I use to grow a lot of of aquatic plants with dry ferts in these "high tech" set ups. We had a system that was known as estimative index dosing. So now I have left over fertilizers that I want to re-purpose into hydroponic solution.
I have KH2PO4, KNO3, and the micro trace as Plantex CSN+B
(Just...
About 5 days, once the primary leaves are grown I wold start adding nutrients. In theory u can keep it going indefinitely but in practice, I'm not sure.
I normally let it sprout there and transfer it to potting soil within 5 days, the added nutrients should give u some more time in the choir
Yea like others have said mold could be dangerous, not just cuz of the mold or its spores but some molds release toxins as it metabolizes. Toxins that can't be inactivated by cooking.
In the past when I pickled a few things, we would give it a steam bath. After cutting up the vegetables we...
Sample please
But seriously I never thought of adding fruits to this, especially when there's garlic in it. Does it taste sweeter or does it give it floral notes?
Oh yeah definitely, I read the thread and I use to ferment other things, alcoholic things lol. ;) ;)
But yes I understand, I will be supplementing the fermentation with some micro fauna
I was worried about the peppers turning into mush before it ferments cuz I kinda blanched it too. But okay I can get the micro fauna to ferment it. Will let u guys know in a few days
Yeah they do, well sort of. If you find one ur bound to find many more. Usually the momma moth lays a big clutch where the offspring feed in the same general area. I think you can get rid of them by spraying ur plants with a weak solution of soap
I understand that you can store peppers away fermented but storage aside, why ferment them? Does it really affect the flavor that much? Sorry if its a stupid question but I assumed that while your cooking the peppers, it will bring out all the flavors anyway right?
Also I froze my peppers, can...
Hi there! I'm from NY and I been growing Brazilian wild chilies for years. Until one day I was introduced to the ghost pepper. What the hell! I didn't know they made peppers this hot! Thank god I only ate a small bite but ever since then I was hooked to super hots and hopefully I will be growing...
Its great to be here! Amazing the information and resources I can get here.
Oh yeah I tried number 8 and man it was spicy, real hot. Assuming 9 is a ghost, it was spicier than ghost. Maybe its a hybrid. Ah I understand, I would assume maybe the next few generations are mixed because of open...
Hey thanks for the input, yeah this farm was really well known for some high quality peppers. I wouldn't be surprised if he had bought some specific strains but yeah at this point it would be impossible to know. But either case my fingers is still burning just cutting them up, so much different...
Hey thanks for ur imput. But I'm not sure that 8 is a cow horn. This pepper is about 4 inches or so, I think cow horns are about double that size
Added a scale for size
So I went to my farmers market to buy a bunch of peppers to try out. Except I mixed them up in the bag and forgot what they are. Can you guys please help me out?
Among some of the names I do remember was carrot something, carolina or scoprin (I don't know if the carolina got mixed in...
