Hey thp community. I've been in the shadows for some time. Sorry about that. Still growing and this season the pants have problems.   A "quick" summary to get you all up to speed- I'm in zone 6 Sowed seeds in February with heat mats and t8's. Once established when they needed water I watered...

Just curious if the buckeye pepper company is still around. I havent used then in a couple/few years now but always had good experience using them.

I came across this article in a pizza mag. Sounds insane!   https://www.pmq.com/indiana-pizzeria-grants-a-death-wish-pizza-to-pepper-pickers/?utm_source=Master+Subscriber+List&utm_campaign=948e17ac77-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_07_24_06_23_COPY_02&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_3666347a3d-948e17ac77-59117029

I set out to increase the ambient heat  by supplementing with a space heater directed at the propagation level in the grow stand. Possibly to much of a good thing, I left the heater on high and forgot and after 6 hrs I realized and shut it off. Granted I'm using an inferred thermometer that...

Im looking for ideas on a way to get supplimental heating to my growlight stand. The seedlings germinate on heat mat but the air temp is pretty cold. I have success but looking for better results. The plants grow slowly and often have purple tinged leaves. Suggestions ? Thanks in advance.

Is this a serrano plant? I didnt think they had silvery leaves, fuzzy stems.

This past weekend I processed a mash that was fermented then aged for two years in the refrigerator. The look was bright and fresh, no mold, ect. It was cooked for 15 minutes, blended, then cooked another 20 minutes, then bottles. It's getting good reviews on taste but not so good on aroma.   Is...

Progression of chiles under T8 lights. Since these pics, I've moved most outside into an unheated greenhouse. I'll follow up with some more Photos soon.   The larger plants were sown at the very end of January and put on a heat mat        

I'm ashamed to admit I've never heard of a Hatch chile. I've since learned that Hatch is where they're grown and by most www info I've gathered the variety is an "anaheim" type chile.   So, I ask you professional chile heads what's your favorite seed stock to get me close?   Some years back I...

I never heard about this technique. The attached link is easy to follow with great photos. I'm going to give it a go.     https://growingfoodsavingseeds.blogspot.com/2016/06/gluing-chilli-flowers-way-to-save-pure.html

I believe this monster came from seed from a YELLOW 7 I saved from last years grow. Possible it's from my red naglah's that I've been saving for 2 seasons. I have to go back and check the marker.   Either way this pepper is ferocious, The heat had the Reaper delay and after a minute I had some...

I finally made time to take a few pics of some of my potted chili peppers. The oldest OW reapers took a long time to break dormancy this year but they are fully leafed out now and are podding up. A very cool additin to this seasons grow are the first pods from a non pheno yellow 7. Seeds from...

Necessity is the mother of invention. I had hundreds of aphids on  my two month old seedlings growing inside and had to do something. I regularly spray with homemade insecticide which helps a little but can never really get  the undersides of leaves well.   So I mix up a gallon of the homemade...

About 10-12 days ago I needed to take serious action to help my plants. I'm an experienced grower (so I thought) and little problems here and there usually work themselves out. Not this time. Trying to diagnose problems by way of visually ID'ing leaves certainly is agreat start but somewhat...

I don't have this light but I trust AM Leonard's. I wanted to share with THP community. Seems like a good light/price   http://www.amleo.com/mini-sunburst-mh-with-lamp/p/VP-SBM/

Tried my hand at making some infused salt. Very basic but excellent. So easy to make,   I took about 3/4 t of my freshly ground reaper powder, added a few drops of spring water, and a couple dashes of liquid smoke, Stir up to make a paste. Add the chili paste to about 1/4 C of sea salt. Stir...

A  heavy late August harvest from my 3rd season Carolina Reaper plants. Overwhelmed with heat!    

I'm very excited with these peppers. I saved seeds from last seasons red nagalah plant primarily because of productivity. It was grown closest to Yellow 7's, Brainstrains, and jolokia. This seasons plants are producing these big heavy blistering gnarly pods some with stiger tails. I'm going to...

I Can't say enough about how pleased I am about Over-Wintering. Thanks to THP community with the free flowing advise. It's such a great way to get a jump on the season, I highly recommend trying it. It's a perfect fit with the annual plantings of chiles by extending the season by close to two...

I haven't made it yet but seems like a good fit for us in THP community.   Shakshuka with Red Peppers and Cumin Recipe | Epicurious.com
