I am going to be doing some more reading on this, but how does one utilize these plants?  Ie, do you just plant near your peppers, really close and in between, on the perimeter?  I have a 20'x40' garden and been having slug issues.  Its been super rainy, and I live in a very heavily wooded area...

Today is a very welcome day for me.  The sun is shining.  First time growing in ground, and so far between the constant rain and slugs/snails I am very surprised I have plants left at all.  Plus, it dips into the forty's almost every night still.  All things considering, out of 50 plants, I only...

Oops, duplicate post

Way up in Bangor ME I have quite a few(for me) started indoors. Grow List 2017 Aji fantasy Murupi amarela 7 pot primo yellow 7 pot lava yellow Butch T scorpion Carolina reaper Chocolate ghost Moruglah 7 pot barrackpore chocolate Fatalii yellow Fatalii jigsaw Butch T yellow 7 pot Jonah...

Everything is looking great!!  What are the dimensions of the pots you are using?  I was going to use the good old solo cups, but I like square things better.  Thanks!

  A little update:  So far, most of everything has popped.  Having issues with red fatalii and red bhut not germinating.  Which surprises me, since some more typically finicky types are were ready in a week.  But, all else considering, moving along quite well.  I can't wait till they have leaves...

Looking for dried paprika peppers I discovered they were hard to come by. At least none of my food vendors could get any(story of my life up here) and Google only gave me foreign trade sites. So, I guess I'll be adding them to the grow list. What varieties have you guys grown, and what's good...

@ stettoman, yes, I have checked out the throwdowns.  Actually made a il diavolo deep dish for this past one, but I was entertaining company and didn't have the time to put together a good pic/recipe walkthrough.  And I thought one dish wasn't really good enough to enter.  Plus, I was rooting...

Hello everyone!!  There is like 30" of snow falling outside and we are only half way though this fabulous blizzard, so I figured I'd get my seeds started.  A little background:  I'm a chef at a internationally inspired bistro in Bangor, ME.  Meaning I do French, Italian, Asian, South American...

OK, one more general question. For germinating at a larger scale, so you use the wet paper towel method, or start them in a smaller seed tray and transfer to pots? I was thinking of using flat Tupperware with paper towels, and using my lights as a heat source. Seems easier than bags, and I...

 I too started plants in November with the hopes of growing pods indoors.  I ran into issues with pots size, some nutrient confusion, and time issues.  All those plants were about 2' tall and flowered vigorously, but they all dropped.  Due to timing, I retired most of them to house plants, where...

Hey everyone!  My grow list is finalized and seeds are all here, now just need help to decide on a few things.  According to our county horticulturist(a friend knows this person) our frost free date is May 20th.   Question 1).  The slip of paper that came with the seeds(refining fire) stated...

If this could be moved to "growing hot peppers" forum, that would probably be better.  Meant to post it there.  Thanks!

I have read all the threads on "best tasting super hot", etc.  Seems there are too many opinions on the matter, and my own tasting seems to mirror many of the common favorites.  So I won't go there.  What I am more interested in is:  In the culinary world, flavor should be the most important...

Hey everyone!!  New to the board.  My name is Dustin, and I'm a Chef living in Maine.  I stumbled across super hots during this past summer when a friend of mine was growing some carolina reapers and ghost peppers in a green house and I bought up all he had.  Made sauces, chutneys, oils...
