They'll be fine.  You'll be fine.  In the earliest stages, spritz the top just to be sure.  Once their root systems are slightly developed they can wick from the bottom just fine and don't care what surface soil looks like.   If the containers feel light and the mat is dry, wet the mat and give...

  An admittedly poor example, but it's an easy and cheap way to show someone a universal flavor profile that doesn't necessarily remain exact across types.  I felt it was easier to explain that way than to tell him to compare a Yellow, Red, and Chocolate Bhut to the similar color Fatalii for...

Did you get your seeds sorted yet, JUR-Z?  The Yellow Primos are great, so the Yellow Reapers will be great, too.   As to the side discussion.  I remember when the Red Savina happened and its origin is pretty much undisputed.  If you've ever grown it alongside a traditional Red Habanero, you...

I wanted to acquire some seeds and grow these at some point because the plant looks cool as heck when podded up.  Now I can't grow them because it became 'hip' and people might mistake me for a moron.  Damn you, hipsters!  :drunk:

Turkey Tray + Mini Solo Cups + Something to Stab Holes + Cheap Sprayer I use a mixture of spritzing and bottom-watering so I have the option of filling the holding tray and letting them go for a few days without me if necessary.  Go find one of those handheld air-pressure pump sprayers you can...

Go to your local grocery and buy a few of every single green chile they have available.  (Jalapeno, Serrano, Poblano, etc.)  Every one of them will have the "green chile" flavor, but it will be distinctly different and not just due to the varied heat levels.  If you eat a yellow/orange pepper of...

I've got a few spare 7 pot seeds of different sorts and have been trying to rebuild my seed stock since someone threw almost my entire collection away by mistake this past year. I like the sound of all that pink you have. Sent you a PM.

Keep in mind the heat from a mat doesn't shut off or pick up instantly, so you're mainly looking for a setting with a good average. If you're putting the probe into a cup of the same medium that you're germinating in (as you should), be sure to keep it watered the same as you do the seeds...

Aloha! A nice sized yard? Does the parks service know you're squatting on public property? :D

You should enjoy all those aji, for sure. What bhut variety are you growing? I lived in Vancouver for a while. Miss the BC weather something bad, but not necessarily this time of year. Ha!

Hey Peter, I was thinking of growing some of my plants in 2-gal self watering systems this year pretty much exactly like in your picture. How big do the plants tend to get for you in those? Do they still produce decently?

As someone possessed of a rare and inoperable brain tumor, you can imagine I stay up on cancer research. Sadly, this bit of news is the scientific equivalent to a statement from NASA along the lines of "We now see it as feasible to build a permanent base on Pluto!" We currently can't even...

My friend has one similar to that. (He hilariously refers to it as "My OOF-Oh light" in his thick, German accent and I now hear that every time I see UFO written anywhere.) It should be perfect in a 2x2 grow tent. His is using 3w leds as well and puts out a good footprint at 18" from the top...

Just got some seeds from AJ over at http://www.peppersbymail.com/ this week to go with what I was already growing in 2017. I wanted to take this opportunity to bump his topic for those of you who might still be looking for things to grow. (Or gift ideas, since he now offers gift cards on his...

I make various pepper wines, including meads. You can use fresh or dried, but I prefer to use fresh peppers. Flavoring honey is probably more trouble than it is worth, considering you could make a basic hot sauce much easier with the same peppers and just throw a few dabs of that into/onto...

Cubs Win! Cubs Win! Cubs Win!   RIP Harry Caray, we finally did it.

Go ahead and add a + to the Yellow 7 Pot.  Those things are great. Speaking of yellows, AJ Drew tossed a bunch of 7 Pot Bubblegum Yellow in with my last order and I found them absolutely delicious.  Think of them like Brain Strain Lite.  Not as painful, but still tasty and with staying power. ...

They're all great.  Scotch Bonnet varieties will always beat habaneros on flavor, in my book.  If you grow the Safi you probably want to top it once or twice early on to avoid having a lanky ass top heavy plant by the time it fruits.  On the habs, the Caribbean Red has the same exact flavor of...

I love the red savina.  If you've ever eaten a red habanero, the red savina is exactly that with more heat.  Averages within a really happy zone well below Bhuts but somewhat above "hottest standard hab you've ever eaten".  Keeps to the same habanero 5-minute-burn profile with a quick, sharp...

Here's your serious answer on all counts. Do a lot of black folk seriously love hot sauce?  Let me put it like this.  If you go into a soul food restaurant that doesn't have at least two varieties sitting on every single table; you're probably in a soul food restaurant owned and operated by...
