Hey,   I just notices that the leaves that first appeared on my plants (the oldest ones - mainly the ones before the first Y split) got very big. I remember in previous years they started to fall once the plant got a bit bigger, but now I'm growing hyroponically and they still linger on, most of...

Hi,   I found some eggs and baby bugs on the bottom of a leaf. Can you please help me id them? You can zoom in on the picture, as it is pretty high-res.   Thanks a bunch!     I'm guessing it's something like sting bugs, so if I don't get any answer in a few hours I will discard the leaf in...

Hi,   Ever since I've switched the light from a 85W CFL to a 250W HPS, my 4 chili plants keep having droopy leaves at the end of the day/evening. I don't know how they do during the day because I am at work, but in the morning they look almost fine (so after dark hours).   I run the light 16/8...

Hey all,   This is my third year growing hot peppers, but my first glog. Last year I've gone overboard and tried taking care of 50 plants, all in coco - which was a bit much for me and the results were not that great (also we've had REALLY cold weather last summer).   This year I am trying my...

Hello   I am curious about this new chilli and am trying to get seeds for this season. The only website I've found that sells them is this http://chilipepperseeds.tictail.com/product/big-black-mama-10-seeds Is it reliable?   I would prefer to get them from somewhere in Europe, but didn't find...

Hi   I had this strange thing happen to me yesterday. I have a hp22b growing in a DWC bucket and one of the (small) branches started to look like a wilted underwatered plant - it was just this small branch (about 10 leaves, just starting to show signs of budding up), the rest of the plant was...

Hi,   All the pubescent plants I put outside exhibit this problem. The leaves are curled down and really close to the "body" of the plant, like it's trying to take as little a space as possible.   I will post a picture tomorrow when there will be more light. Imagine a plant with droopy leaves...

Hi,   I live somewhere in Europe, so what I buy is from GHE (made in France, not the USA), but the labels show the same content for each of the Flora 3-part series (what I use at the moment).   The dilemma I have is that the dosage printed on my label (the GHE stuff) is much lower than the...

Hey,   Searching for some hydro growing info (most I've found was canna growers forums) I just stumbled upon this: http://cdn.intechopen.com/pdfs-wm/33765.pdf   It's a bit long, but very in-depth, covering a lot of stuff from nutrients, temperatures, ph and oxygen levels.   Sorry if this has...

Hi   This year I'm trying my hand at a hydro grow (just to see how it goes). The "victim" is a hp22b in a dwc bucket.   My question for you guys wold be what temperature should I keep my reservoir at? More likely, what temperatures should I keep it within for optimal/acceptable growth? (I will...

Hi all   Hope everyone's season started well this year!   I have started a few varieties myself in mid january and they seem to be asking for a pot up really soon. The thing is I don't really want to do it for lack of space and not wanting to use more pot sizes.   A couple of days ago I stumbled...

Hi,   I want to try my hand at hydro this year and summer time temps being a bit to high around here, I will be growing the plant inside. I have two options for lightning in my price range: a 150W CFL or a 250W HPS. Growing will take place in a small bathroom/closet I don't use, not in a tent.  ...

Hi    Can anyone help me ID this bug? Iț's on my seedlings trays.     Thanks

Hi all you spicy food lovers,   With the new growing season starting I feel it's time for a change in the cooking department also (for me), so I was thinking of buying a cast-iron skillet. Could you folks help me choose a good one without spending an arm and a leg for it?   I am currently using...

Hi   I would really like to grow manzano peppers this year, but I keep finding contradicting info on the web. I already have seeds for two types of pubescens: roccoto yellow and roccoto peru cusco from two different sources, but I really want to try to grow beside them the manzano chile.    I am...

Hi   About 3 weeks ago I got all my plants inside, even though some of them were full of aphids. There were a few ladybugs between them also, so I thought I should let them figure out between themselves for a while.   After this, I went away until yesterday (asked someone to come from time to...

Hi When the cold weather started, my peppers got full of this big green bugs that can also fly. Is this bad for them? I post from my phone and can't upload pic. Will try to do that when I'll get to a computer. Thanks

Hey all,   The weather at the moment, where I live, goes up to 20-25 deg C during daytime and down to a little over 10 at night. Is this weather still good enough to keep producing pods for superhots? In about a week I think the night-time temps will drop below 10 - won't it be too cold then?  ...

Hi   Today I've tried for the first time to make poppers. I don't have jalapenos so I went with went habs...   Anyway, everywhere I found on the web, the cooking temperature in the oven was 365-400F for 20-25min. I used 375 (190C) and after 5 minutes my whole house was full of smoke.. after...

Hi all, I need some advice for setting up a grow area for when the season ends. I was thinking of buying some kind of a HID lamp (with ballast and reflector) and a tent. I don't know how much space I really need for peppers. What I want is to start about 14 varieties this fall (I'll plant...
