What kind of nutrients have you all had success with? I have a scotch bonnet and three naga jolokias I just started using fish emulsion on...any other recommendations? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Generally speaking what kinds of insecticides do you guys like to use? Specifically, I've been having a big problem with those tiny and powdery white-flies on my ghost and scotch bonnet plants. These guys have been setting up shop on the underside of the leaves and I haven't been able to win...

Hey everyone, I'm a novice grower that's been "growing peppers" for several years but I'm looking to get serious about it. I'd like to do more than just pour water into dirt that happens to have a pepper plant growing in it. I'm looking for tips on everything; nutrition, water...

I've read a lot of posts from people talking about a soap-based peppers spray they use to take care of pests and wanted to know exactly what it was. Recently I read a post by Prehensile about a problem he had with some neglected plants, which was solved by this "Soapy Pepper Spray." I took my...

I have a 7 Pot pepper plant that's recently developed a whitefly problem. Does anyone have any tips for eradication/prevention specific to whitefly they can offer me? So far I've been using this Earthtone Insect Control spray and while the infestation hasn't gotten any worse it hasn't killed...

I'm about to transplant my 7 Pot pepper into a bigger pot, after I get the plant in the new pot should I water the plant to help it settle in? I watered it the day before yesterday with fish emulsion if that matters. Also, if you have any extra tips about transplanting please let me know...

When you want to harvest seeds from a pod you've grown should you start the growing process with them ASAP or can you throw them in a container and hang on to them for a little bit? Any other tips on seed harvesting would be appreciated too!

Posted this question in another topic, but the topic is starting to derail and splinter so I thought I'd post a new one. PEPPER PRODUCTION: I have a 7 pot producing about 13-15 peppers, is that low, medium, or high yield. I.E. Is that an indication something went wrong. POLLINATION: Paint...

Is there a general group that peppers like Naga Jolokia, Trinidad Scorpion, Naga Morich, etc. all belong to? In other words, is there a class or family of peppers they all belong to with that wrinkly and bumpy appearance and extreme heat?

What's up everyone, For the past few months I've been growing a few jolokia-variety peppers, the only one I've gotten to produce peppers so far is my 7 pot though. Basically I wanted to know what kind of color/size I should expect from these peppers and when I should be harvesting them. This...

What's up everyone. Just wanted to introduce myself, can't believe I didn't think to look for a site like this until now and I'm glad I found The Hot Pepper. I've got ton's of question I want to throw at the forum and a lot of interest in anything on the scoville scale so I look forward to...
