Haven't been on here in a while due to my last season growing my plants were so prolific that I haven't grown the last 2 seasons. This year I'm growing a few Tombstone Ghost Peppers and a couple Hatch chillies, first time growing either variety. I grow in the double 5 gallon style and have been...

I was wondering if it is ok to combine nutrients when I feed the plants. I do a 3 week program and on weeks when the plants get 3 different ingredients, the plants get about 1 1/2 gallons of water over a 3 day period. I have had great success in the past but want to try a different way this...

Came home today and was checking on the plants and discovered this on my uber productive 7-pod primo machine. Some of the leaves( under the shadecloth ???) have turned a blackish/purple  and most of them have the white pods you see in the photos. Lots of small whitish, knat like things in the...

First time growing 7-pod Primos and it's almost time     

Just  an fyi that Pepper Fest in Pinellis Park is on April 25/26 this year. Gonna go and see what they have to offer this year. Anybody been to this event before?

First wave of plants have been in the ground for about 3 weeks now.  They're from about 3''-6'' in height now. Gonna start them on the same fert regime that I used last year starting this week. I am noticing some leaf tear/ possible chewing signs and was wondering if it was safe to give a spray...

Great results and still have my second wave of plants filling up with pods. Dehydrated 8 trays of a Ghost x( don't know what they are but they're still HOT!!)  And this is a small bucket of orange habs, red habs and more of the ghost x I picked today  My 2 peach ghost plants are full of pods...

1st time growing these and want to make sure this purplish color is ok on a growing pod.  Plant is in the ground, no special mixes of soil or anything like that. My fertilization schedule is...   Weekly    Miracle Grow Tomato Food   Bi-Weekly   Epsom Salt or Cal-Mag   Every 3rd Wk   Fish...

Gonna try a Carolina Reaper in a container on my patio and have a question for you folks. I've seen folks on here using pine bark in with their soil mixture and was wondering if you mix it up in the soil or are you putting a layer ( 2-3 inches) on the bottom of the container to help with...

Have had a problem with something boring holes in my peppers and found this when I harvested some bhuts this morning. They were in a fold/crease on the bottom side of the pod. It looks like there was also some form of ''web'' material with them. They kinda look lika a centipede with pinchers on...

Kinda late notice but I just heard on the radio that the Pin Pk Pepper Fest is this weekend in Pin Pk if any of you Central Fl. folks are interested....

Labeled it as a red habanero and had this pod that just stood out to me. Looked a little closer at the leaves today and they have that "waviness" on the edges like a bhut. Don't know what this is, but the plant is loaded 

Is this a common situation? All my plants are healthy and full of pods, but everyday I come home to find pods on the ground( both small pods and larger ones).Think I read somewhere that these could be un-pollinated and the plant is ditching them. If this is normal, is there anything I should be...

Found these 2 pods on one of my bhuts today,hope that they are sacrificial pods and nothing more serious. I guess a shower with Thuricide or soapy water couldn't hurt. And another thing, are the pods on bhuts more sensitive to falling off the plant than other peppers, seems if I barely touch one...

Saw a recent thread about using coffee grinds so I've got my wife saving hers for me. Question is, how to use them? Mix in the soil? Place on top of soil around plants and water in? Mix with soil on my second wave of plants? (still a couple of weeks away)  Columbian or special blends( couldn't...

Howdy folks, 1st post since joining and I need some advice from the longtime growers. Was just outside checking the plants( a habit since finding a hornworm last year) and found a worm on two plants( Habaneros that are about 20 ft apart). They are both now stains on my fence and I really don't...

Just joined and wanted to introduce myself. Live just outside of Tampa and this will be my second attempt with pepper growing, had a successful last year with jalapenos, habaneros and Hot Thai. This year I've got some bhuts, 7pods ,butch t's ,Carolina reapers and 3 different habaneros going(...
