LED Bhut Jolokia Update (7/12)

Red Icculus — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 16:02:32 +0000

The LED Bhut Jolokia was moved from LED to the big metal halide in the sky. It also went from recirculating coco to hand-watered whenever the plant wilts to make the peppers super hot. I am still using my favorite nutrient line, GH MaxiBloom. I can’t believe it’s the same plant. It’s really kicking out [...]

“Bonchi” or Bonsai Chili Peppers

Red Icculus — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 13:52:35 +0000

Bonsai plants are a beautiful art form. Fatalii has taken it one step further with bonsai chili pepper plants. I have previously written about Bonchi, or bonsai chili pepper plants on the GH Blog. I wanted to share the progression of my bonchi Bhut Jolokia with UHGU. This is my 2-year old Bhut Jolokia plant [...]

Between growing, trying to promote Super Croppers, and spending a large amount of time wakeboarding I neglected to post my Glow Panel Grow Off update videos.

So I took this video on day 7 and the pics on day 8. It also turns out, now that the plants are large enough for me to identify that the ones I was calling jalapeno are actually habenero and vice versa …oh well.

Inducing Fruiting in Problem Peppers in the Urban Garden

Red Icculus — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 13:21:41 +0000

(Bhut Jolokia, week 7) Some species of peppers can be finicky when it comes to inducing fruiting, particularly Capsicum Chinense. There can be plenty of blooms, but even with a manual pollinator like beneficial insects or a paintbrush, flowers can drop. There are several things that can be done to encourage successful pollination in problem [...]

A whole ‘nother level II

So we got motivated today and went even further with Charles’ shade house. We got the frame finished and got some tan shade cloth hung ofter half of the roof. Charles still has to make a decision on the other half. We are thinking maybe some polycarbonate paneling would be nice. Just wait till we [...]
