Surgery went well, but I'm miserable and will be for a bit.  Here's a massive photo dump on my grow, starting with the pretty flowers on my Aji Amarillo:     The plant itself is loaded up.  All of these peppers are 4+ inches (10+ cm) long and awesome looking:     My Aji Pineapple has caught up...

I dub this, "The Lurking Horror".  (7-Pot BBG Chocolate)     White(?) Fatalii:  

Sauce, all of your plants are looking great!     I make various honey wines (mead) with chiles.  My most popular is a habanero wine that I drink and that most other people use for cooking.  I include sliced peppers in the ferment.  The placenta goes in, but I deseed them because there's a...

Gonna be laid up in bed and completely lit on painkillers all week, but unable to actually enjoy it.  Boooo. :(   Cancer's back, so my plans all got derailed.  Skipping chemo this time since we caught it early and going straight in for surgery first thing tomorrow.  In between girls again at the...

Maine lobster?  Woop!   Wouldn't even be a choice for me, but then again it is currently in the 90s every day here.  Vacation > Plants in my book.  Peace out and just buy SFRB from our local dudes if you have nobody to water every day or two and your stuff dies.  I'm about to have a month or...

  "I guess..."  LOL!  That thing looks wicked.

  Yep.  Sometimes they take forever.   Green Green Slightly darker area in one tiny spot near the stem   "Yay, it's turning!  I'll have a ripe pod any day now!"   Same Same   "Um..."   *One Month Later* HELLO I AM FULLY RIPE TODAY OUT OF ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE!

  Not offhand, but I am sure others do.  I've always used Cal-Mag for a calcium supplement.  The extra N is minimal and should only be a problem if you are using a fertilizer that has a lot of N in it.  Remember that you can always water your regular fertilizer down to half on the occasions that...

  Put a couple there.  Going to try to catch some of these as they're changing colors for that thread, to be sure.  I have another Chocolate BBG-7 from the same seed stock that I convinced a family member to stick in the full sun of their back yard.  Went over today and that thing is monstrous...

7-pots own.  If the heat is too much for you on yellows, definitely stay away from the other colors.  Try gutting the placenta and using them sparingly in large batches of chili, etc.  :D

  Okay that's a hoot.  Love it.

  Plot twist:  It's on his johnson.   "Here come tha Naga, baby!"

They look fine to me.  Puckered leaves usually indicate a need for calcium, so yours might have the tiniest bit of a calcium deficiency starting.  My advice is to water them when they are dry and otherwise leave them alone.  If the leaf pucker gets worse, mix up some Cal-Mag or its equivalent...

  This is very sound advice.  You can also potentially hit up corporate sponsors (and get free T-shirts, woop!).  All of the Fortune 500's I have worked for give their employees paid "Volunteer Hours" each year that can be spent doing local charity work during regular work hours or on weekends. ...

Putting something into a sauce changes its characteristics and flattens its burn profile.  I don't really know how to explain it, because it varies heavily depending on how the sauce is made.  Eat a whole habanero and then try a habanero based sauce.  You can practically set your watch by the...

Finally got some pics.  To help ease your mind, check out my glog.  I'll try to get some better ones in future days, but you can get the idea.  All of the plants you see in those shots were sticks like yours with zero leaves on them maybe two months ago.  I was so convinced they were going to...

Depending on the height of the net pot and the design of the buckets, you may need some manner of offset in the lower bucket to create appropriate reservoir depth.  I had bolts sitting around, so I just threw four bolts into the bottom buckets on these for the top one to sit on.  I love these. ...

  Definitely this.  Many varieties stay good on the plant a lot longer than they will stay good off the plant.  Sometimes you find yourself growing out a cross you were unaware of crossing.  Knowing what ripe looks like for a particular plant and knowing how long you can let something sit in a...
