I've worked produce at a local grocery chain for 8 years and this year for the first time fresh ghost peppers and Carolina reapers can be ordered. All you specialty Chile business people out there look out, corporations are catching on to the superhot thing

Grabbed my seed to give the roaster a workout from NMSU, I run 4 varieties. 6-4 heritage, big Jim, Joe e. Parker and sandia select. Not exactly midwest but growing here in northern co (zone 5a/b) they do very well. Nothing beats a fresh roasted batch of green chiles and I make more space for...

I'm with hogleg on this one. My first thought was to get them into something with drainage pronto. Its only a matter of time until some serious root issues could develop without drainage.    Be exceedingly gentle moving the little ones and they should be fine.   Those 5g fabric pots should work...

Heres a pic of the ph test i did at home here. Looks like it verifies some alkalinity to me, but I had a hard time really telling much difference in the green shades on this test. I will probably run another test just to make sure.

  You know, I'm really not sure why I ended up on those...they were there and it seemed like a nice idea. They have nice little adjustable vents on the top and I'm quite glad I got them instead of the standard issue shorty.

Quick little update and a question regarding everyone's favorite Poblano types...   I usually grow "Tiburon" type poblanos mostly because they are readily available from a local nursery every year. While they taste delicious and have proper heat, they tend to run small and aren't the best...

That special smell when you crack open the seed box     Here's the 2 flats I started     The sprouting space   Currently running a 4x24w T5HO fixture that doubles as a heating mat and a new 300w Viparspectra LED off amazon. Seems to be a nice light for $80...time will tell     Nice lenses on...

This definitely has potential to...

Looks like an awesome grow, excited to see where this one goes!
