Pro Mix BX with about 1/8 compost at transplant time. Since then, everything for plants the same.

You're kidding right?! I drive to MN just to buy the stuff! Love it!

He's a genius who doesn't care about the fame. IMO anyhow.

Probably not allowed to use a compilation/greatest hits album, but ..... The Best Of The Allman Brothers Band.

Here is an attempt at an over the top photo of each also: Photos aren't the best, but you get the point.

Both plants are Inca Red Drop. Both from seed. Both the same height when transplanted. Plant on the left is in Pro-Mix. Plant on the right is in Miracle Grow Potting Soil. Other than that plants have been treated the same (ferts, water, etc.) Gee....wonder which is worth using next year???? Just...

Exact same issues with mine this year. EARWIGS! Kill em all and fast, they caused a small disease outbreak with a few of my plants, thank goodness they only killed three before I found them.

The first pic sure looks like herbicide burn to me. Accidently done that a few times.

I pretty well understand the naming game of hot peppers, but third year in a row to grow this, and have no idea what the PA stands for. Anyone know?

Nightime temps are in the 60 degree range. Only a few plants are doing it. The inca red drop seems to be the worst with three plants doing it, but it seems to be the baccatum plants in general. I just don't remember this in previous years. When I say stems bent, I just mean droopy, not like they...

Up until this year I would consider myself a veteran of the pepper growing hobby. But here I sit stumped. Has anyone else experienced their plants drooping after the sun goes down? My plants stand tall all day long in the sun and then after the sun goes down/gets cloudy they droop like plants...

You need to remember that a plant's main purpose is to reproduce. When something in its environment changes it can cause premature fruiting and/or premature pod ripening. Rootbound, lack of light, drought, etc can cause plants to do funny things. Try it in the fall to get pods to ripen quick...

AMEN!

Im no expert but I believe that lack of calcium in the soil is the main cause of BER. I would guess that a complete fertilizer would help, as a lot of forms of calcium have to break down in the soil to be used by a plant. Please don't take my advice as gospel as there are far smarter people on...

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but 2000 pods from one plant would take me probably ten seasons.

Thanks again everyone. Gonna be eatin the naga pod tonight. I have to be honest and say that I'm just a little on the scared side.

This is making me kick myself for not growing the old reliable lemon drop this year. I still don't know how I managed to overlook it. Lookin good!!

Is there more than one type of goat's weed? Mine have the same pod shape,size,color,etc but my plant is very hairy. Yours seems hairless.
