    Shigshwa's 2016 Carolina Reaper Grow

    It's been a while since I've been on here. Well. I'm back, same tent, but this time, with hydro! I'm running a 25 gallon DWC setup, with clones and a mother. I'd use HPS if I had one, but I hope that MH will do fine. The growth rates in hydro have been outstanding, and I'm excited to see what...

    Black spots on the bottom of tomatoes. Blossom end rot?

    On this ananas noire I'm growing, every fruit develops a dark spot or two on the fruit at some point. Is this blossom end rot? Doesn't seem like it.

    Bacterial infection? What is this?

    This is strange. My tomato plant has bumps along it's stem. At the top, the new growth appears to curl in a strange way. Older leaves are curling. When I wipe my finger on the stem, there is a yellow fluid. Also, purple spots are visible on the stem. What could it be?

    annuum Sour and heatless Jalapenos... overwatered?

    I finally cut a jalapeno from the plant to test it's flavor. When I tasted it, it was heatless, and had a slightly sour taste to it, and it wasn't rotten in any way. What could have caused this?

    nutrients Hydro nute ratios for peppers

    Seeing that a chilli plant grows and flowers at the same time, do I mix my GH nutes to be even, or should I continually use a blooming mix?

    Trinidad douglah... red?

    I ordered some trinidad douglah seeds from pepperlover.com, and I have one plant at the moment. What I'm stumped about though.. is that the pods ripened red, and not brown..

    health Plant is becoming less productive, sick plant?

    I need help on this, guys. So, my plants have been doing great until about 3 weeks ago. Now, the flowers are constantly dropping before they even bloom, and the leaves are slowly dying off. Also, parts of the stem seem to turn color and have a slightly softer texture to it, like this: I have...

    breeding Butch T and Bhut Jolokia cross?

    Has anybody had a cross between the two? My TS Butch T plant has created these strange looking pods. They are long, but with ridges on them. Only 2 of my pods resemble a Trinidad Scorpion. I have both of these plants growing in my tent. Does this look like a cross between the two? A...

    A Ridiculously Improvised DWC Hydro Setup. (Now a grow log!)

    To summarize, I had too much free time, and then this came into my mind: Old Hydroton+Old pot originally used for a basil plant, with cut slits+An old aerated brine shrimp hatching kit (with a modified bottle height)+Some electrical tape+A spare Bhut Jolokia seedling=A fully improvised deep...

    seeds Germinating seeds... in an aquarium???

    I don't quite believe it either. So I was bored one day, and decide to feed my fishes a trinidad scorpion seed (I know, I'm a nice owner, right? But they didnt seem to react anyways). They didnt eat it, so it was left there to float, and sink somewhere. So it's been 2 weeks or so since then, and...

    Single leaf with red patches?

    This only happened on one of my plants. I notice that one leaf looks just like the one below, so I decide to cut it off, but upon moving it, it pops cleanly off. I noticed the patches from a week back, starting with one, then becoming this. Is this nute burn, or a bacterial infenction of some...

    water Does hard water provide calcium/magnesium?

    In my case, my tap water contains calcium and magnesium carbonate, which when added to water, dissociates into calcium, magnesium, and carbonate ions. My question is, can this Ca and Mg be absorbed by the plant?

    Purpling stems a problem?

    Just a few days ago, I notice that my Bhut plant had a purple looking stem. A few days later, I notice that the Trinidad stems were developing a purplish tinge to the stem, with some of the leaf veins taking on that color as well. Is this a problem? Or is it ok? Ignore the arrows. The Bhut is...

    water pH Down adding phosphorus to water?

    pH Down contains phosphoric acid. If I add some to adjust my high pH tap water, does it add a significant amount of phosphorus to the water? From the site that I have read, an excess of phosphorus will cause a deficiency in zinc, and a deficiency in zinc causes the leaf margins to become...

    Telling a Butch T and a Bhut Jolokia Plant Apart

    Other than the peppers themselves, is there any way to tell a Bhut Jolokia plant from a Trinidad Scorpion plant?

    NOTE: Skip to the later pages to see my latest grow. Most of this is a log of my previous grows.       --------------------------------------------------------- I saw quite a lot of grow logs out here, which inspired me to make one myself. I thought that I could also use this as an opportunity...

    soil High water pH affecting soil nutrient availability?

    The pH of the water in Denver, Colorado is around 8. If I water my peppers with this, will the high pH lock out the nutrients in the soil?

    organic Miracle Gro Organic Choice really that bad?

    Hey guys, first post here! I am a novice grower of peppers, my first time growing actually! For now, this is my temporary setup, with a cheap growing light and a fluorescent desk light. I will get a 400w MH system and a grow tent sometime later. There are 4 Trinidad Scorpions growing, and one...
