Hi there, fine folks of THP :-D       Is there any consensus or past experience you could contribute on what peppers go best with what kind of booze?   I was thinking:   - Rum - Scotch Bonnet  or any other caribean pepper (wild ass guess here :D) - Gin - ? - Whiskey - ? - Vodka - ?   what did...

Hi there,   not sure if I should post this here or over at the "fun" forum :D   I want to infuse booze - and seem to fail on the first inch into this project  :shh:     I need to get the damn pourer off the glass bottle !!!!         dont get me wrong - I can always use brute force, but it...

Hi there,   luckily, AACT is already an established fact here in THP forum ...   I would like to expand this openess to Fermented Plant Extracts (FPE's).     Here is a very basic primer on the topic (sorry for some kindergarden-talk (and resulting inprecissions) - but I really want that people...

say, you got a pepper that matures in red ... when is it ripe?   once it turned completely red?   a few days after it turned completely red?   when are pods at its prime?   thx, Al

Ok folks,    it seems that the sweet peppers get little love here on the THP forum ...   my WAG is that its that many of those are poor producers (been there, done that ... babying a plant to get 2 miserable undersized sweet peppers in a year aint gonna cut it :D)   we need to change this ....  ...

down here, they are called "chanchito de tierra" (soil-piggies)           I understand that technically they aint insects, but crustacios ... but I dont care, I hate their guts ...   they are not very articulate (physically that is) ... so is there a way to impede that they climb my pepper...

Hi folks,   as you can see, our house has quite an extensive roof (about 53 x 30 ft) with very little inclination.          So, the other day I was thinking about why not using this space for something productive ... an ebb-and-flood system with dutch buckets ...   just you can imagine what I...

Hi there,   a couple of months ago, I purchased a smallish envelope with scotch bonnet seeds (note to self: never again buy pepper-seeds in a growshop :D)   well, one of the plants was always kind of suspect ... spoke with a weired accent, more of a carribean english than a scotch one  etc...

Hi there,   I just wanted to show a few pics about moving a Scotch Bonnet joungster over from soil to a dutch bucket.   first of all - what is a dutch bucket?       I guess its fairly evident ... basically its a bucket with a spout just a few inches above the bottom ... its used for...

Hi there,   I am doing a ghetto-dutch-bucket system (something like this...(those are borrowed pics))           I use perlite contained within a wal-m*art bag in the bucket as medium.   to make it really "ghetto", I will initially irrigate manually (by manually pouring the nutrient solution...

Hi there,   I decided to give a ghetto ebb-and-flow setup (dutch basket) a chance.   I might even skip the pump for the time being and water manually 3-4 times a day (its probably just going to be some 4-5 buckets - so quite managable).   I understand that all nute's have to be provided by the...

What are you growing and why? - Indigo Rose (purple tomato AND supposedly very tasty- need I say more?)     - Ildy (highly prolific and tasty yellow cherry tomatoes)     - Stupice (gold standard for early tomato - can go for 6 months with fruit)     - San Marzano (longish shaped - good...

Hi there folks,   I recently bought some seabird guano (right from the horse's mouth, as its being forrested in the north of chile) and here is the analysis ...               there are 2 aspects that strike me as odd given its 2-15-2 nature:   first:  the very low N value ... thats ok with me...

Hi there, Would it be of interest to have a taste profile of dunno the 50 most popular types of peppers? I am not talking about spiciness - I am talking about qualitative aspects... Sorry to be unable to help @ this stage due to lack of experience. Al

Hi there, a couple of weeks ago (5-6 weeks) I put some passion-fruit seeds into trays. I completely forgot about them and here is whats germ'd ... I have NO IDEA if this are seedlings from passion fruit (passiflora edulis) or some generic weed :D could someone help me out ID'ing those...

just a heads up for mycos (one of many here on the forum) I potted seedlings up about 4-5 weeks ago ... today I decided to let 2 of them go into soil ... I was really surprised about the quantity of roots they put out in such a short time (iirc, i only managed to water them 3 times in the pot)...

hi there, I have a 5 x 1 yard patch WITHIN my house which is soil. We have some tomatoes, peppers and var. herbs there. However, everything I plant there sooner or later gets the lice and tons of it ... this makes me think that they are probably somewhere in the soil as well (in a panic...

hi there, Given the overall utility of myco, i wonder if its possible to "expand" the commercial (rather expensive) product one way or the other ... I can get just one sort of myco down here, and its like pharmacy pricing ($$$ for very little). here a pic of the local product (straw just for...

hi there, I have a Q.: a 2-1-3 fert is the same as a 20-10-30 fert if I dillute the latter in 10 times the water, right? why do those "weak" ferts exist then, if I can get one 10 times as concentrated for nearly the same price ... .... or am I missing something here? thx Al
