Cool! I choose 01.

Ooh - pick me, pick me!

I'm growing them this year. I don't expect them to grow true, but it will be fun to see how they end up.

Sounds like the season I had a few years ago, I had nothing but flower drop the whole season. Peppers finally stared to form at the end of August, which was way too late. Don't give up trying, this year I'm having the best season I've ever had.

Good advice Aiden, thanks. I checked my bottle and ingredients and quantity don't match what is shown on the web site... I made my first small batch, here's what I used: 8 Jamaican Hot Chocolates and 8 Fatalii Black, heavily smoked with cherry wood. 1/2 large onion 2 tsp garlic salt (I didn't...
