Absolutely great advice re: the tail/blossom end. Rich in flavor, but barely any cap or placenta down that far... So yeah, that's good advice. And yes, JPGS is a pretty toasty pepper. A lot of heat on those...

That's rad. Last I checked his site, seemed like most seeds were selling at $6... & Freebies are always good. Doesn't negate the experiences I've had with him on Social Media, nor the weird shady stunts he pulled a while back, during the Pepper X hysteria.

As I see it, heat and flavor are two theoretically independent variables. Flavor is detected by your taste buds and it occurs whether you're burning up or not. "Heat," in terms of chiles, is just pain you're feeling in your nerve endings due to how they interpret the presence of capsaicinoids...

Oh and PS I dropped off a couple pounds of nice-sized ripe, red Zapotecs at the local cantina the other day. Few days before that, I dropped a bunch of at the local BBQ to be smoked. Those things just keep on pumping out delicious, beautiful, juicy pods and I'm loving this season so far.

From Duffy's site, I presume? "Zapotec Jalapeno-(Capsicum annuum)-The Zapotec Jalapeno is an Old World Jalapeno from Oaxaca, Mexico. It was one of the many older peppers that date back to the time of the Aztecs. But why you are seeing it now is because it has a story. I obtained mine from...

Dude, some of my TFMs dwarf my other yellow Bonnets. Only bigger Bonnets I've grown were Freeport Orange last year. This year, my Freeports are way more modest sized, so far. But the TFM jawns are the biggest yellows I've grown, so far. But I've been getting big Dreadies this year, and some of...

This is a good discussion. I love hearing about food in other parts of the world-- all cuisine, in general, but especially dishes, sauces, and such that involve chiles. I will try to remember ask the shit in growing this year. There's quite a lot: -Zapotec Jalapeños -Five different strains of...

That looks great, SMDS. After some early ugly ducklings, most of my Dreadies look really nice... Classic Bonnet shapes with cool spiky/warty surfaces.

Fyi, I know someone who placed a substantial order with CARDI, and it never shipped. And CARDI refused to refund the payment. So, as always, caveat emptor. I was set to place an order till I heard that story.

Well, my Dreadies are producing some very pretty pods. Proper phenos, with some spiky/warty textures, just i like them. I hope this link works for some pictures...

I'm in Zone 7B. Same for me, I reckon: end of August thru Halloween. I'd be happy to send you a box if you cover the shipping cost, once I start getting overrun. ☠️️☠️️

Developed in NYC, 1992. Hth https://youtu.be/5KWcL5UKdVc

That's pretty much the exact concept, but I guess inverted bc of the whole golf vs baseball thing... I was about to open my own burger joint called "Six Guys."

I have been physically removing dropped petals from the tiny newly developed pods. Seems to work quite well

Yeah what he said, but I'll admit that I'm surprised that nobody's tried to develop a particularly intense strain and marketed it as an "8Pot."

Nope not at all. Green is, generally speaking, unripe. You can kinda almost trust SHU specs, if they're coming from a reputable source and you know that there can be a lot of variation within a given strain, plus your own perception might not jive with the Scoville scale. For instance...

Yeah, the weather here in 2019 has been superficially similar to 2018, with frequent rain and high temps, but last year the rain was frequent and lasted for hours at a time, sometimes all day. This year, were getting frequent hard but brief showers, which has actually just been convenient. Last...

My best TFM plants have like five times as many pods on'm as my best Dreadies do, so...

I've got plenty of ripe Dreadies so far but the per-plant production levels lag behind the rest of my Yellow Bonnets significantly. They've been doing well with all my Yellow Bonnets focus group tests as of yet...

Exactly. "You don't grow regular peppers?!?".
