Hello there! So, I quickly got this all together the other day while I finally had some free time. I've used an old wooden reptile vivarium commandeered from a friend, a couple of reptile heat mats with thermostats and 2 RGB LED light panels which are designed to be used when lighting on-stage...

Hey all, So I haven't been online for a few months and I thought this to be quite rude of me! There reason I'm back is because I've pretty much given up on trying to convince the Mrs to eat more hot food. Now don't get me wrong, she will eat moderately hot food...but to me it's just mild and...

Hello all :) This year I overwintered my 2 Habs and the scotch bonnet I grew last summer, one of the habs died pretty swiftly and the second tried to grow back when I recently put it back by the window and has since just turned brown :/ However, on a better note the SB has grown back nicely in...

So yeah, pretty much as the title says! After a quick search on google and on the forum, I couldn't find any sources to buy heated propagators with a light already built in. I know its easy enough to get an electric propagator and just buy a light, however i was wondering if any of you...

After a late start; towards the end of April, here are how things are looking: Super chilli: Some are just starting to ripen up, although the pods look quite small. My little helper: Not sure what this plant is, just bought it labeled as a chilli plant: Scotch Bonnet: And my...

Hey all, So this maybe a stupid question with a real blatant answer but this morning I noticed that some of very small pods on one of my super chilli plants are starting to turn black, as opposed to the other 5 plants whose pods are just light green. I tried to scratch it off, in-case it was...

After a late start to my season, things are going pretty well. Pods are starting to show on the majority. However I went out this morning and found a few fair sized holes that have appeared overnight, here are a few pictures. Super chilli: One of the first pods now that the flower has popped...

This weekend I will be moving out of my student accommodation and heading around 100 miles south. I was wondering whether transporting my 8 plants; which are around 4 inches tall at the moment, will have any ill effects? If so how can this be minimized? Has anyone had to move plants on such a...

Howdy, So for my first grow I currently have 2 x cayennes, 6 x super f1s and 2 x yellow habs under a 400W HPS lamp and I've been reading a lot about overwintering plants. My question is, given the light I'm using is it advisable to take the plants out after fruiting and overwinter them...or...

After searching the forums and not finding much, I started this topic :) Now I have around 30 seedlings (super chillis and habaneros)and I also have two supposedly cayenne plants from a local fruit shop. After transplanting them into much needed larger pots, I have noticed the following on one...

Howdy, I had a check on my babies this morning, only to find that this guy had sprung up while I had been asleep :) As opposed to having 2 'leaves' like the other seedlings, this guy has 3. Can anyone offer an explanation?

:welcome: This is a fairly simple recipe, that is relatively difficult to go wrong with and takes around 30-40 mins + prep time feeding 4 people. Cous-cous or wild rice are great with this chicken dish. First of all I apologize in advance but I'm not so accurate when it comes to...

:welcome: So after being rather slow off of the mark as far as the season goes, and having 30 odd seeds germinating in a box I was deliberating as to what I should do with regards to actually growing these germing seeds. I spoke to a friend who used to grow .. ermm... rather 'tropical' plants...

Hey all, first of all I apologize in advance if this has been posted elsewhere and I also appreciate the list of seed companies complied. However I'm looking for a reputable place to order chilli plants from, in the UK. Thanks for any suggestions :)

So yeah, I know it's kinda late in the season to be starting but can anyone recommend anything that would be ok to start growing now? I guess I'd just be growing on a windowsill or something like that...however I am led to believe that my friend has a artificial light (from growing the naughty...

Evening all, my name is Matt and I'm a chemistry student...I've always had an obsession with hot food and have been growing chillies on and off for a few years now. I thought it would be wise for me to get involved with a forum and after perusing the net I found you guys :) After having a good...
