    chinense bhut jolokia / naga jolokia

    I thought it was the same chili and the name difference came from which side of the river (or mountain, depending on source) that it was found on. To throw more confusion into it... what about Bih jolokia?

When I order pad thai spicy...

    SL, that may have started out ghetto but it ended up pro, that is a wicked set up. Yep, silliman, that is pretty tough to beat. I have since bought and added a 24w t5 sunblaster flourescent. Also for the grow challenge I have a smaller set up :-)
