    Hot sauce longevity?

    Hello,   First year growing/doing anything with peppers and I might have some regular orange habaneros left over. I'm drying everything else (which I imagine can still be used as normal, non-dried peppers for all intents and purposes), but I was thinking about making a sauce... something simple...

    Best spot in my yard for plants?

    Hi all,   Now that it is getting close to plant out time, I'm wondering where the best spot would be to put the things. I've got 18 5-gallon fabric pots for now, but would like to get some raised beds in the future. This will be a two question topic, so hopefully we can knock out both.   First...

    soil Thoughts on my first soil mix?

    I was running around yesterday getting soil and preparing for moving my peppers outside permanently. After calculations, I need about 12 cubic feet of soil for my 18 5-gallon fabric pots. With that, I picked up two bags of the compressed ProMix, so 8 cubic feet when expanded. Since this...

    health Something wrong with my peppers?

    First off, pictures --   http://imgur.com/a/pPVNX#1   First is a shot showing the overall plant height. Not much concern there, but I really expected them to be taller by now. I started everything from seed in I believe late February with the plants a few inches from a 300w LED. Media used was...

    Filling many pots cheaply?

    So I've got a little over 15 plants for my first grow and with them, an equal amount of 5 gallon fabric pots. I feel to novice to mix my own soil and don't want to ruin my entire harvest, but I'm unsure of a cheap method for filling all these pots. A local CostCo has regular MiracleGro potting...

    in-ground Raised Beds vs In Ground and a Soil Question

    I've been contemplating this for a while, but can't quite come to a conclusion - how exactly are raised beds different than a traditional garden? Most raised beds don't have a bottom, so wouldn't the roots eventually go in the ground anyways? I'm also seeing that many raised beds aren't too...

    seeds What's going on with my seedling? Can they be saved?

    First and foremost, pictures --   http://imgur.com/a/FDN61   What you see there are two of my chocolate habanero seedlings. As you can see, the cotys on plant 1 are basically all white, but as of now they have yet to shrivel. Plant 2 is white and shriveling. These pictures were taken last night...

    How are we looking?

    First and foremost, here are some pictures --   http://imgur.com/a/n1bLK#0   Top image is general setup. What you see is a 350w LED light and, to the left, a blade-less tower fan.   Didn't really know of the best way to take any pictures, so hopefully the bottom two pictures give a general idea...

    First year growing; when/how to move outdoors?

    Hello again,   As the title states, this is my first year growing (anything, not just peppers) and I currently have about a dozen plants under a 350w LED light. They are between an inch to three inches tall and most have four leaves, some are starting on six (two cotyledons + whatever)... so far...

I have several pepper varieties growing --   red bhut yellow bhut trinidad douglah fatali chocolate hab regular hab These were sowed, two seeds per cell (question on that later), directly into some Jiffy Seed Starting Mix a while back... I'd say...

    Growth has started -- what next?

    Hi all,   My germination troubles appear to be resolved after I moved them to the propagator with soil. With that, as of this morning, I have one regular hab and one red bhut poking above the soil; hopefully more soon to follow.   My question -- what do I do with these little guys? Do I keep...

    seeds Germination Troubles

    Hello All,   This is my first attempt at trying to grow anything (ever), so why not hot peppers? I know it is a tad late to start, but I have a little over a month until last frost (zone 5A, just north of Omaha, NE). To start, I ordered some seeds from PepperLover -- Chocolate Hab and Fatali...

    First ever grow - MH/HPS question

    So as the title states, I'm looking into this hobby and interested in starting some hot peppers. I bought a packet of regular habanero seeds from a local nursery and have some chocolate habaneros and fatalis on the way from pepperlover. I'm not looking to grow too many, but I have a 36 chamber...
