Hello, I'm Maligator and I'm a pepper head. It's been 1 hour since my last pepper...it seems my hubris got the better of me yesterday... So there I was enjoying a wonderful dinner and I decided to accompany said dinner with a few of my hotter peppers...so first came the primo red, little warm...

After I planted up to the red solo cups I used some fish/seaweed liquid fertilizer and a couple days later noticed some fungus starting to grow on the surface. I added cinnamon to the suface soil which solved the problem. Now to the question: should I remove that top layer of soil with the...

Just curious to know what was the age of the oldest seeds that you successfully germinated and how did you store them? Been away from the game for a bit. I still have seeds from 2010 that I got from the Hippie Seed company in addition to some Primo seeds from the source that I packed in baggies...

Well, in the past few weeks I have tried a bunch of different superhots from a couple different sources. I have to say that so far my favorite is the Naga Morich. I have tried: Red Bhut, Yellow Bhut, Chocolate Bhut, Bih Jolokia, Fatalii, Naga Morich, TS Morouga blend, regular TS and the Peach...

So I went to the grocery store today to pick up a few items and got STICKER SHOCK! It seems that over here in my neck of the woods Red Jalapeños are selling for a whopping $9.99 per pound :crazy: and Habeneros are selling for $8.99 a pound :shocked: I actually asked the store stockers and they...

:idea: I was walking the dogs today and got to thinking about pepper heat and the things I had read about which conditions lend themselves to hotter pods. This lead me to wonder if there was an appreciable difference in the heat of pods grown in containers versus the ground. My thinking was...

:woohoo: Was just out back moving my plants out of the sun as they are still being hardened off and what do my eyes see? Ladybugs EVERYWHERE! All over my plum tree and also on some of the pepper plants! Very happy to see that! :D

To those of you that container grow your peppers outside...how do you bottom water them? Do you even continue that once they are placed outside? I plan on putting a couple of the peppers in the ground but the vast majority will remain in 5 gallon planters. Advice???

Well, I figured I should probably begin an online growlog. I have been keeping a personal grow log in MS Word but it's time to share my adventure with those of you that have helped make it an easier task. I would also like to thank those of you that have been so keen to answer questions and...

That is the question. Since this is my first year growing peppers I kind of went on the overly cautious side and planted like 3 or 4 seeds per section in the seedling trays. Well now they have begun to sprout and there are 3-4 sprouts per spot. Is it possible to tease them apart when it comes...

Like the title says, I'm looking for a good Hot and Sour soup recipie. It's one of my favorites when I go out to a Chinese restaraunt and I figured I'd ask around and see if anyone had a favorite recipie to share. TIA

Bear with me as this is my first year growing peppers, or anything really for that matter. So I have been using a seedling heating mat under my lil guys and put them in a grow tent a few days ago. I finally put a themometer/humidity indicator in there yesterday. Well, ambient temp was 81.5F with...

I ordered a grow tent from Amazon.com. It arrived today...w/o instructions! :rolleyes: Got it put together anyways but was kind of a PITA since it's rather large and I didn't have any assistance. It's dimensions are 4' x 4' x 6.5'...

Ok, so I've been wondering if there was a list out there that chronicals the associated flavors to each type of hot pepper? I haven't located any such list and thought this might be the best place to garner such information. When reading my grow list you might come to understand that I have...

Welp...I looked at my seed germination trays tonight and to my surprise I already had two seedlings sprouted! One was a Bhut Jolokia and the other was a Carribean Red Savina. I am a proud parent ;) It has only been eight days so I wasn't really expecting anything that fast. So...now I need to...

Ok, so I know it's a little late as I have already begun my seedling grow process but...I was wondering what pepper varieties were good choices for a newbie planter? I really do enjoy the exquisite pain/taste associated with a good hot pepper. I understand that some peppers are harder to grow...

Hello all, Just a quick note to introduce myself. Live in the Pacific Northwest. Have to grow in pots and bring em in during the winters it seems. This is my first year trying to grow hot pepper plants from seeds. I enjoy super hot peppers but also like the other varieties to add distinct...
