All of my plants are planted in 5 gallon geopots and root pouches.  They are the same as Smart Pots, just a little cheaper and available from a local grow shop.  The plants are roughly 3.5 - 4 feet tall and spread almost 3 ft at the canopy.  The yellow brainstrain peppers are roughly a little...

Just for comparison sake, here is a picture of two of the pods developing on the chocolate brainstrain.  These are about 1 week behind the yellow B.S. in the picture I posted above.  They aren't the exact same shape, but they're close enough to give me some confidence that they may grow out...

    I think it's slowly turning, but looking at them twice a day doesn't seem to speed the process up.  I've tried talking to them and playing music for them...but they just don't want to speed up.  I think all peppers are women because they move at their own pace and move slower if they know...

This is my first year growing them so I don't know how bad the chocolate versions will be.  I'm assuming they'll turn out to be the hottest but who knows.  I'm trying to locate some orange brainstrain seeds so if anyone knows where I could purchase some I would be very thankful.  I know Buckeye...

Here's a quick little update on my yellow brainstrain plant...I just love taking pictures.  This plant is easily one of the largest I have and has started producing large amounts of peppers over the last 2 to 3 weeks.  The peppers haven't started turning colors yet but I'm anticipating that to...

I started 5 BBG7 plants this year.  Three of them suddenly started dropping leaves and became sick with something I could not fix so after a few weeks they went into the compost pile.  All of my plants were indoors and none had pest problems.  The other 2 went outside after a long hardening off...

This is my first year growing the purple jalapeño and my plants have quite a few peppers that are starting to ripen and develop nicely. Does the purple jalapeño turn red when ripe? I've read some posts that say it starts green, goes purple, and then turns red...but my peppers have been purple...

Soil drench it is then. I'm going with the weakest dose of 2 TSP per gallon because my infestation isn't really bad yet. Thanks!

Hey guys!  I came home today to find a few of my outdoor plants have become the home of whiteflies.  The plants don't show any signs of damage but I want to nip this thing quickly before it gets out of hand.  I'm planning on using Azamax as a foliar spray at 1 tablespoon per 32 oz bottle.  The...

  Wow, sorry I missed out.  I have Ice Scream Scorpion seeds and a few other strains that might have worked.  Good Luck!

  I'm sure I don't have anything you would like, but what type of crosses are you looking for?  I have a few superhot to hot crosses that I could trade away.   Thanks

Thanks!  I wasn't planning on starting anymore seeds but your sale made me go out and buy Pimenta Elisir x Neyde, Billy Biker, and a few other seed packs.     Awesome sale, thanks for the generosity!

I have a red brainstrain that has two nodes. They formed very early on and neither appear to be dominant. Both nodes are healthy and are growing rapidly. I'll see if I can get a picture of it tonight. BTW: I almost culled the plant as a seedling because I viewed it as an abnormality and thus...

Is that a foil based pan you have the seedlings in?  I've seen foil create hot spots on plants and soil that easily burns leaves and stems.  If the only seedlings doing that are close to the edge and it is a foil pan, I would move them in or change the tray.  

I understand the disagreement, but from my experience I have to agree with mgold on this one. I have two 600W HID lights and both are running Hortilux MH bulbs. I have two Hortilux HPS bulbs but the plants didn't respond as well to them so I they're back on the shelf until the need arises. I...

Wildfire Chilli in Australia has them.  I just ordered some a few weeks ago and they arrived in a very timely manner.  I have 5 seeds sitting in cubes now attempting to germinate them for this season.   http://www.wildfirechilli.com.au/chocolate-brain-strain-seeds.html

Do you break up the bottom of the cube before planting them?  I used them a few weeks ago and had great germination rates but a few struggled to grow because the root system couldn't break through the bottom.  They became stalled and just didn't do anything.  The owner at my local hydro shop...

I use this method and have had great results with my plants. My seedlings go under a T5 setup running 18/6 until they have 2 sets of leaves. Once they reach 2 sets of leaves I move them underneath a 400W MH light that's running on a 12/1 schedule. I ran a modified version for about a month...

Sorry for the mistake. I was looking back at older pictures and got confused. Thanks for clearing that up. Once again, sorry for the confusion.

Judging by the picture, it looks like he's selling a YieldMaster reflector with a Sun Systems MH 400W ballast.  The ballast he's put in the picture is not a switchable / digital ballast and will only run MH bulbs.  All of those ballasts appear to be older MH ballasts so you'll definitely want to...
