    PaulG’s Trippaul Threat Purple

    So you made the initial cross then? Did you and PaulG then collaborate on the ‘stability grow-outs, culling, etc? EXCELLENT WORK to the both of you! The plant expression is stellar! The plant I grew had almost jet black branching through the entire plant. I’m going to miss that beauty when the...

    PaulG’s Trippaul Threat Purple

    I really enjoyed growing this pepper variety this 2023 season. A BEAUTIFUL 5 foot tall 4 foot wide dark foliaged plant that yielded approximately 35-40 amazing pods. It weathered a massive rabbit buffet (1 1/2” stub) and still produced nicely before the scheduled first frost. It was grown the...

    wanted The Group Wanted Ad for Fresh Peppers

    I do lots of international seed trading in EU countries as long as the seed counts are low. I think on your end it’s 12 seeds per variety and I’m allowed up to 50 per variety. I have a ‘small lot’ seed permit from APHIS/USDA but, they just put the skids pepper and tomato seed import/export here...

    My name is Jerry, and I have an earwig problem.

    Put a wetting agent (i.e. dawn dishsoap,aloe vera gel, etc.) in your ‘liquid‘ traps to help the liquid to stick to them or they just drown from falling. Like a majority of insects/beetles they breathe through tube (tracheae) openings (located on their throax and abdomen called spiracles. The...

    pest something is biting the leaves off of my pepper plants

    When planting mint placing it in a 10“-12” deep container with its bottom cut out of the container will usually keep it from spreading. Pruning will keep the mint off of the soil so it doesn’t spread out of the container. I keep a lot of ‘rhizome-type’ plants from spreading this way. Keeping it...

    container Should I cut off the lower leaves of my container pepper plants?

    A plant will use the already processed nutrients in a leaf before shedding it (reduces it energy output). Unless, the leaf poses a threat to the plants health leave it be. We only assume what the plant needs, the plant knows what it needs. Outside of light, water and nutrients the plant pretty...

    pest something is biting the leaves off of my pepper plants

    Growing mint around your grow is better than that crap (Bobbex). Powdered pepper will keep a lot of critters out of your grow. Reapplying can be a pain due to rains or improper watering technique. Both of these forms of controls can be grown very inexpensively and both can eat them, too.

    pest something is biting the leaves off of my pepper plants

    Raccoons, possums, woodchucks and rabbits terrorize pepper plants at night all the time. You’ll probably have to apply some kind of ‘control’ to maintain your grow until you harvest. It’s a reality when you‘re growing food thats accessible to any form of predation. I think how you manage a grow...

    favorite If you could only grow "one" superhot ?

    You won’t be disappointed. Feed it every two weeks until it flowers and again (reduce the nitrogen) when pods start forming. You can continue feeding the plant but, I don’t find it necessary given the yield ratio from the added labor/cost over not feeding in the way late stages. Keep it on the...

    favorite If you could only grow "one" superhot ?

    For me, it’s the Trinidad Red Moruga Scorpion. The flavor profile compliments many dishes without any bitterness and has a good balance on the floral and citrusy notes. It makes an excellent power, too. They’re really tasty when smoked lightly, as well. I think they taste way better than the...

    seeds No more small lots of seed permits?

    BigAg has found yet another wretched ‘loophole’ for seed control. Politicians don’t think this type of stuff up on their own. SADLY, more viral and pest issues surround the IMPORTATION of fruits and vegetables (which they care not to speak of ) than any small lot seed transaction. More...
