I use neem oil and a little castile soap with great results on aphids. Here's a cheap source: http://www.amazon.com/Dyna-Gro-Neem-Oil-8-Ounce/dp/B0012BGXVQ/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1340499132&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=neem+dyn Works great on most other pests. It isn't "instant' knockdown, but it...

This is a really great list - thank you for posting it. The one thing I would add is lack of Potassium (K). I've noticed a distinct correlation between K deficiency and proper fruit set, not just in peppers. Most interesting is that the peppers seem to have just "set" from the pictures. I feed...

Are they still crunchy after 10 minutes in a hot water bath? Looks delicious!

If you can get your hands on it and and recycle, pentane does a better job than butane IMO. You should literally get white/opaque casaicin crystals.

Getting caught in the gonads by Eeyore at the end was really the icing on the cake of this video.

Noticed my first Naga Jolokia forming today - it's already about 3" long so I don't know how I missed it. Can't believe how early it is this year. Hope this one is hot and tasty!

Whatever it is, a couple applications of neem couldn't hurt. Hit my garden with it the second time this season and insect damage was hugely curtailed. Stuff smells nasty though! (perfectly safe though)

I calibrate everything with the Baseline single controller. I use drip tape so I can cover a lot of area with only one circuit. Here's what I use: http://www.baselinesystems.com/products.php/watertec-s100 Think it cost me around $150.

Welcome to THP! Lots of us from the Pennsyltucky midstate here - I spend my time between Mercersburg and Carlisle. I've got some frozen superhots and will have some fresh Butch-T's pretty soon if you'd like to try some.

Hello fellow THP'ers! Looks like it is going to be a banner year for serranos for me. Last year I tested a serrano plant in the outdoor hydro system I really scaled up this year. It yielded a total of 42 lbs (not a misprint) over the course of the season. This year I put out almost 50 serranos...

Totally agree - his cherry-smoked Scorp powder is really fantastic - I've had some for about a week and have used it on four dishes already. Intense heat without ruining the meal and incredible flavor. Haven't cracked open my 7th circle bottle yet as I'm nursing the Jimmy Scorpion sauce and...

Ate my first serrano today. Tastier and hotter than last year's. Hooray!

What I have found is that by manipulating the root zone, one can create hotter and tastier peppers. However that does not mean starving it for water outright, as seems to be the case in your picture. The magic number seems to be 40% field moisture in the root zone. By keeping things between 25%...

Visine contest? :fireball:

Notices a huge toad hanging out in my garde nthis early evening. He looked FULL. that makes me happy. Between him and the large numbers of assassin bugs, there has been little to no insect damage this week.

OK, over a week has passed and things are looking a trillion times better now. All new growth looks picture-perfect and no more spots. Hooray! Looks like there are going to be a LOT of peppers this year! Took 3 treatments.
