I have 2 Red Rocoto's from seedsaversexchange.com flowering at the moment & one of them has purple streaks on the unripe green peppers, is this how they ripen or something else?
Thanks
2 ounces of ewc's per gallon
1 tsp. unsulphured black strap molasses per gallon
or you could simply make a earthworm casting slurry...2 ounces of castings per gallon & shake the shit out of it every few hours a day before using is how I do it.
The warmest of the two would be my suggestion. What are you germinating them in, soil, paper towel, etc? I wouldn't recommend a window sill especially in canada this time of year.

Thanks man , I think it will be fun growing them. I'm hopeing I get some nice sized ones this season for hot stuffed peppers.
Thanks Nigel, which ones are you growing?
lol Same here, I seen them for the first...
This will be my first year in very long time growing hot peppers & the main ones will be Red Manzanos & Red Rocotos with a few Biggie Chile Hybrid & Maule's Red Hot (Cayenne type) thrown in the mix.
So far I have these above soil and growing...

Not above...
No, I have not ordered from them. You can always buy seeds to grow comfrey you just have to cut the seeds off when they begin to form on the plant or else you'll have comfrey everywhere. You can also check ebay, someone may be selling root stock closer to japan.
Good luck
