I tripled my production last year and expanded to about 400 plants. I only have so much room in the greenhouse, so next year, the number will remain the same. I will be expanding the types and reduce the numbers of certain types, like cutting back on reapers. Expanding killer chocolates. Tom

A few months ago I pulled some 6 year old Bhut Jolokia seeds and got somewhere close to 90% germination. From my own seeds, I have never had less than 70%. Tom

I use paper packets because they breathe, unlike plastic bags.( even though plastic does breathe a little) I use the free envelopes you get from the bank. I label each one for type and date and put them in a mason jar. I put indicating desiccant in the bottom of the jar. It absorbs the moisture...

Looks too green on the inside. I am betting that one isn't going to taste that great. I just noticed I have 3 small ones starting on one of the many plants. From finally! Tom

Just checked, my message area was full. I found some I have never seen before. I just found two offers for chocolate habs I needed last month. You should be able to message now.

I would love to try these peppers. The guys at hot pepper night will have something new to burn their faces off. Let me know when they are ready and how much you want and I can paypal some money over. Tom

Yea, reapers and primos are both hotter than brains. They have a different type of heat that feels more like a chemical burn. Red brains are just under though. I haven't found anything between these in heat. Primos are my favorite! The chocolates are great too. Tom

I'm going to buy the Chad type and the type he says is just like the SM type. I have Judy's, and I have the UK type. I'll have all 4 going at the same time and bring them all to hot pepper night and we will get a lot of opinions on heat and taste. Bhutlahs make some of the most mellow, but hot...

AJ, I don't know if Steven has had a bad experience with Troy directly or not. He has partnered up with Ed. There are many people choosing "sides" in the pepper world right now. People who were friends with Ed on Facebook and have either said something good about Troy and his peppers are being...

That's because it isn't new. There are lots of people who are just into what is new. I try a lot of new things. I find out they aren't anything special, and I move on. But the people selling what is new got my money. But that is OK because I sell peppers to people who want to try new things, so...

How about powder? I know a guy out your way selling reaper powder for $125 a kilo. Might get a better deal if you wanted a bunch of them, but I wasn't interested in that much. Tom

Probably Douglahs have been used more often than anything else. Douglahs taste better than most of these new ones I have tried. More often, I would say chocolates have a smokey taste. I think Douglahs have a more complex taste than most of these new ones as well. Douglahs can vary depending on...

I got a Nesco and I do them at 136. I start checking them out at about 10 hours and sometimes it takes an extra hour. Talk about humidity, mind is in the garage and I am in Florida. Bottom line, when really crispy, they are done. Any of that flexibility you mention, check a half hour after that...

Well, I just saw the video pop up again on Facebook. 17 million views. Whether you like him or not, this one made him fairly well known, if not famous. I don't think I want to be famous for doing something stupid, but I'm not a fire breathing idiot either.

His new video has somewhere between 400k to 500k views where many of these people get less than 1000. He may do crazy things now a days, but he is getting massive views on this one. He also made news in, I think, the New York Times media. Regardless on what you think about him, or what he does...

I have grown red Brain Strains that came directly from Cappy for more than a few years. As others have said, genetics will vary. It is the same with any peppers. It is one of my favorite super hot peppers. We have a group that meets every Monday night that eats hot peppers, and many times, we...

I think we are going to see more oranges. Some of these have a great taste that will be perfect for sauce people. BOC is great. Tony's Carbonero and the orange Freeport Scotch Bonnet are also great taste winners. We are also seeing an up trend for new chocolates. Lots of good ones. Looking...

Seeds went out today for 3 of you. I found out today that top heavy, 5 foot tall pepper plants don't do worth a crap against a hurricane. I got the seeds out though. Tom

Among other peppers tried out on Monday night, chocolate Brain Strains from Cappy's genetics, and the chocolate Primos. Both were fairly oily peppers. The brain strains were pretty hot but started a bit weak and grew for a minute or so. The Primos were super hot from the first second you tasted...

Clicking the area that says you promise not to sell anything that comes from the seeds is a verbal contract and is just as valid as a written contract. Whether anyone acts on the breach of contact is another thing. I honor my contracts and my word is good. So, if I promise not to sell anything...
