    Light bulb question

    You will need a way to circulate air and maintain the temperature. These bulbs generate a lot of heat. I tried to run these and a Mh with my setup 2 years ago. Switched them off. Too much electricity consumption and too much heat.

    Where the plant is located, there is no chance of uprooting it and potting it for over winter but there is a pepper plant next to it which my dad has done 2 years of overwintering on. I will get him to do the same thing with this one.   I cut open one of the red peppers on this, it is just as...

    Awesome, cheers for the information guys!   Most, if not all the dried peppers, will be going into powders and flakes.   If I wanted to infuse them with alcohol and oil, do I do it with fresh pods? I have a bottle of smirnof vodka with two 7 nagas and a yellow bhut in there. I was told it will...

      Now you can understand just how shocked I was when I saw it go from green to VERY light patchy orange now a solid brown. Its a really heavy pod

    new grower from Australia and some sprouts up

    Hey dude, welcome! I'm also from Australia. I hope you are from the warmer parts, if you are in NSW, Vic, SA, it might be a little too late to start unless you've got the indoor space! Good luck!

    Help me plan dinner

    Cal mag would be extremely unnecessary unless you are growing in coco and none of your provide calcium or magnesium. Id hit them with another very weak feed of kelp juice. Over here I use seasol. Seaweed solution. Its not a fert but a stimulant. Great stuff.

    preservation Air drying and dehydrator.

    Cheers for the reply guys.   I think I'm gonna need a dehydrator. The air here is far too moist, the weather is humid and its been raining on and off. I've had to throw out a few of my peppers as they have grown mold.   I do need to collect the seeds, not from all of them but I do want some of...

      The plant gave off about 6 red pods, now its got 2 browns, a couple green and yes that red is on the same plant and that is my single isolated plant!   You can feel the difference in the pod too. The red ones are a much thinner, lighter pod. This brown pod is dense. Its heavy. You can't...

    preservation Air drying and dehydrator.

    Hi guys, hope this the right section but just need couple questions answered:   When air drying, I mean hanging outside in the sun, do you cut the peppers open and deseed them? Or do you leave them as whole closed pods? I've got some hanging as closed whole pods and some deseeded. Ive had two of...

    Sarge's 2013 - Sydney, Some extreme variations!

    Taste pretty good. I'm nervous about having a whole one so I had a slice. The smell is like every other super hot, it taste sweet for a couple seconds, just like capsicum, but its brutal. I'm very new to consuming superhots and with my unhappy gut, I gotta build my self up to be able to down a...

    Sarge's 2013 - Sydney, Some extreme variations!

    So true megamoo, in RE to your statement about growth in pots. I had 12 plants in pots. I transferred them all to soil as they looked like rubbish compared to the soil plants. They are thriving now.       Not this season dude, when the seeds arrived I tried a brown moruga in hydro(fastest way to...

    I was meant to shoot you a pm. I ordered about 8 batches from overseas all came except for yours. I didn't receive a letter from customs either :( I believe they may have been lost in post. About two weeks ago I got a chap to send me a bunch of tomato and organic butch t seeds and they came...

    A little update here.   Some textual stuff first. I've harvested now about 40 aji lemon pods off the plant. Those things are great. They just keep producing and producing! Weather over here has been nice and mild. Alot of pods have set now with cooler temps but we had a few scorcher days which...

    Flower loss in Australia

    First flowers don't always make it in my experience. Throw heat into the mix and its bad. I think the 30s may help with pod growth and development but not setting. Anything 35c plus I believe is detrimental to growth. Sydney got bashed with 39c for days and days. Lots of flower drop even had...

    Fungus Gnats Are Killing Me!!!

    You are absolutely right. The hydrogen peroxide will kill all the living bacteria and what not in thr soil. Good or bad. But I assume these are seedlings and if thats thr case they won't be in this soil for much longer. I only used the stuff for the early stages when the plants were in seedling...

    Fungus Gnats Are Killing Me!!!

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with h2o2. Its just water with an extra oxygen atom which will bind it self to larvae and destroy their bodies. I've used it and it has been the solution.
