Is an oscillating fan aimed at the plants good enough to pollinate the flowers? It should be there anyway because airflow is an issue indoors, but do I still need to go through and manually pollinate every flower? How good is pollinating by wind?   If you need any details about my grow setup...

I have a pound total of peppers. Mostly jalapenos with some bhut jolokias. I also have some sourdough hooch laying around and I'd like to try my hand at a ferment. Anyone got a recipe/instructions they'd like to give me? I've read the sanitation and fermenting threads so I think I know what I'm...

Hey all,   No idea why this is happening. It's most pronounced on my MoA bonnets since they're crinkly by nature.   I'm getting some pretty drastic leaf curl on most of my plants. My theory is that the fan on them is too strong and is evaporating water from the leaves really fast, causing them...

My Red Savina is a tricot! It's my first and I don't know how rare it is but I think it's awesome. Reminds me of a great song by Oscar Pettiford.   Enjoy your double dose of tricotism for the day, THP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoH48Yyuwy4

Anyone got any tips? When it dries out completely, sphagnum peat is an absolute pain in the rear to get wet! I have to soak my cups/pots/whatever for several hours to get the water to wick into the entire thing. How can I get peat to soak up water more quickly?

SciurusDoomus's Guide to Sharp Knives   I haven't seen a post like this on THP and I think everyone should know how to keep their knives sharp without ruining the knife or themselves financially.This is a long post, you've been warned.     Why you need to throw away your wedge grinder:   When...

Hey everyone, this'll be my first glog. I'm starting my babies in a dorm closet like I always do but I hope to give them a big yard to grow in by the summer. We'll see!   Anyway I planted the seeds yesterday night after getting back from spring break. (3/16/14)   http://imgur.com/XJ0uQho   From...

If anyone's seen my thread recently, my Bhut Jolokia's gone through (and is still going through) a really rough patch.   I want to get at least one harvest out of it before it goes, but after it's gone it's time to start anew. I'm a container grower for the most part as I don't own any land...

Read that Fe is unavailable to plants with a soil pH above ~6.8 I checked mine and it's around the mid 7s. I added lots of bloodmeal and some white vinegar to change the soil pH. Sound like a legit tactic? I already tried adding N and Mg to fight the chlorosis but nothing worked. The leaves are...

http://imgur.com/phPP6c9   Dammit! Tried uploading with my webcam right from YouTube and the video failed to process...   No video I guess!   THE REVIEW:   The Pod: Externally these pods are pretty gnarly. They're about the length of a pinky finger and very wrinkled. Mean looking. Cutting it...

Probably the most helpful nute deficiency/overdose guide I came across in hours of web-scouring.   http://www.hydroponics.net/learn/nutrient_deficiencies.asp   Hope it helps somebody!

I know there's the 7 Pot Bubblegum on about F4 or F5, but what other ongoing stabilization projects are there? I'd be interested in getting a piece of the action if anyone's got any seeds they want to spread and have stabilized.

Just had my first superhot. I've had GSH and some dried/powdered superhots but today I split a Bhut Jolokia with my friend. (I ate the seed half.)   Hoo boy, do I get it. After I stopped crying and moaning and snotting I felt great! Also, nobody ever told me how good Bhuts taste. Tangy, smoky...

Goal:   I grow in my dorm room closet with a 400W HPS bulb. It's great because I can control everything that goes on in the small space with my Raspberry Pi, but it's also a really small space that limits me to two plants at the moment. I have a Bhut Jolokia and a jalapeno sharing the space...

Bhut Jolokia, about 6" tall, fifth node has emerged. I want to top it after the second node (remove nodes 3, 4, and 5), but is the plant old enough to take it?

I grew my first plant thinking it was a Bhut Jolokia. When the pods came out smooth and small, I figured they must be a jalapeno since the guy I got the seed from had both kinds. I figured I messed up which container was which. Now, however, I'm not so sure I have a jalapeno... The pods start...

Sorry about the poor quality. Best I could get on my phone. http://imgur.com/8h5Yuxs http://imgur.com/rHE0Zif

Got a bunch of seeds this summer from people on THP (thanks guys!) and from a couple of online seedbanks. I now have enough where I can choose which I'll grow next season. Unfortunately, they all sound like such good choices that I need a little help deciding! The peppers that get chosen will be...

Does anybody have any experience with changing flavor by picking at different times? What about picking a fruit green and letting it go red/orange/yellow/whatever off the vine? Do flavor changes, if they happen, happen differently for different fruits?   I know that jalapenos get a lot sweeter...

http://chilibase.info/identificeer.aspx   It's not perfect, especially for hybrids and things like that but it's great if you're new and just getting to figure out the difference between a Bhut and a Douglah.
