That would make sense. My label reads, "Sugar Rush Peach x Ethiopian Pepper Tree". But I have others with that label and they are ripening red.

  Photo of the peppers is NOT mine (it is from kcdgarden.com, I think). I have never grown them before.

Yes, they are healthy seedlings and I just posted because the foliage at this stage is so interesting!

Great setup! Never heard of the Whore Mother pepper. Are the wicks reliable?  I may have to leave my peppers unattended for a week and have thought about using a wicking system.  Best wishes on you grow.

  Nope, he added TWO drops of 12% H2O2, but was only supposed to add one.

Search SouthernExposure for these cherry peppers (see attached photo) - sounds like what you are looking for.  They are mild annums - quick growing/ripening, and compact plant size.  Malawi, Peppapeach, and Ethiopian Pepper Tree are all baccatums - larger plants and slower to ripen.  I'm growing...

Rice seems to last forever, if you keep the critters out of it.  

I start all mine (50 this year) in Kraty containers with half-strength nutes.  I use Maxigro for the first couple months (then Masterblend, Cal Nitrate, and Epsom salts) which works great.  It comes dry with  scoop, and you use a teaspoon per gallon for the first month or so (I actually start a...

What grow medium are you using (e.g., perlite, rockwool, etc.)?     I think peppers do best with Kratky, DWC, or Dutch Bucket hydro techniques.  With Kratky and DWC, the roots are constantly submerged.  With Dutch bucket, the roots are drip irrigated regularly (I drip constant, others stop the...

I bought some bacillus thuringiensis that is apparently very effective against hornworms.  I bought it last year because I saw a lot of sphinx moths in spring.  But I don't think they were the sphinx moth species that produce tomato hornworms, because I didn't have any.  Anyway, maybe look into...

Re: leaf spot.  If the plant is otherwise doing well, I would touch up the affected leaves with a green/chlorophyll marker (temporary measure).  It is always best to figure out the "why" and address that, and not the symptom.  Ditching would be my last option.

When I plant in the ground, I always try to do it by moonlight.  I think it is easier for the plants to be transplanted at night, and it is easier to see what I am doing if there is a decent amount of moonlight.    I typically plant out in mid-May.  The full moon in May is on the 18th, so I'll...

I am doubling up plants in Dutch Buckets this year (outdoors) so I really need to isolate them if I want to use the seeds next year.   Gorilla Tape is a good idea (from your link).  I think I read about someone using hot/melt glue or something like that here as another option.  Regardless of how...

I got a big piece of this but am unsure how to best use it to isolate plants. I was thinking of sewing small bags for individual buds, or maybe gluing instead of sewing. If you use this stuff, I'd appreciate any ideas or your experiences using it, thanks!

per Guinness, anyway.
