So. Our county fair is in town and I decided to enter my Butch T's in just for the heck of it. I didn't figure I would win anything. I just thought it would be cool to display them with the rest of the produce. It was my first few ripe ones of the year and they were a little small as it is still...

Well. Here we go again. Last year I had ordered seeds from Asias Garden off of eBay and they ended up being crosses at best. Oh well, you live and you learn. Thanks to all the people here who helped me get on my way last year. I learned pretty much everything from this site and people were very...

I ordered seeds from Asiasgarden earlier this year. Some Bhuts are red and odd shaped for a bhut as they are kind of small. This one plant I have been getting ripe pods this orange color. This one is fully ripe now. What is the deal? Any ideas? I will post pics of the other ripe ones later...

Almost overnight my pods started ripening. I'm giddy like a schoolgirl! :dance: Bhut Jolokia- I have varying pod shapes from the same pack of seeds. Here is one. All the pods on this plant are fairly good sized: Yet another variation. Most of the pods on this plant are medium sized and...

We may have a chilihead in training here. She wanted to eat a bhut but I figured it would be best if she started with a jalapeno. I don't think she is quite ready for the leap yet. She did very well with the jalapeno though considering it was her first hot pepper ever. I told her if she picked...

I am starting to get some peppers setting. I've had a bit of flower drop recently but I haven't got too stressed about it. I figure it's gonna happen. Today though there was quite a few piles along side of some of my plants. The heat index is like 104 today. It is extremely hot and humid today...

I was checking out my plants tonight and noticed this huge bug! Is this an aphid?! What if I get hundreds of them?! Seriously though. After I took this picture I noticed those black spots on the underside of the leaf. The top of the leaf looks normal however. Is this something I should be...

I was checking out my plants tonight and noticed this little guy hiding in there. My first baby bhut jolokia! My first born. :woohoo: Sorry bout the over excitement. It's just really cool to see my first pepper pop after spending so much time growing these over the past few months.

I was just shopping in my local grocery store and saw some orange habs and a few of them in the basket had tails? I never saw any like that in the store before. They looked like crap otherwise so I didn't want to buy one to see if it was hotter than a normal hab. I just thought it was neat. Here...

I went and bought some of this stuff. Is it any good? I'm still trying to figure out what I saw on my plant but I'm sure I don't want it there.

I saw this little prick on one of my bhuts today. I have noticed some leaves curling under on two of my plants. Could this be what is causing it? I have saw some other peoples pics of spider mite damage and they just didn't look like that. I was just hoping it was the heat that was causing it...

I may have got a little gun shy on overwatering. I don't want to underwater and leave for work on a hot day to come back and find my plants dead. I know you have to factor in the different variables, but what is the normal amount to water your plants when they are in 5 gallon buckets each time...

I just found this locally on craigslist. This year I had just used two T12 shop lights to start my 20 plants until they went outside. I thought for the right price I could pick this up for next year. Maybe offer 80 bucks? Any thoughts? http://fargo.craigslist.org/ele/2382874028.html

Today I had my plants outside hardening off. They have been out sporadically lately when it has been warm but the weather in MN has been up and down the past couple weeks. I think it may be looking up from here on out. I think today they may have got a little wind/sunburn. I'm not going to make...

I have been pinching buds on my plants for the past couple weeks now. They are in the hardening off process and I just potted up to their final homes. For the pinchers out there... when should I stop pinching now? Here is the size they are. Hopefully they will be going outside permanently within...

Since I am away at work from 7:30 am until about 6 pm I am pondering how I am going to do this hardening off process. Lately when it has been nice out I have been taking them outside for a half hour when I get home from work but by then the sun is not very strong anymore. I'm just not going to...

I noticed some black spots on a couple of my plants. One has holes in the edge and a few black spots. I checked for creatures and didn't see any. I have sprayed them a couple times with epsom salts and noticed it leaves some residue in spots. I wonder if spraying them and then putting them under...

I am growing in 5 gallon buckets this year and was wondering how many holes to drill in the bottom and what size? Any in the sides perhaps? Also, to get proper drainage, do they need to be propped up on a couple bricks or something? Here's what I got.

Are some of these ready to be potted up? These are in 8 oz cups. The very small ones are some Habaneros I just started. I know one user said to wait until they get a couple sets of true leaves. They are still in seed starting mix and I will be getting some ProMix BX tomorrow. Is it worth it...

Does anybody use this stuff? I was sent a couple small bottles of Aquashield for free when I ordered some pro grow, bloom, and cal mag. What I got out of it is that its used for transplanting. I couldn't find a whole lot online about it. Even the manufacturers site wasn't all that in depth. When...
