    container Having a rough time growing this season

    Howdy boys, Usually I don't have much of an issue with growing peppers, but this is my first year in a new apartment with a balcony that gets no direct sunlight. I rigged up my old 300W Mars Hydro LEDs which have worked wonders for me in the past, but I am just not getting good results so far...

    How long do you normally harden off your chilies before putting them out?

    sun Problem moving plants outdoors.

    Howdy folks, long time no see! I'm running into an issue with my outdoor transplants. I grew a bunch of peppers indoors, and decided to move some outside to get them in containers to get a jump on the nice weather we've been having. I slowly hardened them off in shade, then partial shade, then...

    fermenting What do I do with this ferment?!

    Howdy guys!   I harvested a buttload of peppers from our plants this year before the freeze, and decided to start fermenting them. What you see here is two half-gallon jars of peppers, but I have no earthly idea of what to do with the contents.   I've filled them with Pakistani Green Chili...

    Ode to a awesome dude (GIP)

    GIP was one of the few folks I grew close to on this board, and his love for the grow and the food was delightful. He was one of the first people to send me a dozen varieties of seeds to help start my journey, and I was so appreciative of his help. He was truly an inspiration to us all, and I...

    I cannot get this to fruit!

      Started from seed, the same seeds the in-ground plants are started from.     Not producing at all. :(

    I cannot get this to fruit!

    Here is our in-ground chili plant. The only nutrients it receives are 1) the compost it was buried with, and 2) the mild fish tank fertilizer that gets injected via the the drip system. These guys get pretty neglected but seem to out-perform.   I'm not sure what else I can do for the potted one...

    I cannot get this to fruit!

    Yo guys! I've got this super healthy-looking Pakistani green chili that just refuses to fruit at all. Its cousins that are in the ground at work are all putting out hundreds of chilies, but this one refuses to put out even one flower. I've tried heavy dosages of K and P, to no avail. I've tried...

    What is going ON with this pepper?

      I used the recommendation above for Dr. Bronner's Castile soap. I've checked the leaves and don't see anything left on them, so I know they're gone.   I went ahead and cut the stem down like you said. I'm hoping for this plant to turn into a long-lasting indoor plant, but at the rate things...

    What is going ON with this pepper?

    So after getting rid of the aphids, I still can't seem to get this thing to bounce back. Take a look at how she looks now after a month of being aphid free:       What is happening here?

    What is going ON with this pepper?

    I hit em' with the miticide but it doesn't seem to be killing them, even with a strong concentration. What do you guys recommend?

    What is going ON with this pepper?

      You nailed it. I actually looked under my old growth, and sure enough saw an aphid crawling on the underside of the leaf. No doubt they are all over the plant.    I went ahead and hosed it down with some anti-aphid insecticide. Hopefully that takes care of the problemo.

    What is going ON with this pepper?

    Hey guys!   I've got this Pakistani green chili pepper I've been trying to grow, and I am running into this bizarre issue.   The new growth is tiny, shriveled and dying. Old growth looks great, but I fear the plant isn't going to last in this condition. Here's some pictures:       I've given...

    Indoor Tomato Issues

      A month later and the plant never recovered. Even tried CalMag treatment, lots of TLC, but it just continued to whither away until there was nothing left. Snipped the plant at the base and just called it quits. :(
