It took - come on down:     http://thehotpepper.com/topic/71335-dragon49s-2019-grow-log/

I started to sow a month ago and finally have something to show for it.  Here is the story before I get to the pictures:   Back in 2014, I got to enjoy the exquisite flavor and perfect heat of a Pimenta de Neyde x Bhut Jolokia - F6 Open Pollinated. I saved some seeds and grew it out the...

Your clarification about the plants history conforms that the ailment is most likely transplant shock.  I would give them partial shade, not full shade.  If you are home enough, maybe it will be easier to move them a few times day.  I can't speak for the bug damage; I'm not too good at getting...

Regarding the first two plants:   Were the plants grown indoors under lights and then suddenly brought outside into full sun?  If so, then they are indeed "shocked" by the effects of full sunlight.  I do agree with Speakpolish that you should give them shade.  If my suspicion is correct, then...

I refuse to start my 2019 GLOG until I see evidence of phototropism, but wanted to show this and ask for help:   With seeds planted in soil, after more than a month in soil, no sprouts have come up.  With a second batch -  after being treated to a twenty-four hour 1/9 hydrogen peroxide to water...

  I followed all of the correct drying and storage procedures EXCEPT for climate control.  The manila envelope with the seeds had been sitting in a basement linen closet.  Humidity wasn't a problem, (neither with the basement, nor with the storage) but I have no idea what the temperature was and...

How do you store them?

  OK - When it (hopefully) comes up, I'll post here and link to the beginning of my 2019 Glog.  The soil is from a freshly opened bag and is moist, so I didn't water at all - was mildly worried about pushing the root too far down.   I haven't grown from seed since 2015 and started getting...

I'm using the no fertilizer mix that I have.  It has a lot of perlite - I can see the white stuff all over the place.   I gently put the root in the middle middle of the pot; pushing it in a drop, and lightly sprinkled some soil over the seed head.     If the transplant takes, do you think the...

About to.   I have ordinary potting soil and potting soil with time-released fertilizer.  Which should I use?   Eagerly awaiting your reply :)   Ty

  I bought some Hydrogen peroxide (3% standardized) and some of my seeds a now getting a 1:9 peroxide to Evian 24 hour soak.   While I was going through the un-sprouted seeds, I found this small sign of life. Is this enough of a tail to put in soil, or should I add it to the main soak and wait...

I'm trying to sprout some of my Pimenta de Neyde x Bhut Jolokia (F8) - possibly crossed with a Yellow 7 pot seeds.  It's been three weeks and nothing.  I tried both soil and the wet paper towel (both sealed and unsealed) method.  Zero for fourteen so far!  The problem is that the seeds are from...

Thanks - I'll probably start a new "glog" sometime in April.  I don't want to jinx myself by mentioning the variety.  I'm pretty good at preserving seeds and sprouting though. :)    

My 2018 boring Superchile only season is long over.  Here are a few pics of the harvest.  Hopefully, next season will be much less boring:          

Welcome from NYC.   If you grow anything, please post pictures.

A few years ago, I grew two varieties in buckets:   1 - Pimenta de Neyde X Bhut Jolokia 2 - Yellow 7 Pot     The buckets were outside and literally right next to each other.   I collected seeds from around 70 different ripe PDN pods; each pod's seeds in a separately labeled Ziploc.   The Pimenta...

? -Pls elaborate.  

I appreciate the offer, but can't deal with garlic and shallots.  

If it contains neither extract, nor onions, nor garlic, I'll try it.  I just noticed the Australian chip I first posted about has garlic and onion powder - I despise onions and garlic.  

Re - flaming Doritos:   All I see that is hot in the ingredients is "... including Natural Extractives of Red Pepper."  I'm not a big a big fan of extracts (Except for Pure Evil  :) It seems to me that having this as the only hot ingredient is a cop-out.  Here is the full list:   Ingredients...
