For the past few years my life has taken a shift towards being a caregiver and I have had some setbacks with my small operation - including my original large greenhouse toppling a couple winters ago. As a result, I have had less greenhouse space to work with, and less time, so I have had to turn...

So, according to a number of recent news articles a company called "Clickstop" has bought out the Pepper Joe's business and the owners have put their 19 year old son in charge of the operation:   http://www.prweb.com/releases/2017/08/prweb14613022.htm...

Hey folks,   So I've been pretty quiet over this last year compared to past years. Much of my personal life took a negative turn last year in April when, within the space of two weeks, my longest relationship came to a crashing halt and then my closest friend passed away.   Last summer I also...

The title says it all, but I'll throw in a picture I posted on social media just to make it a bit more flashy..     .. Hope you're all having some very yummy food! :D  

Hey folks,   So I'm starting to find I somehow mislabeled some of my plants along the way, but this one plant doesn't quite seem to match any particular seeds I planted.   There are three varieties I planted this year that are in the running for what I think it could be, but it doesn't quite fit...

  Hey folks, it has been three years and a day that have passed since I first signed up as a member here and in that time I've had so many fine members of this forum help me out with advice, answers, suggestions and seeds. As time has passed I've worked hard to constantly keep learning about...

After two years or more my other grow log was starting to feel cluttered, so I figured it was time to start fresh. :)   Sadly, of the 60+ plants I had this past year only one (Orange Bhut Jolokia) seems to be semi-alright and one other (Devil's Horns) is just barely hanging on. Between work...

Hey folks,   Although many of the labels for the plants I've grown this year have faded, I kept a detailed list of what I've grown so I can deduce what each of them are... Except this one. This plant is around two years old at this point and didn't produce any pods at all last year. I got the...

According to the description in the video this dude had attended a chili festival before the fight..   WARNING: There's an Ewwwwwwwwww factor to this video. lol     ( credit: found the link posted on the "Jackass" Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/jackass/posts/10153298125720753 )

Hey folks,   As with many of the varieties I am growing this year, this is my first growing Cherio Roxa and I'm not quite sure how to tell when the pods are matured. Of the photos & descriptions I've seen they are supposed to go from a dark purple to a light beige/pink. I have three of these...

Hey folks, as many of you know and have seen from my glog and posts I have been working hard to learn, research and work towards launching my own pepper business up here in Canada.   At this point, I am now facing some hurdles that I'm having a tough time overcoming, financially, that are time...

It isn't too long of an article, but the folks over at "I f!@%ing love science" just brought attention to peppers, Capsaicin and why it does what it does and how milk can help:   http://www.iflscience.com/brain/why-does-chilli-burn-and-why-does-milk-help-soothe-pain   :)

I don't think I've ever started a topic here in the Lounge, but this is a pretty funky find:   http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2656082/What-colour-YOU-Dizzying-optical-illusion-creates-different-shade-viewer-no-one-knows-why.html   .. An optical illusion that makes many people see...

  So tonight I, sadly, had to go through with the decision to top at least half of my plants in the hopes of cutting back on the aphids that have gotten out of hand in my grow room. After all the trimming and the daily watering, I was looking over my Brown Naglah - my largest plant - and I...

  This past week I picked up three different packs of hot peppers at a local supermarket. Two packs are labeled "Ghost Peppers" and the third "Trinidad Scorpions". With each pack they through in one or two extra varieties. The company website indicates a very small list of types they...

  I'm fairly certain my 2nd largest Cayenne plant has become infected with something.. For the longest time the pods were looking great - perfectly healthy - but then after a bout where the red aphids got out of control many of the pods just seem to drop off the plant when they're half grown or...

Hey folks,   As mentioned in other topics I have posted on (i.e. my glog), my Naga's are flowering, but not yet producing. And at this point they're getting pretty top-heavy, rather than filling out up the length of their stems.   On the top they're really stretching out and the leaves are...

Hey folks,   I recently brought up this issue over on my glog, but I could use a bit more input from the masses.   Recently, I finally was able to build a grow space down in our basement, but the humidity only seems to reach around 42-50% humidity and I generally keep the temperature pretty...

Since I just started learning about peppers and taking a real interest in growing plants as of this past Spring/Summer I've certainly stumbled over a lot of hurdles in that time.   Well in the past couple weeks, since I finally got an HPS light set up, I started to realize that it wouldn't be...

I got a new follower on my Twitter account tonight and being curious (as I tend to be) I took a quick glance at their account to see if they might be worth following back (when it comes to my pepper-related account that generally means someone who posts primarily about hot pepper & the like).  ...
