Nice find! Know of any other stores in the area that carry hot peppers (other than the common varieties like habaneros and jalapeños)? I'm heading to Fallbrook next month and these winter months without fresh peppers are killin' me! I need to find some markets that sell fresh peppers in southern...

Those roots look incredible. Keep up the good work! Cool set up too.

You should make sure that the soil is kept moist too. With temps that high, the soil tends to dry out pretty quick. Good luck!

Plants are looking great. That's a pretty sweet irrigation set up too!

Incredible pictures. Congrats on getting the Galap to pop. It's going to be an exciting grow season for you!

I also recently made a purchase with Pepperlover (for the third time). Not only are the germination rates great and the freebies a nice bonus, but all of her seeds grow true and as advertised. There's nothing worse than caring for a plant for 6 months only to find out that it is not what you...

Does anyone freeze their potting soil before using it to kill off any pests? I tried it a couple weeks ago before planting and I think it may have eliminated my spider mite issue that I constantly have in the early sprouting stages. It's still too early to tell whether it was effective, but I...

I'd say 10 to 14 days. It can definitely vary, but superhots take longer than others.

Good read. Thanks for posting.
