    overwintering the winter grow!

    Hehehe.   Hope you got a load more space and lights.   I have an 8 tube by 4 foot T5, and it barely lights up 4 plants in 5 gallon "root spa's".   I do have a load crammed into 1 gallon regular flower pots----3 plants to a pot----for a semi-bonchi project, but too soon to se if it will actually...

    Did about the same. Pulled out a jar of pickled reapers, brains and a few assorted, added some cumin, cilantro, and honey. A cople drops on a tortilla with a liberal spreading of sour cream, and it's almost edible. Liquid "Stoopid" is about the best description.

    smoke infused hot sauce?

    Smoke the pods. Little Chief is cheap, and you can load it up with many pounds of pods.   Remove the trays and use wooden skewers instead.   Smoke a couple hours (about a panfull of chips) rotate the bottom layer to the top and visa-versa, another pan of chips, finish in dehydrator.

    Anyone here use capsaicin-based insecticide?

    I don't think I would be using persistant "nuclear powder" on something to be eaten or worse, smoked.   Unless of course, you like spicy medicine. :hell:

    seeds To seed or not to seed?

    Good thing you didn't waste all your growing efforts on E-bay seeds.   Likely would have tured out to be Bell peppers or some such.   Prohibitive shipping?   I've shipped seeds from the USA across both oceans for a couple of dollars.   Of course, in some countries, they arrive very late (month...

    chinense Friend gave me Chocolate Habanero's

    Of all the dark pods, Choco Hab's are one of my favorites.   Hopefully, they weren't cross pollinated, and the seeds grow true.   Or, maybe get a few interesting hab crosses. Plant a load and see!

    Gotrox 2014 grow.

    4 1/2 feet tall, after cutting them down by 1/2 and 3 early toppings. Sea-Of-Green.   Small pot pix after I bring them inside.

    Call it blasphemy but I am scaling down next season

    Hmm. Scaling down? Me too. Well, maybe you could call it that.   I would call it "growing smart".   I have spent a considerable amout of cash to grow peppers in an inhospitable climate, so doing it a bit different next year.   The sprouting will start in Feb., as usual----66 spots, but only the...

    Help Please, All Flowers Dropping Off!!

    If you have a pistil and pollen, they will pod up. If you are missing either, they won't.   Right now I have flowers popping, so I am flushing my hydro (water only, no nutes) for a week or so.   If it works, I'll let you know.

    shopping Items needed to grow peppers indoors this winter

    Easy to SOG (SCROG, if training) if you don't try supercropping. Top early and often, Chicken wire looks to work well for SCROGGING, better with the bushier varieties, (Aji Pineapple is a monster). Top 3 times before forking and you should get 8 to 16 tops.   I would go 24-36 instead of...

    shopping Items needed to grow peppers indoors this winter

    8 tube 4' T5 and 4 root spa's. It's what I have, and my 4 plants over run the light footprint.   No tent. It's nice to have plants "eating": your CO2 and giving oxygen.   The setup you suggest is for "cash crops" :P   You won't get 6 or 9 plants in 7 gal containers without a couple 600 or 1KW...

    What pepper are you trying today? P.O.D.

    Picked an Aji Pineapple.   Crunchy, sweet, and that particular flavor and heat.   All by it's lonesome.

    Can topping early be a bad thing

    Topped mine way early. (while still in 4" pots) Topped them again violently after they got around 5' in 5 gallon buckets. Topped my "semi-bonchi's" several times while quite small, as they will be living in very small pots on the window sill this winter.   I would prefer natural, but space...

    A million opinions.   As it is your first, keep it simple. Expect disaster. Bugs, nute burn/deficiencies, leggy plants/burned tops, and the ever madning tons of flowers---all dropping.   Some varieties---Inca Berry, Thai Dragon, Boliviain Rainbow---produce for me even when ignored on a window...

    Trimming Back Peppers?

    Shocking the plants late in the season won't help.   You have a chance if you have a few feet by a sunny window.   When the first cold frost is imminent, you can trim them way back leaving only the podded branches, trim the roots way back till they can fit in a 2.5 gallon bucket or similar...
