    Next Season's selections

    I didn't save any seeds because I wasn't sure my source for the original seeds sent me pure strains, so I potted a Bhut and a Scorpion to winter over and will try my hand at taking cuttings to propagate. I will order seeds from sources that you all have posted as reliable for my next attempt...

    Dumb Question

    Thanks so much for the info and cautions I will definitely exercise caution, but I have a few guys who I see breaking a sweat with the wings I make with a Scotch Bonnet BBQ sauce, and they say it's no big deal so those are my victims. I cut open a bhut and scorpion last night and we just rubbed...

    Dumb Question

    My first attempt at growing super-hots is yielding some beautiful fruit, I have about 12 Bhut's and Scorpion's with fruit on. Every year we have about 100 teens over for a pool party and the older ones 18+(younger ones too but I won't feed them peppers)have been harassing me since I started my...

    Can't find a complete heat scale

    When I see the huge variety of peppers grown by members of this site, I'm amazed at the how many choices I have for next season. I have been trying to find a complete heat scale so I can choose next years seeds being better informed. Most places I search through have major gaps or...

    How long for peppers to mature

    I finally had some fruit set on my Bhuts and Scorps (tons of flowers) this past week. How long will it take to mature to a harvest-able size? I live on Long Island where the weather is 85-95 for the next few weeks then they will drop. Thanks

    Thank you all, I moved all the sprouts to a tray in my sun room (still in the 40s at night here ROTTEN SPRING)with a lamp from my old reef tank overhead. I had about 50% germination so far (but I'm only 10 days in) and plan on keeping then inside till late June (similar to how I treat my...

    sun When do I move to sunlight

    OK, so I started Bhuts,Trinidad Scorpions and some mystery seeds my son's friend swear are death. I built a hot bed from a galvanized can with a light bulb for heat and it kept bed temps at a constant 95 used seed starter plugs, after 7 days I have about 25% germination with 1/2 to 3/4 inch...

    seeds Seed starter

    I have had a a lot of success starting seeds of many types, last year someone hooked me up with a bunch of those little discs you soak that swell into self contained net pots. They worked great and transplanting was a snap! but I see the Bhut's I want to start can be a bit particular regarding...
