Sometimes you get seeds that are known to be infected with a fungus or virus. i got a notice of this from the USDA ARS-Grin seed bank with a few seeds and they were recommending soaking with TSP. Soaking with H2O2 will work as well if soaked overnight. So no I just soak them all as a matter...

I was told to make a 50/50 sugar solution by hydro-gardens when I bought lady bugs last spring.

I use a hydrogen peroxide and 1% potassium nitrate solution for seed soaking and soak them over night. Ttake them straight out of the solution and put them in starting mix and then use the remaining solution to water them with. The peroxide sterilizes the seed coat of any fungus or bacterial...

Well I have been saving them up to make a little ferment. I have about a pint jar worth now, and several hundred more on the plants.

Zombies beware! Those sure look like brain bursters.

The Dundecutt is another of the peppers I have abused this year and it has put out lots of squat acorn shaped pods. It is going to be a keeper also.

why wait till january, we have about 3 weeks of really cold weather... I am getting my seeds ready now and am getting my trays ready for cloning the ones I really want to have an overflow of plus sell in the driveway. You can't have too many Datil, Jolokia, 7pod, Scotchies, and fun tasty exotics.

If you have the Pepper and herb formula, 11-11-40, you can substitute it for the lettuce formula 8-15-36. I am using the Tomato formula, 4-18-38, in my lettuce buckets, I do need to add something to increase the nitrate tho..

Yes you can sharpen ceramic knives. But it takes a gentle touch. I know you can sharpen them using Boron Carbide paste, it is a fine paste (5 microns) and takes some time, I am told by one of my sharpening friends that you can use fine diamond stones. If you happen to know someone who does...

I did the basic 45degree cut then peeled the outer layer of stem for about 3/8 of an inch around the cut. Dipped them to the bottom of the little .5oz sample and stuck the cuttings in perfect starts that I had split down the side so I wouldn't damage the cutting anymore than necessary.

Zimbabwe bird peppers are short fast growing and prolific. You can grow them very well in a 3 gal pot.

I just started using it in my micro-hydro. So I can't say yet. I did try their cloning gel and like it alot, I like it better than cloneX or shultz powder. So far the cuttings all have nice white roots shooting out of the perfect starts after 10 days. Which of course only indicates I may be...

I should have a few seeds left. One gourde gives hundreds of seeds. Let me know if Omri can't help you.

Are you ready for Octoberfest? Ja?

yes, mine from the seed you gifted me is keepin on- keepin on as well. I think it will get a bigger pot for next year, as well as more love and care. although I do see a haircut in its near future...

They just use 1mL???

black spots and ulcerations on pods and black seeds can also be an indication of needing more calcium. Simple fix is to add smoe dolomite lime to your pots and water it in.

No, no hops, just 6% salt by weight, and these critters: L. Acidophilus LA-14 L. Casei R0215 L. Rhamnosus R0011 L. Plantarum R1012 B. Lactis BL-04 B. Longum BB536 While my bhut batch was about 30oz, it stopped bubbling at about 2 weeks, and has been in the fridge since July. I am amazed at...

Galil rifles, all IMI arms... Krav Maga... But on topic, I would like to know how the knives fare, I may want a set of traveling, beater knives for when I visit friends kitchens.

How long is too long? If you prestart your culture with some sugar, honey or molasas, and then add it to your peppers, wouldn't that really accellerate your ferment? Isn't that what you do with beer? I don't know- I don't brew or drink, but that is my thought, and what I did on my first...
