WOW! Shoulda brought that sucker in and used it as a Christmas tree at the end of the year!

I think that ends up being about 0.2% H2O2 - does it "whiten" the plant at all at that concentration? Never seen anyone do that before but I know higher strength H2O2 is great for general hydroponics and especially cleaning out lines @ 3%+ Thanks for the tip! I'm going to try it tomorrow at...

About 20 days after it hit undifferentiated cell growth and was a little ball of callous mass.

Actually made my own sterile airflow hood out of a big tupperware on its side, a salvaged HEPA filter and a blower fan off a car. It works surprisingly well for what it is. Using MS + Agar solidifier, BAP & PPM along with a very light nutrient additive. Also propagating in the Unicorn jars...

This year I have a couple pepper plants in my in my garden that are showing a couple signs of baterial spot. Noticed it in my neighbor's gardens and others in the area as well (Central Pennsyltucky). Today I took a walk up a nearby mountain with my dogs over lunch. Noticed that many of the...

Yup, you can do it by regular cloning, but there are a couple drawbacks. Speed is one of them - I can get a lot more clones in a slightly longer period of time. Also, I can build up a clone stock and just let them sit for months in the jars with almost no light and cool temperatures which is...

This might be your only option:

Wow that's a tough one! That like a brigade of little armoured tanks roaming around looking for blood out of your garden. I doubt spraying anything like neem or hot pepper wax would do anything to them. Only thing that comes to mind is traps - they look like two halves of a cone that go...

I'm calling it "sort of hydro" - the soilless media is in the little breathable tube and I water with nutrients I make here at home that seem to work really well. Usually water once every other day and that is it. The plant itself is actually from tissue culture/clone, so it started life as a...

From what I've seen with peppers, most of the pollen from a given flower ends up pollinating that flower. But, sometimes you can have, say, a ghost pepper, you harvest the seeds and end up with some weird hybrid because a bee/bug was feeding away on another plant, then chose the ghost pepper to...

Yup - that's exactly what happens to me indoors to every single flower unless I hand pollinate - they all fall off. Willard3 put some likely causes as well which are all true, but the giveaway point to me was that none of the other peppers in your garden are doing this. So hand pollination is...

I've found that some varieties are easire to pollenate than others - the flower shapes differ and peppers/plants from around the world have different shapes to accomodate the different types of pollenating bugs and birds. I'd try hand pollenating the plant in a "control' section, say the entire...

Hi Jester, this plant was started as an experimental tissue clone - I take one leaf from my best plant that does best in Zone 6a and cut it into 1mm x 1mm squares. Then it goes into a special agar jar called a "Unicorn" which is sterilized and treated with NAA and a couple plant-derived...

1/15th of a cubic foot of growing medium (~115 cubic inches for roots):

Wow, this is remarkably similar to the nutes I've been producing for about a year. Even the citrate buffer.

Welcome from central Pennsyltucky! :dance:

Wow, no margin for error there! So do you start your seedlings indoors in Feb, then get them out a foot high and push 'em right into making peppers? I ask because I might be living in northern new england next year. Thanks!

Don't worry, you have no problem. Humidity has probably been >65% in that area of the bag and the roots went at it. I use a similar method but with much smaller "pots" (it's a tube actually, only 4.5" in diameter). Things seem to be going along just dandy:

This plant orginated from the hottest Red Savina I ever grew. Thought I would let him make a couple peppers and went to work with a wet Q-tip 6 days ago. I use this plant and few others of different varieties (Scorp, Bih Jolokia, Bhut Jolokia, etc.) to keep consistentcy in my summer garden every...

When do you guys put your plants outside up there?
