I am thinking about replacing the old T5 Bulb fixture that I have on one set of shelves with some sort of LED fixture. The shelf is 4' wide by 1' 8" deep. Looking for good coverage. Any experts out there that know what I should be looking for? Much appreciated.

Jumping right to the garden. I started everything late this year. Getting good results in my containers. Here is one section of containers. All of these plants were small plants coming out of the gate on May 15th. They are filling up nicely. One of my Pink Biquinho's Love the...

So, this Aji Golden was not getting a ton of light in my basement and it ended up getting some variagation. New growth at the bottom is not variagated. But all growth at the top of the plant is. Since this is environmental, I could probably assume seeds will not have the same traits, correct?

anyone grow the Clavo Red before?  I had some old seeds laying around that I had gotten from an old seed train and one germinated.  The pods are like 1-1.5" long in a pendant shape.  They seem to grow purple and then ripen to red.  The weird thing that I am seeing is that once they turn red, the...

I could have sworn I saw someone post something about this but I cannot find the post.  Does anyone make your own yellow sticky traps?  I believe you can purchase the items to make your own.  I would be interested in how people are doing this if any.   Thanks!

Some time has gone by and I am thinking I might be in the clear.  I am not 100% sure, but to this date, I have not seen any signs of bad pepper virus' or even bugs for that matter so I am going to attempt  to start a glog and hope for the best.   Today, I started potting up my baccatums and some...

Beef Tenderloin was on sale this week so I thought I would give it a try on the Weber using the Rotisserie.  I butchered it up and put the roast and the head on the spit.  I used a chunk of Hickory along with the coals in my Slow N Sear.   I seasoned with some Hey Grill Hey Beef Rub and added...

Anyone selling?

Hello all,   I have noticed that a few of my plants have new growth where the leaves are very tightly curled.  I thought that might have been due to spider mites in the past, but I just don't see that pest anywhere right now.  Any thoughts?  I am wondering if I should just top off the new...

Hello all, gotta quick question for you.  I had put some Sri Lanka Chile Red pods in a bowl and let them dry out naturally.  I did nothing to them, just let them sit in a bowl at room temp for a period of time and they all dried out.  But, some seem off colored and I wonder if it is because of...

Getting to the point where I will start seedlings for 2020.  Still finalizing seed lists.  I need to buy some new lights this year.    I have brought inside the following plants that I grew in containers with plans to overwinter:   Amarillear 7 Pot Bubblegum White Aji Charapita Bhut Jolokia Red...

Hello all,   I have moved 6 or so potted pepper plants indoors in an attempt to over winter them.  So far, all I have done is put them under lights and water them a little.  The soil in the pots is currently the same they had been growing in all last season, regular Miracle Grow Potting Soil. ...

Hello all,   I recently had a conversation with a friend who said that Epsom Salts, when applied to the soil as opposed to a foliar spray, will help the amino acids that produce the capsaicin oil in hot peppers.  I haven't heard of a connection between Epsom Salts and Capsaicin production...

Hello all,   I have always had this pest in my garden somewhat.  It seems this year it is affecting more plants than usual.  The pest seems to attack just the leaves.  Here is a pic from 3 different leaves at various parts of the garden:     Any thoughts as to what causes this?  Thanks!

Hello all,   I had gotten seeds for this plant from a local Korean BBQ joint I visited.  It was late in the season and the plant had a bunch of dried red pendant pods on it.  I took a pod thinking it was a Super Chile.  It had that look and feel to me.  Anyways, I germinated a seed and got a...

Just got an email that the Chile Goddess is hanging up her tiara over at Cross Country Nurseries aka chileplants.com.  There are only two more weeks to order plants before they close up shop.  Order up while you can.

I was thinking about possibly taking a year off.   Last year was my best year growing but the pepper maggots turned me off so much that I lost interest and left way too many peppers on the plants.  I can't let this happen again.    All this talk about the Sri Lanka Chili Red in the growdown for...

A couple of years ago, I grew a Mustard Hab plant next to a bunch of frutescens pepper plants.  I had saved seeds from a couple of pods from the Mustard Hab plant.  This year I grew a few seeds out and some of the plants look like Mustard Habs but one plant is a frutescens.  The pods are growing...

With NJ moving closer and closer to legalizing marijuana, I was wondering if anyone here has any recommendations for sites similar to this on growing weed.  I know next to nothing about it, am looking at it only as a hobbyist, no ideas where to get seeds, etc.  Thanks in advance!

Hello.  I posted about this in my glog but it doesn't get alot of updates so I figured I would post here as well.    I saw these on a CAP691 that I still have in a small container.  The plants have been outside for awhile now.  Looks like insect eggs of some sort.     Here is a slightly...
