Neem supplements typically have the aza removed.

In many forums trolls and armchair bullies predominate and moderate. It tends to be better to write on paper and not share valid information because sharing any information that is not part of consensus is feeding trolls regardless of how accurate the info is or how inaccurate consensus is...

I've read thousands of threads from many types of forums where a person will literally post undeniable evidence of a process, method or approach working and then dozens of people who have not tried to replicate the results then proceed to tell the person that what clearly worked does not work...

I haven't cloned any Jalapeno but have cloned several forms of Capsicum using the same basic techniques. Water is a good choice, I have a few cutting sitting in water right now. I change the water daily to prevent rotting.   I also have several cuttings under constant light at a low level...

Right?!   I'd like that too.    Currently I am just looking through easily available cayenne material to see if there are any traits that will be of use in a breeding project and my space is quite limited however given a chance I would love to do a project where I can compare as many forms of as...

Thank you for a brilliant and considerate reply Edaxflamma.   I appreciate it and I agree with everything you mention, to the best of my knowledge that is.  I don't have the experience and information from the private sector and so remain ignorant about many things that are better known in that...

I cut the ripe peppers in half or quarters lengthwise and let them dry at least partially or even totally and then with gloves I brush the seeds from the fruit or pluck them out and then allow the seeds to dry further before storing and sowing them.    That works for the thin peppers... I don't...

 Budget willing I would like to test ideal specimens for genetics for a better understanding of their taxonomic position but I will rely upon observation, selection and test crossing first and the bioinformatic aspects later.    I wish I had a desktop PCR device and could just drop a seed into...

I've saved a bit of "Hatch" seed and I don't believe there is even a way to know what specific variety a person has even when the plant is grown... with a few exceptions in the case of the larger ones and even then it is just an educated guess.    Since I like the Anaheim types for specific...

The manzano rocoto is the only fresh pepper that I have had an issue with.  At the time (around 2002) I had a modest collection of hot Capsicum species and I was eating habaneros right off the plants but the manzano was something else...   I literally could not keep them down when I ate them...

I am inclined to agree.   I've not worked commercially in mycology but have over 20 years experience with it and I did begin with tried and true methods before I began learning a lot more and doing countless experiments.   The basis of good mycology is clean technique in my opinion and although...

All plant material contains NPK. Leaves are great. Boiled grass clippings even work. Just don't make a tea or soak too strong.

How many forum people does it take to change a light bulb? One to change the bulb and 10 to tell them it doesn't work. (When it does)

Interesting opinions. Rude and uninformed though, but then that isn't uncommon online is it? For those working with dirty spore prints from questionable specimens the hot pour technique and antibiotics work wonders but only if you use meticulous clean technique already. If you can't do clean...

I have 13 or so different selections of cane fruits growing however I planted them this season and it remains to be seen how they will fare. I've been manually cross pollinating them and planting the seeds, several have sprouted but most will show up next year. I also have numerous forms of...

I planted these Echinopsis hybrids 5/7/2020. They are slightly stunted because I didn't have them under nearly enough light at first. I had them under a 170W LED fixture and they just didn't grow well so I put them under a 300w CMH and they finally started growing well. The other pic is...

I recently observed that the hot pour agar technique works extremely well with layers of alternating pH. A questionable culture first has hot agar poured on it at 140℉ and then after it cools another layer is poured that has a high pH. Most contaminants will grow poorly up through the layers...

Intelligence has 3 signs: honesty, patience and politeness.

I've read a study where the highest % of viable seed came from ripe berries still on the plant. However the same study found that allowing the berries to ripen off of the plant did increase the % of seed that grew when compared to seed from berries that were not allowed to ripen further. Even...
