    A little worried ... Need a experienced eye

    The anthocyanin buildup is a general response to stress and could be caused by a number of things, including phosphorus deficiency, not enough water, not enough oxygen for the roots (too much water), intense light, nitrogen deficiency, cold soil, pathogens, too saline soil, poor root...

    Acid Reflux Damage (New Guy Here)

    I don't get any acid reflux from peppers or spicy food at all, not even superhots. I never get it from Mexican food either. I pretty much only get acid reflux from certain acidic or irritating drinks- coffee, alcohol, orange juice, lemonade, and to a lesser extent tea. Tea doesn't usually...

    Red Savina™ no more?

    A plant patent is another thing too. :D Plant patents only apply to asexually reproduced plants (cloning, runners, tissue culture, etc.) which are exact genetic copies.

    Red Savina™ no more?

    Plant variety protection and plant name trademarks are two separate things. Plant variety protection applies to sexually reproduced plants and permits only the breeder and people he or she licenses to sell the plant and seeds. The trademark is for the name only, not the genetic material. So...

    A little worried ... Need a experienced eye

    The problem is most likely that the plant can't take up nutrients effectively because of over watering and/or being root bound. There's no way that the medium is lacking in nutrients if you've been feeding them dilute nutrient solutions and CalMag. Pepper plants that size need very few...

    Hello

    :welcome: and good luck. It's a bit late to start superhots for our area though. They take quite a long time. Not trying to discourage you or saying you won't get pods, but next year I think you'll want to start them a month or two earlier because starting superhots in March is pushing it...

    water Still can't seem to get watering right!

    Asking how often other people water is kind of like asking how often they fill up their gas tank and then using that to decide when to get gas. :P Too many variables. The easiest way to judge is the weight of the container, it should pretty easy to tell how much water is in there by picking up...

    pests Got Aphids?

    I have (had?) red aphids on my overwintered plants. A lot of people say to use neem oil, but from my experience the neem oil does not phase them, at least the kind I have/had. I would soak them on a daily basis in neem oil spray and it never seemed to do anything. A couple applications of...

    japanese red chili?

    Yep those are used a lot in Mexican food, called chile japones like Aji Joe said, similar to chile de arbol. You can get a pound of them dried for dirt cheap at Mexican grocery stores, they originated in Mexico despite the name.

    Mulch/potting mix

    I think you would want to use pine bark that is at least partially composted, because uncomposted pine bark has a high ratio (300:1) of carbon (in cellulose) to nitrogen, and the bacteria that break down the cellulose consume nitrogen, so they would be tying up a lot of nitrogen while...

    Bhut Jolokia and Naga Morich

    Heat and flavor are pretty much the same, but Naga Morich is more productive while bhut jolokia pods are more gnarly and cool looking.

    Pepper Colors ie:Yellow Trinidad

    What about the chocolate bhut? It doesn't seem at all like a cross to me. It looks and grows exactly like the red bhut with the same heat level, and is said to be a naturally occurring variant. I'm not sure I could tell the difference between the two plants until the pods start changing colors.

    Unripe pods dropping

    Usually when unripe pods are dropping off it's from insects or some kind of damage to the pods. The stem turns yellow and the plant aborts the pod after an insect chews a big hole in it. Is the stem connected to the pod yellow or is it still green? Did you check the pods for holes or damage...
