    Back in the saddle, a 2023 glog

    Hello there pepperheads, long time no see! I haven't grown anything since the 2018 season which was not a great one for me. Had okayish yield for an indoor grow, but I was swamped at work and tried too many new things which kind of made me burn out on the growing. I live in an apartment in...

    Ohjay is doin' the Coco in 2018

    Hey all!   I know I've failed miserably with maintaining my glogs the past two years but third times the charm, right? I promise to do much better this year with keeping the glog updated during the season. If I don't, please yell at me or threaten me with aphids (or something)  :lol:   After...

    heat How does sauce ingredients affect heat level?

    Might be a really hard question to answer... but in general, how does sauce ingredients affect heat level and what can you do to balance the heat?   The reason I'm asking is I made a hot sauce with watermelon and used habaneros(8) and 7pot bubblegum(3) and the heat level is way, way, way higher...

    Ohjay's 2017 smaller indoor grow

    Smaller is perhaps debatable since I plan to only have 5ish plants less than last season  :crazy:   Currently I'm in the process of deciding exactly what to grow and the plan is to get the seeds planted sometime this weekend.   My list of candidates is currently: NOT Carolina Reaper Chocolate...

    Reaper sauce?

    So.. I got these reapers that I do not know what to do with. Powder will be too hot for me to use on anything I suspect, so I was thinking sauce maybe?   Are there any viable Reaper recipes that doesn't turn out to be excruciatingly hot? I know I have to mix the Reaper(s) with some other peppers...

    travel Travel suggestions (US)?

    I hadn't really planned to, but I'll most likely end up doing two trips to the US this year and I could really use some suggestions/tips about where to go, what to do and so on.   Some past experience, what I like to do, etc: I've been to the US before and have visited Minneapolis, Chicago, New...

    Artificial light for entire growth cycle?

    As an indoor grower I'm constantly battling space and am quite limited in the amount of plants I can grow during a season while supplying them with sunlight.   So this season I'm thinking of trying to grow a couple of plants solely under artificial lights, from seedling to flowering to glorious...

    2016 is Ohjay's year of the habanero

    Last season was a great learning experience as a first time grower and hopefully I've learned a few things to make this season even better. My main let down last season was the relative small harvests I got from most plants. Granted, growing indoors and it being a bad summer didn't help, but I...

    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...

    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...

    Plant genetics, pods and disease

    Time to get the learning hat on  :cool:   As some of you might have seen, and remember, I asked for some help a while back with a couple of plants that showed signs of some kind of disease. They were diagnosed with BLS and I've been researching and reading up on it.   From what I've gathered BLS...

    What's this?

    I got home from work this morning and my dear chili plants were fine. I went to bed and woke up about 6 hours later and find this:   It's only on one plant and not all leaves have it, I'd say maybe 40% has it or shows symptoms of it. It's always on the edges of the leaves. My initial guess is...

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

    For the first time in my life I've decided to try and grow something, and since I like spicy food and especially chilis, the choice was simple. Chilis for the win!   Since my previous experience with growing anything is practically non-existant(I helped mom plant carrot seeds when I was a kid) I...

    Premature terminal buds?

    After having a good initial two months with my new babies I noticed that a couple of my chili plants have developed buds. Sounds great, right? Well, the issue is I think the buds are of the terminal variety(I hope I use the terminology right). They seem to be at the top of the stem and I'm...

    Hello everybody,   I'm Oscar from Sweden, Gothenburg to be precise. I've recently embarked on my first chili-growing adventure and came across THP while looking for some advice. I bet my sister wish I had found THP earlier so she wouldn't have to put up with my crazy chili questions  :lol:  ...
