I am near Toronto and I managed to have my peppers out until just before Halloween. The leaves all were wilting, and they all looked like they were dead.The temp was hovering around 5C/41F and dipping to 2C/35F for over a week.  I re-potted the 10 plants I wanted to keep and cut them back and...

This is common, it happened to some of my seedlings last year. I had a 5 cfl setup and a few seedlings were too close to the bulbs, they grew fine. I just moved the lights further away.

I use coin envelopes from staples, I also drop in some silica jell packets to keep them dry  

Definitely ask a local landscaper, when I have planting jobs I end up with tons of pots that I either have to pay to dump up the street or stockpile them to get a load worth the 30 min drive to the nearest nursery that accepts them. I usually end up throwing the large ones on kijiji and people...

I use a combination of fly tape and aquabac BTI      Or you can try mosquito dunks   http://www.aquabarrel.com/media/images/products/mosquito_dunks_group_450w.jpg

I have a few I kept from last year, aphids are destroying them which really sucks because I barely had any Carolina Reapers pods come out last year, and I was hoping to get a head start with overwintering but it doesn't look like they are going to make it. Hopefully my reaper seeds germinate, I...

Winston is one crazy dog, sure loves his peppers.   Finally got around to getting my seeds into their jiffy pods today. 23 Varieties - 3 Pods/Variety Except 5 Varieties That Get 6 Pods To Give To Friends - 3-4 Seeds/Pod  

After a short season here in Toronto I can safely say I have learned a whole lot this season about growing a subtropical plant in Canada. With our shorter growing season I noticed a lot of my super hot varieties, Carolina Reaper, Naga Viper etc. did not have time to fully mature. I started...

If you get decent sized plants they should produce by the end of the season. Plant when the night low is now lower than 10 and they will live. Use 5 gal buckets if you cannot plant in ground. For squirrels chicken mesh man. Miracle grow fert is expensive but why not. I use magic carpet 25-5-10...

those are some funky pots where did you get them?

It looks like it could be a ghost/habenero hybrid. A lot of nuseries supply both maybe they got crossed.

Perfectly normal. Cotyledons (first set of untrue leaves come up warped/mutated often.) Plants can even healthily grow into each other, You can take two species as seedlings, twist them together and they can merge. Also you can take a cutting and graft it onto another plant. Lisa Simpson did it...

bag the blossonms... http://thehotpepper.com/topic/38028-bagging-blossoms/ pshngo posted this a few days back http://www.ebay.com/...=item5d3a96f5ac I might be wrong but from my understanding you only have to bag a few of the blossoms, the bagged pods will be true, the others may not be as...

I purchased a bottle of this sauce, Grace Scotch Bonnet... it has this consistency that is hard to describe but it is fluid, yet not too runny. This sauce is weak in comparison to what I normally make, but in order to get this consistency that this sauce has I end up making it more vinegary. The...

Whats the recommended dilution ratio if your using 3% hydrogen peroxide?

I guess that depends on what your definition of well is :P

I would take off the humidity dome, let some fresh air circulate, get a fan on them to help the stems harden/prevent mold, and get those lights right up close to your plants so they don't become leggy, CFLs only produce max 1000 lumen each.

The mold is harmless if its due to low air circulation, white mold. If you use wood Popsicle sticks or stir sticks they tend to rot causing white mold, which is harmless. Wipe it off gently with your finger and gently turn the surface of your soil, then get a fan on it. Mold thrives in still...
