perfect. I think I'm going to try this on a couple plants this year and if I have good luck - I'll expand to more varieties next year.

Thank you for the reply. I wondered about how to do - now I have something to try and potentially save us a ton of money!

Throwing in one from last October (20th)... here is my Deck where the Superhots in buckets live (45 last year). This of course is the forest I want :) They typically get 5 foot to taller than me here (and I'm 6'5)

I'm sure like most other things this question has been asked before. I have tried numerous ways to save seeds but since I have 500 pepper plants (none of which are far from others), I have not had good success in doing this. This being why I buy new seeds every year. Plus only from seed...

so there are others as crazy as me :) Love it! Look forward to seeing how your grow pans out!

As you likely noticed, I am using sticks with F and a date on them to keep track of when I fertilized. With nothing in the soil, I started with the FoxFarm Grow Big at very diluted level about a week after initial transplant - then upped some of those last night to about half-to full dose...

Transplants so far are looking good. My germination rate was about normal - somewhere in the 90-92% rate - but will know more once I get the other 14 trays transplanted (4 of those trays are tomatoes) - so 10 more pepper trays to go. Greenhouse will be next for most of these (with heaters as...

Garage setup (with some transplants on them). As of a few days ago.. (has since filled in)

Transplanted these Helios a little earlier than normal as wanted to see how my new experiment with the dirt was working (in regards to roots). I am making my own seed starting mix for the first time (peat, perlite, vermiculite) and transplant mix (peat, perlite, vermiculite, compost) and wanted...

My small setup inside as of Feb 11th.

First Carolina Reapers popping up (started 56). By time the rest popped up - I have 52 - all transplanted now into 3.5" peat pots/plastic pots (those pics coming later). This was Feb 8th. Superhots were started Jan 27th.

Yes, the wife calls it a slight obsession :halo: Ok so pictures start now. Will do best to explain where we are with each one. (as I am going back a few weeks)

I've been told for years that my craziness should be documented somewhere. Well, I'm going to attempt it. Each year I like to start at least 3 times what I am planning for myself. I do fill 3 other (neighbors and family) gardens as well but even so have tons of plants. And on average I have...

funny you should mention the Thunder Mountain Longhorns as this is the first time I have attempted to grow them and have noticed the seedlings (unlike the other 1600 Hot Peppers I started) - are a little leggy. When it comes to transplanting, I do bury a little of the stem in the...

I am surprised with all the comments for bhut jolokia. Maybe the first time I grew them I had some odd seeds cause I hated the flavor. Just seemed like a burnt nothing. On superhot front I will grow Carolina Reaper, Trinidad Scorpion Moruga, Apocalypse Scorpion, Butch "T" Scorpion and usually...

It does matter what type of lighting you are using. I have several "shop" lights that I have to keep much closer to plants and some LED's I purchased from Amazon that can be much higher. To be honest, I've always adjusted by what the plant is telling you. You want a few inches away from Shop...

I'm certainly not an expert on seed starting as I've been reading all the different methods and my head hurts ;) Some i had never heard of! I have however had very good success with putting seeds in a plastic cup of lukewarm (at time of pouring) distilled water and leave overnight. I...

I have added that to my plan next year after reading more about it here. I had toyed with it a couple times, but I already have seeds on hand now for '24. Looking forward to that being one of my new additions - and from sound of it, I likely will be growing again. I love flavor in peppers and...

I'll let you know. I have a few more Habanero Jellies to make and some to dry - but if I do have too many - I certainly will reach out. I could have hooked you up for sure about a month ago. I was trying to figure out what in the hell to do with 8 gallon bags of them in my freezer (I know...
