    Fruit characteristics in individual plants

    Hey, I hope everyone is having good and warm weather.   How much can the characteristics of the fruits vary on the same plant? Color, I presume, is a constant value not including various pigment or saturation varieties. Also self evident is the difference in shape and size. I've a Trinidad...

    container Alternative Kratky containers?

    Hey! I have been doing the double cup and cup-in-a-jar method for growing peppers for the second year but I've started to dislike cups as the soil retaining canisters. It seems that cut bottles (using the bottle neck as the soil holder) would be neat but I can't figure out how to keep the soil...

    Sudden withering

    A warm hello in this "chilly" December! He he! As you can see the problem with my plants is getting worse by the day. It's been a week between the first two pictures. I came back from the holidays expecting the plant to get a bit more dry (suspecting I had over watered it) and spring back to...

    Acclimation causing yellowing?

    About a week ago I had to bring my pepper plants with me to a different city and I put them outside. Previously they were growing on a southern windowsill and were doing really good. Now one of them is about to "kick the bucket" it's living in. (I may have killed someone with that pun)  The...

    Dark/black/evil varieties?

    As the title suggests I would like to inquire as to are there and which are some dark or even black (both foliage and/or fruit) varieties. I've come to find "Black pearl" but the small berry type fruits are not my type. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Variety suggestions

    Right now I'm sticking with a regular red Habanero from a store bought fruit just to get the hang of what it is to grow something - a test if you will. I'm most certainly not a chilli-head (I'm still not used to really spicy foods) but I'd like to be in the future. What I'd like to ask is: Could...

    soil Regular moss as a topping for soil

    Hey! Just a quick disclaimer: I'm completely new to growing whatsoever and have little to no understanding of how nature works. I have a few seedlings growing ever-so-slowly on my windowsill and thought to myself one day that covering the "blank" soil underneath with some moss would be...
