Good info, thanks for posting.

Yes, all of them.

I didn't soak these F7W, but I'm doing a comparison of no soak vs. a multi-step soak with some of my oldest seeds. If I get any interesting results, I'll post about it somewhere. A peroxide soak is part of the process.

I planted 75 F7W yesterday. No sprouts yet, though.

I have, a few years ago. No complaints here. They have another thread in the vendor vault with a few more replies: http://thehotpepper.com/topic/27218-anyone-ever-dealt-with-sandia-seed/

If you're talking about the technical definition of water activity, adding any water, distilled or not, will increase it. (I think.) The wiki article may shed light. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_activity If you just mean water reactivity in general terms, I personally would use...

You've gotten a lot of good responses while I was writing my own. There's some repetition here of what others have said. If there's any contradiction, go with what SL or THP have to say. That said, here's my response: If you want to grind everything together, seeds included, a commercial...

 True, assuming you can apply heat at the same rate every time. With a gas burner, that can be problematic. I've discussed with the facility manager installing a mass flow controller on the gas line for the gas burners I use to make my pepper candy. So far he hasn't been receptive to the...

To stay in good graces with the FDA you'll need to document your finished product's pH, possibly water activity and maybe even Brix. As all those change as the sauce reduction proceeds, any one of them could serve as a end point parameter. Depending on the sugar content (added or otherwise) of...

Those metallic long-legged flies will help with the aphid problem. They may not be as voracious as ladybugs, but they're still good to have. http://www.floridagardener.com/critters/Beneficial_Insects/Dolichopodidae.htm Glad you like the candy. There's more where that came from.

Beautiful harvest. Are those orange ones habanada?

Just updated the grow list in my profile. Right now it has only two categories, self-saved seed, mostly from last year, but a couple older (that may or may not germinate), and new for this year. Some of those I've grown before, but lost during the dark years. If/when I get the list more well...

That's the spirit! Better order soon, I might fall in a well before June.

Plants are looking good, Shane, even with the over-watering setback. About that BioAg link, I need to post a disclaimer/warning. Quoting myself here, so the link is readily at hand. I don't know if that link works for everyone the same way, but when I click on it, I encounter a pop-up asking if...

Hey, Tom, glad to hear at least some of the plants are hanging in there.  I looked back at my notes and that was last May when I sent the plants and candy sample.  The candy is vastly improved now, imo.  Not as crumbly and more consistent batch to batch.  Also, appropriately packaged and labeled...

If you're willing to pay the postage, we can give it a try now. I recently inquired at the Post Office about shipping some to New Zealand. I was mailing a Small Flat Rate Box containing a bit more than a pound and a half to elsewhere here in the States. For that very same box, postage to NZ...

I'll have plenty later on. Will likely begin starting seeds this Sunday. If you're looking for something right away, I can't help.

Rest in Peace, Opportunity. We will miss you.

Let me rephrase that. "Serendipity surprises with superior sweets." Further taste testing confirms people like it. Nevertheless, I'll honor the previous offer: "For $7.90 for a SFRB, I'll ship from three to eight 4 oz bars of Strawberry Banana and/or Lemon flavors for $1 per bar. For one...

Seeds arrived today. Thanks for the fast service, Trent. And thanks for the freebies.
