I got mine too, there are a lot of seeds. Thank you. 

Good luck on your grow, from one Marine to another. I spent 3 years in Lejeune, unfortunately the barracks don't allow for much pepper growing while I was there. Let me know if you need any seeds, I have a few extra varieties including some Carolina Reapers.

I have a quite a few seeds left from last year's plants. I'd be willing to ship them to you. I just looked and sending a letter to South Africa from the U.S. is only like $1.15, not sure how long it would take though. I'd be happy to send them, just PM me.

Thanks for being awesome.   If still available I'd be interested in: Fresno Gold Cayenne Red Cayenne Chocolate 7 Pot   I'll PM also, thanks again.

A little over a month away from planting these beauties. I changed up a lot of things this year in addition to LEDs: I've kept the plants a lot warmer, I've tried to say above 70F, I have a fan blowing on them for about 4 hours a day, I'm watering only when nearly dry, and put them in something...

My first year growing reapers (2 seasons ago) I had a couple plants but didn't get any pods, I dug up the healthiest of the two and over wintered it. I had a billion pods pretty early last year. I still have the same plant in a 5 gal bucket upstairs that I barely keep alive, I expect another...

I got a couple plants at the city market last year and put them on my porch. I didn't use them for much, I did put a few leaves in tea a couple times, they are a fun low maintenance talking piece too. 

Sawyer, I have an extra digital camera laying around if you need it, cause I'm not seeing any pictures.

  Thanks, and as it stands I have way more reapers than I will have room for, I'd be happy to trade a plant or four for some of your varieties, I would also be interested in tomato plants too, I don't start my own maters, not enough room . Also I'm currently without a car, so anytime you plan on...

Things are growing great. I'm having way more luck than last year with my T-8 setup. The only other dependent variable is that I now have a ceramic heat bulb going 24 hours this year as opposed to an infrared bulb last year that was only on during my light hours. This is a pic from last...

On the plant, there was an entire section dedicated to diseases they are susceptible to.

  Best of luck to you, I'm going to take some pictures throughout the season, we should compare our crops.     That is a great link, thanks for that. I've spent the last hour reading everything on there, lots of great info, but now I'm afraid of mold and fungus.

Good luck this year. From what I read every year they get bigger and bigger. I saw they are pretty hearty as long as the ground doesn't freeze solid in the first couple of years. After the third year they are apparently impossible to kill without trying.

Thanks all, I think I'll probably just put up poles every 10ft or so then and string them. I'm pretty excited to grow hops, and the lady of the house is on board which is a bonus, she's not a huge fan of the garden being 75% peppers.

So I bought 2 rhizomes each of three varieties, chinook, cascade, and centennial. I was wondering if anyone has any experience growing hops? I preordered so I'm not getting then until March or April, just trying to plan. I have a pretty good length (30 feet ish) of south facing chain link fence...
