Look like suntan to me. Nothing to worry about. Mark T

Hi Fellow Chilliheads, Its been close to 1 month since my last update. Things are moving fast. Aphids are around but under control. Notice some ladybirds hanging around as well. My initial set of pods were devastated by chilli loving bird who peck holes into so many of my unripe pods. To...

Hi Sri, Great place to grow peppers my friend. Keep us posted on your progress :-) Take Care Mark T

Congrats, :-) Mark T

Maybe try some Thai Hots? Mark T

I bought some seeds that was labeled as Yellow Scotch Bonnet. But upon further research it turns out that what I have is an annum variety and not a true scotch bonnet. It is known as Jamaican Yellow Mushroom. What a bummer.. Mark T

What about production rate or vigor of the variety? That could play a factor in going commercial? I am growing both butch T and morouga blend, both from TheHippySeedCo. I would say I have very good germination rate and also vigor for the Butch T. But that is from my personal limited...

Hi Sri, Sorry to see that. I came home a few days ago and found out birds have pecked holes in 80% of my superhot pods even though they are still green and unripe. Some people mention hanging old CD disc to ward off birds any idea? Mark T

Birds are eating my unripe pods

Hi Cappy Just want to say it is an inspiration to those of us who grow peppers in container. From the height and size of the plant I initially though those are planted on ground. I notice your pots are not very big, less than 10 gallon I assume. Great job . If I am from US I will...

Hi joelwlcx, Most probably they are not Bhut Jolokias. Any pics? Mark T

Hi Sri, Thanks for the direction, manage to find them at a local indian shop for RM3.50 each (1.10USD). Hopefully I don't need to use them. I really hope that the superhots will turn out as it should be. I am pretty confident with my Chocolate Bhut and Butch T as I got mine from The...

It has been 1 week since my last posting. I think I will stop any new germination and concentrate on keeping my existing plants healthy. I am still constantly checking my plants to make sure the pest are under control. Here are some updates. My tesco plant is starting to bush up. With...

Hi there, Do they have any relation to the peppadew brand chilli products? They call them Piquante peppers? The go really well with sandwich and even eating them on its own! http://www.peppadew.com/main/sa Mark T

This is an old thread, that I find interesting. I was wondering if anybody ever tried using systemic insecticides on trap plants that attracts aphids and other sucking insects as a form of pest control? The trap plant will not just act as sacrificial plant but as killer plant as well. Mark T

Hi there, I am just wondering of all the superhots around. 7pots, Trinidad Scorpions, Nagas, fatalii, black congo etc. Which one do you think is the hardiest, able to withstand temperature extremes, pest attack as well as producing abundance of pods? I have grown a few superhots, but not...

Sure bro :-) Mark T

Hi Friends, Its been 2 weeks since my last update. Weather been cloudy with rain and thunderstorm most of the time. Luckily the plants are doing alright. My superhots are starting to take off with branching and flower nodes forming. Aphids are still around but are properly dealt with using...

Yes eating the hottest pepper in the world and you can still remain so calm! Great job. I am growing some as well, Butch T from THSC, they are very healthy looking plants. Can't wait for my first pod. Mark T
