Hey chileheads! I was a member here years ago but life got in the way for a while and I cant seem to remember my old credentials so I guess I'm back in a new form. Small grow list this season because limited space: Yellow fatalii Trinidad Scorpion Morouga Jamaican hot chocolate Aleppo Super...

  I've run white vinegar through a coffee maker a couple times, it is a great way to clean out the coffee maker of hard water and coffee build-up. Never thought to taste the vinegar after, although you'll get a vinegary cup of coffee if you don't run pure water through it a few times before...

Those aren't picture perfect Bhut specimens but definitely look similar to some Bhuts I've tried. Could definitely be a cross with a milder pepper. Also heat levels can vary based on conditions and sometimes the first few peppers off a plant and winter pods are milder. Still a Bhut shouldn't...

Apparently the new (2013) Big Jim Heritage variety from cpi is around 9000 Scoville. Basically the quintessential chile relleno pods.

A fun twist for poppers like TXCG posted is to coat the bacon in your favorite BBQ sauce. I especially like to do this for habanero poppers. Also I like to add green onion to the cheese mix. Gonna have to try the ranch mix, never considered this before. One whole package for just 1 block of...

Welcome to the valley! I grow in Tempe. The advice has been spot on so far. Shade cloth throughout the summer is basically mandatory unless you are growing in partial shade. The soil in most of Phoenix really sucks so if you are planting in the ground bring in loads of organic material for...

Another likely contender is Shishito. I have had them served at Korean Sushi restaurants much like you described. They are apparently Japanese but I think Koreans and Japanese share a lot of foods.  

This was a cool little experiment, I'm sad to see the thread sort of died out. Any word on the results in the fruit?   I'd love to see somebody try a larger scale version of this and get testing done.

I watched them all already. I love it. I'll have to rewatch to pick up everything I missed, as usual.   It starts slow because there is so much going on that you do not understand until later. They wrote the season trying to allow the viewer to watch the show in any order they choose and pick up...

Thanks for all the help guys. They look a lot like some of the pictures of mealybugs I can find, but I certainly cannot see any insect body etc, just the white fuzz. And they definitely didn't appear to move around at all. I went ahead and wiped all the ones I could find off with a paper towel...

I don't even know what to search for to find out what this is. I'm growing in Phoenix AZ, so day temps are in 90's right now, lows in the 60s -70's. Low humidity, lots of sun. Growing in organic potting soil, watering about every 5 days , feeding Botanicare. Can anybody help me out? What...

haha yes. Tracks from one of the rovers. http://www-robotics.jpl.nasa.gov/projects/MER.cfm

Looks like we do it too...

Fantastic Album! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ol5ILoavuWw

I'll just leave this here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clsQadC0PoI

Looks sweet! Cut those chile's in half before you toss 'em in the oven and they will dry out a lot faster. Also don't keep them in a closed plastic container like that before they finish drying - that's asking for mold/rot. Leave them out in a warm dry place - like a windowsill, and maybe even...

:welcome: Looks good and :hot: But you must learn the rules here. PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN!!!

I stumbled accross this interesting paper abstract: http://124.205.222.100/Jwk_spkx/EN/abstract/abstract24332.shtml tldr: They tested the effect on chili flavor after fermentation of 4 different strains of lactobacillus, and found a significant difference between them. I have only made a...

You only need to isolate IF and when you decide to harvest seed for the next season, in order to keep your seed strains pure. There is no need to isolate your plants normally when just growing for peppers to eat/sauce/dry. All the genetics in a plant and its pepper pods come from the single...
