The Faria is a "common" farmed type, it is a commercial seed used by many farms for general market as it is supposedly robust and a high producer.

last couple days a lot them came up I have 8 out of 10 now after almost 3 weeks.

I posted earlier showing pics of Scorpions I grew from seed from TriniHottie, it was the post which included a pic of a local dollar bill. Yes and no, due to the tropical climate here there are a lot of whitefly and bugs which attack the peppers everywhere, its pretty bad by me too since we...

well I happen to live in Trinidad, lol but its been very rainy lately

Its been a while since I have been on these forums. I ordered and put some NMSU Bhut seeds to germinate a few weeks ago, they are taking real long to come up I put 10 seeds and so far only 6 have come up after 2 1/2 weeks If I recall early this year I had done the same and they all germinated...

Hey Folks, Been away from the Pepper forums for a while, so far it looks like the 100m race might be representative of some of the popular hot peppers (Jamaica, Trinidad) L

it is supposed to be a bonnet also. My theory is that the real bonnet peppers have the squashed bonnet shape but the crossbreeds etc tend towards a congo/habanero type shape which is where that one is headed

the actual available size is probably similar since the bottom 4 inches is used for the water reservoir there's loads of info available if you google "self watering container" or "diy earthbox" they all just started flowering I'll post pics of the next one I build

I planted a couple seasoning pepper plants in homemade self watering containers a while back. The growth difference has been significant. Look at this pic of the two plants in the containers and a sibling in a regular pot, all grown in promix.

its a small world, Trinihottie and myself are from Trinidad but I met her in another pepper forum and she sent me the seeds which are the same which she sent other people here I believe. If anybody else wants seeds they are most welcome of course.

took a pic of a Scorpion pod, from seeds Trinihottie gave me :) If anything all the pods are pretty much consistent in shape which is a bit strange since most of the peppers I grow have pods of all shapes and sizes.

not that they are hard to find but I was in the kinda resort area and so had to go to the main town market to find vendors. I also suspect that there is a lot of crossbreeding since many vendors say scotch bonnet but they look like regular trinidad congo peppers and dont have the squashed bonnet...

Coincidentally I've just returned from a great trip to the north coast of Jamaica. Was a bit of trouble finding scotch bonnets since the markets were a little far away but I got some, the red was hard to find but got one in the beach restaurant. The orange was also harder to find and I only...

promix works great, it is not too dense so the roots spread fast and the plant develops a good base my only problem with it however is that in pots if there is any wind the swaying eventually causes side to side compaction and the entire root/base gets loose in the pot
