Hi, I am new to the hot pepper world. I had never touched a pepper or hot sauce until a few months ago, when I found myself addicted to dried thai hot peppers. I make stir-fry's frequently using them, much to my brother's disdain .
Anyway, I am a bit overwhelmed by the different types of hot peppers there are. I am looking for suggestions for pepper types to grow
for use in asian cooking, or for drying. I'm also looking for the best superhot for a beginner to try just for fun .
Also, I'm new to growing. I have two lil baby hybrid cayenne seedlings sitting under two fluorescent tube lights. They were bought here before I learned of the bad reputation this company has. They were originally planted in jiffy pellets/w humidity dome on top of a heater and were recently upgraded to plastic cups. The thing is, I have no idea how often to water these guys. I also realized that these guys will probably outgrow their current location before the last frost date. I will start any other seeds I get closer to Feb-March so I can get them outdoors soon enough.
Last thing, I have a pretty useless gift card from Christmas w/ 1.76 remaining on it. I am trying to find somewhere I can get some type of seeds for it. Found plenty on eBay, even after weeding out all of the Chinese wholesalers, but I am unsure of the reliability of eBay sellers. I've had mostly good experiences buying and selling on eBay, but I've never bought seeds there before.
