I'm glad you did. I have some of what was advertised as BGs, but they taste like soap so I wouldn't send to an enemy.

Wanted: Fresh Jay's Peach Ghost/Bhut Scorpion. My slightly old seeds seem to have lost their vitality. I'm looking for fresher seeds that have that unique peachy color. (Or even slightly off-color.) I have some seeds or pods to trade, notably fresh Fatalii and Shattah (these little guys...

You haven't a clue about growing peppers and you start with Reapers, which even if you succeed are f*g inedible.   Are you aware of your damage?           No, of course not.

IME peppers like more nitrogen than tomatoes.  General rule of thumb: 3:1:2 or a multiple thereof.    And I agree, don't assume that fertilizers are required at all.  If the soil pH is okay, the plant will be able to get what it needs directly from the soil for several months, even in a container.

All 50 have CCW?  Cool.  Texas has got a form of open carry now.

BigB, Butch Ts are somewhat finicky.  Like some other superhots (reaper, primo) they seem to be sensitive to fert and pH imbalance, possibly requiring an abnormal amount of certain nutes.    Japs are like weeds.  Anyone can grow them.  Heck, birds grow them.  Good thing they're so rewarding...

  I've grown fatalii in Georgia.  They - at least the basic variety, I don't know about these froofy white perverts - is solid, prolific, and well adapted to the GA and FL climates.  Any problem you have growing them is with you, not with fatalii.   Ablizno, Jay's Peach Bhut Scorpion is a...

Moscow!  Welcome to Texas!    So far the plant looks good.  I agree with the comments about overwatering.  Fortunately the plant is big enough that damping off (a fungal infection) is unlikely.  The problem with overwatering is that it does bad things to roots, retarding growth.  Your growing...

Bullcookies and moose hockey.    I told you it was a goner and I told you why.  Stop promulgating poor reasoning.

To all accounts, peppers aren't nearly as sensitive to spectra as marijahooky.  (There's even considerable debate as to whether the evil weed istself is all that sensitive.)    That said, bulb1 is quite red at 2000K, but it has considerable more lumens.  Bukb2 is in the nominal sweet spot at...

Crinkly or bubbley leaves indicate a Ca or Mg deficiency, which might be from low Ca/Mg or from a high soil pH.  Super-hot chinense like reapers and Butch T are particularly susceptible, but fatalii isn't all that susceptible.  When I've seen a problem, it hasn't been in fatalii.  The spots of...

Yep, temp makes a big difference.   I keep my house about 65oF in the winter.  (Unless it's warm out.  This is Texas.)  I don't germinate at room temp, and neither should anyone living in Maine.  Find somewhere warm, like the top of a cable box or inside an oven with a pilot light.  I use a...

Hmmm a search on remington1612 keeps turning up references to Ruger Mini-14 and friends.    Why do I keep having visions of Apocalypse Now mercs growing veggies out behind the temple?

  "hardening off" refers to acclimatizing a plant to direct sun and other outdoor conditions such as wind.    The term you are groping for is "damping off" which is a fungal infection of the stem usually brought about by too-damp soil.

Mr. GG, that's fair advice - if one lives in California.    Did you read the OP?
