Just received my new dehydrator my family got me for Father's Day/Birthday. They let me pick it out. :cool: It's the 10 tray G4U model with timer and temp control. Supposed to be comparable to the Excalibur but with better temp control and less $$. Has a clear blank piece you can remove any...

Made a couple videos showing how I make my 5 gallon bucket deep water culture hydroponic systems. The basic design is simple and cheap and a good way to get started in hydroponics without spending a lot of money. There are lots of these type videos out there but here's my version. Enjoy...

I have been blessed with a constant supply of fresh pods all winter. I harvested all the ripe pods from my plants today as I am looking forward to planting them in the garden beds soon and I want them focus more on vegetative growth rather than trying to ripen pods. I picked over 2 pounds of...

I have enough pods for 1 or 2 small flat rate boxes. The varieties will be Yellow 7 pod, Fatali, Jamaican Hot Chocolate, Cumari ou Passarinho, and whatever else I find ripe. Cost: $15 and includes shipping. After first person commits by posting here, I'll harvest and see if there's...

I usually don't cook anything that is worthy of posting but thought I'd share this. Turned out really nice. The fresh Bhut flavor was a perfect compliment and the heat was nice but not overwhelming. Here are the ingredients, you already know what they are. :) Sliced up the bhut and placed...

I have had some seeds germinate very quickly and others in the same environment go slowly or not at all. I've seen others post similar comments so, I know I'm not alone in this. I have a heat mat set up in the house to provide a fairly steady heat of about 83F to 87F. Most times the seeds...

I usually mix up my own soil mixes. Seems to take way too much time shoveling and mixing to get it all mixed together. I looked at buying a cement mixer. $300 for a 3.5 cubic foot mixer. Too much money and too little capacity. Found a 55 gal barrel with a removable lid, some scrap sheet...

I'm sure most of you know a little about the flooding going on. Here's a link with some info: http://www.thehotpepper.com/topic/19587-awesome-chilli-auctions/ This the auction going currently for Australia only: http://www.thehotpepper.com/topic/19645-awesome-chilli-auction-1/ I sent a PM...

I received a pod this Summer labeled Big Bang Naga. It was about the size and shape of a small Bhut Jolokia but had smooth skin. I saved the seed from it and now have a few plants going. Just wondering the origin and if I should expect it to grow true or if it was likely a F1 or F2 hybrid...

2010 was my first season of growing anything other than the common jalapenos, serranos, etc. I have big plans for 2011. I'll try to document it here. There are so many top rate gardeners and photographers here that this will pale in comparison. I have some random pics posted here from...

I cut back all my plants in anticipation of a freeze and didn't bother to strip all the green pods. Was cleaning up the garden a bit today and lots of those pods have ripened. Hate to let them go to waste, so, if anyone would like a sampler pack for the cost of postage just chime in. I have 5...

Picked a few pods today (I sure am gonna miss summer :( ). If anyone has something interesting to trade I can ship Monday morning. The pods are Yellow 7 pods, Fatali, Jamaican Hot chocolate, Big Sun hab, and some smallish Bhut Jolokia pods. My wish list for seeds includes Harold's St Bart...

This plant has been producing normal colored pods all season. Recently the immature pods are purple colored but only on the south facing side of the pods. Doubt if I'll get to see what happens as they ripen as frost is likely here soon. Anyone seen this before? I'm guessing either caused by...

My first post on here (or any forum....). I've browsed many of the topics and feel like I already know many of you from reading all the posts. Lots of fun and expertise here. I am relatively new to pepper growing. I have done business with Neil at THSC and Beth at Peppermania. Great folks...
