I notice from many of the pix posted here that most growers' plants are bushier and shorter than mine. What's the secret? Pruning? If so, what's the best method? If not, what else works? I've got gro-lights on mine in the dorm room....as I did last year. I turn on the lights when I get up in...

Hey, all. I've been absent for most of the last year. Being in med school cuts into my posting time. Anyway..... I've read several posts about Trinidad Scorpions, and I am intrigued. If anyone would be willing to part with some seeds, I would be grateful. As a novice growing, the only seeds I...

Sorry I've been absent the last couple of months, but I got a 2 month summer vacation (my last) after completing my first year of med school, and my wife and little girl got all of my attention. I posted a few threads back in winter and spring, and started some plants in my dorm room. Thanks...

Hey, yall. Our grocery store started getting in the most awesome habaneros I've ever seen locally. Instead of the thin-walled puny orange habs normally sold locally, these look like caribbean reds I've seen down in the islands. They are gorgeous and meaty. Anyway, I bought some extras for...

Got plants coming in (yeah!) in my Jiffy boxes. Some are already on their 4th-5th sets of leaves. Question: when should I transer the jiffy pellets to small pots? Question: when should I start to consider plant food? Question: is miracle grow okay, or is there a better plant food for peppers...

I was searching for choc. hab seeds online, and came across a couple on interesting sites. Problem was, one insisted on cash only (don't know him from Adam) and the other was tagged by my anti-virus software as a phishing scheme. When I clicked on the paypal reference link, it said that they had...

I don't know why, but I have never eaten a habanero. Well...I know it is because of a healthy respect for the heat of the pepper. It doesn't make sense, though, because I chop up a hab. to put in my sat. morning omelet every weekend...so I started thinking that maybe I could handle the heat. On...

Hi, all. I've grown small plots of habs of various varieties through the years at home. As I am in med school now, that will not be possible (until late May, when I'm done for the year). As such, I have secured some Naga seeds (Thanks, Pepp3rFreak!!). My plan is to grow several plants in my...

Hello, all. While in Asheville (NC) last weekend, I came across a vendor who had, in addition to other natural products, several hot sauces. Being a collector (as most know), I bought one of each of 4 sauces, plus an extra of his hottest to try for myself. I find myself now wishing I had...

Hello, all. Being stuck up here in a teeny town (Cumberland Gap) with no access to fresh peppers, I'm going to attempt to grow some plants in my dorm room next semester (which begins around Jan. 7) I'd like to heat up the med school, if you know what I mean. I would like to acquire some...

My mom brought me back a bottle of hot sauce (2 actually..she knows I collect). Tonight, I was excited to try this puppy out. I don't know how to post pictures, so I'll explain. The sauce is Fig's One Drop Hot Sauce, made for Figueroa Bros. out of Dallas. The bottle has a dropper in the cap...

I'm looking for a good, representative Naga Morich sauce. 2 bottles. One to try, one for my collection. I tried to get some of the Snake venom I've seen listed in here, but it is apparently sold out (for the moment) Any producers out there want to part with a couple of bottles? I've been out of...

I was contemplating a particularly tricky situation I've found myself in of late.....(Joe and Lynn would understand). After several hours in the gross anatomy lab, what sauce, when added to my dinner, do you think would best remove the stench of formalyn from my nose (which thus affects my...

Just received my Zero Batch #3 today. What a nice presentation!!! The wood and glass display case is a nice touch. Review: I have posted a review a few months ago on this site....scroll down the threads, and you'll find it. Ingredients: You ask the creator....I'm not going to.... This will...

Ingredients: vinegar, tomatoes, onions, habanero chiles, garlic, serrano chiles, spices, salt, and sugar. I've tried this a few times at the Pepper Palace (Gatlinburg) and liked it, so I thought I would buy a bottle and give it a real test drive. Actually, I am surprised by how flavorful this...

Okay, y'all are a pretty sharp bunch when it comes to peppers....particularly those of you who produce sauces and other various instruments of heat delivery. I've seen posts indicating that the acidity has to be just right, or bacteria, etc. can grow in your sauce. I also know (via biology) that...

I'm a little miffed today. I received a package from Blair's that I had been anticipating....a bottle of Salsa de la Muerte, a new T-Shirt, and a jar of Blair's Queso. I opened up the box, and all that was in there was the sauce. No explanation, no nothing. In essence, I paid $13.00 for a bottle...

I tried an interesting sauce last night. It's called Chocolate Habanero Sauce by Pepper Palace (of Gatlinburg, TN). I have grown chocolate habs myself, and they are an interesting pepper, but this is the first actual choc. hab. sauce I have tried. Some may not like this sauce because it is...

On my way home from Knoxville last weekend, my wife and I decided to stop in Gatlinburg for the evening. While there, we stopped by my favorite store....the Pepper Palace. I don't know if any of you know these guys, but they are really nice. When you walk in the door, they have at least 10...

In my house, we have a new tradition that my kids love.....breakfast for dinner. As the title implies, they can have whatever breakfast foods they want....for dinner. Anyway, I've been on an omelet kick the last few weeks, and wanted to share this with y'all (even though I'd bet more than half...
