Hello THP friends! First off, Ive missed yall! Been awhile since Ive been on here between career changes, moves, etc. but youll be happy to hear Ive continued to grow 2 or 3 plants each year. This year though, I have encountered a problem that in my several years of growing I have never run...

I have a Jalapeno plant that is entering its third year now.  While it was inside this winter I had a nasty aphid infestation that required I trim most of the leaves off, and the few that remained have unfortunately fallen prey as well and have since fallen off.  My plan was to put the Jalapeno...

Figured I'd post this on here since it's bout time to start planning for the 2015 season (which I should probably start doing soon).  My favorite website is having another sale on iPower grow lights and equipment,  last time they had this sale I bought a 600w HPS/MH system complete with fixture...

This is another recipe I found online on a site that found the recipe on another site.  I certainly wouldn't call them atomic...or buffalo...or turds for that matter...but that's the name they were given so they shall remain atomic buffalo turds.  Enjoy!  :party:     12 fresh jalapeno peppers...

This recipe is a cream cheese-based dip that is essentially a deconstructed jalapeno popper.  This is not my own recipe; I found it online a few years ago but I can't remember exactly where I found it.  I usually make it on Sundays for the football game and it's always a huge hit!  I've never...

As I was doing my final harvest and preparing to bring some plants in back in October, I noticed one of the plants that I assumed was a fatalii had finally produced a pod.  The plant was a leftover seedling I planted in a small container a few weeks after I brought everything outside for the...

Another pod review!  I sampled a mustard ghost picked from Bowers and Jim was going to have a really gnarly peach ghost.  Unfortunately a few peppers I picked were beginning to rot inside, so it took us awhile to find him a pepper.  I think it's a red barrackpore?  If anyone knows what it is for...

Hello fellow pepperheads!  I'm back with another review video, this time Jim and I take on the Jamaican Hot Chocolate habanero.  Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4lCHBG4hxc&list=UUk_XAfwvxpfcgNXuOq1QmQA 

I heard somewhere that certain types of peppers overwinterbetter than others/produce better in their 2nd or third years. For example, I've heard c. annuums Ow well and produce well in their 2nd and 3rd years, while c. chinense typically do the best in their first year (haven't heard anything...

I was browsing the forums and came across a link to the Bowers Chile Pepper Festival this year, and it looks awesome!  This will be my first ever pepper festival and I literally cannot contain my excitement!  :dance:  :woohoo:  :dance:   So who all is going this year? Would love to meet some of...

Hello fellow pepper heads!  I finally got around to doing some minor editing and uploading of my first ever video pod review!  Todays pepper is the 7 Pot Yellow.  Before this video, none of us had ever had anything close to this kind of heat (did I mention this was a group review?).  Overall is...

Once again I was on one of my favorite sites called woot, this week they are selling portable greenhouses for what appears to be a good price.  Are they worth getting at this price, or would it be better/more cost effective if I were to make my own?  I have no experience whatsoever with...

I frequent a site known as woot.com, I just found out that today until 8/11 they are selling all sorts of bat guano for what appears to be a decent price.  I personally don't have a need (or space) for large quantities of guano at the moment, but I figured I'd share this with everyone in case...

Today I was perusing the interwebs and found a rather extensive ranking of a lot of different peppers and their scoville rating. I'm not sure exactly how accurate it all is but I'm sure it's accurate enough to give you a basic idea of how hot a pepper is.  Figured I'd share it with y'all!  ...

This year I have four plants that I overwintered from last year: Jalapeno, Serrano, Habanero, and Cayenne.  This year the Jalapeno and Serrano stayed in their 3.8gal containers, while the Cayenne and Habanero got upgraded to the raised bed I just made earlier this year. The good news is the...

It's that wonderful time of year again, I finally have my first ripe pod!  This year's beauty is a yellow fatalii, roughly as long as my middle finger and slightly thicker.  The question is what should I do with it?  I'm tempted to just eat it straight since I've never had a fatalii, therefore I...

For those of you that don't know, this is only my second year growing hot peppers; before I started growing them last year I had always had an affinity for trying to find the hottest hot sauces but never had much experience with just straight fresh pods.  Last year the hottest pepper I grew was...

About a month ago I brought my overwintered plants (Habanero, cayenne, serrano, and jalapeno) outside for the summer.  The serrano and jalapeno are staying in the 3.8gal pots they were in last year and all winter.  The leaves on the jalapeno had some kind of crazy discoloration going on so I...

Last year was my first year growing peppers (or anything, for that matter).  Very rarely I would fertilize my plants, more so towards the later part of the season when they needed more calcium to prevent BER.  Because it was my first year I was also very cautious as to what type and how much...

Yesterday I was helping my friend plant some peppers outside and when we walked over to the bed (which hadn't been weeded for quite some time) he showed me this enormous weed. Here is a closer view of the top of the plant with what appears to be its seeds?   Does anyone have any idea what kind...
