Question, would it be possible to take the seeds from a pepper without letting it 'sit'? I watched some videos on YT and it said to let the pods sit for a couple days before taking the seeds out. I'll be getting a box of peppers soon and was wondering if I can just scrape out the seeds gently...

I'm just curious to see how you would dilute it. I've read that you use it with every watering and it's the only fert. that you should need for your plants, but I'm just not sure how much to mix in. I've heard 1/4 teaspoon per gallon, but I don't know if that's too little or too much. For those...

Question, how hot exactly are Nagareapers and Jigsaw Gators? I've never had a super hot, but I've eaten habaneros regularly with ease as of lately. My friend, never had anything too spicy, wants to try the Nagareaper and I'm going with the Jigsaw Gator. Thanks!

Does anyone use straight coco coir(have some left over from pet substrate) for a seed starting sub? I'm raising some from plastic bags and was wondering if they can be kept in just coco coir (with maybe some peat) until they grow some true leaves. Thanks!

Question for those who start seeds in plastic baggies, does this look too moist to you? I put them in yesterday but I've already had to blow air into them twice due to them deflating. Also, due to the heat mat, the condensation looks a bit much as well. Is this all normal and they should sprout...

Would I be able to produce pods with the T5 HO? I'm leaning more towards the T5 HO (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DP6OZKG/ref=twister_B01ISJ35F6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1) since they're more wallet friendly. Would the T5 HO work just as well? If the plant is still able to produce a decent amount of...

I was told before to top the plant off at 2ft or so, but I'm just worried that it wouldn't be able to produce pods then, is this true? I only have so much room in my grow tent so I'd like to know the smallest size a pepper can produce. Thanks!

So after getting inspired by another college student on here, Coup (thanks again for the ideas man, even though we haven't spoken ever lol), I decided that an efficient use of space would be fore a grow tent. My main concern would be lighting, I already have the specs down for the PVC and the...

So I'm starting this a bit early, but I'll be getting in some seeds in a day or two. Background info, student in college, living in apartment with no balcony. Will have the plants right next to my bed on a windowsill to provide some natural light, will also supplement with the following lights...

Looking for a versatile strawberry hot sauce recipe that I could use any hot pepper in. I'd like to make multiple levels of the same sauce (habanero, ghost pepper, scotch bonnet, etc.). Thanks in advance!

But hello everyone! I'm a pretty new user from the Illinois, specifically the UIUC area (college student). I'm also pretty new to growing hot peppers, so please have some patience with me! Haha. Other than growing hot peppers, I do keep tarantulas (used to breed them) and some snakes/lizards...

So I keep seeing everyone say how good Pro-Mix is, but they don't really specify which one. Would Pro-Mix Premium Potting Mix (http://www.promixgardening.com/en/product/detail/pro-mix-ultimate-potting-mix) work well, PRO-MIX PREMIUM ALL PURPOSE MIX...

So I'm gaining a bit of weight (not really overweight, just some fat on the stomach) and I've always heard that capsicum aids in weight loss (at least the studies done with rats did). I'll still be doing the normal workouts & cardio, but I'll incorporate eating a habenero pepper everyday. As a...

So before I go on, I did do some readings on previous threads, but I just want to try to get as much info before I jump into this hobby headfirst.   I'm currently a student at university and don't have a balcony so this limits me greatly. However, I still want to try to grow hot peppers. To help...
