Hi everyone   A bit of a weird case here, I've got a new setup with a single chinense growing in a DWC bucket. It's about 15 weeks old now, at 12 weeks Ive switched to the bloom nutes but have not a single flower yet. Otherwise it seems pretty healthy, I have to regularly prune it so it stays...

Hey everyone   Ive been using this identical setup and method to grow chillies without problems for ages, but something is up with this tomato. I suspect possibly too much light but the light is already a lot further away than with any chillies ive grown, also the nutes I'm using are 9-3-6 which...

Hey everyone   I'm attempting to get these arabica coffee cuttings to root but no luck so far. It's been just over 7 weeks - i pulled a few cuttings just to check, there is a bulge on the bottom but no roots. The cuttings are pushing out new leaves (the smaller leaves are all new, they weren't...

Hi everyone   I've come across this statement a few times now (on reddit though, so I've been taking it with a grain of salt) that if your plant has inconsistently shaped pods on the same plant, it must be "unstable".   I thought the following was true, however I'm now starting to doubt myself...

I've had a few runs at this in the past few years, but now finally I think I've got it sorted. Got some new leaves coming through on two initial plants, so while clearing the rest of my chillies for winter I've picked out the thickest ones and have added them in.   There are: 2 Reapers (the...

Havent looked under these leaves for a few days, just noticed a bunch of aphids, but also quite a lot of aphids that are yellow or even looks like they've hatched Aphidius.   Just wanted to confirm whether these indeed look like they've been dealt to by the wasps, so I can leave them be and...

Admin: we have a separate thread for this, but it's 56 pages long already. I have over 30+ crosses to review in the next few weeks (45 plants, most have pods) so i figured I'll spam the hell out of the main thread with this, instead I'm hoping it'll be ok for me to log everything in this post...

Hey everyone   Some of my peppers are getting this type of leaf curl happening - this is the worst one at the moment.   I've just recently sprayed them all with lime sulphur suspecting mites, seems to have worked, but at the same time in the past 2 weeks it started curling like this. I have...

Unless this is common and just I haven't encountered this yet.   These plants are indoor, I've had a bit of an aphid problem but have introduced a bunch of Aphidius wasps http://www.bioforce.co.nz/products/Aphidius.html sort them out, so far so good.   In the last week I've been finding these...

Hi guys   My indoor DWC plants are all doing well, starting to tie up pods, I just noticed this on my Beni Highlands plant. No other plants have it. Any suggestions on what this could be would be greatly appreciated.   The first pic sort of looks like edema, but the other ones look a lot worse...

Hi guys   I have 10 DWC peppers in my greenhouse, the temperatures are between 15C (60F) and 30C (85F). Humidity is over 90% at night and is about 55-60% at day time.   They get plenty of sun, and I run my budget grow LEDs for about 6 hours at night to help out with reduced light hours. All DWC...

Hi everyone   Hard to see from these pics but my Moruga plant has just started developing this brown/yellow stuff on top of some of the biggest leaves (nothing underneath). Its prominent enough to notice and I decided not to wait too long before asking. The plant itself looks pretty healthy (its...

Hi guys   This season I've grown a bit too many peppers than I expected and am now thinking of heading off to the local farmers markets.   I have been trying to work out what would be reasonable pricing and how is it best to sell them. Here are a few ideas I had, if anyone else has any...

Originally I used an 8 yearold laptop to monitor the temperature in my greenhouse and am still using STC-1000 temp controller to regulate heat/cooling, but now I decided to step it up a notch and try use Raspberry Pi 2.   I've looked around and it seems that http://www.raspiviv.com/ is the most...

Hi there fellow growers.   Can anyone suggest a good way to disinfect a greenhouse and all my DWC equipment? I'm clearing everything out of the greenhouse in about a month's time and want to sterilise the hell out of everything. This winter I had a bad outbreak of mites, and want to make sure I...

This year I've started a whole bunch of seedlings about mid June, then some more in July and August: Reaper Choc Brazilian Ghost Red Moruga 7 Pod Douglah Peach 7 Pod Devil's Heart Devil's Brain Peach Hab Defcon 7 7 Pod Primo Dorset Naga Aji Pineapple Aji Habanero Aji Verde Hot Beads Also...

Hi everyone   My Peach 7 Pod got a few new leaves which are pretty distorted - from what I managed to find on here it looks like it could be fert overdose, does that look about right? The plants are healthy as hell but I did have a mites outbreak nearby in the greenhouse and have since then got...

I've had a few pods in the past which were conjoined i.e. two pods grow off one stem.   But never have I had two stems of a seedling  grow together, and they are actually joined together, except they split off at the top as two separate plants. This would've definitely been a single seed as this...

Hi everyone   I'd really appreciate some help selecting the right soil for the next growing season. Here is the table that I have to select from:     Some details around where/how I'm growing: 30L growbags Outdoors Will have the plants outside from early October but still expecting a bit of...

Last season I attempted a few crosses - one of them was the one that I was really hoping would work out where I used a Reaper flower and added pollen of a NuMex Twilight flower.   The pod set, although it ended up being about 1/4 size of a normal reaper and only had 1 seed in it (and another...
