Hey all!  I have about 10 Carolina Reapers growing in pots in the back and have sadly been writing them off because I've been injured, unable to really take care of them or leave the house for fertilizer.   Amazingly they are doing better than expected and are starting to get peppers but the...

Hey you all!   I live in South Louisiana but I am expecting to get freezes on and off for the next few months.   I pulled my peppers into the garage and put them under a grow light that I think is a lot less than they need.   I got started late and never got any peppers but just wanted them to...

Hey you all!   A couple of years ago I grew a bunch of Reapers and wasn't too happy with the quality of the plants I got (I suck though so most of that was likely me).  I want to make sure I get my seeds from the right place this time.  Doesn't the originator of the variety sell them somewhere...

I have six or so Carolina Reaper plants outside and we are expecting a light freeze here in New Orleans in the next day or 2 (just expected to maybe go into low 30's in the early morning hours).   Will a couple of hours below freezing kill them?  They have a few orange peppers on them but they...

Hey guys and gals.  Any idea what might be causing this hilarious issue I'm having?   Peppers started out relatively small but OK (smaller than a golf ball) but now several are doing this:   http://prnt.sc/d5oyox

Hey you all!  You've been a great help on the growing side and now I am about ready to make some sauce.   I've promised some hot sauce to my friends and for novelty sake I'd like to keep it as hot as possible.   I've heard that if you cook the sauce it will reduce the heat and then I've also...

Hey you all.  You have been so helpful in the past I was hoping for some tips on this.   I finally got some green peppers coming after 2 years at this and now I have some weird little colonies of critters taking over most of my buds.  They are so small that it is hard to see with the naked eye...

Hey you all, I just posted a few days ago about some brown spots on my peppers and it looks like whatever it is has spread fast and taken over ... looks more like it is attacking the outer edge of the leaves now.   It has spread from a few leaves on two plants to all leaves on all plants in just...

Hey you all!  Two quick questions I was hoping someone could help me with:   1)  I've included a pic below of some brown patches I'm seeing on a few of my plants.  Was hoping there was a natural fix for it.  Any ideas?     2)  Its not easy to see from the pic, but when I repotted them a couple...

Hey you all! I have been nursing these poor peppers for over a year. They died once due to who knows what and I re-potted them and brought them back. I then took them inside for the winter at which point they thrived for a couple of months and then the leaves turned light and fell off ...

Hey you all, I've stripped down, re-potted and brought inside my Carolina Reapers for the winter.  I'm basically very new at growing anything and you all have helped tremendously with all of the little hiccups I've had along the way.   I noticed some springtails on my last watering and a few...

Hey guys, you all helped me a lot a few weeks ago with what to do to prepare my plants to bring them in for the winter.   I stripped all of the old soil out, hosed the roots off really good, pruned ALL of the leaves off and then poured a whole dose of Neem oil over them.   Then I put them in...

Hey you all!  I'm about to repot some peppers and take them in for the winter and wanted to know what type of pre-bagged soil would be best for them?   My only option, unfortunately, would be a  local Home Depot or Lowes so it would have to be a more main stream type of soil.   Thanks!

Hey you all!  I have a batch of pretty beat up peppers that are not doing too well (in pots) - and down here in New Orleans it's about to start getting colder and I think rather than just letting them finish dying outside I will bring them back in and try to nurse them a bit under lights.   In a...

Hey you all.  I posted a little while ago about why my lower leaves were turning white and you thought it might be over watering so I slacked off on the water with the hope that the new growth would thrive and now I have a new and much worse problem.   Something has atacked the top leaves on...

Hey you all!  I am new to this and you helped me with some questions early on but now my little Carolina Reapers are outside in bigger pots with some loose soil that is supposed to keep me from over watering them (I water them about twice a week until it runs out of the bottom of all the pots)...

Hey you all!  I just started leaving my lights on 24/7 on the recommendation of some of you all and most of the plants are loving it but after a few days the first born started getting these dark splotches on the newer leaves.   Is it related to having more light or something worse?  

Hey you all!  Great forum you have here.  I just planted my first batch of peppers and really have no experience growing anything.  They are just sprouting (about 3 weeks) and are in little 12 oz cups with some Miracle Grow germination soil. I have a CFC grow light about 1 foot above them and it...
