WHEW! I've got a friend coming to visit in a few days. I ordered a ton of seeds online, sent to his house. :-)    

    How'd you know?!

I moved to Guadalajara, Mexico and brought all of my gardening/grow gear with me. I'm ready for action!   However, getting superhot seeds here is basically impossible. The only way to do it is to have friends from the USA bring them to us in their luggage.   Since all airport luggage (checked...

Nice! Can you grow year-round in Socal?      

I am between Lake Chapala and the city of Guadalajara, closer to the city. (Tlaquepaque)      

San Francisco/Sonoma (for 17 years!)    

And a really hot small "cherry" pepper that I've been playing with in California...     Next up: Starting the germ process for my Butch-T Scorpion seeds (saving the best for last!)  

Seed from my best red Ghost plant from the CA garden, showing signs of life in Mexico...          

The top is a frosted plastic, but the sides are made of a shade cloth that will allow for some cross ventilation. Hopefully this will keep it from getting too hot. If that happens I will install fans to get forced airflow during the daytime hours.      

We sold our house in California and moved to Mexico. My best seeds came with me, and I've got a spacious roof garden with tons of sun. Hopefully I'll have year-round growth and pod production, which will be something I'm not used to.   Does anyone know if that is the case? According to this map...

I would love to know more about your isolation method!     

Last year I had to go through an extended hardening off period. I would watch them get stressed out and start to wilt, and the move them into the shade. This year, though, I've put them in direct sun and they're not showing and signs of stress at all. Very confusing.

Most awesome answer ever.      

Awesome. Thanks! Luckily no diseased plants last year, and I won't be bringing any of this stuff inside.    

Thanks!      

Before I go ahead and (potentially) do something stupid, I'm wondering if anyone has any opinions on the re-use of soil used last year. Details that may influence your response:   Fox Farms Ocean Forrest mix - Used last season, outside Sat outside throughout the winter, several weeks of below...

Where did you get that data logging thermometer? I want several!         Ah, never mind - I just used this thing called "Google".   http://www.elitechus.com/temperature_logger/Elitech_USB_Temperature_Data_logger_URC_5_147.html

It only took 1 night of below freezing temps to kill all of my plants. I was a little late this year in getting the keepers moved inside (either that, or the freeze came too early.) The only plants that survived were ones that were covered and leaning up against the side of the house.   As an...

I just took your tupperware germination advice and my seeds are exploding like mad right now. Best results I've ever had! THANK YOU!!!      

I am going to try this experiment today. :-)
