them peppers?

    I thought Rhiannon was from Barbados? NM If you look around, you will see that the majority grow just about any pepper that they can get their hands on. I only have 3 supers growing but have a number of "normal" hots that I like to give out. We grow because it's fun and in some cases, very...

    chinense bhut jolokia / naga jolokia

    I thought it was the same chili and the name difference came from which side of the river (or mountain, depending on source) that it was found on. To throw more confusion into it... what about Bih jolokia?

    scovilles Let's talk Scoville scale

    This video was posted on another thread but I like it. It doesn't really break down into scoville units but it's an informative video anyway. http://www.pbs.org/saf/1105/video/watchonline.htm I learned a few years ago about how to order hot food in asian restaurants. When I order pad thai spicy...

    No idea when we were supposed to post but since I missed the last couple and it is the last day of the year, I thought I would post. Nowhere near SS and GGM but I do have flowers starting (and edema) and obviously my light is too close... Oh well, at least I should get peppers off these...

    SL, that may have started out ghetto but it ended up pro, that is a wicked set up. Yep, silliman, that is pretty tough to beat. I have since bought and added a 24w t5 sunblaster flourescent. Also for the grow challenge I have a smaller set up :-)

    How about this? slat frame from my new dishwasher cut down and reformed, 2 desk lamps and 2 lamp fixtures with pie plate reflectors and one clip on work lamp.

    The Fluorescent Grow Challange...

    Fair enough, thanks. On a side note, I took the top off my seedlings and managed to burn a couple with the cfl, sigh. Not bad and I'm sure they will recover but it will slow the grow down. SL sorry to hear about yours, I get worried when I leave mine on the radiator too long and that doesnt get...

    The Fluorescent Grow Challange...

    Stopped into the local hydro shop today to check out lights. My choice was a 200w cfl at 120$ or a 24" flouro t5 for 40... So, while getting rung in for the t5, I asked if she had any nutrient samples, she grabs a box and says try these out. Anyone use Grotek? Its a 4 pack of 250ml each of heavy...

    Peppers are good for you

    You might be better off cutting the bottle in half, putting the plant inside and sealing it back up for a mini greenhouse.
