So I said I'd conduct a comparative experiment to see which method of fermentation works best for me. I used 3 different starters: 2 powdered yogurt cultures (A & B) and whey. The first four contain no other vegetables and the jars + the mash were boiled for around twenty minutes. I added the...

hey all! i tried fermenting last year with the sourdough method and sad to say, it didn't work . i'm not sure what I did wrong. anyway, i harvested some cayennes, a few aji criolla sella and 2-3 jolokias this year and thought i'd give fermentation another shot in order to develop a system i know...

This year I started most of my seeds in rockwool and now they're in an ebb n' flow tray in 3" inch pots filled with hydroton. I don't really like they way they're looking compared to last year when I hand watered them in peat moss. I was wondering if I can use peat moss in an ebb n' flow system...

I'm planning on starting seeds soon in 4x4 tent on a 3x3 ebb and flow tray. I'm using 3x3 inch square pots. My initial plan was to fill as many pots in there as I can filled with peat moss/coco mixture and water by hand. If I use hydroton instead, can I keep the plants in there longer than I...

If there's enough of us on here, you guys wanna give it a shot? I've never done this before so I'm not really sure how it works but I'm assuming I'll make a list of people who are interested (name, address...), purchase a box from a post office, put whatever seeds I'm willing to trade in there...

Hey folks! I have a bunch of seeds I wanna trade. The seeds come from peppers I grew on my balcony (cross pollination likely happened). This thread is mostly for the Jolokias. The Habaneros are actually a mixture of Habaneros and Orange Scotch Bonnets. Since they have the same heat and color I...

I was away for 2 weeks and when i got back i was surprised to see how much they grew! I left them in the care of my brother who didnt do as good a job as i had hoped but with a little care they should bounce back to their former selves! they're in 1.5 gallon pots with peat, coco coir, and i feed...

hey guys i just bought a thing of bone meal but now i'm starting to doubt whether it works well for peppers/tomatoes. it probably does but until someone with experience tells me it does i know it's gonna eat me up inside lol thanks!

I bought a mixed pack from a produce store and all it said was "Jamaican Peppers". I separated them according to shape/size/color and I think I have three different types. Can anyone identify them? Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone has a good method for measuring peat pH (I use pro mix + coco coir). My tap water is around pH 7. I ran it through a sample of my mix and I measured the pH of the run off, it was still 7. I was wondering if this is an accurate measure of my actual pH. Also, what pH...

Newbie Llog 2010 - 10+ varieties & others This is my first season growing outdoors. I discovered the joy of growing peppers sometime last year when I decided to get my dad the hottest hot sauce I can find. After discovering the many varieties of extra hot peppers I decided to give growing my...

This is my first time posting here and I'm glad I found this forum. There seems to be a lot of people here who grow their own and like it hot lol I had a cayenne plant that I had to cut down so I took some seeds off some peppers that hadn't even started turning red. My question is would these...
