    Does pod shape dictate offspring shape?

    Excellent this is the information I had been looking for. Thanks to all who replied, I was doing some reading this week and came across a post where someone had only saved seeds from their best looking pods and then I was curious as I had never considered that. Thanks for clearing that up!

    Does pod shape dictate offspring shape?

    I know that some plants can cross pollinate and the seeds inside a normal reaper will provide a different pepper if crossed. I also understand picking the most ripe free from defects (mold bugs ECT) will produce better seeds... But does picking the best 'looking' pod dictate if the plant grown...

    Blossom Drop - Nutrient Issue?

    Well the rain and the heat have passed. Let's hope these fallen pods are the last of what we will see for a while.

    Blossom Drop - Nutrient Issue?

      Yes I had just watered before taking the photo. I found that these fast growing non-superhots (thunder mt.) really enjoy the additinal water as I come out mid day and the medium is dry and loamy on top. In additon they are in fabric pots and the wind licks away the moisture. The reapers...

    Blossom Drop - Nutrient Issue?

      1) 2017 - We grew only in the aerogarden at first, having come here for advice when we transplanted mediums to soil and the advice was spot on. The plant produced a few pods before the winter came. 2018-2019 - We took to growing in soil and plastic pots and only grew ghosts using zero...

    Hello I am having an issue with my plants (Reaper, ThunderMt, and Paprika) all the plants have roughly 40+ open flowers and 10+ without the petals (believed to be pollinated) the flowers hold well but once pollination occurs the stems turn yellow and drop off. I am wondering if it's purely heat...

    Thank you all for your helpful replies. I managed to get the plant into a mid size pot with some major root reduction and back under the aerogarden light until my new light arrives. I moved the plant on Sunday gave it a large portion of water since the soil was new and it looked fine until I got...

    If I were to move all 3 plants out of the aerogarden what are your thoughts on one or two of these:   https://www.amazon.ca/Garden-Greenhouse-Hydroponic-Indoor-Cultivation/dp/B016CZJW2S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1488974428&sr=8-1&keywords=Grow+light    Im not a super fan of how pink it is as I can...

      I was thinking eventually they will get too tall for the Aerogarden, that and I would like to put other herbs in it again for use in cooking. The issue is that I only have a small window I can place the potted plant into It would be enough to fit a 1 gallon container with room for the plant to...

    First time grower looking for input.

    Full disclosure until December of last year I have only ever grown two cacti that refuse to let go no matter how long I forget them. I decided that after purchasing a dehydrator and smoker not in that order that I was tired of paying top dollar for mid level peppers at the food store. In...
