This is one I am going to want to try to grow at home. It sounds really good. I want lots of seeds so I can start them all and pass them around when they get a couple pairs of true leaves. I will watch for news about getting the seeds, here. Growing the hottest peppers in the world is always...

Autism spectrum disorder must have become cool or something. I have read that it has gotten to be close to 1 in 50 now. When I was young it was still 1 in 10,000. If what is wrong is so minimal that it is subtle and easily overlooked by psychiatrists, a person is better off without being...

Propranolol - the blood pressure medication - helps with autism spectrum disorders. It is also prescribed for stage fright. It helps with some of the components of autism spectrum.

The newest DSM has eliminated different categories like Aspergers. It is all autism spectrum disorder now. Even PDD NOS. The category used to be pervasive developmental disorder and autism was the harshest diagnosis in the category. It frequently occurs with learning disorders along with it. One...

The plant is about a foot tall and it has nice green leaves. There isn't a lot of air circulation, but there is some when the heat comes on. The soil is a Miracle Grow potting mix that protects against over- and under- watering. The plant is currently propped up. I am watching for signs that...

Today after coming home from a 13 hour work day I found my Carolina Reaper bent over at the base of the main stem. It looked like it had tried to grow up toward the light, but where the stem was pinched by the fall it looks dry. It won't stand up on its own; I have taped it to a standing...

That's good to know. I have a friend who likes to garden outside and there are a few neighborhood cats that won't leave his garden alone.   My cat likes garlic.   Anything to repel small children? Immature adults? I could grow my plants outside when it gets warmer.   Does anyone know if I am...

Yes. The Blazin Wings Challenge. The faster the time you eat the wings within 6 minutes, the better. No drinks and no wiping your mouth. It sounded like I have to pay for the wings up front. It is just Blazin sauce, and it is supposed to have ghost pepper in it. I didn't do it last time because...

My neighbors kill plants when I put them outside. Otherwise I would give them the sun they want. The cat owns the windows and he likes to dig in potting soil.

I am thinking about trying the 12 wing challenge just to get the shirt. The sauce doesn't taste very good, but I believe I can eat it fast enough.

The ghost pepper was a seedling back in June. I had my first round of flowers drop off - to be expected from indoor growing. The plants are by the window for better photographing. The leaves are turned down because I have the lights next to the plants as well as above them and the ones on the...

The closest I have come is chopping up a ghost pepper and putting it in a bowl of food. I have even put in two ghost peppers in a single serving. I just didn't eat the pepper all at once.

Good to know. Thanks. I have a seedling of Jamaican Hot Chocolate going, too - and a couple to give away. I recently dissolved some epsom salt in water and gave it to my peppers because my Carolina Reaper was looking a bit yellow.

Maybe the local grocery stores would get better sales by picking a dozen or so varieties of hot peppers and letting customers vote for the top four or five to add. Get people talking about hot peppers and reading about them and thinking about what they would use them for - educate them - and...

If Robert receives seeds for free to get started, maybe he can pass them on when he gets to the stage of having pods with new seeds. Or even seedlings. Sprout some plants and give them out in coffee cups to other people who might enjoy superhots. Seeds really are cheap. Postage and envelopes are...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructose_malabsorption   It says that agave has slightly more fructose than high fructose corn syrup, and that it by far lacks the glucose to match it. It turns out that having equal parts glucose to fructose helps with absorbing the fructose. I saw someone buy a...

Instead of using agave, you should just buy corn syrup instead. It costs less and it is better for you.

That's so yin-yang.

How many genes are needed to produce capsaicins? Now that I know it is a mixture of chemicals, I would expect it to require multiple genes. Maybe they could just be added to bacteria or yeast or something to produce nearly limitless capsaicin, and it would be ideal for fermented sauces. Or to...

Unbend a paper clip or use a tack. A razor blade. The cap on a pen. It just has to be small and able to push through styrofoam.   Drip trays, though. I am still working on that.
