I'm just north of Toronto... due to some stumbles out of the block this year, I'm growing super hots exclusively this year aside from a single cayenne plant. I have tons of pods on all plants (more pods than leaves on the cayeene!) and ripening is just starting. Picked one bhut jolokia and 2...

All of the advice so far is great... just to add my 2 cents on the "nipping of buds". I'm just outside Toronto, so I also have a short growing seaon, although yours may be slightly shorter. It depends on the type of pepper. The Serrano should be okay if you nip the first set of buds. Super hots...

A couple weeks ago I set some seeds out for germination. 2 batches... all in coffee filters and paper towels and placed in zip bags. 1 batch got tossed on top of the fridge while the other got placed on my heat mats. within a few days, the fridge batch was ready for transplant. The heat mat...

Update:  Thanks to all that advised.   I ended up buying some Great White off eBay and made a purchase from fungi perfecti.   I have used the great white already and in just a coupl of days, there is already a noticeable difference on the treated germinated seeds... the tap root is covered in...

I tried amazon, but it seemed that whatever I found wouldn't ship to Canada.  On eBay, there were so many options and varying descriptions that I was getting confused as to what I wanted or needed.   I placed an order with fungi.com and I'll start with that.. hopefully I get it before its time...

I tried that route... 2 suppliers in my area listed, but 1 no longer exists and the other no longer carries it.

Cheers!  Thanks for the info

I just got some yellow brain strain from pepperlover.com

Where can I get some of  THIS type of 'shrooms in Canada?   I know there are restrictions regarding cross-border shipments, but the one vendor I found that seemingly allowed it doesn't respond to emails or voicemails.   Thanks for any help in advance  

I placed an order for some Mykos in November.  I haven't seen any product as of yet and ZERO response to my 3 emails and 2 voicemails.   I just sent a PM, but looks like he hasn't been active here since mid December.

Judy gets an A+++ for customer service.   I placed a small order in November, and after 5 weeks, it hadn't shown up.  I contacted Judy and she explained that her hands were tied once it gets shipped as it is up to the postal service to get it to the final destination, but said she'd ship it out...

Finally uploaded the pic of the split pod. The smell was pungent. Similar to a hab but more intense. The initial flavour was a little sweet, but that quickly dissipated and was replaced by burning and a flavour similar to a hab. It was a fairly strong burn that lasted a few minutes and then...

I'm growing those myself, but due to late plant out, I don't have any pods yet to compare... Thanks It's more orange in colour than it appears in the pic

I haven't cut it open yet... I figured if it was a super-hot it wouldn't be the best choice for a stand-alone breakfast! LOL  Where did I put my scrambled eggs?

Can anyone tell me what this is? The guy who grew it wasn't sure!
