i move my plants to raised beds outside for the summer/fall, so i can't comment on mature pot size requirements. but i will say that the pubes in particular have a sprawling growth habit like a tomato plant, and as such i have seen it suggested to grow in a hanging pot and let the branches grow...

sorry i wasn't quite clear with that. on the request page it asks for your "corporate email" and "company name" as they will not accept requests from personal domains like gmail. just wondering if anyone could lend me an email address to use to make the request. if not, i can try to get someone...

does anyone have a "corporate email" i can borrow to get my free sample? or is there any email domain that is free that they DO accept (says no gmail, msn, aol, etc.)??

graduates: potted-up some of the sprouts that were getting too big for the tiny cell trays. 14 moved on up to 4" pots. also had some new germs since last post, so there are still 11 smaller seedlings chillin in the cells, along with 10 no-shows and one standing dead (complete decapitation by...

last year was my first with pubes, and i grew EPFH and Rio Hualaga. rio grew and produced better for me, i did not get any ripe EPFH. rio had excellent flavour. added rocoto giant yellow for this year as well and have had 6/8 germ fairly quickly. START NOW! as they do take ages to fruit and ripen.

copycat! :P

turn it into a TIE fighter

update on the missing seeds: finally got an envelope in the mail this week containing the s.b. trinidad red, and malawi bird. so they got it wrong again, unless malaga bird is just a typo or that they really are synonymous with one another. this time though, the malawi bird says "C.baccatum"...

alright, so here's the update. after just one week i had my first emergences on the night of the 6th, radical. more have come to the party during this second week as well. let's see who they are: name [species] (dates up) total/sown hijo puta madre [Frut?] (6*,6**,6,7,9) 5/6 lotah bih [Frut]...

PVC pipe is what i was imagining. you could build a cube 2' x 2' x 3' with 28' of tubing plus 8 elbow joints, and use a piece of wood or plastic to go on top.

and they tell people to send back/destroy it, but if you are not wheat-allergic surely you can safely still eat it?

just an idea, you have 6' height in the tent, if you buy/build some kind of shelf and get a second light you can double what you put in there... at least until they get so tall that they're too close to the lights...

thanks CD. i thought so re: lights, but never hurts to ask. purira was on my grow list for last year, and i got nothing. (see last year's glog, i failed at frutescens). no germination on the first run of 6 seeds. then on the second try i had some come up (2 i think?) but they and the rest of...

lol nice! i hadn't read this yet, but i literally just now also posted in my glog about not getting a thermostat, and asking a question about lights. we are on the same wavelength, brother

the following seeds are down as of the evening of dec 30th! used my usual boring unadventurous method of soak h2o2/water 24h, plant 1/4-1/2" deep in the classic green plastic 12-cell trays with vented domes filled with standard miracle gro potting soil. didn't pull the trigger on any...

okay maybe i was wrong on the size. i thought i remembered it as being bigger than a standard bottle, but maybe not. good luck in your quest.

GRACE brand is a good one. i liked it before i even got into growing peppers, and i've seen others suggesting it on here. and it is cheap. pre-pandemic the ~300ml bottle (don't remember exact size) was only around $2 canadian. not sure what it might cost now, but all the grace products tended...

christmas tree is back in the basement. not long now... off to go contemplate various presoak and sowing methods.

thanks guys for your support. small update: ordered seeds 10 nov, received 24 nov emailed about missing and wrong seeds 25 nov emailed again 20 dec saying i hadn't seen anything show up. recevied reply 21 dec apologizing and saying due to holdiays it may take longer for items to arrive...

confession: your very own @growyourown calls himself a pepper lover and has never grown scotch bonnets! BLASPHEMOUS, i know; i intend to rectify this in 2024. i have several varieties to try, and am excited to do so. i just gotta write this now partially because i have the seeds and i'm excited...
