Despite appearing relatively healthy, a few of my plants have very light green leaves compared to the rest of my plants.  Is this generally do to a nitrogen or nutrient deficiency?  I have been using ¼-1/2 strength fert since I potted them up.  Should I increase the steaghth of my fert when I...

What do you do when you run out of growing space under your T5 lights?  I have another month until I can transplant my plants outdoors and at this late in the growing stage I really don’t want to invest in a new light.  I don’t have any issues with pests or disease.  Do I run any risk in harming...

My plants seemed to be doing well when all of a sudden all of my new growth was becoming yellow and shriveled.  The older leaves are now becoming very puffy looking and developing a yellow tinge around the outside edges of the leaves.  Have my plants developing some sort of deficiency or is this...

Will plants that overcome difficulties as seedlings (ext. over water/over fertilize in the early stages of growth) produce less fruit or be prone to more problems as mature plants?  I had some difficulties right out of the gate but they seem to have corrected themselves and are now on the right...

I was wondering what is the best method to lower my PH in my solo cups?  My PH in my cups has been a steady 8 since I planted them.  I’ve tried testing the soil with both a probe and a soil test kit and in both tests  my growing media, which primarily consists of peat, seems to be a bit...

  I feel like a good chunk of my plants are under duress.  Many of the leaves are curling and appear to be burning at the tips. A few of their leaves are also turning black.  Can someone please let me know what is going on, and what can I do to resolve my problem.  I tried raising the lights a...

  My seedlings have been doing well up until today.  I watered them last night and when I got home from work today one of my plants was completely brown and allot of them have turned slightly yellow and have this upward leaf curl.  I figure it is either because I have over watered them or I have...

When do you introduce light to your seedlings when germinating in a humidity dome?  I know some growers put their dome under lights as soon as they plant their seeds.  I have also noticed that some growers keep their humidity dome covered in total darkness and don’t introduce lights until their...

This will be my first hot pepper grow in which I'm starting from seed.  I thought it would be fun to document my season in this glog.  Before I get started I want to give a big thanks to many of THP's members that have been helping me along the way.   I have been able to put together a rather...

I know I’m still 5 months out from getting to the outdoor potting stage but I will have some free time off from work around Christmas and I figured I would start assembling a few self watering buckets since I have a ton of extra buckets lying around.    The concept I would like to try is to use...

I'm interested in hearing the pros and cons regarding container growing using either 5 gallon buckets vs. using 5 gallon grow bags. By looking through past grow logs on THP it seems that members are using both setups and I just wanted to find out what advantages/disadvantages each method...

This will be my first season to start seed indoors and I’m a little confused on which lights I should buy.  I was thinking about buying an inexpensive T5 4 tube 4 foot grow light  something like this  ...

I picked up this Excalibur 5 tray dehydrator today from Bed Bath & Beyond today for 60% off ($53.00 + tax).  It is 40% off in stores ($77.00) and then I used one of their 20% off coupons that I received in the mail on top of their in store discount.   It only appears to be available in stores...

I did my final harvest of the season this weekend and I noticed that on several of my Bhuts there were a few large black spots on the outside of the pod.  It didn't completely breakthrough the skin of the pepper but to describe what it looks like it almost appears what a cigarette burn would...

This is my first review, and the first box of fresh pods I have purchased from a THP user. I just wanted to write a quick review regarding the $14 SFRB I purchased from TexasHotPeppers last week.  I was absolutely floored when I opened the box.  First off, the box arrived 2 days after I sent him...

I'm looking to buy seeds to grow next season.  Can anyone sell me seeds for these? -Jamaican Hot Chocolate - Brazilian Starfish - Aji Pineapple - Yellow Fatalii    

I have been reading the message board for a few months now,  but this is my first post on the forum.  This is also my first season with growing hot peppers.    Back in early June I was with my wife buying some plants for our flower garden.  While we were  at the nursery I happened to stumble...
