That's one hell of a catalog, very impressive. What kind of LED bars are you using on the top rack, and what do you think of them? I grow on 48" racks similar to what you have and been thinking about getting something like those to supplement my entry level sized panels, rather than buying a...

Starting to see some of cool results from topping experiments.  I definitely like what I'm seeing and think I'll be topping most all of my plants next year.   Here is a bhut that wasn't topped and just got really tall.  Just nothing between those two established sets of leaves but 1 tall stem. ...

True.  And day time temps will support it, but we can also get overnight frosts through early to mid May.  Just depends on the year.  Looks like we'll hit lows in the mid 20's F again next week.  What can I say...old man winter takes his sweet time with us lol.

  Sounds like you've thought it out by putting the annuum out first and then following up with the chinense.  That's what I'm planning to do, but I'm a bit envious if I'm being honest, as for me I've still got many weeks still until I start moving things out to harden off before finally planting...

Lows 60's and up to 70 is not terrible, mid 70's is better though and upper 70's is ideal.   Again, I think they could really use more light and a gentle breeze, even inside.  So they won't be as leggy.  But that just depends how into it you want to get.  I'm running no-name 1000 watt LED panels...

Haha! Sure man, come on over. Take route 7 pot until you pass Jolokia Place, I'm right there on the corner of Bhut Way and Naga Lane. ;-)

Not an expert, but I maybe wouldn't sweat it. Or at least not go as far as to chemically treat it just yet. The curling is interesting though as my leaves usually curl up when the LED panel is too bright, closing themselves off from it rather than curling down. Could just be variety specific how...

Nice! Must've been a good feeling to see those lady beetle larvae crawling on your plants. Plus they look pretty cool, or at least I think they do.

Real nice CD, I like your set up, simple and effective. Definitely going to follow to see how those datils turn out. I've never tried one, but the descriptions make them sound like pretty tasty pods.

Best of luck.  Where I live aphids are an unavoidable part of the spring.     Can you buy aphid wasps?   I was looking into maybe buying some lacewings this spring since I've really stepped up the number of plants and already know it might (probably will) get out of control.  I guess they're...

Here they are after a nice rest.  Love how these plants look.  Think I might even put some out front as "ornamentals".   Bih Jolokia     Safi/African Scotch Bonnet  

Greetings, from a neighborhood near you  ;)   Good luck this summer!

Doesn't really look terrible, but it does seem they might like a good bit more light and maybe a gentle breeze to grow stronger/less leggy. How cold is it getting? Most agree heat mat is unnecessary once they sprout.

Hi Wunder, well, what are your goals? What do ya want to grow?

  Thanks PaulG.  Well, I'm just working with clip on fans for now.  It's a balance, getting them to move enough air around but not totally blast any one group, since they don't oscillate.  I've got them angled to be more of a 24/7 indirect air flow, but it seems to be doing okay.  I'm just going...

Thank you CaneDog. Yes, it shows up on the bottom of leaves as well in the more affected ones. My biggest concern was it was a disease, but they're growing just fine alongside the rest and it hasn't spread to any other plants. Just those Cayennes do it. Thanks again friend.

Well, it has been a while, so I thought I would update.   I had to grab a different shelf, since there was no way I'd be able to grow these for the next 6-8 weeks in the old one.  Plus it doubles as kind of a cool mood light for the room with the khaki cover, lol.       I've finally perfected...

Interesting, thanks for your insights BlackFatalii.  I did not know there was 7 pot in its heritage, the description only mentioned the bhut carbon x habanero.  Got them from Hippy Seed Co since I was already picking up a few other obscure things there.   I can see the similarity between your...

Just wanted to see if anybody's carbonero experience lines up with what I'm seeing from my supposed carbonero plants. Being a bhut/habanero cross, I'd expect it to look similar to them, but it's currently sitting next to some bhuts and bonnets and is exhibiting some interesting differences...

That's deep, man.
