Nice glog, only just found it.  Do you think the larger jonah will pull through?  Did the mother plant survive winter?   My jonah overwintered in an airpot on my front porch under the eves.  It looks a little bit the worse for wear but is still trying to put out pods.  Right next to it was a...

I see you are bottom watering.  Are you fertilizing at all and if so are you adding it to the water?  I started my seeds in Solo cups 2 weeks after you and my biggest are just onto their 4th set of true leaves. I suspect they have been a bit cold on the window sill, just recently they are...

Interesting idea.  You should also pick one seed to taste on camera.  Once it grows up you could get something mild or wild.

It really depends on your soil acidity to start with.  If it is basic(pH of more than 7) then acidifying the soil will be advantagous to the plants.  Why were you adding citric acid to the water to begin with?   It is hard to say what has caused the change as you have a few variables at play. ...

Hmmmm, pretty jealous.  My plants are a long way back.  I sowed seeds throughout June and my biggest are about the size of your Reapers.You are going a great job. I have been growing with natural light on a window sill, your grow is making want to get my grow light out. Those dorset nagas look...

  Perhaps indefinite doesn't mean what you think it means :P

Yeah, I would say you should be in the clear for watering for a couple of weeks, maybe just check the soil every 3 days, it will give you a good indication of how it dries. I hope you don't get a rainy period, that seems to always happen when you want dry soil.   To provide an indication I might...

I had to read the wiki page on IL to get a better handle on your weather.  Your highs are similar to mine but the humidity seems higher there.  I now think your plant maybe dropping leaves because it is drowning.  It would be great to hear from another Illinois grower about whether they water...

i suspect the fertilizer is the issue.  can you providedetails around the product and how much you used.  Also i almost never need to water my inground plants.  onceevery 2 days sounds like a lot of water

    Haha, Nigel is a professional biochemist/golfer so I had to make sure my nomenclature was up to par.

Great idea Nigel.  Based on a tablespoon of Sodium Bicarbonate weighing 15g and having MM of 84g, consuming 2 TBSP means you are eating 0.36 Mole NaCO3. Based on 1L of gastric juice as a 0.1M HCL solution and 1:1 stoichiometry means you should need a maximum of 8.4g Sodium Bicarbonate or just...

Ian Anderson is a super hero of mine, it was not meant with any disrespect.   

Brilliant review. You look a little more Motorhead and a little less Jethro Tull in this video, the pepper also seems somewhat heavier. I  find superhots scary generally, this looks terrifying.

Is the beer to help the worms forget about what you're feeding them?

This vegetable oil cure sounds like it would almost be enjoyable if it weren't for the burning.

Eating them is what will build your tolerance as you correctly state. Peppers which are too how can always be used in hot sauces and in cooking so I wouldn't go out of your way to increase your tolerance, it will happen naturally if you are eating spicy foods. I have been thinking for some time...

Great glog, very neat set-up.  I hope you reap the pods you deserve :party:

It will be a function of the number of flowers on the plant in question and the number of flowers and their distance on other plants. (I tried really hard not to say "depends" which obviously you know and provides no useful information).  My limited experience shows with a row of 5 different...

Thanks, I am also relieved about the dogs all pulling though.   My plants are underway, sent PM.

I just wanted to warn everyone about my recent experience with dogs getting into compost. Yesterday I noticed one of my compost bins was a bit dry so decided to empty both bins and restack them mixing in a few new choice kitchen scraps. While wheelbarrowing the compost between both sites both my...
