So my mom's chilis (grown from my seeds) had a bunch of seed caps, but they fell off on their own) and I see today one of her plants has 3 cotyledon leaves!! This is a non-hybrid Thai chili plant. Will plants grown from the seeds of this plant have a higher chance of following in its mother's...

Ahh I remember about a year ago when I began my first grow, it was 5 Thai chili plants, which are doing quite dandy indoors and with no fertilizer. This year, I'm starting 2 Super Chili plants and one just sprouted a root, the seeds courtesy of @Phil (I believe). Hope this year goes well!

My first chili is red should I take it off? Edit: I am asking because I heard if you don't pick off red chillies they can cause the plant to die because the plant is thinking "I have fulfilled my purpose in life, I have fully mature offspring ready to go. Goodbye world!" Edit 2: I just chopped...

I recently pollinated 2 mature flowers with a cotton swab and today I saw that the flowers fell from both buds but the stigma remains? Is this a sign of pollination?

If I start out seedling in a grow box with a fan that cools and simulates a breeze and I have the lights off during the night. When the last frost is over, how should I harden them? My last frost isn't until late April to early May.

These are my three week old seedlings the smallest is two weeks old and after cutting back on water they have exploded in growth. Do I need anything based on this picture?

Hi, I have four seedlings and all of them have a very light green tip that curls ever so slightly upwards or downward or both on the same plant. It's been sunny and hot as Hell but in the afternoon VERY RAINY. I bring them out in the morning and water and after school (-7 hrs) I water them...

I made a post about how my seedlings (no true leaves yet) are purplish in the leaves. How can I tell if they start getting burned and since they grow outside with 4 seedlings in one pot in direct sunlight all day, how much should I water them? P.s. They are almost 2 weeks olds and one is almost...

Hi, I'm new to this site. I have recently sprouted some hot chilies, they are from dried chillies from South Asia and are short and red, so to simulate the optimum growing conditions in Canada I keep them warm in direct sunlight outside and recently noticed them turning purple in the leaves. I...
