    Doc's Unexpected 2014 Glog - Pictures as requested

    Hey all!  I'm back!  (like a bad cold... ;) )   Hope all is well with everyone.  I haven't looked at anyone else's glogs yet, but I decided I'd go ahead and throw out what is going on here.   Some may remember we moved into a new pad last September.  Some may also remember that my grow last year...

    for-sale FEELER: Possible Pods for Sale -- On hold for now.

    Help me out here.  Some days SFRBs of pods get snatched up quickly.  Other days I see threads with good looking box contents closed because of a lack of interest, even though the prices are similar.  I'm thinking about selling a few SFRBs next week, but only if there is sufficient interest.  ...

    pests What Bug is This?

    Over the past couple of months I've seen these colonies of bugs on the underside of a few pepper leaves here and there.  Are these whiteflies or one of their instar stages?     The web-like material is like silk.   Thanks!

    A Couple of ID's

    I could use help identifying a couple of pepper varieties, although it might not be possible yet. Has anyone grown C. chacoense? I got some free seeds along with a purchase from pepperlover.com, "Most Prolific" chacoense. The description on her site is that it is a smallish plant. I got one...

    Royal Black, White Devil's Tongue, Rocotos

    A few quick questions if you all don't mind. I've included photos at the bottom: 1) Royal Black: Pictures I've seen of this plant show it to be essentially black. I have two of these growing. One is almost a foot tall, the other a bit shorter, but both are green. Do they require a lot of...

    Poblano Poppers!

    We're having a bunch of people over tomorrow for dinner, like 20, and I wanted to make a great appetizer. Thought of poppers, but wanted something larger than jalapenos. Found bags of Poblanos...perfect! Started with 16 Poblanos, stemmed and deseeded, then put them under the broiler for 10...

    Annuum vs. Chinense

    I am growing Trinidad PI281317 (C. chinense) from seed that I purchased from Pepperlover.com. I sowed seeds in both soil and Rapid Rooters. After culling, I have two plants, one from each medium. The plant growing from the Rapid Rooter looks like a chinense to me, but the one from soil looks...

    Not-Datil?

    I got some seeds from a forum member for Datils and the plant is just now making pods. Probably a stupid question, but do Datils start out round? I'm thinking this a Not-Datil. No worries, the seeds were free. It at least looks like a chinense. Thanks.

    Ajvar

    Stickman turned me on to this Serbian condiment called Ajvar. It sounded good so I had to try my hand at making it. I found a recipe online and went for it. This stuff is incredible. Its basically a roasted red bell pepper spread, and can be made spicy or not. 10 to 12 red bell peppers 6...

    Aji Dulce Leaf Crinkle

    I have three Aji Dulce plants and they all have crinkled new leaves/growth and the rest of the leaves have some curl. No other discoloration. I've seen no pests on the underside of the leaves and no lesions on the leaves. It is only my Aji Dulces. None of my other varieties demonstrate this...

    Hab Cross?

    My Wife picked up this plant at the store back in July. It was labelled "Habanero" and is NOT a Bonnie plant. It didn't set pods until fall, but the pods do not look like classic Habs to me. I can tell it at least is a chinense. None of the pods have ripened yet, so I don't know what color...

    cloning Cloning

    I gave cloning a try today. Cut the stems at an angle and dipped the ends in Clonex, then popped them into moistened Rapid Rooters. The incubator has a tall lid and they will be going under lights during the daytime. To those who know, are the cuttings trimmed properly? Any other tips?

    Mottle Virus?

    Does any one think this plant might be infected with a mottle virus? If not, any ideas? Most all of the leaves look like this: The plant: Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Do False Katydids (Phaneropterinae) Eat Pepper Plants?

    I haven't seen them near my pepper plants, but it seems they do eat leaves. I saw one on my screen door a few weeks ago and killed it. I had never seen one before and thought it was a locust, which I'd also never seen before. I just found another one tonight on the wall by the back porch...

    DocNrock's 2013 Glog - 7/11/13

    My 2013 grow officially began 10/14/2012, when seeds hit soil. After seeing Fernando (SocalChilehead) growing in his greenhouse "sanctuary" and KiNGDeNNiZ continuing to start new growth in his AeroGarden, as well as the community HP22B grow thread already being 8 pages, I broke down and started...

    seed-train EDIT: Any Interest in a Mixed Seed Train? Newbies? Established Growers?

    EDIT: I want to "pay it forward" in recognition of those who helped me. SocalChilehead, PaulG, Pepperlover, and OROZCONLECHE have been incredibly kind with gifted seeds and/or pods. I've also purchased outstanding pods from Biscgolf, Pepperlover, Coheed, Silver_Surfer, KiNGDeNNiA, Mtbrider...

    Did Anyone Watch Heat Seekers Last Night?

    That soup looked wicked! Looked like pepper soup with a bit of chicken broth and some noodles/veggies. One of you guys who eats whole pods should find that restaurant (Florida, I think) and try to score the $1000. Looked like it had been 130 challengers and no winners as of the show date...

    Light for desktop Chinese 5-color

    I have a Chinese 5-color on my desk at the office. Its about 8" tall and was just starting to bud when I took it in to work. My office has no windows and the overhead fluourescents are not very bright. That said, the buds have developed no further. I picked up a desk lamp and a 25 watt CFL...
