    Flowers falling off

    Thank you guys... Im going to go with either too much nitrogen or too many minerals in the feed water. Water is very hard around here and maybe I am using too much fertilizer. So what options do I have? Bottled water? Filtration?

    Flowers falling off

    OK... some of my plants survived from last year. Namely: 3 fatalis, 2 caribbean reds, 1 orange hab and 1 peruvian rainbow. The problem is that flowers have grown, but they wilt and fall off. Plants look healthy. Weather temps have been around 80 degrees in the last few days. I water once...

    seeds Seed Viability

    I have a couple of questions for the chile sages: 1. I currently have a large amount of last year's crop in my freezer. Will the seeds of these peppers be viable? 2. If I buy dried pods at the market, will these seeds be viable?

    A Guatemalan Grow Log

    Well... it seems that turning the heat mat at night has helped some of the seeds into hatching. Out of 72 cells, only two are showing signs of life. Still, its better than nothing but I hope more will awaken this week

    wanted Looking for Superhot seeds

    Seeing as I probably have ruined all my super hot seeds I was wondering if someone has any super hot seeds left over. I have two kinds of wild chiltepes from Guatemala and some Cobanero seeds as well if anyone is interested. Thank you!

    drying dehydrating liquid spices

    I tried to make a powdered spice using chiles, tomatoes and other herbs aand spices (emulating sazon Goya) but it tends to clump up. I believe an anticlumping agent is necessary in any spice powder, isn't it?

    drying dehydrating liquid spices

    I had this same doubt myself but haven't tried dehydrating liquids before. Potato chips list ingredients such as vinegar solids and powdered lime juice. I will also try this and report what happens.

    Anyone Else Like Fresh Boiled Crawfish?

    I looooove crawfish!! I used to live in Lafayette, LA. We used to eat crawfish all a restaurant called Crawfish Town USA and in the Gator Cove. Best crawfish ever! In Abbeyville I believe this was... AJ is right... the best part is the head. How I wish I had some 20 pounds right now! I...

    health Something is wrong, officer...

    Thank you for the tips. I will panic again in 10 days. It's just that it has never taken this long for at least a couple to poke out. Also, do I have to have the heat mat on at all times? I read somewhere that nigth temps should be lower or something along those lines. Once again, thank...

    health Something is wrong, officer...

    Well, I don't know what to think... I have been checking my germination station day and night and nothing. It now has been 10 days since planting time and not one has come up. I would account this for normal except that mold has developed in some of the tray cells. Could it be that my seeds...

    seeds Germination Station

    I got the same one but with the 6" dome. Mine came with coco plugs. The heat mat keeps the soil at about 87° and I think that is enough for me. I think if your climate is cooler it will only raise temperature 10-15° higher. I planted 6 days ago and still no sign of germination. I find...

    For the first one I would add some cilantro, fresh if possible. Goes really well with lime.

    Can anyone help me with a sauce ?

    Sounds nice, like a barbecue type sauce. I personally don't like tomato as a base and I think the carrot has been abused but in the end it comes down to personal taste. Dyce... I agree with you, lime works great in hot sauces

    fermenting some ?'s about a mash...

    I did a jalapeno mash once and it came out pretty good. I can't remember exactly but I think this is what I did: 30 lbs green jalapeños 8% Salt I just chopped peppers, added salt (had to add a little water to get peppers chopped in a food processor) Then I just let it sit in broad mouth...

    preservation How to prevent too much vinegar taste in sauces?

    Didn't cook it? That sounds like a potential exploding bottle to me. I always cook my sauces and then check Ph. Otherwise "fresh" sauces have to be consumed in 2-3 days or they turn against you.
