    Anyone else growing battery acid Butch Ts?

    So I finally got fruit off my Butch Ts that I have been coddling for 2 seasons now, and it appears that I have been blessed with the "battery acid" phenotype that was going around a couple seasons ago. Anyone else have this experience? I'm pretty bummed out that I spent this much time on two...

    misc What to feed ladybugs besides aphids?

    I'm trying my hand at raising some ladybugs. I purchased 1000 online and released about 600-700 on my garden of 16 containers over the past week. My aphid problem is under control now, the ladybugs that are still around and their larvae are chowing down on the remaining aphids. This leaves me...

    Not Peruvian white hab...

    So obviously this isn't the white hab that I thought it was but any guesses? I thought it may be bulgarian carrot, but its ripening to red so that one is out.

    Stems too small?

    I have a few super hots growing this year where the stems are disproportionately smaller than the rest of the plants. I have had a fan on them since they popped and have had it set to keep the leaf canopy swaying 24/7 for 3 months, but the stems haven't gotten any bigger. Does anyone know of...

    Hot Pepper Max ?

    Has anyone used this stuff? http://www.hydroponics.co.uk/Clearance-Sale(1)/Clearance-Sale/Hot-Pepper-Max Seems like it seals the pores on plants so they can't transpire and thereby dry out as fast. The guy at my hydro store tried to sell me a litre for real cheap once he heard I was growing...

    nutrients Hydro nutes strength

    I'm just wondering if everyone uses their hydro nutes to the recommended strength on the bottle or a weaker solution? I have a couple overwintered scotch bonnets and a bunch of small super hots that I started late last season in Pro-Mix HP being fed with Advanced nutrients new 3 part. Since the...

    nutrients Advanced nutrients PH perfect

    Does anyone have any experience with the new advanced nutrient formulations? They are now chelated to allow nutrient absorption over a wide PH range, they even go so far as to say its no longer necessary to monitor the PH of your reservoir. I always hated having to adjust PH every day, I'm...

    misc Freezing ladybugs?

    I am wondering if anyone has frozen ladybugs from the end of one season (now) for use for the next season (spring)? I have tons of ladybugs around my place due to the high number of aphids on the native trees, so I'm wondering if i could just capture them and freeze them until i need them in the...

    seeds Interesting way to boost temps for germination

    I have had a hard time getting super hots to germinate. Probably because I was trying to get them to germinate at room temp. I was about to break down and buy a heating mat when I thought I'd try putting the seeds (in paper towels which are in sandwich baggies) next to the exhaust from my deep...

    Lazy man chicken wings

    I was in a rush today and I came up with this, its kinda cheating, but with so little prep time its great. take 1/4-1/2 tsp of red 7 pod powder and add it to 1 1/2 cups of franks buffalo sauce. Add to this 2 cloves of minced garlic and let the mixture sit as long as it takes your grill to heat...

    Best pepper for paprika?

    I just realized I use paprika a lot in my cooking, and I think I can squeeze in one more pot on my balcony next year. So I'd like to know what y'alls favourite pepper is to grow for paprika. I'll need one that's high yielding and container friendly. An early pepper would be ideal, but I bring in...

    whisky in the jar-o

    hi, i am thinking of making my first fermented pepper sauce, but I am also wondering if putting whisky in the mash would affect the fermentation, mainly by killing off the microbes needed to ferment properly. Should I put the whisky in with my mashed peppers and then boil it to rid the mixture...

    misc Canadian Ladybug suppliers?

    Saw a couple aphids on my plants today, and its pretty unlikely they will be the last this year. Does anyone have a Canadian source for ladybug/beetles or other insects that will eat aphids? all a google search turns up is like 1500 from amazon for 100$, I've only got 6 plants so that seems...
