Found a damn hornworm on my Jays Peach Ghost Scorpions.  Murdered it with fire.   Do these things travel in packs or once you get rid of one, you are usually good?   I will obviously keep on the lookout for more, didnt see any tonight.   It was a big bastard.

I would leave it as is and bring it on it and keep it by the light.

People under-estimate these peppers.   BUT so far nobody that has tried my reapers has said "I will never do that again".  They all are interested in trying them again and other super hots.

you have classic signs of over watering(yellowing leaves and flower drop).    Being in the sun and heat all day and the withering based on that is different than a withering due to lack of water.  In my experience with high daytime heat here in Texas(90+ for the last 5-6 weeks), no matter how...

stop watering

im in big raised beds, 40% shade cloth, etc... and the plants(supers) still wilt during the day and recover at night.  My 18 month old reapers that are 4' tall do not wilt, but they have a crazy root system.  All 8 of my 7 month old(small) plants(4 BOC and 4 Jays Peach) wilt down during the day...

my first reapers, which werent even true reapers came about 8 months after initial germination.  Now they werent necessarily grown in the best environment either so I know they were stunted, but 90 days, bull shit.  I think I was barely out of solo cups at the 90 day mark.

Ive never had issues spraying Bonide Fruit and Nut onto flowers that are infested with aphids.  I guess most still produce, but the aphids eating the polen is probably just as bad or worse than whatever you spray.

Our heat down in Dallas is a bit more brutal than yours in Tennessee and I barely water my pepper plants.  I think I have run my drip irrigation on my peppers twice in June and that was only for 30 minutes each time(so 1/2 gallon per plant).   The plants in the heat will wilt during the day due...

all the first pods off of my reapers were like that too.  Now they are producing some nasty nasty pods.

the plant is already gone.  I was trying to cut back the obviously bad stems, and the center was completely dead and hollow, I dont think there is anything that will bring that back.  The one piece that looked good is what I am attempting to clone.   My question really was "is it possible there...

So I figured out one of my plants had Phytophthora blight due to it losing almost all of its leaves and the stems dying from the bottom up.  I started cutting back the dead stems and it was basically into the main "trunk" of the plant.  There was one stem that was still alive(and still had most...

If anybody in DFW needs a few reapers, ive got about 30 between plants that should be ripe in a few weeks.  They are nasty looking too.

All the seeds came out of the same seed packet, so unless a weird seed fell into the packet, its hard for me to understand 1 out of 5 being a completely different breed of chili.  Just seems like dumb luck or dumb coincidence.   Everything has started out upright and then turned into a pendent...

Here is my other thread with pictures of the two different phenotypes I am getting.   This plant is putting out these types(second almost identical green pod), the other 4 are putting out the same white-ish phenotype that looks completely different from this one plant...

  spinosad is what I am talking about.  I wont say the product itself is "organic", but its supposedly biological in nature and seems to be derived from a fermentation of something. Way beyond my level of knowledge.   Here is one website that talks about how its produced...

  Wait, wait wait... Spinosad is the ONLY thing I found that is organic safe for gardens for killing off fire ants specifically in garden beds.  I did a lot of research a few weeks ago to get rid of my fire ant problem in 2 of my beds and every website on it said spinosad(or spinosad based...

  yea I felt it wasnt quite ripe, but i am not exaggerating that this pod was on that plant for 2+ months, maybe more like 3(early april I believe).  I guess the excitement got the better of me, although I am not not disappointed I ate it.  PLUS the other plants are putting off pods that look...

this is sugar rush peach, or supposed to be.  Seeds were bought from superhotchilis.com so I assume they are legit.   I started another thread in the growing forum this morning asking about the phenotype difference.  I have 5 of these plants and this one is putting off pods like this and the...

Im not 100% sure this pepper had fully ripened, or even if the phenotype is right(my other Aji's are putting out way different pods IMO) but I ate it anyway.  Its been on the plant for ~2 months now, maybe longer.  Decided tonight was the night I was going to eat it up.  Tomorrow is the day my...
