Was thinking about buying here, but I just realized they are dried. I was hoping I could find fresh. I might try to look up some Mexican grocers near me since I can't find them fresh and because I waited to long to plant them.

Thanks, I'll have to check it out.

Thanks for the suggestions so far. I'm just not very good at growing things. I tried to do all the right things. I started using those jiffy pucks but didn't start early enough. Last year I just used solo cups with holes on the bottom but not one germinated. I don't know if it was too cool in...

I have never had one. I have tried and failed at growing them. I love Cholula but there don't seem to be many other options for hot sauces that are highly regarded. I have checked the hot pepper awards(The Fat Cat sauces don't appeal too much, I don't care for papaya). I also tried to grow some...

I know there are a few from Fat Cat, but I'm not too keen on the papaya or ginger. Are there any others that are well respected with pequin?

So I have started exploring the hot sauces from the awards list. I have found quite a few of the more mild ones that I enjoy. I do still like some boring cholula though, which contains pequin. I have never had the opportunity to have an actual pequin (keep failing at growing them), so I would...

Thanks for the suggestions.

I have never tried making a sauce before, but I just ordered some fatalii peppers to make the following sauce: 4 Fatalii chili peppers, coarsely chopped 1 mango, peeled and coarsely chopped (aobut 1 cup) 2 cups fresh pineapple, chopped 1/4 cup chopped cilantro 1 cup apple cider vinegar ½ cup...

Thanks a bunch for the help guys.

Is there really any way to purchase the peppers themselves?

Well, I did get the Caljohns puree, but it is a bit bland to me, I wish there were more purchasable options, seems like there is a market there. Some of those recipes do sound good, but unfortunately I don't have any way to get my hands on any fataliis. 

I'm just getting into sauces and I really like fatliis, so I wanted to ask for some suggestions in finding a good sauce I can try out. I have seen some recipes including mango and pineapple which sound really good, but I can't seem to find much, any suggestions?

So I just wanted to check back in and see if there is anything I can do to save my growing season. It has been a long time now and nothing has sprouted. It isn't all that warm in the basement where I have them, but I did finally get a warming pad under them. I thought about bringing a space...

I am using the Taotronics, yes.   They seem to be about 3 feet from the plants. I may raise them 6 inches to a foot once they sprout. I am also concerned about the fact that the light doesn't cover the entire area.   I will get a spray bottle for now until they sprout.   I do have a heat pad...

So last year I didn't get started soon enough(I barely knew how to plant stuff). I actually have what I believe to be better lights this time, but I'm not sure about specifics. For example, do they need to be closer? Water them whenever they seem real dry(I am bottom watering)? etc.    Basically...
