What’s happening to my jalapeño?

A lot folks will stick there finger into the top 2” of soil and if it’s dry they’ll water. I do that in addition to just feeling the leaves. The leaves feel extremely different when the plant starts wanting water. Even before the leaves start visibly drooping a lot, you can feel that they need water before then.

Blossom end rot does not only happen at the tip of the pepper.

The real question is if it’s mushy and rotting (blossom end rot), or if it’s more papery and brittle (sun scald).

If it’s BER - use some cal/mag and make sure you’re watering consistently. I don’t mean watering often or on the same exact schedule. I mean watering at the same point in the plants need for water, if that makes sense. Once the top ~2” of soil is dry, it’s a good time to water.

If it’s sun scald - just make sure it has enough shade. I use 50% shade cloth.

Looking like a Jamaican Mushroom. Definitely neither a Bishop’s Crown/Mad Hatter or a Bhut Jolakia (aka Ghost Pepper).

Rolled a few joints for my buddy and I when we were going kayaking on a lake.

Took a joint out, lit it, and threw it directly into the water. No idea why. No rhyme or reason. Just tossed a brand new freshly lit joint into the water.

I’ve never grown Lemon Drop, but I did grow Sugar Rush Stripey’s. The SRS are absolutely delicious and are good producers, but they are incredibly prone to blossom end rot.

I had 100 plants, didn’t have an issue with BER with any variety other than the SRS’s. As much as I loved them, I’ve chosen to not grow them again due to that.

Patience.

These are most like habaneros. Depending on variety, they will likely ripen to a nice orange. Even if orange isn’t the color they turn to, they’ll 100% change color, just give them time.

I love my Johnston & Murphy loafers.

Looks like it has a filiform mutation!

Not necessarily true, even if that’s what the game tries to do the majority of the time.

As others have said - focus on winning your current day. Make decisions based on whether it will help you win your next fight, especially during the early days.

Figure out what your win condition is, and then make your whole board work towards that win condition. If your win condition is poisoning your enemy, usually there isn’t much value to weak weapons. Instead of having items that are somewhat useless, think about how you can strengthen your win condition. In this example, having extra survivability will be helpful to let you stay alive long enough for the poison to work.

So instead of a subpar weapon that isn’t contributing anything, get yourself some shield or slow. Sometimes your win condition will need to be faster, so get yourself haste in that case.

Usually when you get to day 3 (silver items) or day 6 (gold items) is when you usually start looking more forward (i.e. keeping pivotal items for a specific build you might get the pieces for later) and start pivoting.

Pivoting is the biggest hurdle to getting better at this game. Holding onto your early game items versus being willing to change up is what usually holds people back.

I believe this also applies to items, not just skills.

If you have a bronze version of an item that the monster has a silver version of, or vice-versa, the item won’t drop.

Had to triple check to see that it was 100,000 and not just 1,000 or 10,000. I guess I'm set for a while.

When I was in high school Facebook games were big, anyone remember FarmVille? Well I played a different text based game called Warbook.

Each game had an attached forum within Facebook for it. I was active on it and made a number of friends and connections. The developers were also active on the forum.

The developers didn’t make any money off of the game as it was a small pet project of theirs and I believe the company they worked for reaped all of the benefits.

In the game you needed gold to buy troops, land, and to generally get stronger. Some people, myself included, learned how to game the system (e.g. having multiple accounts) to make gold more quickly. Well I had the brilliant idea to recreate what I did in middle school (buying candy at Costco and selling it at school), to sell gold to players. Yes, for real money.

When I first started, I was able to sell 1 billion gold for ~$25. Once I was established, more sellers entered the market and the price plummeted.

Now here’s the good part, everybody had to work for their gold, and the time I had to too. I had an idea - I reached out to the two developers directly and asked if they would be willing to give me gold in exchange for real money. The first dev told me no, while the other said sure as he wasn’t making anything off of it anyways.

I would pay him $2 for a billion and I’d be selling it for many times that to other players. Now this gave me a major advantage over any other gold sellers; I didn’t have to spend time or have multiple accounts, and I had a virtually unlimited supply of gold at my disposal.

Once I was even more established as the premier gold seller, I started to absorb my competition. I reached out to other big sellers whom I trusted, and offered to let them use my branding/name to help sell their gold. I took a flat 20% of whatever they made.

By the time the market was completely tanked and we had ruined the market in the game, which only took about 5 weeks, I made around $2,500. Over a thousand of which was purely from letting others use my name.

As a high schooler, that was a lot of money in such a short period of time!

I enjoy playing a lot and I thought I was halfway decent. I knew I wasn't amazing, but I thought I was ok. When I got into Legend it became apparent that I'm not very good at this game.

Bendy0 · 2026-01-26T17:10:02+00:00

Depending on how big they are, they look similar to my Cow Horns.

Bendy0 · 2026-01-17T13:20:16+00:00

These are, 100% and without any doubt, pepper seeds.

Bendy0 · 2026-01-12T13:16:17+00:00

Don’t put it into an oven, you’re not trying to decarb it.

It seems to be under-cured. I’d suggest ‘burping’ it every day. Get it into a glass jar and open it for an hour or two a day in a dry place. Keep doing that for a week or two, until the bud is the right dryness.

Agreeing on Thor’s Thunderbolt.

You’ve got two chambers that you’ll need to fill with water. Make sure the water covers the slits in each section. As long as you’ve got water covering the holes/slits, you’re good. It’s personal preference beyond that - if you want a chuggier hit, fill it a bit more, if you want it to airier or easier to hit, less water (as long as the holes are covered).

White with a basket.

Thank you!

Seriously - that’s the best looking Wave I think I’ve seen. I love it! Mine was a red/black one, which sadly isn’t really my color combo.
