rooze: Yeah, I've occasionally had the burning pee. I was actually wondering if it was a urinary tract infection or something... or if it was because it was, eh, the first (most concentrated) pee of the day. Usually it's the #2 that causes serious everlasting pain for me, and it's often...

Actually, I have noticed the tingling to a certain extent in the past after eating--oddly enough, since you mentioned it--jalapenos sliced up on a pizza. Jalapenos, specifically the Jalapeno M and Biker Billy hybrid that I grew myself, were harder to eat on a pizza than habaneros cooked into...

Wow, bizarre, your arm went numb? Crazy. I thought the tingling in my arms was pretty strange, but I think a completely numbed arm takes the cake here. My forehead finally feels cooler since just around 45 minutes to an hour ago. I ate around 9:00, so... damn. Some real lasting effects...

I made some Mexican pizzas on tostada shells earlier today, figured I'd mince 8 orange habaneros because... well, I put 6 on a whole regular pizza before with no problem. 8 on 5 Mexican pizzas can't be *that* bad, can it...? I realized when it came time to put the "toppings" on it that I...

Anyone try putting a frozen habanero in a Mountain Dew (or other soft drink) instead of (or in addition to) ice? The fumes released from the carbonation are *wicked*, and stirring the drink up really releases them. It also seems like the capsaisinoids tend to stay mostly toward the top of the...

I'm pretty much convinced, based on my past experiences over the last few years, that pinching early buds for at least the first few weeks in their final containers is the way to go. The only thing I haven't quite figured out is *when* it is best to stop pinching and let the plants flower and...

Wow, a sad story with a happy ending... hot pepper style! Congrats, those plants are looking excellent! Those flamin' little guys are turning out to be real monsters. :cool: After all you (and they) went through, hopefully they do what nature intended them to do produce like crazy for you...

Yep, probably orange habanero. BUT... this may not always be the case. Last year I think it was, I went to a local greenhouse and got what were labeled "Habanero" plants, and the label even showed a picture of an orange habanero. The peppers actually ended up ripening to red, but the peppers...

Sorry, I have nothing useful to add as an answer, but am I the only one who--after reading the following: "Shade Cloth ... for my pubes" ... immediately thought "wear pants"? :rofl:

Last year, I didn't bother "packing" my hot pepper plants from CCN when potting them up. I realized later that with the watering it naturally packed down, and the soil levels looked... odd, to say the least. This year, I did minimal packing, at least with the first batch or two (ten each...

I was thinking about trying a bunch of non-chinense varieties next year for a change (mostly frutescens and baccatum, but maybe some annuums), and was considering doing a jalapeno and cayenne comparison. If not next year, the year after. The purple jalapeno was one of the varieties I was...

Well, I see your climate one state west is not much different than mine. :P Let me add, during the "too f'ing hot" time periods around here, it's also too f'ing humid. And not having central air or room air conditioners sucks ass. Even having a dehumidifier (which is all we've got) just...

Oh great... not this shit again. It was so nice to hear that the ButchT won, because it was a tried-and-true strain amongst chileheads. Certainly a big step up from the previous two unstable, hybrid "I got the hottest! I got the hottest! I win! I want an award too!" bullshit. It was even nice...

Yeah, IMO potting mixes suck... they are confusing, not to mention they're expensive as hell. :( This year I got some big bags of dirt-cheap "topsoil" (39 cents per 1.5 cu. ft. bag) and added several cups of perlite, and with suggestions from people on this board I also added some Sphagnum peat...

Gloves are a waste of time. I just wash my hands 3-5 times with Dawn dish soap and warm water (quick back-to-back washes, a minute total, max) and whenever my eye itches for the next hour-plus... I stick my finger under my sleeve and scratch it with my shirt.

I'm just wondering because I had a huge problem with it in the garden last year, and seen a couple spots pop up on the leaves of my potted plants every now and then. And earlier today, I was just watering my plants and noticed the first signs of it this year--my Solar Flare and Peach Habanero...

Yeah--f***s. :lol: But seriously, I think "pollinates" or "crosses" would probably be a more "appropriate" term for plant reproduction...

Very interesting stuff. I have bought some plants at the stores that had two growing in a container, and they looked pretty healthy. Then again, I've seen others where there was one huge plant and a really small one... so it probably depends on the growing conditions, how much one plant hogs...

Well... I don't know about seeds, but you can usually get live Rocoto Yellow plants at chileplants.com (they're all sold out now though). I got a Rocoto Yellow plant this year, and a Rocoto Red plant last year which I've overwintered and I still have right now. The Rocoto Yellow is growing...

I have yet to feel any kind of tingling or burning sensation from cutting peppers, and I don't use gloves. The only skin that burns is that in... eh, sensitive areas, and that can happen even after washing my hands three times or more (just a slight tingle though, nothing major)...
