    Hello,   I came across this five part series of articles on soilless potting mixes by Professor Bob Tripepi on the University of Idaho Extension website titled What Is Your Substrate Trying to Tell You.   What was useful for me is that he goes in depth into pH measurement and adjustment, but I...

    Trinidad Douglah SASBE

    Hello,   I have pure Trinidad Douglah seeds from 2012. The plants were grown seperately in pots in a suburban condo complex. No one else really grows anything except the neighbors who got my extra tomatoes, and as far as I know there were no other peppers around.   Send me a SASBE and you can...

    chinense Market Price for Fresh Bhut Jolokia and Other Superhots

    I was wondering if anyone is familiar with the usual market price for fresh Bhut Jolokias and other superhots. Can you even buy them anywhere? Don't think I've seen them for sale fresh anywhere, just the usual habs already gone soft sitting in the supermarket. Usually just generic "hot" peppers...

    Spider Mites?!

    I have a strange problem, although I'm not entirely sure it is spider mites. There are no webs, although some of my pepper seedlings' leaves have the characteristic speckled spider mite damage symptomes (but maybe not, I'm having a bad seedling year since I see my babies only several times per...

    Neem Oil

    - it's supposed to be very safe (you can burn foliage if the sun is bright); it is not harmful to mammals, birds, earthworms or some beneficial insects such as butterflies and bees - it is biodegradable - though it may not kill instantly, the active compound (Azadirachtin) disrupts the insects'...

    seeds-germination Starting Baccatum Seeds

    Howdy, Was wondering if baccatums grow as fast as annuums or as slow as chinenses so I know when to start my seeds. How many weeks to start annuums before plant out? Will be under fluorescents. (Had some space in a greenhouse previously) Thanks!

    Dark Lesions on Stem

    Was wondering if anyone could identify what may be causing these dark lesions on my overwintering peppers' stems... The new growth appears healthy, the plants are flowering again. I believe these lesions are some kind of infection that may have entered through the cuts I made, though I tried...

    plant-care Overwintered Vector Peppers

    I am overwintering some pepper plants, but I am concerned that this may not be a good idea. This season in the northeast the tomatoes were hit badly by Late Blight. My peppers were planted right next to the tomatoes. My concern is whether I may reintroduce the Late Blight again next season from...

    Damaged Fruit

    Can someone please identify what is causing these cracks. I suspect that it may be caused by slugs, but perhaps variations in moisture levels. On my Orange Habanero's most of the fruit have this damage and on some there are holes in the fruit, and inside those fruit are earwigs.
