Hey guys,   made some sauce couple of days back using my favourite - chinense pods, this time the last of last season's crop - Jigsaw pepper from Fatalii.net . Their taste is super-intense even though they were ripening at home with a few hours of daylight only, comparing to a full summer. Can't...

+1 follower on this topic ! Very nice experiment and great that you share this with us !

If you can share the name of that spray, that would be great !

can you take a picture of the whole plant?

7pot for the flavor and great smell

Thanx Dave ! I really need to use bigger pots next season as some of the problems that you mention are appearing in my greenhouse, with multiple plants in one pot so having less space.

Beautiful glog AJ, you are the chillimaster !

Guys, one question to this regarding pot size - does it mean that too small pot causes flower drop, or too much space(extremely too much space) can cause it too ? In my experience, if the pot is rather small, the plant flowers earlier in the season, but not sure whether they would keep the...

Update 19th of July - plants looking good, nitrogen deficiency problem that occured some time ago solved - but unfortunately still dropping more flowers than I'd expect, especially the Chinenses. Peter pepper plant Bhut Jolokia Red ripening Chupetinho is one of the plants that gives nice...

Thanx very much for the advice Dave2000, due to space limitations I will not be able to change this in any dramatic way this season, but for the next year I will try to increase pot size and use only one plant per pot, and givbe them some space.

Hi Everyone, as promised I'm posting an update to the issue I've had. Based on you advices, I added nitrogen fertilizer, improved drainage of the bottom of pots by adding some expanded clay to the bottom of each pot, and opened the door in the greenhouse more, to improve airflow. results -...

Thanx everybody for the replies, I also suspected that this may be related either to over-watering or lack of nitrogen, but since I grow in a coconut coir mixed with 40% of perlite, I never had such issues before as this growing media provides plenty of oxygen and drains well. Nevertheless, I...

My beautiful Chinense plants are showing various symptoms of issues, and I don't know what to do. Once plants were put outside into a greenhouse, where they get plenty of light and high temps, they started to yellow, loose leaves, they drop flowers and have just a very few pods on the plants...

I was wondering what kind of sensor do you use to measure field moisture?

Hi, I am wondering whether Aphids can lay eggs to coconut coir ? Last year I had quite some infestation by Aphids in the greenhouse, and decided to kill the mostly damaged plants in the end. What remained is approx 70 gal of coconut fibre with Perlite, worth well $100 over here, that I don't...

Thanx everyone for the responses ! I could not keep the plants indoor anymore as they were getting simply too tall, to moved them to the greenhouse and if temps drop below 5 C I'll simply use the electric heater for a couple of hours at night. Some pics made when moving the plants outside are...

Look at my glog ( link in the signature) - I use coconut coir with perlite, for both outdoor plants in greenhouse and those that are fully outdoor with rain etc. The only problem is that if it rains too often or for too long, you need to add more ferts more often as they are flushed. Otherwise...

I do prefer to add slightly more perlite just because it helps me prevent overwatering by giving the soil less chances to retain too much water, and to promote oxygen access to the roots... I use 20% and plants seem to love it, but your mix looks good too !

looks like a typical sunburn to me
