    disease-pests These are aphids, right?

    Canon 5D Mk II and a 90mm Tamron Macro actually. :)       As for my aphids, it's still an ongoing battle. I didn't receive my aphid-fighting stuff(I don't know the name in english  :tear:  ) until monday. I then sprayed the affected plants and they seemed aphid free. A day later I inspected some...

    glog Ohjay's first adventure in chili-land - New pepper tasted

    Sent a little care-package to my sister whom as of yet isn't getting any ripe peppers. It's some White Hab, Hawai, Aji Orange, Elephant Trunk, Okrasne Spicate, Bishop's Crown and a jalapeño.   As for Bishop's Crown, I finally had a chance to try one. A very sweet and tasty pepper with some very...

    disease-pests These are aphids, right?

    Nothing fancy really. Just a good DSLR camera and a macro lens. But I was surprised to see that I could capture this much detail with it. :)     Interesting theory. I suppose it would work best if you have an isolated plant and the bugs haven't got anywhere else attractive to go.       Anyway...

    Thanks, but not sure I'd be able to find Dr Bronners in Sweden, let alone europe, but I'll see what I can find :)

    disease-pests These are aphids, right?

    Guess everyone experiences nasty pests at least once every season... now it's my turn.   I think these are aphids but wouid definitely like a clarification on that. I've tried using water with dish soap without much success. I sprayed the affected plants yesterday and 3 hours later there were...

    Thank you Karoo.   Yes I only grow indoors, I live in an apartment in a big city without any opportunity to grow outdoors unfortunately. Hmm, direct sunlight? My windows are all facing south(mostly at least) so they get daylight from sunrise to sunset(which today was roughly 12 hours). Direct...

    It's that time again.. update time. Some of these images are old, as in up to two weeks old. Oh well.   First up an old image of a ripening Hot Lemon:   And a ripening Hot Orange:   A ripening Okrazne Spicate:   Oh by the way. I learned that my Hot Lemon and Hot Orange are actually Aji Lemon...

    I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it...   My first tiny, tiny pod on my 7pot plant. I have two or three more pods forming. Hopefully none of them will abort and I'll get a few supers this season.     Yesterday I did some long overdue harvesting. It's not much compared to others but I'm...

    drying-smoking Making ground pepper - problem.

    Thanks. I suppose I won't have any issues with dehydrating my peppers then.  :dance:

    drying-smoking Making ground pepper - problem.

      May I ask what sort of peppers were talking about? In terms of heat that is. Supers?

    drying-smoking Making ground pepper - problem.

    Since we're also on the topic of dehydrating in this thread. How do you guys go about using a dehydrator if you can't use one outside, in terms of avoiding unnecessary burning sensations?  :fireball:

    drying-smoking Making ground pepper - problem.

    So... at what heat level do you guys start wearing gloves when handling peppers? For all peppers or only when you start to reach superhot heat levels?

    Hawai, jalapeño, cross or something else?

    But can the same strain have different flowers and so decidely different pods? I'm still learning, so... :)

    Time for another update. Things are moving along quite nicely and I'm getting a ton of pods on all plants except a few of the nursery plants. The 7pot is producing a couple of flowers but so far none has produced a pod. The purple hab has not even given me a flower yet which is quite...

    Hawai, jalapeño, cross or something else?

    I planted two seeds that are supposed to be Hawai plants(C. Annuum) but the plants are not identical in terms of flowers and pods so something is amiss.   Hawai are supposed to have slightly bigger pods than a Jalapeño and not as hot. One of my plants has some of these characteristics while the...

    glog Newril's swedish indoor grow (update: The world outside)

    Looking good despite the really bad weather we've had in Sweden so far :) August is looking a lot better so hopefully our plants will thrive and give us plenty of peppers late in the summer.
