Depending on the amount of plants you want to grow you get chioces of 250W-1kW of lighting power (there is MH bulbs of up to 3kW power but thats insane, and the cost is too around 300$ or so for a bulb). Metal Halide is probably what you are after however Experiment over att chillisgalore.co.uk...

Hm, weren't there a thread a while back questioning the difference between all these Bhuts, Bihs, nagas etc. I would assume that they are strains of the same pepper thereby making it impossible to say that anything isn't true because there is no true. The dorset for example if I'm correct is...

A common and functional but rather inefficient method is the twig in water method. I have cloned a couple of pepper plants that way and found that roots seem to appear after 2-3weeks if the stem is kept submerged and in the dark. I use a piece of cardboard to fixate the branch and then a rubber...

Hmm if the bird pepper is in fact tabasco then most likely it is not Annum but Frutescens. Also try looking in on thechileman database and you might find a lot more information than you need on those varieties listed. And thus the East Carribian Tabasco ought to be frutescens as well if we...

Yeah I too thought that the thread might be about what to put in a DWC or similar, :dance: or :high:...

Awesome! I just received my seeds from Pepperlover and I am really pleased both with packaging and also the fast that I received three gift packs. I got free Dorset Naga, Choc Bhut and Sweet Cayenne about ten seeds of each variety as opposed to the twenty you get in the paid for packs. Seeds...

I seem to remember somewhere that there had been a study on which flourescent bulb produced the best results when growing plants. And if my memory is correct the answer was cheapo 840 lights, that is 4000K or cool white standard flourescent bulbs. I used 6500K CFL's last year and had good...

Hi PepperLover, stopped by your site a couple of times this week and decided to place an order. However your system do not add in the 5$ for international shipping. When I check out I get the option of something called standard shipping for 13$ or so and free shipping with USPS. I did not...

Why get rid of your HPS? Its more efficent lumens/watt and also you wont lose any money in the transition? The dollars you'd lose on buiyng new equipment ought to cover your electrical bills right? A MH bulb whould probably be a better buy than CFL's as they are also a bit more effective than...

I have to plant supposed to be tabascos going. One of them set a few pods in early july which turned red during the weekend. The pods are dark green on the plant and though these are not many of the pods are rather crinkly. Tastewise I did not try eating one of them as my tolerence level is far...

Are there any other C. Chinense which ripens green->black->red ? If not then crossing with say a Goats Weed (C. Annum) would be a viable way to get peppers that show Chinense traits along with black pods. So although most of the plant seems Chinense chances might be that it is a AnnumXChinense mix.

First off, Im from Sweden so I can´t say that I know all that much about the climate in Florida. However I do know that you grow lots of citrus fruit in florida and thus need to have a climate not to dissimilar to that of the mediterranean sea. That leads me to belive that you can start seeds...

With peppers no as there is no correlation between sinking/floating and seed viability. The best way to test seed viability given that you have a somewhat large stock of said seed is to do a test germination of 10 or so seeds. This will give you a idea of the probability that a seed said stock...

Thank you, though I am pretty sure that the plants are C.Frutescens my proof being that their leaves and stem are dissimilar to the annums that I am growing and also that the flowers are light green instead of white as you can see in the first pic. So there might be a chance that the peppers...

Hi, this is my first post here but I have been reading along all since around feb when it was seed starting time. I´m from Sweden and are currently growing a small number of chile plants on my south facing balcony. After a steaming hot july with temps around 35C (up on the balcony that is)...
