So it begins for another new season. Its still dropping to near freezing outside, but it wont be long and it will warm up. This time last year i was overseas working in the highlands of a little third world country and didnt get started till late. Not this year though...... they are up and...

I thought it would be good to start a thread for anyone in Australia to post up pics of the Douglahs they have growing at the moment. To campare strains and discuss the plants in general. If people in other countries have them going ATM, or have pics of Douglah's they just grew, they are also...

Well i started building one a year or so ago........... posted some pics i think. But the freezer was a piece of shit and i wanted a bigger one. Well........... i scored a 500 liter chest freezer for $50 and its a rippa. I began work on it. I have a 3 tap cobra font with the latest design...

Well we will start at the start this year. I have built a grow box and i cant wait to use it. Im going to get some seed trays tomorrow and will have seeds in by tomorrow night. I ran the box with lights and fan and got 29 deg air temp in the center of the enclosure. here is the box closed up...

Bought a bottle of Vodka this arvo and made my Chilli Vodka. This is going to be great next to the fire over winter....... with a bucket to drool into I added 2 fresh 7 Pots and 2 Devil tongues strait off the bush. I cut out the seeds as i didnt want seeds floating around in there. They arent...

Ok...... here we go. I have had a lot of chillis so far this year. My goats weed has hundreds of chillis on the plant, drying in the sun and wasting away. Just too many to use. I had a Siam which was suposed to be yellow but ended up orange with about 40 ripe chillis on it but on tasting they...

With an abundance of Bhut jalokias i decided to make a Madras Curry based sauce. No curry paste from a jar here though. HEre is what i did. Heat a table spoon oil in a pot and drop a tsp of mustard seeds (mix of light and dark) in the oil. The desired wersult is to have the oil hot enough to...

Moyboy gave me a ripe Fatalii today, so tonight i made a bottle of sauce with a Bhut and a Fatalii. An awsome combo for flavour and heat. took me a total of 20 min into the bottle. First i dropped 3 tomatoes into boiling water for 30 seconds and skinned and de seeded them. Chopped them coursly...

Hi folks. With the whole fatalii "comparison :lol:" happening......... i got motivated to build something to grow chillis in under lights. ITs not big enough to grow a full sized plant in but im not interested in that and dont have the room. I mainly built this to start seeds in and get them...

I made some sauce a day or 2 ago. It was pinaple based, i used about 50% water/vinigar and i read up on the use of the Xanthan Gum. It said to sprinkle it in while the mix was being blitzed in a food processor. So thats what i did and it gummed up nice. nice saucy consitincay but it held air...

YEah i know......... its been asked before.......... Ahhhhhhh not another lighting thread! BUt i was wondering if anyone knows the best way to preserve these as the tasty little rings you buy in jars to put on your Pizza/cheese and buickies/breakfast! Im guessing a 50/50 Water/white vinigar...

Hi all. I know i love to watch peoples projects as they progress so here is my latest one. I had a 320 liter freezer for the job but: 1. It only fit one 50 liter keg and the other had to be a little 19 liter corny. 2. It blew up when my sister in law sat sofa bed cussions over the compressor...

Hi All I have some 7 Pot seedlings sprouting. I got the seeds fron Trinni last year. I sprouted a plant before winter and it died and i noticed something strange about the seedling. The one thats just sprouted has the same curious feature. It has 3 little first leaves. I dont know the...

Well its finaly warmed up. No more frosts, 20 deg c days. Time to move the plants from the fish tank in the bar room to the sunshine outside. So far i have a Tobago Seasoning that is very strong and healthy. I even stepped it up into a bigger pot. Its going to be a ripper of a plant: There...

Hi all. Its cooling down here at night and the little chilli plants have slowed down. They are hot climate Trinidad and naga plants so they need some warmth. A hot lemon, fatalii, tobago seasoning, and a nice and strong Devils tongue. I want to grow all these over winter but not make them too...

Hi Folks..... ive been going to do this for a while. I make my home brew from scratch. I have built a grain mill that cracks the malted barley, i soak it in hot water in the temp controlled brew rig and boil it with hops of my choice. i have temperature controlled fridges to firment in and...

I have a glut of orange habs and was wondering what the best way to make a chilli concentrate would be. I basicly want a pure chilli paste in a jar. Im thinking cooking them down with some white vinigar and water till soft and a light blitz to a course paste consistancy. any ideas or...

I have looked at lots of sites on the net with lots of sauce recipes listed on them. I also Home brew and im good at that. I look at the recipes on the net and think..... what are they thinking.... yuck! Most will be totally unballanced and not so good. I am not very experienced at making...

I ordered Manzano red seeds. A Rocoto plant grew... and grew well. I was expection red chillis but they ripen yellow. I figure it goes with all the other dodgy seeds i bought from a certain seed site that i wont visit again! anyway.... yellow rocotos will be fine...... notto bothered...... but...
