Something about this seems kinda messed up, but I suppose whatever floats your boat.

Greetings  :P

    Very interesting - Thank you for sharing  :P  would love to see some pictures

I was in Lowes earlier and I was looking at clear pvc tubing and manifolds, but it seems like I could rig something up preeeetty cheaply. I'm going to wait till next year to really think about implementation but I wanted to do some research so I know what I'm looking at. Wonder if anyone has any...

Just wondering if anyone has any insight on this subject, as it relates to drying? Wondering if there are ways to preserve flavor when drying peppers.

Welcome - I am curious about your mention of tunnels- a particular style of greenhouse or just underground?

This may just a be a stylistic note - I guess I can't find a reference for what I'm thinking of right now, but consider making the word 'with' in 'with select chillies', slightly smaller. I think it seems to add a little something. I'm picturing a serif font for some reason, idk italian food...

  I would think that the back wall could be banked into a hill - you would benefit from the added insulation from the ground, and in addition, the back wall would not admit light anyways so it's really not an issue for that. I wonder if the amount that the wall could support would play into it...

from left to right we're looking at gengis kahn's brain, butch t yellow trinidad scorpions, then two strands of white fatalii, then cayenne, bahamian goat then two strands of what's so far the hottest one I've dealt with on any scale (there will be hotter, trust me) but they are peach ghosts and...

That's actually a really good idea - I had been thinking, should I put a fan blowing towards them, or would that dry them too fast? A shroud might help there, perhaps. I cut up 4 pounds and strung those and put a low speed fan going towards it but idk, I'll have to see. The lowest speed on that...

I'll update this thread once I've got a few pounds loaded onto it, I'll be doing a reasonably large harvest this weekend. Thanks again for checking 'er out.

  So I was looking at different options for my drying, but I've had great luck threading thais or halved/quartered peppers onto thread for drying purposes. I didn't have a great way to scale that up without filling the mantle at my parents house, so I spent a little bit of time thinking about...

  Neat - No chance I could get any pollen or seeds from you? I'd be happy to send you something in return, I've got a few hundred unisolated Gengis Kahn's Brain seeds that I've been collecting because of how good the taste is, you might be interested in those? Lots of others, I did 25 different...

  Cute little fella - That's got to be nice to have around, it's very dense for the size. Curious if there's any particular things that influence that?

I've got some pretty crazy growth this year -      This Habanero, only a year old - I've got bonsai plans for it.         These two red ghosts     And a very symmetrical Butch T Yellow Trinidad Scorpion     Anyways - hope to see what everyone's got going on
