I have fluffy coco coir and perlite etc from my pepper endeavours, a lot of the people up here seem to like paper towel more so I decided to start with that but I think I'm transferring this to another substrate (if these seeds can even be saved at this point, ugh) and starting my other ones...

Earlier this month I got REALLY into gesneriads. They're the subclass of plants that include African Violets. At this moment I'm more into Streptocarpus or Cape Primroses, but they're all so pretty! The cool thing about streps is that their genetics are just as varied as dahlias - dahlias have 8...

Well, it’s been awhile friends! Honestly, the last year and a half has been… rough. I’m hoping I’ve turned the corner and will have bandwidth for everything again so I’m dipping my toe back into THP. This glog is for my indoor plants and my raised bed at the community garden, pictured here close...

reviving this thread but with cultural info - I'm half Chinese - in my family, it's not called anything, just something we do, but only with dried peppers. The fresh ones might be more regional. My mother keeps two jugs of soy sauce, one spicy one, one without. The peppers do rehydrate ever so...

Turns out that all the municipal gardens around (I got a plot this year!!!) use fermented compost from the zoo. Maybe that's just the stuff to get everything going!

I didn’t end up putting any in the soil either, but I think I will this week to scratch the itch. I think you’re the winner, Marc!

Back from the (almost) dead. I got some more towards the end but posting here hasn’t been a priority due some mental and physical health issues. Now, do I send my seed straight to Chris? Or to Guru?

Deadpouk, I'm genuinely in awe of your plant. With our pots being similar sizes I was hoping mine would reach your heights but it wasn't meant to be!

Quiet, I don’t even have my seeds in yet! I’ve been more busy than I’d like. Oh well, such is life. Anyone see any sprouts yet?

3 in one post. Everything has been hectic but plant is still doing ok. Now some of the later pods are coming out lemon shaped?? 21 (first harvest) plus these three for a modest 207g.

First ones! Now that the heat is gone starting to see some flower action again. The darker one grew facing the sky so it’s stripe came in as a blob lol. I cut down my stems for a more accurate weight but I see skullbiker left his on - I’d love to see a re weigh 😂

soon…

Mystery time! the round one might actually be a rocoto??? Anthro one looking prettier by the day super hot (?) looking hot Jalapeno??? and the rest waaaay too soon to tell but fun

End of July/beginning of august update! Everything is trucking along. El Incendo finally got with the program and my Ancho really is a Bola :( mystery updates going in to the mystery glog. Waiting for things to ripen beyond a pod or two now! Fish Aji Omnicolor Chile de Comida Gator...

Same kind of weather as Bou over here which is still killing off all the new growth after whatever trauma the plant decided it had. Just waiting for some orange now!!
