That is awesome and so cruel at the same time.

No, I have not been in contact with any pepper background processes on my computer. ;)

Thanks for helping me look on the bright side Andy.  Thanks for watching my reviews.  I wish I could get myself back in the game, but time really hasn't been on my side these past couple of years, and the last year I did do reviews, even though my mouth could tolerate the heat, my stomach was in...

Thanks Chuck!  I'm confident they'll be fine.  And yes, I definitely need to get on more often.

  Yep, sure am.

Thanks a lot!  Unfortunately, I've had to give up the review game.  Time constraints get in the way and my stomach really can't take eating the raw superhots whole any more.   Thanks Jamie.  I hope they do.  Probably gonna keep up with weekly doses of nutrients just to be safe though.

  Yeah, I remember Gary doing that.  And I expected the N deficiency last year, but was hopeful that this year would be different.  But it doesn't appear so.

Once again, I'm slacking on my updates.  Life getting the better of me, I suppose.  Anyway, the peppers didn't fare so well after their transplants into the soil.  They started showing signs of N deficiency.  And to top it off, I waited too long to react, thinking perhaps they just needed to get...

        If you can't lid and screen it, another option is to put mosquito dunks in it.

I'm in Lexington, and they actually have a government supplied rain barrel program.  Here's a link to it:  http://www.lexingtonky.gov/index.aspx?page=1816.  It included all the parts it needed except for the flexspouts needed to connect to my house's downspout and to drain the overflow from the...

While they may not specifically address CARDI's claim, TriniHottie is Sarah R. (can't remember her full last name), who is from Trinidad and Tobago.  She has been integral and spreading the Trinidad varieties (IE 7 Pot, Scorpion, etc.) throughout the world.  Many varieties bear her initials...

Happy Birthday Jamie!  :cheers:

The Moruga Scorpion was originally named "Trinidad Scorpion Moruga Blend".  I believe it was Jim Duffy that made the nomenclature of "Moruga Scorpion" popular when supplied the peppers to be tested by CPI.

As was mentioned before, cross pollination would only affect the next year's crop (assuming you plant seeds from pods you harvest from this year).  The fruit of this years crop would bear the genetic characteristics of the seeds you planted this year.  So it's most likely just a mislabeled plant.

 

Yep, perfectly normal.

I use Ramial Chipped Wood.  You can read up on the benefits here:   http://www.dirtdoctor.com/view_org_research.php?id=69

  Thanks John!     Thanks Chuck!  If I didn't have the community garden, I wouldn't have the space to grow near as many plants as I'd like.  It really has been a blessing.  And at $20/year, it's a real steal as well.

I'd say if you continue to notice a trend of the lower leaves yellowing, then you probably have a nitrogen deficiency.   Nitrogen is a mobile nutrient, meaning that if there is not enough present in the soil.  The plant will draw it out of the older leaves to help make the new ones.

Plants are hardened and all planted out now.   Here's a shot of all 3 subplots:   Right most subplot.  Contains Brown Moruga Scorpions (6) and 7 Pot Browns (6):   Middle Subplot.  Contains Yellow Brainstrains (2), Monster Naga (5), and Caramel 7 Pots (5):   Left most subplot.  Contains Brown...
