Many years ago I bought a Manzano pepper from the grocery store. It was the size of a medium bell pepper. More recently I grew both red and yellow rocotos and the pods were much smaller. Which variety of C. pubescens is the largest, and where can I buy seeds? Thanks in advance.

It's just a basic recipe modified to use Bhut Jolokia. 2 dried Bhuts 10 Aji Panca 2 cups distilled vinegar 2 tsp salt The aji Panca is intended to make the sauce thicker without adding heat. I haven't decided what pepper to use instead. I found a similar recipe that calls for 1 lb of cayenne...

I have a sauce recipe that calls for 10 Aji Panca chilies, I would like to substitute something else but I have no experience with Aji Pancas. I wish the recipe just gave me a weight or measurement. Can someone help me zero in on the right amount? What is the general weight of 10 Aji Pancas?

Hello, I am a collector of wild pepper species and I need help identifying a particular pepper. My information is all second hand, so I will start by telling you all the info I have gathered. The story begins when my friend's chilehead brother bought a bag of bird seed for his pet birds. He...

I have a recipe for ghost pepper sauce that calls for 10 dried aji panca chilis, and I would like to substitute fresh mild habaneros, can someone tell me how many habs equals 10 aji panca? I have no experience with aji panca. If I had to take a wild guess I would say 15-20 habs to 10 aji panca...

@ POTAWIE Thanks for the turbo pube suggestion, and I am really interested in the Ecuadorian Red Pepper from Hell, do you know where I can find seeds? I have moved my plants to a location that has less hours of direct sunlight and I will watch to see if they improve. I have them all in 5 gallon...

I am currently growing yellow and red Manzanos. I have read that certain C. pubescens varieties don't do as well at high temps. My Manzano leaves have been looking kind of droopy. I live in Michigan, and our summers can be mild compared to southern states, but it can also be over 100 degrees so...

I am looking for seeds to wild species, as well as yellow and chocolate Bhuts, yellow or orange T. Scorpions, and other superhots. All my seeds are from packets and were not pollinated by me. Here is what I have to trade: Orange Habanero Red Devil's Tongue Trinidad Scorpion (Original strain)...

Thanks for the help everyone..

Hello, I started my plants indoors, and since I've started taking them outdoors some leaves are becoming white and paper thin. I wonder if It has something to do with being outdoors, or a fungus? I had some mold problems this winter. There are still some healthy leaves, so I hope I am not too...

I have Red Devil's Tongue and Original Trinidad Scorpion. What do you have to trade?

@ Chinamon I started my plants mid February last year and none of my Chinense types ripened before the end of the season. @ Prehensile, Florida has excruciating heat and humidity that rain does not remedy. Although it is great for growing, I would prefer the dry heat and mountains of New...
