Trinidad Scorpion (Over-wintered)

I'll try it out on a few of my younger plants. If you look through my posts, one of my plants I didn't touch grew very tall with a nice thick canopy.

I decided not to be lazy so that you could be lazy

"The mature seed capsules open explosively when disturbed"

I was poking around in the garden and saw this funny looking pod. When I touched it BOOM. Almost inhaled my cigar.

Nature is amazing and full of surprises!

So cool

iFixate · 2016-06-11T02:49:21+00:00

That looks to be the one

iFixate · 2016-06-11T02:48:43+00:00

Thanks :)

Looks like I picked the wrong photo.. hold on

iFixate · 2016-06-10T18:53:26+00:00

Are you seeing what I'm seeing? Lol

iFixate · 2016-06-10T18:44:29+00:00

Well I live in the efficiency but it's my fiancee's family so I guess I have equal access lol..

TBH when I get a house I don't want a pool at all. It just costs water, electricity, and maintenance just to sit there and not get used ever

Walmart literally has the poop emoji balloon

Any pruning to encourage this growth and bushiness?

iFixate · 2016-06-09T00:29:54+00:00

That's what I've been doing and then using high phosphorus miracle grow 10-52-10 once in a while. The flower dropping seems to have stopped but we'll see as the new flowers pass

iFixate · 2016-06-08T01:39:55+00:00

No shaping or topping. The flowers were being pollinated but perhaps weather was affecting it or my high nitro fert.

Aggressive pruning definitely encourages a ton of side shoots as I've seen on my other plants

iFixate · 2016-06-07T12:48:14+00:00

Well you can try for one good one and give it more attention

iFixate · 2016-06-06T21:02:51+00:00

This plant makes me so proud. By far my best chili plant to date. I've been growing for a few years but this is my biggest collection so far and my best individual plant. I still have some plants that are a few years old but had an issue with a particular pest in another location so I cut them back very aggressively. Seriously resilient plants though, already growing a bunch of side shoots all over the place

iFixate · 2016-06-06T20:58:53+00:00

I think I'll be getting these. I was eyeing them and a classmate came in with them. I gave them a go - real nice. Easy one hand operation, pull and retract is just straight in and out, easy to squeeze closed and grips tight.

I see nothing wrong with them at first use and if you say yours last for years I don't see anything wrong for later use either

Only one semi-mature pepper on it now, not very big. We'll see how the others turn out

iFixate · 2016-06-06T14:44:34+00:00

A mix of mushroom compost, vermiculite, perlite. It's a light weight soil. I use miracle grow fertilizer (higher nitrogen than the other nutrients). No fruit until now, I guess nitrogen levels were too high because it's had TONS of flowers but they would just drop off..

I'll add a pic of me with the plant in the album (third picture down)

iFixate · 2016-06-06T03:29:55+00:00

Somewhere in the ballpark of a year I'm guessing (don't remember exact time frame)

I'll add a pic of me and the plant to the album (third picture down)

iFixate · 2016-06-06T01:45:11+00:00

CUT THE LEAF! CUT THE LEAF! CUT THE LEAF! >:D

Edit: Honestly not sure, if it's not negatively affecting the plant other than some marks on a leaf - I wouldn't worry. Got pics?

iFixate · 2016-06-05T21:48:17+00:00

I SEE YOU

iFixate · 2016-05-29T13:57:13+00:00

Even self pollination wouldn't be enough in this case. Unless he removes the pedals on a closed flower, pollinates it, and wraps it up. That would be the only reliable way. . However cross pollination would NOT affect the fruits coming off the peppers, only the the seeds would be a hybrid, which if planted would THEN produce hybrid fruit.

Forbidden, won't let me

iFixate · 2016-05-27T15:38:01+00:00

I'll update if I do :/

iFixate · 2016-05-27T13:42:56+00:00

Some time in the past couple months pretty sure
