Watching this with great interest. All I want for Xmas is an update.

Confidor is a neonicitinoid and a systemic.  Even if you spray seeds with it the residual concerntrations will be sufficient to kill bees pollinating the resultant adult plants.  The spray will actually kill bees in parts per billion dilutions.  Neonicationoids have been linked with bee colony...

I used bioforce for some predatory mites to get rid of my fungus gnats last year.  Good advice and quick shipping.

How are things coming along?  The largest 'serrano looking' palnt in the last pic of your previous post must be podded up now. 

I have just started using a soil mix that is working fantastically for me. No big suprises - 1/3 fresh worm castings, 1/3 potting mix and 1/3 vermeculite.  I also add half a cup of dolomite lime and 3 cups of chicken manure per 25 litres (6 gallons). The vermculite is insanely expensive at about...

Man, those are going crazy.  Are you having to water much?  What temp will the greenhouse get to and what temp do you limit it to?   I am so impressed with this grow, can't wait to see the mega harvest photos.

Thank you very much for taking the time to write out the recipe, looks great.    I estimate based on the 49lbs being a weeks harvest that you are picking about 2000 hot peppers a week which is 12 peppers ripening an hour every hour.  If it took you an hour to write the recipe down and post it up...

Those are looking great.  I am looking forward to harvest pictures, you shouldn't be too far away.  When are you going to let the super hots pod up?

Awesome images and plants, mind boggling.  I wonder if you would mind sharing the recipe for the Southwest Roasted Corn and Black Bean Salsa?  It looks delicious.

Yeah, it was my turbo pube that has branched and right where it branched there is a single flower forming.   No lamba mircha sprouts.  If they do pop they will overwinter inside.   Glad things are looking so good for you

Awesome, looking good. Noticed one of my pubes has split and has what appears to be the beginnings of its first flower so yours should be close.  When I repotted mine last week they were just starting to get a bit root bound fyi.  What are you picking for first ripe pod of the year?... Jonah?

Any update on how they are going in the big pots?

80-85f is the conventional wisdom.    I have found the pubes to be happier at 65-70f otherwise their leaves can go a bit droopy. Baccatums seem pretty flexible but certainly do well between 70 and 80f.

I think it sucks no-one commented on your vigilawnte pun, a work of art.   If you do not take some form of violent revenge against the pepper murdering scum then they could strike any one of our plots next.  I am only 9,000 miles from you and sometimes my lawn gets long. 

I have never really thought about horse manure as a health hazard.  Composting it is great as if can kill any seeds and grains that pass through.  If the horses weren't fed any grains I would not bother composting.   https://www.bayequest.info/static/pdf/manure.pdf   The above suggest horse...

I am a bit crazy for composting.  My worm bins get the best vege scraps and I have been known to grate carrots and the like for them.  The worm bin can only take 5oz a day so most other kitchen waste goes into one of my two little compost bin which probably holds about only about 150 gallons.  I...

Alan Cole, is by all opinions, a rude bastard.  I don't think seeds will be shaking out of this for sale any time soon.  Actually I don't think Alan has the technical competence to stabilize the stain so I would not hold your breath.

Awesome, thank you for the response.  Just for my own edification, is it likely this will be breeding some mycos? Or should I be trying to incorporate the myco's some other way?

Apologies if this has been answer but I am late to the tea party and have a question.  Do worm castings contain mycorrhizae?  mycorrhizae are quite hard to source in NZ but I have a worm farm and was wondering if making tea with fresh castings and no added myco would give me the full benefits? ...

I guess your plant is the genetic equivalent of twins.  Very strange, I might do a little reading about it.
