    Healthy leaves turning gray/purple?

       No it will not be detrimental. The suntan will go away once moved outside. My plants especially when they are young like that, get a tan from my intense LED's. It does nothing to the plant except change the leaf color. If concerned move the plant in question further from the light source. If...

    Healthy leaves turning gray/purple?

     Could be suntan. But some species have purple leaves or purple genes.

    2016 Grow Start

      I actually use both. Ladybugs when there are only a few aphids. But once I see sap on the leaves and clusters I hit em with bug b gone. By the next day all the little bastards go from green to brown as they are dried out and dead. You can just blow them off the leaves. No left over residue.

    HP56 Death Strain.

      That's a good point. I mean what better words to associate with treating cancer than death and reaper.

    Pink Tiger 2016

       I actually think it has more to do with growing conditions rather than a simple fertilizer. I am up here in California wine country and I have lighting and weather conditions as close to his as possible. So I am hoping that does the trick more than the osmocote. I myself do not use osmocote.

    seeds New to growing from seeds.

     You go from peet pellet straight to solo cup. Your seedlings are hitting the dome because they are stretching for light. That's why you need to get them out.

    chinense DNA tests that proved reaper= primo?

    Who cares. There has been to much arguing about what is what. And for what? So you can put your name in the record books or sell more seeds? Or be proven right? I mean a pepper is a pepper. If it's hot and delicious I will grow it. I don't care about the DNA or who did what. If it looks good and...

    HP56 Death Strain.

    If it tastes bad I don't see the point in growing it out. No matter how insanely hot. I grow peppers to eat. Not just to stare at and say these are the hottest in the world. I don't eat them but I grew them. I mean what is the point?! I enjoy bhuts and others because they are hot and I actually...

    seeds New to growing from seeds.

    I remove plants from the dome once they are upright. You do not want access humidity and moisture as that just invites fungus and mold. Not to mention your blocking fresh air flow and good light. And you don't need to remove the netting yet. But before you transplant you need, not should but...

    New to Growing, Help me Choose!

    Rocoto and Bhut are bad peppers for first timers. I would stick with habanero, Serrano, bell, Anaheim, jalepeno. It's easy to buy seeds and the equipment to start them. But it's another thing to know how to get the seeds to actually become a plant. And a healthy one at that, at least if you want...

    PH levels

    That's good. Just make sure that you re test the water if you add anything to it. As it might change the pH. There are those that test water pH and then add nutrients and feed the plants. Not knowing that the nutrients probably pH'd the water even lower. So if you start with 6.5 water then add...

    seeds experience germing fatali/bhut?

      My Fatalii, White Bhut, Purple Bhut and Peach Bhut had their cotys out and basking in the light 5 days from sowing. All my bhuts have come up within 7 days of sowing the seed. And so far I have 12 bhuts and 2 fatalii's this year.

    White Ghost pepper

      Ok everyone. Despite what people think there are two different white " Ghost Pepper". There is the White Bhut which is pictured above. The white bhut is rough skinned and hot like the original red ghost. Then there is the " white ghost", smooth skinned short and not as hot as the bhut. White...

    PH levels

    That's too low a pH. Your pH should be 6.5 for the best nutrient availability.

    Embryonic Leaves Yellowing, True Leaves Curling Upwards

      I allow the leaves to droop a little before watering. My plants all use water at various amounts. Even a bhut the same size of a scorpion will use water at a different rate. So I treat each plant individually rather than all at the same time. I have about 25 plants at this time. The only thing...
