canadian seed vendor "atlantic pepper seeds" (pepperseeds.ca) is giving away a free pack of aji fantasy white with every order (in addition to another mystery item). at least this was the case when i ordered in late december. just make sure you find the listing for "aji fantasy white free pack"...

Welcome, my esteemed peers, to my 2nd annual glog. This will be my best attempt by far. No way it could be worse than my pitiful entry from last year, not even going to include a link to that stinky p.o.s. #1 – WIN BEFORE YOU BEGIN: i did what i said i was gonna do, which is get my own setup to...

WHAT A SHITTY GLOG I DID! As with many things, first one’s usually a throw-away. With what you’re about to read, though, you’ll see that i learned some things and intend to apply them for 2022, so stay tuned for the upcoming glog, friends! Thanks for stopping in, and away we go – Apologies i...

i would also hazard to guess that corner is the hardest spot on the bottle to get clean/sterile...

IIRC, when i was shopping @ APS (pepperseeds.ca), they had "jamaican hot chocolate", "chocolate habanero", and "habanero jamaican hot chocolate" all listed separately and with varying SHU levels in the descriptions. i purchased seeds for and grew the latter of the three this year, as i wanted to...

my inlaws brought me back a bottle of gator hammock when they went to florida in 2019. it was indeed pretty good.

last year we were going to have one night with possible freezing temp then back up to no risk for a few more weeks. i threw a tarp over my raised beds and put a small space heater inside with them. i also watered them with warm water once it got dark to give the soil temp a boost. no idea...

box 4:   i guess that's the max for today. i will post box 5 (all the "exotics" from pepperseeds.ca) and the 3 pots (6x jalapeno only) tomorrow.   those exotics are the ones i have questions about, mostly do you think that, with only 4-4.5 months left before it's too cold, that any of those...

hey all! never done one of these before. this is my third or fourth year growing, but i'm still an amateur. i grow in smallish raised planters (5-7.5 sq.ft. surface area) last year i had 3, this year added 2 more. i don't add anything to the plants apart from store-bought manure and some...

hey guys, i have a bottle of calcium/magnesium/D3 in my medicine cabinet which is expired.   can i grind these tablets up and add to my soil, will it do anything?   the ingredients obviously should be beneficial (even if depleted due to age),   but is the gelatin/binding agent that makes the...

  thank you for that reply. just to be sure, you mean 100-105 measured in F not C right?   what texture or properties do you use to determine that they are "fully dry"? when it breaks off rather than bends when you flex/bite it?   what temperature can render the seeds not viable? i definitely...

hey i hate doing this, because there is so much great info here. but i have some questions on how long to dehydrate my peppers, with an aim to making them into powder via electric coffee grinder.   my dehydrator (salton vitapro ~$50) says to do vegetables (sliced 1/4" thick unless otherwise...

i have no background in pepper etymology, but i love wordplay, so:   if it's ghostly and with caribbean origin, the obvious name that i'm surprised didn't come up is some variation on VOODOO.   ghastly voodoo voodoo ghostanero vooboo ghoodoo bhutdoo   other non-voodoo suggestions: haunted...

thanks again.   yeah i am just going to let it play out, and no doubt i'll find a way to use them regardless.   :cheers:

another super quick answer, thanks solid7.   mostly i was only asking to make sure these peppers aren't going to taste like crap and whether i should keep the seeds out of the mix when i harvest and dehydrate the bounty.   i very much doubt i would be hardcore enough to get into the science of...

thank you for the fast and fantastic answer. and yes, you did understand my situation/question completely perfectly.   it never even occurred to me to consider a genetic expression being the cause. but i understand exactly what you are talking about because i've gone down the wikipedia rabbit...

thanks man!   this is such a great forum, you guys rock!   :cheers:    

hey everyone! i'm still a newbie member here, but i love all the stories and advice given on this site; it really is a helpful and encouraging community here with one common goal, to bring the heat! so, a quick search for "yellow" in growing forum did not give me anything meaningful; thought...

hey all. sorry i forgot to write back. thankfully, all went well with my hot sauce when i made it back at the start of this year. i got about 1.5 litres in total, and it tastes quite good (to me anyway). it is definitely not overpowering in vinegar flavour since i added a few spoons of honey...
