    tutorial The Comprehensive Guide to Over-Wintering

    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...

    tutorial The Comprehensive Guide to Over-Wintering

    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 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...

    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.

    Which pepper to grow in TX

    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...

    Which pepper to grow in TX

    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?

    Which pepper to grow in TX

    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...
