Not for me but to be honest, space was seriously crowded competing with my mother in laws plants at the window. Shes moving out so this winter I will have much more space to work with. If I had better placement for the window and focused all the lights with wide aluminium reflectors it would...
Stefan,
If the conditions are right a pepper plant will produce all year around. Last year I over wintered my container plants and did not make them go dormant since I did not need to dig them up or put them in smaller pots. I put it by a window and added a few CFL lights on timers hoping they...
I just thought I would share my experience over winter. I have a mature choc hab that stayed green all winter. I setup a simple area by a window that has 4 ordinary CFL lights directed at all my plants. The hab did not produce any peppers until early march.
During winter it's limbs grew longer...
Kewl! Yeah it was a very harsh summer but I over winterized my choc habanero and just pulled the first 3 peppers off it last week.What are you growing?
I ended up getting 5 habanero from my damaged plant. Three are fully ripe and two more are on the way. The plant is indoors by the window with a single CFL light and its become really healthy. I have recently changed my food to a better flowering mix so hopefully I can get it to start keeping...
zestfest looks like some good fun. I did not even know about that! Since its in DFW area I can most likely attend.
From looking at their website it seems thats its very chef-centric rather than grow-centric....still I'm interested in going.
Yeah I am just hoping to get my indoor plant producing soon and have my two cuttings healthy for next year. One thing is for sure...I learned a lot in my first habanero attempt. I may have to start using a CFL light soon. I'm not going to do anything too fancy just make sure it's near a full...
Torno, are your plants potted? If so, try re-potting them into a larger pot if you want a larger plant. If the pot size is not an issue...are you feeding it sufficiently ...or too much?
Devastating news here. I had a nice healthy choc congo hab plant with two + pods beginning to shape up nicely... then my two pups knocked the plant over while playing. The pot was shattered and all but one main stem was broken off.
I re-pot the one stemmed plant into a slightly larger pot (all...
Ok thanks. Yeah I ended up putting mine back outside. They get better sun and the temps have picked up. We had a few crazy fast rain storms that swept through. :/ plant got too much water recently and did not have any peppers last I checked. Ballgum I need to grab some of your food mix for the...
Myself and ballgum already talked but I wanted to update the thread. I am not sure what type soil I used but the food is 10-15-10 miracle grow if I remember. I am having trouble getting the plant full sunlight in my yard.
To make the sunlight problem worse, the low temperature forecast has been...
Hey guys, I'm a friend of ballgum and I have one of the extra choc habs he got from AJ (thanks AJ lol). Ballgums have begum peppering however mine have not. I did not feed mine very often as I did not want it to get too large. Right now it's a decent size and should be perfect for bringing it...
