    media Jiffy Professional Heated Greenhouse question

    I'm not a fan of the peat plugs that are recommended, and I'm looking to try something new. Until now, I've been using small bathroom drinking cups filled with coco coir and setting them in there to start my seeds. What I'm thinking is to fill the entire thing with a potting and seeding mix...

    Pepper scented candles?

    Searched without any luck, has anyone ever attempted to make pepper scented candles? I'm thinking that a bhut scented candle might be pretty nice. Maybe an orange or choccy hab. On my desk I'm looking at a cranberry, a black cherry, and a vanilla candle. Why not peppers? Do candles think...

    e-book readers are awesome!

    Not only can I carry around tons of books on one single device or SD card, I packed up 99% of my dead tree books and put them in storage and freed up a metric buttload of space. Anyone else have one? I haven't read this much in quite a long time, it feels good to get back into that habit. Easy...

    Skydiver's 2011 Grow Log

    No pics as of yet, but seeing as how the seeds I ordered a few days ago arrived and everything is ready, thought I'd get this started. (big ups to Judy at pepperlover.com and Cappy) Going to be hitting the store in a few minutes to pick up some more coir and small bathroom cups to start things...

    Anyone else get sauce stage fright?

    So I made two batches of sauce last year. Cross Eyed Rosie was the first, was pretty meh in my opinion. My second sauce was much better as I used all of my tastiest peppers and added some watermelon puree and it's hot as all get out, but I've found myself on both occasions to be nervous about...

    Looking for input on varieties for this season.

    It's getting to be that time again, time to start my seeds soon. I've already assembled all the stuff I'll need, disinfected the lot, but now I'm having a serious brainfart. I'm trying to decide what to plant! Here's what I've got on hand: Douglah 7 Pod Brain Strain Orange Habs What I...

    What the heck is going on?

    I have no clue what the heck is going on. The Momster doesn't go anywhere near my seed collection. She wouldn't switch things around on me. I have been extremely diligent in labelling seeds and sprouts and everything very carefully. I paid as much attention to what went where as I did when I...

    ATTN: If I sent you Aribibi Gusano seeds

    I'm not sure who I sent any of those seeds to, but they aren't growing true for me. This is a pic of the pepper that's growing on the plant I grew from the seeds I collected from last year. Does not look like what I remember. This is a pic of the entire plant. The leaves are much larger...

    Has anyone frozen pollen for use at a later date?

    If so, how did it fare? I've read around that frozen pollen will not be as viable as the fresh stuff but it should still work. I ask because my red devil's tongue pepper I'm going to cross breed was started later than my first run, so no flowers yet. I'm going to go collect pollen from a few...

    Has anyone ever heard of these two peppers?

    So I was at the local greenhouse poking around, made a few pepper purchases. Couldn't help myself. Some of them I either know about or found info on already: Red Mushroom (kinda excited about this one) Bulgarian Carrot (liked the name) Super Chilli (remember seeing Neil's vid) White Habanero...

    Sky's 2010 Non-pepper grow thread

    Just starting this topic to start it, I will need to snag some pics later. Growing some stuff other than peppers from seeds this year instead of buying stuff from greenhouses. My list consists of commercially available stuff (read as: stuff I bought in home depot and true value stores), so it's...

    in-ground What's your minimum average outdoor nighttime temps to put your plants in the ground?

    Not looking for anything scientific, but if you have some knowledge to drop on the board for the betterment of all growers, that would be outstanding, just trying to get a feel for what sort of temps everyone looks for to safely transplant your peppers into the ground.

    Yay sunshine!

    I don't care if the weather channel says it's 42 degrees F. The sun is shining and I'm wearing a pair of shorts to walk my dog.
