    TXCG 2017

      I absolutely loved the chupetinhos I grew last year, they make the best pickled peppers ever IMO. Also I was under the impression that the biquinho is the no heat version of the chupetinho but you say yours were hot? I know they are supposed to be pretty similar just one hot one not so I'm...

    TXCG 2017

    Last year I planted 4 chiltepins with the idea of having them become permanent since they are native to this area and I'm happy to report 4 out of 4 survived the winter in ground with no help from me.    This is what they looked like in early March when they started waking up:        After...

    Pod shape best suited for hot weather extremes?

    Chiltepins thrive in hot arid climates and they have tiny leaves and tiny pods. They are drought tolerant, produce pods in 100+ deg heat and even survive the winter here which typically has 12 or less days of freezing temps with lows reaching upper 20s. They require almost no care and are often...

    contest VOTE! Soup n Sammie Throwdown

    I wish I could vote twice because D3monic's cheeseteak looked phenomenal and those homemade buns were on point.     JayT was very close third too because for the pho by itself because holy crap. If this was soup only that would have got my vote in a heartbeat. Sandwich just wasn't my thing but...

    Pendant pequin pods?

    I've seen a pequin or two in my day and all the ones I've ever seen have had the fruit pointing upright. This is first one I've ever seen that has pods are pendant.    Any idea if there is a varitey of pequin that is supposed to have pendant pods or is this one a bit of a freak?     Edit: There...

    LG V20 is gonna be sick. I have a V10 now I upgraded to from the galaxy S4 and I love it. Cameras on the LG phones are incredible. You won't be disappointed with the S7 either though it's a great phone.

    Candied habs cut in strips & dipped halfway in dark chocolate are awesome. Also if you heat the leftover syrup up to hard candy stage you can turn it into suckers and stuff. Syrup seems like it absorbs most of the heat too so those are HOT.

    Wanting to try out Ceramic Metal Halide (CMH/LEC)

      I've had an indoor grow with 400w hps before and it was pretty easy to manage temps using a tent. I just used a cheap walmart round desktop fan taped onto some ducting to blow cold air through the cool tube reflector and it kept the glass cool enough to touch. Never used an HID light without...

    Ever since I saw one of these at the local hydro shop I've been interested in purchasing one once the price came down a bit. If you are unaware of what a ceramic metal halide is it is very similar to regular metal halide lights except it uses ceramic instead of quarts allowing it to operate at...

    Bio dynamic grapes grown in alignment with the moon and stars.

    I saw this sign at Central Market grocery store here in Austin earlier and couldn't believe this lol. When organic just isn't organic enough apparently there is super organic. "Grown in alignment with the moon and stars."   Pls don't California my Texas.
