    Feels like it's been a while since I shared any images from the grow tent so without further ado: The plants are very happy and they all have pods. I probably should raise the lights because I'm getting more lateral growth than height, with the exception of the Thor's Thunderbolt. A good...

    I promised photos of the Thor's Thunderbolt, so here they are: As you can see it is very lanky and not especially thick foilage and I have pruned/topped it a few time to try and get it to grow wider/thicker but it just grows a new branch that grows vertically. Since taking these photos I have...

    pod-i.d. Help identifying chinense pepper

    So, the Murupi Amarela plant I'm growing this year turns out to not be a Murupi Amarela. I'm quite certain I havent mixed up my labels and I'm also not growing any variety that should look like this, so I could use some help in trying to figure out what it is. First some images: Most of the...

    Yeah I'm quite curious about it too. Perhaps the cold is having a bad influence on these two, or maybe it's a nutrient issue, or perhaps I just had a bad day. I have noticed that some days are worse in terms of handling capsaicin and when I tried these two it was a mediocre day at best, that...

    Pod-focused update today 🙃 As I mentioned in the previous update it was time to do the first harvest: From top left: Habanero Brown Egg, Sugar Rush Peach Striped, Black Scorpion Tongue, Bonda Ma Jacques, Thor's Thunderbolt, Papa Joe's Scotch Bonnet And as I had harvested some peppers I of...

    There is some temperature drop of course, but if I keep the windows closed it retains the temperature fairly well. But now we're heading into proper summer weather so I have to keep the windows open otherwise it gets way too hot in there, but then again, we also have higher nighttime...

    Been traveling for a few days, about 4 and a half actually. I knew this was going to be very rough for some of the hydro plants that tend to want new water after 2 days, so did what I could and watered as late as possible and kept the grow tent open to reduce heat. It was a calculated risk and...

    Forum icons?

    Understandable. Guess I will have to train my eyes to easier catch the font difference 🤓

    Forum icons?

    If my mind isn't deceiving me, the forum icons turned a different color if you had read all posts within a forum but now they always keep the same color. I'm using dark mode and the difference between bold/non-bold text to see if there are unread messages in a forum is somewhat hard to tell...

    Don't know why I put it off, but it's finally time for another update. Most of these images are at least a week old though.... First the balcony: They are growing a lot and really like being "outside". Weather has been up and down but I try to open the windows to give them some wind when the...

    I think I forgot to mention that I've tried the Black Scorpion Tongue a while back. Very interesting pepper with a distinct apple flavor and also a hint of smokiness. Very, very tasty and would probably make amazing sauce and powder. Hopefully my plants will kick into gear and I get a lot of...

    Thanks, yeah I would sort of expect the same. But info is scarce about this specific type so you never know.

    Any of you have experience growing Aji Verde or Bhut Jolokia Olive? I'm wondering if my pods are ripe or if they are some ways off still... This is the Aji Verde, the photo makes it look more red than it actually is, it looks more orange: And this is the Olive Jolokia, I know it won't turn...

    Update time, and a little bit of everything in this post. :) First off, a small harvest from my hydro plants. Yellow Bullet Habanero and Peter Pepper Red: Was away for a few days and came home to a near dead Yellow Bullet Habanero plant, didn't think it would recover so I harvested what I...

    The tarp I can understand, but objecting to the plant containers you use? That's crazy business. 🙁 Unless they complain about the actual plants, which is even worse. Anyway, I hope you can reach an agreement with the HoA that works for all parties.
