Think I have it figured out. The one plant that produced a handful of pods with tails is stunted compared to the other Fatalii plants. All of its pods are on the small side compared to the others which are now obviously Fatalii plants. Maybe it is retaining petals longer causing the tails due...

They are hot. Thought it was just first ripe pod syndrome so I ate another one. Nope, they are really hot. Throat searing, ear ringing, snot slinging hot. Tasted like a bitter orange hab though. The Bhut is courtesy of the Hippie. All kudos go to him.

So, I expected that Fatalii pods were supposed to be yellow. Mine are orange and several have tails. OOPS! Is this possible for true Fatalii peppers, or are these a cross? I have 5 plants and there seems to be some variation in pod shape between them, one plant has smaller pods with a couple...

I've heard mucho nacho are hotter than average and larger than average. I assume very similar to biker billy. I'm growing both of them this year and will let you know. The biker billy peppers pack quite a punch for a jalapeno. They were very popular in my house, and offended many heat...

Biker Billy was the biggest, hottest, best tasting, and most productive out of Jalapeno M, Early Jalapeno, and Biker Billy strains I've grown.

I felt the same way last year. Had more plants than I needed, so I put half out a couple of weeks early and saved the other half just in case. Didn't have any weather problems, just cool nights (high 40s and 50s). Regular plant out time came so I decided to expand the garden and put the rest...

Don't you have the never ending supply of "pure" water outside right now? I walk 10 feet out the back door, take a couple of shovels of a drift, bring it inside, and melt it on the stove. Seems to work pretty well. I do plan on RO water here at the house. A magnet would attract a drop of my...

JJ. Keg cups. That brings back some good memories. I'm planning on using the same as well. I assume these pellets can just be planted intact. The netting appears to be a paper product and not plastic like other pellets. I've heard that some people cut the netting so as to not constrict...

I finally started the super hots and habs on 2/04/10. Here is the germination setup. A view of the Super Hots. And the habs

I started several plants to grow indoors this winter. Hopefully I will be able to harvest some seeds from these this spring. Here is a Bhut Jolokia I pruned to stimulate more bushy growth. An Orange Thai, because I want to try a fresh pod from one. A Fatalli, also because I'm curious...

After reading several other threads, I started getting nervous. I figured if Patrick was starting already, I'd better get my backside in gear. After growing the standard first timers peppers last year, I decided it was time to branch out a bit this year. My list so far includes: Bhut Jolokia...

For the spreadsheet: Planted 10 Scorpions from the Hippie in peat pellets on 2/4/2010, maintained at 87 degrees on a heat mat, four germinated so far, no ferts used, seeds were soaked 24 hours prior to planting.

Global Warming? I say thank God for global warming. I'd be frozen in a block of ice without it this year. Shortest growing season many farmers can remember, fifth coldest October and third coldest December on record, they say if we average 37 degrees F for the rest of winter we will be...

Count me in as well. I haven't started my seeds yet, cant plant out until early June. Well, I did start one T. Scorpion seed to grow indoors and isolate for seed, thanks to THSC.

I am not sure if they are the same as the peppers used for the powder. I think they are used in making the red pepper paste used in many recipes. I have only minimal experience with Korean cuisine, and we ate these peppers as a side dish with the meals I've had.
