Got scolded by an old-time canna grower that my soil mix for peppers was all wrong. I'm apparently not organic enough. So I use some time release 8-8-8 in my mix, worked great for years. He said I could get better yields by going 100% organic and gave me a shopping list. FFOF to use as soil base...

  We could go back and forth on this subject all day long and still not agree 100%. It's simply a difference of opinion with no animosity either way. Your last sentence I believe is completely true, especially when talking about all that crap targeted to cannabis growers. (Beastie Bloomz @...

I've been growing red/chocolate/orange habs for a couple years now. They are pretty sturdy plants compared to other chinense and quite forgiving if you forget to water or fertilize them. A simple balanced fertilizer if you can get it works fine. An N-P-K ratio of 8-8-8 will keep them happy. A...

It's a 7-Trin Scorporuga. :drunk: :crazy: :whistle:

Everyone put in awesome entries but SnF's black rice crepe just blew me away.

Nice!! I like that you mentioned your ears ringing, I get that too right after the hiccups start.

  Yup, we got rats who jumped ships back in the 1800's and some brainiac decided to import mongoose not long after to control the rats. Of course rats are nocturnal animals and mongoose sleep all night so we got double screwed on that one. The mongoose then proceeded to wipe out quite a few...

  Helluva reality check :shocked:  

  Don't mean to hijack this thread but that made me think of back when it was a common thing to open a small hole in the hotdog or sausage wrapper and fill it full of beer. Then just toss it on the grill like that (usually wood or charcoal fire). The plastic wouldn't burn unless all the beer...

And then there's this.....  

Aside from nutrient issue, what kind of light are they getting? Bhuts love sunlight.

  +1 Exactly this when I try to make sauce. Cook it down for awhile, run through food mill, cook again before bottling. Most seeds and skin bits are gone.   Not sure if you could say it is sauce but my uncooked batches, either pre- or post- ferments are not milled or filtered in any way so has...

  That pit right there....yeah....that's the one :clap:

Anytime I start seeds I have to get a fresh bag of FFOF because of the mites, gnats, and other critters that love moving into a partial bag of the stuff. It's worth it though because my naga brains and fataali's are shooting out of the soil. Choc hab and savina seeds are a little older but...

This is a good topic. I voted charcoal but it's much more complicated than that. My overall preference is seasoned mesquite or other local hardwoods but it's getting harder to come by in large amounts, charcoal is next best thing.   I usually get a new propane rig every 3-4 years. The burners...

Many people do, the theory is to let growth go to the plant instead of the flower/fruit to get a stronger more productive plant.   I don't. No theory. :rolleyes: I can afford to be less attentive because of where I'm at, except for a couple dormant periods each year I have growth year round.  ...

Farm & Garden stores have what is called "Water Soluble Sulphur" Best thing I ever found for mites. It worked so good I mixed a batch on my hose end mixer, set it at 4oz per gallon and drowned my entire back yard. Mites stayed away for over a year. I think it's time for me to do it again.

  +1 on this. I've always had to deal with aphids on one level or another but they were never the cause of the stems dying back like that. I suspect rootbound and/or bad soiI from poor drainage/nematodes/bugs in general in the soil. Instead of trying to find the exact cause you can eliminate...

Repotted my favorite chocolate hab and fataali peppers and started seeds for red savinas, white 7pots, and peach habs.
