I'm curious if this will be able to measure capsaicin content, would be pretty cool! :) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/903107259/scio-your-sixth-sense-a-pocket-molecular-sensor-fo/description

  Unfortunately this is my first season trying the method!

This is the only isolation method I've used, and had fairly good success. I'd say about 25% of the pollinated/sealed flowers dropped, but most would fruit for me.

Save us some seeds! I wonder if it will be passed on to the next generation? Even if it's undesirable, still a neat novelty trait.

Waiting... waiting... waiting...    Lots of peppers, but nothing will ripen! My Aji Limon plant is just bursting with full-size pods and I'm getting impatient! I've already eaten a few!   Also pretty excited for my reapers to turn... I noticed this plant is much more sensitive to heat than my...

  Things in my first grow are going well! I finally transferred all my plants outdoors, and they are loving the sun!   I will have open-pollinated seeds for Prik Chi Faa, Mulato, Black Pearl, Aji Limon, and Carolina Reaper ... only ones that are not doing well are the Datils. Lots of small pods...

I love the pod shape on these things. Some cool looking peppers!   You've got quite a few plants going! I'm jealous!    This is my first year and I've got a single reaper plant, 3 aji limon, 3 datils, a black pearl, a mulato, and a prik chi faa. My datils are the only ones that seem to be...

Awesome! I'm excited and nervous to try my first pod once mine start to ripen!! What else do you have planted?

Here she is now! Doing well, despite cool overnight temps starting already  :confused:   I'm noticing lots of variation in pod shape. I hear this is typical, especially in the first round of pods?  

Ok, JutsFL, I'll admit I'm a little jealous :P   Nice plants!

I'm curious if it's just a picky plant and wanted better conditions, or whether they normally take longer than most to fruit?

Finally, after months of watching this plant drop every single flower it put out, she's starting to put out a few pods! Originally put these seeds in Jiffy Pellets in October. All my plants were growing indoors until the start of July, when I moved into a house that has a yard (and a garden). I...

Definitely looks like a deficiency, but seems a little early for that, no? Is your soil holding moisture very well? pH ok?   Not really sure what to tell you, but here's my plant that had a calcium problem when I first started. Looks similar  

I'm afraid we're going to have to amputate... 

  First off, great picture! Thanks for sharing!   Would you mind quickly elaborating on the pros/cons you find with rockwool?

  I'm assuming I got some old pellets, or that I didn't properly water them, but my first grow in Jiffy Pellets would have benefited from this procedure. I did everything I could to saturate the pellets when setting up my tray for planting, but some of them would not seem to unpack completely...

  I've done this, and it seemed to work fine. My girlfriend had some scrapbooking glue that was acid-free, so I used that... not sure it would matter if you used normal glue or not.    I just waited until the flower looked like it was about to open, then covered the tip of the flower in glue and...

I'd love to get in on the next round!

Find a hydro or gardening store. I was in the same position as you, looking all over for cheap fixtures and 6500K bulbs. No one had what I needed in T5s, much less T5HO. I paid $24 for the first bulb I found... at the pet store. It was 6500K designed for aquatic plants... so I picked one up in...

  Haven't managed to completely get rid of them, but after getting your comment and doing a bit of googling, I've decided that they are definitely thrips. Luckily they don't seem to be thriving, and my plants remain relatively healthy despite their presence. Anything I can do besides soap spray?
