    Guru's Garden - Traveling the World in Search of Peppers

      Rich, you are taking the trip I have been wanting to take for years - have an amazing time! Bolivia is the birthplace of capsicum species (to my understanding, could be wrong), and I always dreamed of hunting down some wild species to bring back with me from there, especially after reading...

    Guru's Garden - Traveling the World in Search of Peppers

          I've got access through my school's library if you're still interested. Here's a link to the PDF of the article on my google drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fO0pNW9Q0YV6uYWywKiOuizIJ8I86A5X/view?usp=sharing

    MFRB of reapers or fatalii or both

    Hey everyone, still no frost in NY, although we’re getting close. I’ve got probably 2lbs left each of ripe reapers and ripe yellow fatalii on my plants if anyone is interested. I can send a SFRB $18 of either/both or a MFRB of either/both for $40. MFRB will be at least 2lbs, I recently fit 3lbs...

    fermenting TheGreenChileMonster Ferments Some Sauce

    This is such an awesome hot sauce log. Your stuff looks incredible... mouth is watering over here! Also, what a coincidence that I was reading this just after my (what I thought was original) cross between the Coyote Zan White and Peach Bhut germinated! So cool that your pods look exactly like...

    Trent, I’ve been meaning to ask - you said that the pods with less seeds in them seem to be more likely to have been self-pollinated, but I’ve found in my personal experience that any pepper that I intentionally cross pollinate always has way less seeds than normal. I was just wondering if you...

    contest Growdown Throwdown 2018 Yellow Brain Strain!

    I unfortunately haven’t kept track of my plant’s weight, but I DID in fact weigh one particularly large pod... this feels like the perfect time to share haha Check this out: Almost 21g on a single pod! Love these guys. I chopped it up and put it on a small pizza that obliterated me, it was...

    Any pics of the tomatoes? The farm nearby has an amazing greenhouse set-up with strung tomatoes that are about 8-9 feet tall and loaded with big beautiful tomatoes. It’s unreal. I’m imagining you with a very similar setup! I didn’t know tomatoes could grow that tall like that.. They have the...

    Are there any natural predators you can use for some insect control? At the farm I work at they have these tags they put on the plants that contain the eggs of bugs that eat aphids thrips, whiteflies, etc. and they also release predacious bugs to wage war on the bad guys. They’re not a certified...

    Haha awesome. Does the pod look any different than a regular jalapeño? Also, you know those “fooled you“ jalapeños that they sell now with no heat? You should sell these and call them “REALLY fooled you” jalapeños! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I hope so! They purposely bred the jalapeño to be less potent back in the 80s I think. Idea was that US consumers wouldn’t be able to handle the true heat of a jalapeño, which is actually quite hot. Mexican jalapeños are closer to the original heat, but you’re right, that would be awesome to...

    Please show us a pic of that crazy plant with the pods on it (the super hot jalapeño)! So funny. I know it’s painful when it happens, but those stories really are funny after they happen and everything cools down. I have so many good ones and I’ve only been growing peppers for 4 years. Last...

    contest Growdown Throwdown 2018 Yellow Brain Strain!

    I was wondering if others were having a similar situation! Most of my current pods (about 3/4 of them) are really smooth and kinda misshapen, but there is one that looks okay - wrinkled at least. I assume once things get going everything will tighten up and become more uniform Sent from my...

      Thanks Scott! Grabbed some shots of the rhomboideums, and everything is done planting finally! Feels good to have it all out there (the peppers I mean  ;)).   I've been frying up some tiny shishitos as they come in and boy are they delicious... Had some today. Can't wait til the plant is...

    Wow.. how many months had your growdown plant been in the 65 gallon before it was rootbound? That’s encouraging about the p dreadie since I picked up a P. Dreadie from the Weaver’s farm a few weeks ago! Looking forward to growing it! Also, how’s the flavor on the Zapotecs? Anything unique about...
