Well I had my first mini harvest. A couple Sriracha Jalapenos,a Ringleader, and one Acoma Pueblo. The AP was nice, but not as rich flavored and I had hoped. I still think it will make a nice base for a cross. The Ringleader was a disappointment, it has almost zero heat. I was under the...

Are you sure it wasn't a Pakistani Naga crossed with a red habanero from St Vincent? Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

I'm getting excited to try the Acoma Pueblo chile (2nd photo above). It's growing well and looks a lot like a Pasilla I grew a few years back which I really liked. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

You can try a used coffee grounds tea spray. I have used this in the past. Tom Broome has a recipe here somewhere. Caffeine has a similar mode of action as Neonics such as imidacloprid or thiacloprid. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

Another update. More annuums. And I made myself an electric [emoji219] out of a dollar store electric toothbrush and a paint brush. Nothing much happening outside because the daily torrential rain completely ruined my fall season start. I have a pitiful tray of 4" plants that were pretty...

Try the coffee grounds as mulch. It helps. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

I'm in south FL. First you will need to locate and remove any other host plants in your yard that may be harboring whiteflies, I had angels Trumpets that were a nightmare of whitefly. If you can't remove them, then keep them treated with a systemic insecticide labeled for whitefly. You have to...

Saturday update. The kratky annuum plants are kicking in. Slower progress on baccatum and hybrids. Harvested a few new cross fruit. The small red pods are an interesting mix between baccatum and chinense on this F2. Upright facing pods stay very small and have ridges inherited from the starfish...

Almost any baccatum is a good choice, aji Pineapple, Aji Cristal, aji Amarillo, so many choices. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

Another small update... Harvested a few Sungold Habanero F3s for seed, the flavor was right on, a nice light habanero flavor with a bit more sweetness from the Roxa parentage. The Kratky annuum plants are all flowering now, but no fruit set yet, so I'm trying hand pollinating. Got a few new...

Minor update. Kratky peppers still going strong. Outside not so much, it's been raining every damn day which is not helping things. The Potting soil, even the moisture control version, is staying saturated and breaking down. I have to switch to 100% coir in the future. The peat based soil just...

All of this is assuming that the plant in question is actually an F1 and not simply called that to deter growers from saving seeds. That may not be true. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk
