if i pressure canned this after 3 days would it be a refrigerate after opening type of item?

as long as it takes.  I would say a minimum of 45 days though.  years if you want

how does this sound   8 cups of chopped peppers, several varieties mostly jalapapeno, and naga inferno (it was a freebie, they look like tobasco but are quite a bit hotter), 2 buhts, 2 carolina reapers and some green and purple bells.   2 cups fresh pineapple chunks   2 cups of shredded carrots...

i have just really started growing peppers, but after having a pretty low success rate with the paper towel method.  i started using a 1020 72 cell flat with a heat mat and thermostat set to 85F.  the cells are filled with straight perlite.     so far i am having a 90 percent germination rate. ...

i recently ordered the box of dynamite 5 super hot varieties, 2 freebies, and two ghost pepper dried pods showed up at my doorstep 3 days later.  so that part was good.    i pulled 3 seed from each variety and started the paper towel method as directed in the included instructions.  this is...

i think OP was wanting short growing pepper variety suggestions  

there are lots of resources on the internet as well as some great books available for download for free.  just google.  some mushrooms are more difficult to grow than others, and like morels for instance are darn near impossible to cultivate with any consistency. 

ive always kinda went over kill and actually pressure can my sauce.  only when I open the jar do I transfer it into a sterilized bottle for the table.    its really not much hassle as I already pressure can other low acid foods.  usually just mix the sauce jars in when I'm doing a batch of...

well, that is good news.  it will be a while before i can try it.  try it i will though.    different topic:  i was gifted a badly freezer burnt mixed bag of reapers, ghosts, jalapenos, and hebenaros.  that was about two years ago.  as soon as i got them i thawed and smoked them.  then proceded...

austin, have you decided which of the different phenotypes you will be continueing? or do you plan on using them all to make f2, then start the selection proccess?   in particular to this   Multiple phenos of Aji Inti ( lemon drop x inca berry)

I could see using them to prevent unwanted cross pollination. 

i am new to this.   could i make a fermented hot sauce, strain the liquid and bottle for one batch,  then use the solids to make a second batch of vinegar based hot sauce?  or would the solids not retain much flavor?  maybe more peppers would need to be added?

look inot animal breeding as well as plant breeding.  you will start to notice universal standards when it comes to true breeding lines.   plants have an advantage because you can keep choice parents alive indefenately.  you cant just chop a horses leg off and grow a geneticly identical horse...

    that is the point i would suspect genetic depression might occure.  not sure if that is the proper term.   new genetics need to be intoduced from time to time.  this is where back crosses, or outcrosses to geneticly simmilar but not direct decendands are valuble to maintain a true growing...
