Red 7-pod

I saw you had a balcony. I live in a mobile home park and have no room for a garden but I made these brackets to hook onto the back cement wall. You could do the same with your balcony and hang them inside the balcony or over the edge. This picture shows them a little better

Not a problem. Even with the troubles I had last year I still got so many peppers I was giving them away. Doesn't take too many to really heat things up. That picture of the overwintered plant is a original red 7-pod . I have high hopes for it this year. I think it is one of my favorite peppers.

I have seen quite a few potting mix recipes on here that include Greensand which has silica in it. Any thoughts ?

It's been awhile since I have posted on the forum here so I thought I should check in and catch up on what is going on in the pepper world. I have my seeds started and up and growing my overwintered plants are starting to leaf out. I am hoping year 2 will be more productive than year 1 with all...

I live in the agricultural section of Kern county and there are huge amonts of orange trees here. We ocasionally get sub freezing weather here and the farmers use huge fans to circulate the air to prevent frost damage to the orange crop . So I am guessing that a light breerze would actually help...

Although I am a newer grower this is my experience. Last year I started my plants in jiffy pellets and took some straight into 1 gal pots with potting mix and put others in a 3 1/2 by 3 1/2 by 5" pots with a light, seed starting mix. The ones in the starter mix developed quicker than the ones in...

They don't have the heat that a scorpion has they are only slightly hotter than a good Habenero but they do taste good They are very good . not super hot but hotter than a habenero. I am going to try and make some stuffed peppers with then this weekend. I saw some onhere that looked really good

Thanks for the info, my chocolate habs didn't germinate either. That is why I went to Hippy seed for the second batch. I had very good germination rates and all have grown true so far. The Naga Morich I am growing from Niel's seeds is tremendously hot.

It will be fun finding out what they are . I am going to grow them at my sons house a few miles away so as not to get any cross breeding. He doesn't grow plants at all and I have heard of useing a fine netting also helps. As I said they are really good tasting just not super hot. Really good in...

No the 2 oddballs came from the same package as the 2 good ones from Hinterland trading co. Niels seeds were a second set of plants altogether

I bought Butch T trinidad scorpions from Hinterland trading company off of Amazon. 2 of them look normal and 2 of them look like the pictures posted. Maybe a couple of seeds fell in the pack or maybe they weren't pure seeds. My second batch of seeds came from Niel Smith, Hippy seed co. and they...

Thanks for the help. I too am thinking they are a cross of some sort. They are actually very good tasting, sweet and fruity but not near as hot as the Butch T. I have some yellow 7 pot growing also but have yet to get pods, the weather here has been in the 100's most of the month and the pods...

[IMG] ] I I grew these from seeds and I don't believe they are the Butch T's they were advertised as . The other seeds that came from the same package are totaly different, they look just like the butch t pictures I have seen here. Could these be some kind of cross...

Thanks! I reposted it over there .
