I grew around 50 plants last year--~35 in the garden, and the rest in pots on the front porch.The Fatalii, in the garden, was the only one with a snapped stem. It was the main stem, and it was thick. It survived some wicked wind previously with no problem. On top of that, there were a few...

Yes, I will be growing both of them again, actually. I've just heard too many good things about them, and I got no Fataliis and very few Devil's Tongues last year, so I want to try them again this year in a different setting: containers on the porch. The Fatalii was one of my most anticipated...

Oh, I don't mind. I found out everything I wanted to know already in this thread, and then some. Some interesting stuff. Unfortunately, no. I grew a plant last year, but early in the season something snapped its stem just when it was beginning to grow a whole bunch of buds (probably 20--it...

I'm not doubting the process of pickling lowering the heat, I'm just saying that the variety or strain of the jalapeno itself could be at least part of the equation. So I can't agree with the "100% due to pickling" part. :neutral: Edit: By the way: I wrote a couple paragraphs absolutely on...

My understanding and experience is something like this: Once a pepper has reached its "final" color, it is ready. Some, like the one you have (some kind of cayenne), go straight from green to their ripe color. Many others go from green, to a second color (often orange) to their final ripe...

So I take it a vibrator would be a useful indoor container growing tool for any female pepper growers out there? :shocked: :lol: Who would've guessed? :D

Planting based on the phase of the moon? Huh? Never heard of that. I was always into astronomy, never really cared about the moon phase though, let alone the positions of the stars in relation to each other from Earth (or constellations in general, really). But I honestly can't imagine...

Sorry, I have nothing to add to help you--but you germinate and start growing your seedlings in egg shells? I never heard of that. Sounds like an interesting idea though.

Could be a crappy (ie. low heat) variety as well.

DDD: ChilePlants.com is where I am ordering my plants, and I did plan on ordering the Yellow Bhut from them. Once this thing is proven, then I'll reconsider buying. With lack of money and space and the likely chance of moving this year, I can't grow everything--and with the Yellow Bhut's...

Nope. I was shocked to realize the same thing late last year when I ate some pizzas with sliced jalapenos (Biker Billy Hybrid, Jalapeno M) and actually made a similar topic back then (a few months ago). I'm certainly not new to green store-bought jalapenos--I have got them from Giant Eagle a...

Whoa... I don't even want to imagine just how many actual peppers went into all those, given how little space they take up in comparison when powdered... and that's a lot of powder. Nice collection.

I'll just say that on one particularly horribly variety of jalapeno (which I mentioned in one of my past threads), there was not even the slightest amount of corking. It looked like plastic... like a kid's toy, instead of the real deal. It really seemed like it had a "fake" look to it. The...

I've got my list down to 28 plants. I'm most likely going to get both the Rocoto Yellow and the Malagueta if I can (assuming I get to order before they're sold out). Problem is... I need to get that number down to 24 if I can (lower would be better really, but I had a hard enough time getting...

Yeah, I read that topic earlier. It was interesting... until I got to the part you just described. By the time I got to the end of the topic, the Yellow Bhut was removed from my list... :eh: I'll just grow the regular Bhut Jolokia and the Chocolate variant... it almost sounds like its...

Well, the tabasco and Pimenta de Cheiro weren't as hot as a typical orange habanero to me, but they're surprisingly hot for their tiny size; some were noticeable hotter than others, though (and at least for the tabascos the bigger ones usually seemed to me like the hotter ones). And then there...

Damn... looks like this site's "search" feature needs some serious overhauling! I got yellow *everything* but Bhut Jolokia. Thanks, there'll probably be information that can help in some of those as well.

How the heck did I miss that, with Yellow Bhut Jolokia right in the topic title? Thanks, about to read it now. The pics look good so far.

I grew the Chocolate Habanero and the Jamaican Hot Chocolate just last year. The following thread has my thoughts and experiences with the two: http://www.thehotpepper.com/topic/17447-chocolates/ In reality, the flavors were very similar, but there were some notable differences that I could...

I've been looking all over the Web for opinions on the Yellow Bhut. I've searched this forum several times with no success. Has anyone here actually grown this variety? Information seems sparse, but I've only seen two video reviews; one by Neil at the HippySeedCompany who said it's about 2/3...
