    baccatum Why does my Aji White Fantasy hate what I’m doing?

    I’m truly at a loss. It’ll be ok for a few hours or even days then go back to looking like this: I’ve dried it out. I’ve given it a deep soak. I tried not fertilizing for three weeks. I fertilized weekly. It had something eat one of its leaves so I relocated a spider and it’s now pest free...

    contest Off season grow off?

    I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in doing an indoor grow off over the winter without use of lights, just for fun. Pepper of choice would be Grandpa's Siberian Home aka Siberian Home, Grandpa's Home, Grandpa's Siberian etc etc. It's small and good in pots and doesn't require a lot of...

    dehydrators What dehydration equipment does everyone have?

    Currently I dry everything in my toaster oven but I'm not entirely sure I want to do that with peppers. Generally I don't love buying one purpose only appliances so I'm seeing what's out there. I see some air fryers have dehydrating modes, same with instant pots (I don't own either at the moment...

    plant Sims mystery plant thread

    Hey everyone! As most of you know, I got a bag of mystery seeds this year. I ended up keeping 8 of them. One finally has enough pods for me to start taking stabs at an ID, so without anything further, mystery pepper 1! Our first mystery pepper was the first to germinate out of all and is not a...

    health Where should I top this beast?

    Neighbours visiting dog for scale, along with the cup (green for Baccatum in my system) I’m at a loss. It can’t really stand up by itself so it’s getting topped but I can’t decide if I should leave three leaves or four!!

    misc Do plants care about getting their light all at once?

    I finally took a peek at when the new electricity usage peak rates are and they've changed slightly for my area. Off peak is 19h-7h (7-7 for 12 hour clock users), mid peak from 11h-17h (11-5) and peak is from 7h-11h and 17h-19h. If I give them the full 18 hours but split between the 12 hr block...

    favorite What do you think is the prettiest pepper?

    Looks only, both pepper and plant. I'd say of the varieties I know of, Fish peppers are the prettiest but I want to see what everyone considers a good looking aesthetically pleasing pepper!

    Simcows non-pepper grows 2023

    THP, meet Simcoe. Her back spots are like a cow, and that's why I'm Simcows! Why is Simcoe my lead image? Because last year's garden ended up being just for her... the weather here was so hot and all my veg went to bolt early or was tough immediately that none of the humans wanted to eat it...

    Canada -> EU/UK (and beyond) seed buy

    Thought I'd start my own thread so this doesn't take over Mark V's Glog. I'll be going to the UK via Germany at the end of March in to early April, and happy to take seeds that are more difficult to find in Europe with me. I'm doing this above board, meaning that I am going to get a...

    Parrot+ Pepper Glog 2023

    This will be my first big foray in to pepper growing because of these two. Jasper (left) and Tin Tin (right) are my official taste testers. I myself have a fairly poor spice tolerance, tabasco is spicy for me but frank's red hot isn't so I'm working on it! The rest of my family have tolerance...

    Another day, another welcome

    Hi everyone. I've grown some unknown variety numbing only Chinese peppers in the past but this is my first year full blown. My finger slipped and I bought a fair few mystery packs so now I'm dealing with the issue of what to sow, what to keep, and how many plants I have pre emptive homes for...
