Not sure what's goin' on in my garden anymore, these habs are just freaky. (click for larger image) :-) /pb

Thanks for all the nice comments. I'll try and answer some questions... I live in Sardinia, Italy, where I'm spoiled with fairly good capsicum weather. I use a Nikon D90 to take the pics, and this year I invested in a flash umbrella, which I used for all black background still lifes. I use...

Punta Giallo? Is it possible that the Punta Giallo is in fact a Pointed Yellow Habanero (chiliman.org)? I'm just wondering because: 1 - The chiliman has an entry for Punta Giallo but 0 info for it. 2 - Punta Giallo does mean both "point" and "yellow". 3 - My Pointed Yellow Habanero looks just...

Man, whatever it is it sure deserves to be punished! I think I've had similar damage (but less) done by earwigs. But to be sure you might have to sneak up on them after midnight, when they crawl out to do their evil. /pb

Oh yah, how's this for multi-cotelydons! Ok, ok, it's not a chili :-)

Ok, thanks all for your input. My conclusion is that I've been waiting too long in the past. Right now the first true leaf pairs are just barely appearing, but I have about 5-8 rootlets poking out all over the place on each pellet already, so tomorrow I'm getting busy. In the past I waited...

Hi all, I was just wondering if any of you use any particular rule of thumb for deciding when to put your Jiffys in pots. Do you look for a certain number of leaves, a certain height, or a certain quantity of root filaments sticking out of the bottom and sides? I figure there must be a "too...

(Disclaimer: I'm no expert :-) I've had this happen in about one out of every 100 seeds. I find that sometimes the stemlet just dries up and dies, but sometimes the tip of the stem splits in two to become the cots, as if what it was supposed to do in the seed it did later out of the seed. I've...

That sticky stuff on the leaves is their excrement, another sign of aphids. Also, aphids don't just suck the life out of plants they're also capable of transmitting diseases. I don't find aphid problems to be *that* bad because at least they're visible and they can't run or fly away. Before...

Thanks! I just (mistakenly) assumed that the purpling-leaf effect was only possible with high wattage CFLs. Little did I know it could happen with normal fluoro tubes. Live and learn! Now that I see your nice results I realize that I foolishly spend $ on CFLage. Namely 2 x 200W + 2 x 125W...

Only one word comes to mind: wow! Quality & quantity happily coexisting :-) Out of curiosity, who are your major seed suppliers? Also, I'd be interested in knowing more about your current and planned CFL setup for all that greenage. Cheers, /pb
