  I agree with you, but I nor my mindset are the problem. The litigious society we have become and the "something for nothing" mentality so many have is the problem. I have assets to lose in a lawsuit and I also do not want to have to invest the time or money into an attorney to defend me from a...

  The only problem with a counter suit is that you can't get blood from a stone. If that person has no money to cover your expenses you are outta luck.   There are plenty of verified stories out there of someone breaking into a home, injuring themselves in the process, then proceeding to sue the...

  Funny enough I was just about to post the same thing in a new thread. I too bought a "Carolina Reaper" from Home Depot at the end of March. It is now over 3 feet tall with pods everywhere. Although none of mine have ripened yet the pods look identical to yours. Looks like whoever supplied Home...

  Of the two Carolina Reaper plants I have, this happened to one of them a couple weeks ago. After spraying with diluted dish soap, one of my plants started dropping leaves and new growth was just dying off as fast as it was sprouting. That plant that started dropping never recovered.   I had...

Two places for me.....it's hard to pick the better one here as they were two times of food and two different types of heat.   One place was Wings n' Curls in Hollywood Florida which closed a few years ago. They had wings in their homemade Scotch Bonnet sauce called Caribbean Hellfire and also...

  I love incredibly spicy food way beyond most people's limits and some of the stories in this thread make me look like a giant wimp. Making a batch of chili one time, my buddy and I each ate 1/4 of a raw orange habanero from the grocery store and It wrecked both of us for a good while after the...

Thank you!

  It's not you. I literally had the same issue yesterday. 6 attempts typing what I was absolutely reading before I got it right. Welcome!

                            Thank you everyone!

  Awesome. At the rate they are growing now they should be quite big by that time. Just for the sake of experimenting, I harvested the seeds from 4 Scotch Bonnets I didn't end up using in my last batch of chili and tossed them in a paper towel to see if any would germinate from the store bought...

  Depending on where in Sunrise we may be very close. I'm in Pembroke Pines off of I-75. Both Reaper plants are about 20 inches tall now and got a bit leggy. About a week after working up the nerve to do some cutting, the plants still look quite sad after pruning but have quite a bit of new...

Hey everyone. I've always loved spicy food and hot sauces but never tried my hand at growing. Wandered across some Carolina Reaper plants at my local Home Depot a few weeks ago and couldn't resist giving it a try. I've been lurking here since and have soaked up a ton of useful information...
