:bday: CJ!

Great looking crop! What is the purpose of the wood chips on top of your potting soil? To help keep the soil temperature down? To keep water in?

Wow. I cant even imagine having my plants look that healthy, they are flawless... Nice work. It looks like you have 12 cups in each of those foil tray things. How much water do you put in each tray and how often? Also, what soil do you use? What nutrients do you use, in what amount, and how often?

:bday:

how does one tell what time it is without posting? (I'm guessing I'm late) (edit... yep, by 1/2 hr :( ... congrats MSM, what a fun deal early in the season)

Unfortunately its going to be hard to replicate the exact flavor of Franks. But generally speaking you will have to do a fermented cayenne sauce (look up fermented sauces in this thread) and add vinegar.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys. I must admit, I was merely the chef, those awesome pictures were taken by my photographer friend who was over to join in the chow.

:welcome: For seeds, I used pepperlover.com last year and have gotten excellent germination rates and all the peppers appear to have grown true - highly reccomended. TheHippySeedCompany.com has a good reputation, and I have heard good things about http://www.semillas....op_en/shop.cgi. Check...

Great review. Masschilehead, yet another sauce added to my wishlist

It looks like I am a bit late finishing my entry for the ramen throwdown, the thread is locked :( Anyway, since I bothered taking pictures, and was rather drunk while cooking it, I figured I'd share it with yall. Ingredients 2 eggs 6 teaspoons fish sauce 6 cloves minced garlic 1/4 teaspoon...

:shocked:

So SS, when are you going to start posting pictures of this years season? :pray:...please do... :pray: :P

Thank you all for the positive feedback! I have begun trying this sauce out now that its had a little time for everything to mingle (not too much time, I got anxious). The smoked bhuts have a prominent place in the aroma, along with a tangy sweet pepper smell, the vinegar isn't too noticeable...

I agree with Indiana_Jesse. I am no expert by any means, but I had a leaf miner problem last year in some of my plants and it looked a lot like that. If you look at the underside of the leaves you can often find the little dark colored worm things in the leaves (usually not in the leaves that...

I almost put this in the pizza thread, but I don't want to sully the magic cheffery that is going on over there. Mexican pizza... poor college kid style: 2 tortillas, refried beans between them, habanero salsa as pizza sauce, jalapenos and cheese as toppings, sprinkled with crushed tepins.

...serve over ice...

I say copy Cappy... he seems to fit a hell of a lot of badass plants into minimal space... See eg. http://www.thehotpepper.com/topic/20767-cappys-capsicum-2011/page__st__80, http://www.thehotpepper.com/topic/20767-cappys-capsicum-2011/page__st__120, I think there's a video in that thread...

About a year ago I read on this forum about somebody else who did the same thing. I decided to do sort of a makeshift version with a hollowed out (not working) old keychain flashlight and fill it with bhut powder. Well, the damn thing came unscrewed in my pocket... I am 1/2 Irish, but that was...

Lookin pretty rad... Did you fill that 72 rack with seedlings? I feel like we are missing some.

I dont know of any spreadsheet of peppers and descriptions of their flavors, but from reading peoples descriptions of them and lurking around this forum you will inevitably pick up some comparative idea about the flavors of peppers you have yet to try. In the meantime, you can always do a...
