thanks for the tips everyone!!

hes right, it is a personal choice. this pass harvest was my first season and i used fish fertilizer. you can try that. you can try tomato fertilizer. worm castings. and maybe even your own poop :hell:

i currently only have carribean red habaneros cause im a newbie as well. Im growing bhut jolokias right now so i can offer some of those in a few months. if you want some carribean red habs, just send me a SASE envelope and ill send it back. PM me for address.

sounds cool! wish i had some good seeds to offer, but im a newbie.i only have the ever so famous bhut jolokia and hopefully the butch T in a couple days. Ill join you guys when I have more exotic seeds to offer.

no not really. ill probably just fill them up 75% like you said.

Well I dont want to cut the top. i figure, the bigger the pot, the bigger the plant will grow (provided proper nutrition). so i need something that i guess the roots can grow through (do they actually go all the way to the bottom?)

Sorry for being such a newbie but what is the US Seed Trading Parcel?

ANY HELP?

are you watering your plants while the sun is out? If the leaves have water droplets on them and the sun is out, the light can actually create a type of magnifying glass effect and burn the leaves. kinda like how you see kids on tv burning ants with magnifying glass or making fires.

should i put the plate near a window or should room temperature be sufficient?

Im picking off peppers of my plants and I was wondering if i planned on keeping the seeds or selling them, what would I have to do? Do I just picked them off the pepper and store them or should they be left to dry a little bit?

i know i have to dry them. but some are ripe on the plant and some are still green. i want to dry them all at the SAME time so i want to keep the ones im picking off the plant FRESH until the others ripen. i need to know how to keep them fresh until the others are ready. any help? i just had a...
