I lost quite a few to damping off. AGAIN. Not enough ventilation is what I suspect. I should hopefully be able to keep all of the ones I have now and still have a good year. :wacko:

So I got all my little ones transplanted this weekend. This time around I chose to put them all in the jiffy peat pots. I used Happy Frog medium. This is my question. Has anyone noticed growth reduction and/or root binding problems when you put "Pot and all" into the ground? To be safe in...

I assume this works, I do exactly that and we are always amazed at how insanely hot even my jalapenos are much less my super hots. I also make sure to use a calcium supplement every couple of weeks once they are in the dirt.

Thanx everybody! I'm stoked that it's pepper time again (except for the constant worrying about seeds not germinating). What are you growing this year? The seeds I have started are White Hab, Choc Hab, Tabasco, Peter Pepper, Hungarian Wax, and the Carolina Reaper! I will buy some Jap...

You've got me scared now, I've always used a forest material organic potting soil mixed with some sand and maybe vermiculite to start my seeds, and had great results. This year I thought, "What the hell, a lot of folks do just fine with peat." I had some plain ol' peat potting soil so I used...

Look like the less hot American strain of the bhut jolokia. I grew some last year and the plant, leaves, and pods looked just like that. At least it was sold to me as that from seedrack.com. :wacko: Yeh, heat was creeper, not insane hot, but definitely had some heat. Tasted like raspberry...

In my experience, it totally depends on amount of sun, temp, plant size, ect. When seedlings and sprouts I wait until the top of the potting soil dries up a bit, then soak with a mister. When in the garden, I let the plants start to wilt a bit and then do the same (a complete soak). I do...

I am new to the forum, but have been growing hot peppers for a very long time. I have some beautiful sprouts popping up right now! I look forward to sharing pepper info with all of you!
