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...

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?

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!

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...

OK, so I got my new hot house from Hydrofarm and I have to say I am pretty excited. They were so nice they even sent me some free coco plugs. So, this last saturday I planted 72 seeds: 15 Bhut Jolokia (courtesy of Talas) 15 Naga Morich (I can't remember who sent these to me) 18 Dorset...

I recently bought a Hot House from Hydrofarms and it came with 72 coco plugs to "jumpstart" my seeds. Has anyone used these? Are they recommendable? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

OK... We are beginning to get our first orders for hot sauce. This time we got an order for 100 5 oz. bottles of our three varieties. This is the evidence. First sauce: Our green sauce. These are the ingredients: As you can see we used avocados, cilantro, tomatillos, jalapenos, chiltepe...

Ok my friends, I need help once again. Seems my hot sauce was liked by friends and family and now someone aske me to sell it to them so they can be placed in gift baskets. Im all for that but I need a Ph tester now. Can anyone point me in the direction of a Ph tester? One that looks nice...

Ok... Im sure all of you know what a chiltepe is. I have been paying closer attention to chiltepe bushes that I come across. Yesterday I encountered a wild chiltepe bush on the street and now I can compare it with the chiltepes from the bush in my office. The two peppers are completely...

OK... here's the deal. I bought Fatali seeds at www.tradewindsfruit.com and the germination success has been quite good. Now, after my fatalis started fruiting I noticed that half of them had a different color when ripe (I have 6 plants). Some of my Fatalis are yellow and the other half are...

I have one doubt, that may be cleared in this forum. Some of my larger plants produced quite well and then just turned yellow and died. No amount of epsom salt and other care could save them. They just gave up and died. Coincidentally, on those plants, I left the pods on the plant until they...

I was wondering... as you know everything tastes different depending on where it's grown. Many factors affect this: quality of soil, altitude, weather, etc. My main example is coffee. Coffee from the exact same kind of plant will taste completely different if raised in Ethiopia rather than...

Hello my friends! My plants have been acting out lately. It seems that after they fruit they start to turn yellow and lose vitality. Could this be related to nutrients? What should I give them after they have been fully harvested? It seems that I am going through problem after problem...

Once again I turn to my expert friends at THP. I have been wondering how do you guys blend big amounts of hot sauce? DO you use a special industrial blender, or just do a lot of small batches and then combine? I am currently using a BlendTec Conossieur for this, but at 64 ounce batches it...

I have some problems with an unkwont type of bug. They are not really that small, about the size of a small spider. They are black, six legged insects that have little spikes on their backs. They tend to concentrate in groups on places where the stems divide. Tehy also seem to be looked...

Ok, here's the deal. A couple of days ago, the gardener that works in the offices I work at discovered a huge chiltepe tree. The thing is about 9 feet high in the highest branch. This tree is like no other chiltepe tree I have seen. It is full of life and loaded with tiny fiery black pods...

Ok... Im going to come out with some sauces and am in the process of working out the front and back label. So, here is my first draft and any opinions are welcome. Nutritional information is false of course...

I love to use lime juice in my sauces. I do have the problem that it tends to make my sauces bitter if time passes. Does anyone have this same problem and how do you solve it? If I have it right it is because the juice oxidizes. Correct me if Im wrong. Thanks!!

What is the biggest pepper plant you have come across? This sunday I made another discovery in a lime grove in my family's plantation. In between the lime trees there was the biggest pepper plant I have ever seen. That thing was taller than I am (1.78 meters) and had hundreds of the little...

Quick question: what brand, type or model heated seed propagator do you recommend? I need to improve my germination success here. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
