This made me laugh out loud.pepperguy1 said:
I am also a noob, but have done a lot of reading hear & elsewhere, have sampled a good number of pods & have collected a bunch of seeds. I think you will be very satisfied with that list. There's always that "one more" pepper, but looks like a good list to me.arrgh said:

Yes. I know all about that. If my wife ever divorces me, peppers will defiantly be mentioned in court. We just had an incident last week. I very carefully added an extract to my chile. The next day my wife had it all over her face and nose. I swear I didn't spill any, but the circumstantial evidence was pretty damning
I just placed my order. I was looking for 4 varieties. I ended up getting 18! SInce pepperlover.com is known to give allot of freebies, I could end up with 24 varieties, with only room for 24 plants. And I definitely want more than 1 of some of them. I have no idea where I'm planting them all, but I expect my wife's flowers might suffer from an unexplained weed-eater accident
I tried to order using the information from this thread but allot of the ones I wanted were out of stock. Specifically jays peach ghost/scorpion, 7pod burgundy, and sb7j caught my attention but weren't available.
I ended up with way to many reds. .But that is what was in stock. Its mostly just an aesthetic issue anyway.
For those interested, I ended with
Carolina Reaper
Trinidad Scorpion Moruga (Yellow)
Trinidad Douglah
White Fatalii
Yellow Fatalii
(MOA) Scotch Bonnet
7 pod red hell collection
original, brain, barrack, primo, jonah
ultimate bhut collection
Red Bhut Jolokia
Brown Bhut Jolokia
Yellow Bhut Jolokia
Peach Bhut Jolokia
Indian Carbon Jolokia
White Jolokia
Bih Jolokias
I shouldn't get bored of the bhuts. Since the absolute most I can plant outside is 1 each. I want at least 5 scotch bonnetts (since thats the only one I'm able to eat fresh), and 3 of the reaper,maruga, and Douglah. Even stealing room, 30 plants is the max I can put out, so I suspect a few bhuts, and a couple 7 pods won't make the cut.juanitos said:
I doubt I will do a glog. My equipment(and funds to buy) are almost non existent, my indoor space is low, and my knowledge is just as bad. I hope to fix the knowledge problem by studying here. But I will always have to do everything in the cheapest way possible.Spicegeist said:

Basically my confidence of success is low, and I would be embarrassed to post pics of my slowly murdering my peppers. I will take pictures as I go, for my own use. Maybe if I end up with great plants I will post an after the fact picture series.

You make an interesting point if all you do is eat fresh peppers but I'd have to concur with arrgh (cool name). In limited space, go for the superhots especially if your budget is minimal. You can always mellow out with bell peppers or a variety of fruits depending on what you're making. There are lots of ways to store or preserve peppers so you don't lose any when they all ripen at the same time.Datil said:
I've learned the opposite. Too many superhots plants were useless to me, for me it makes more sense producing more "cheaper" peppers that produce faster/easier and grow a couple superhots just for the novelty of new (or supposedly 'new') varieties.
You can easily buy a pack of superhot powder or dried pods from THP folks if needed.
The ultimate bhut collection is nice though
Good luck
