You will aslo need(if wanting to do internet business): A registered(paid for) domain name for which THIS is the cheapest way: http://www.godaddy.com/

I'm still partial to the paper towel-sandwich baggie method. Jiffy starters etc saturate the seed in too much moisture and thereby slow the germination process regardless of temperature.
Edit:
Via moist paper towels the slowest germinating seeds(Thai, Bhut, Tepin, Piquin) show full germination...
I am wondering if anyone here knows just how bitchen' a guy you're all dealing with here. "I" have always had not only my answers but all of yours as well and I've always been the first to tell you about it. Yes, I am that bitchen! Or at least I thought I was.
I turned 40 this year. I have two...
5 to 7 gallon pots are indeed ideal for outdoor plants and the like BUT if this is your first season and depending on how early or late you've started your plants from seed you can get away with 3 gallon pots. Plants go dormant during winter and stop all growth unless some form of extended...
Sustained temperatures above 86 degrees F tend to kill whatever living enzymes and embryo's that are inside. You can give it a shot but chances are you've lost them. 120 degrees pretty much obliterates any livelihood within the seed.
Tanglefoot! If they're coming into the greenhouse from the bottom up you can use Tanglefoot. Tanglefoot is a pine-sap derivative that you dab along the base of each plant. It's sticky. They try crawling up the stalk and get stuck and come morning you'll find 6 or 7 of those rat bastard...
Thanks for your input everyone. I have 6 different landraces of seed that I'd brought from New Mexico and of all of the research that I've done and people I've spoken with I was repetitively informed that they wouldn't do well at sea level nor in a moist climate. News to me.
I've no idea who this guy is but I stumbled across these pictures on Flickr while looking for something else. I was blown away by them. This guy is hard-core! For all I know it's someone on this forum so if these were taken by you- my hats off to you. Good job!
I was very concerned when I'd...
I don't know if anyone else touched on this but most chiles and peppers are equatorials. The further north one travels from the equator the shorter the growing season; the later last-frost and earlier first frosts twoard the end of the year.
Ideally you want to start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks...
I'm gonna one-up this conversation. Dr. Paul Bosland(NMSU Chile Pepper Institute) released the Numex 'Heritage' Big Jim 2 years ago. What you may have are the standard Big Jim's BUT... the Heritage Big Jim's are one of the varieties that I am growing now just as I did last year in their...
Thank you everyone. I think that the ingestion of capsaicin somehow triggers the use of a different part of the brain that sidetracks the area where activity would otherwise be happening. I don't know. I'm not about to question 'how' it works. I am only grateful to have something readily...
