Hey pepper joe. My wife and i have been doing the newsprint/straw method for about 5 years now... it's unreal.. loved your comment about being on the beach, after the first year working the /news/starw method, we enjoyed a lot more time watching them all grow instead of pulling weeds. By...
i wok roast most of the chillies i roast. I find the shape of the wok allows me better control... but i have to do it with the windows open. i once did not...
Excellent dvg! now we got the ball rolling in the direction i hope this would naturally progress!!.. i love everything about peppers.. from growing to the Ethobiology of the different species. Cumari, both kinds are going on my 2012 grow list now. Thank you!
First off... WOW!! that looks really good, now on to the serious question. How much vinegar do you use? if it's a real small amount.. then i am thinking ICECREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you sir! i will pass this one to a friend of mine.. not on THP. His goal is a hot sauce that can add heat but not a whole lot of flavor change ( less vinegar, no bitterness). He can have some of the ones i am growing this year and see if it fills his needs..
i am also curious about other wilds. these are from the mexican desert.. how about other types.. from the depths of the jungle in Belize or the Amazon.. Africa too and Asia.. i am down for discussing any wilds.
this is my first year with any of the super hots... years of grow other peppers. I am waiting to get some seds from isolated plants in the fall and grow in winter.. hope i can trade some seed around once i know the plants are good and what i expect them to be..... i think it's the first part of...

I am a newbie.. to the THP but this place is great.. all you folks are very willing to share your knowledge and just have fun.. that said.. that was not cool.. whomever it was. I think i would have evacuated a purple twinkie if i got that. Admins.. i would not doubt it was a competing forum/site...

Hello All. Gt a friend in southern Texas whom has found some wild chiltepins.. i got sent one.. and it was very bitter.. not just hot. wondering if there is a similar taste with most wilds. i have tasted a lot of diferent chillis from around the world (as far as i can tell all cultivars) and...
Hey Siliman. I think it was some of your posts that got me.... worried is a little strong.. so i'll go with slightly concerned. I have just the one bonnet at work (need a midafternoon pick me up) and i want it healthy. have a good one!
