  That was a legend effort.  It is quite odd feeling a little empathy during a review, that throat burn looks a bit rough. Starting with an 1/8th is a great idea! I am so inspired I might go do a little sampling from the garden, going to need to up the tolerance a bit it appears.    Both reviews...

FYI - 6 moruga seeds for $30 on trademe right now so a pod with seeds in it must be worth almost $100.  Same dude wants almost $9 for shipping by cheaper option.

Swampy, you should have a crack at it.  Sharing the love with folks without your green thumb is a good thing to do esp if it offsets your costs and helps fund next years grow off. Even with $25/kg reapers existing I bet 99.9995% of new zealands don't know about it, I certainly didn't. While we...

I def want reapers for $25 a kg, that is mental.  Way cheaper than growing them.  Seriously, can you hook me up?

  I would be looking for mega $ for the reapers.  I reckon $5 for a fresh pod and 3 for $10 would be a good way to sell them.  If you are feeling generous throw in an extra pod of something else (dorset naga perhaps?).  It is quite a good deal as they can keep seeds which I personally paid more...

Black naga and sunrise scorpion have been my achillies heel. Not tasted a pod in 2 years of trying to grow them as seed quality was poor.  Managed to get one black naga to germ out of 10 but it didn't grow true.  Word to the wise - don't order seeds from Finland.    With the seeds that are...

My tongue has been playing up recently from an old injury?   My order from Semillas arrived today.  Stoked. 4 new pube varieties as well and 5 types of jalapeno and 5 types of serrano and a few other annnuums.  Chinense are Red Bhutlah, super hot beast, Black naga, naga viper

Dolomite lime in excess will only lead to a pH of 7.  Your soil will get more acidic eventually with the addition of organic matter so some amount will help that.  I would just chuck it in in the ratios described.   Even though the pH won't suffer, excess dolomite lime will lead to excess...

NZChili's advice is rock solid there.   Just to echo what others are saying I would add lots of compost. Ideally about 50% of your mix would be compost and a good handful of dolomite lime to prevent acidity as all the organic matter breaks down.  That alone will make a huge difference and if you...

  I am ready to subscribe.  That is going to be epic, Will you be accepting hot peppers to review?

Deerdog, if you want to try a fresh moruga I will sort you out once they ripen. I can even bag the flower so you get nice seed out of it. 

  Have you historically not been a fan of the morugas? It would have given that red curry a massive kick, what an awesome Thai place to serve it up   Nice harvest btw.

    I read most of Tims website, I must have missed that bit.    I borrowed a microscope today to have a look at the brew.  The microscope only did 200x and used reflected light.  I didn't have any stain and had little experience with a microscope.  I made up wet and dry slides with and without...

  How has your season gone?  If things are going well you should do what is working for you.     I went all organic this year.  It has been my best season.  My 2 tips for going organic: Rainwater makes a massive difference.  I guess if you are relying on microbes to make your soil fertile it is...

Is it still flowering? There is a stage of fruiting and flowering that really productive plants stay in where fruit is setting all the time while others ripen.  These plants also seem to grow continuously. Others seem to flower, set a bunch of pods and then basically stop growing and flowering...

It is the Inception of forum posting

Just finished reading this glog, absolutely awesome. I notice there is a 2015 one to look at now too, brilliant. :dance:  

Another batch of AACT brewed, the aim was for more fungal this time Incidentally it turned out way more foamy:  

I would like to better understand what the foam indicates.  Most recent batch had a more fungal innoculation and foamed like mad.  It was foaming from 1 hour after starting and just got more and more accumulating - this image was taken after 14 hours, for reference the bucket it is in is half...

Your in-ground plants look really good. Bummer about the dorset naga not setting much. The photo looks slightly yellow, has it dropped many leaves?
