Really? :shocked: I am actually shocked that someone would say that, because I've read so many threads around here comparing the superhots with seemingly the majority of people claiming the Bhut Jolokia and Naga Morich are best for heat/flavor, while the Trinidad Scorpion sucks for flavor but...

It's probably just my area, but I wouldn't say habaneros are mainstream. Wal-Mart doesn't carry them (though they sell the live plants in spring, go figure...). And even though several other local stores do carry them, they always seem to have been sitting there for a while, rotting...

What I fail to understand is, how the f*** can a company like Monsanto get away with patenting human or other animal genes, plant genes, etc.? It's beyond disturbing that the government actually allows this, let alone the act of genetically modifying plants and animals in the first place (and...

I don't know, because I refuse to pay several times the price just for a label that has some pointless "organic" certification. If I had to take a wild guess though, I bet there would be that there would be no noticeable difference in organic vs. non-organic food; all differences would be based...

Easier said than done, if you live in an area where just about all that's around is Wal-Mart and Lowe's. And even then, it seems like you are bound to be paying them indirectly by buying food with their genetically-modified garbage just by shopping for groceries.

Heh, that had to suck. Like I mentioned in my previous post, all cats are different. That's a good example there, since only one of them was the culprit. I do know cats like to piss and shit in "dirty places" though, so it's not a huge surprise. It just seems much more likely to happen...

My cats like to chew on plants, but they don't ever seem to eat them. Well, usually--they really like eating grass though, and often prefer it over houseplants and peppers. Growing some "cat grass" (oats) in front of a window for the cats to eat fresh whenever they want (and...

Yeah, I can actually see the difference in the height of those pots just by looking. They look less sloped, too. Those are some pretty big plants, by the way. My guess is that the pots I'll be able to find around here will not be a full foot high, probably somewhere around 10.5". To be...

I'm in a crappy little town pretty much on the east border of Stark County. It's pretty far up in the northeast region of the state, but closer to Pennsylvania than Cleveland/Lake Erie. Kind of nervous this year because I've made the decision to try making my own potting soil mix (the pre-made...

POTAWIE: I have sort of noticed what you explained, how a plant has to be growing well to actually *want* the extra space. Some plants seemed to be happy to grow extra to take the extra space, while others were more hesitant. I guess maybe in my case there were just a few weaklings? Those...

IMO, the Naga Morich, Trinidad Scorpion and Orange Habanero look especially nice. Compact, with real nice, dark green, big, healthy leaves. Very good looking plants. But then, for some reason, I seem to prefer almost everything about C. chinense species... don't know why. Heh.

There are a ton of environmental variables that determine each individual pepper's heat. I've had some hot ones in mid to late summer for example, and some weak ones picked in fall. But one thing I've noticed is... the bigger peppers tend to be the hotter ones. I've had some "baby" orange...

LOL. That was a good laugh. :P But really... it *is* shit, so that word is as appropriate as it gets. LMFAO. :rofl: In other words... I honestly can't argue over his choice of vocabulary. It's pretty much correct and right to the point as far as I can tell.

geeme: I agree, the weather last year was damn nice here overall for pepper growing. The previous year, I admit, my main pepper garden was mostly shaded (the sunflowers I grew were in the sunnier part of the yard). So sun or clouds, it didn't really matter much. LOL. But the little guys...

Some time during the last growing season I decided that just about every pepper plant I grow from then on will be in containers, and that's still the plan. This decision was a result of the much better overall health of my potted pepper plants vs. those in the garden, as well as several other...

My mom's old dog used to eat anything--and I mean anything--it had the chance to (but what dog doesn't?). That included bits of ground beef for tacos that has been treated with a nice, healthy dose of habaneros and other very hot C. chinense varieties. She'd lick it up in no time, she seemed...

My pepper interests this year pretty much mimic last year's... primarily C. chinense species (large, wrinkly, very hot types of all colors) and superhots. I had bad luck last year with the Fatalii and Antillais Caribbean so I'm especially looking forward to those ones, and I never tried the 7...

As long as your not choking over his Pubes. :lol: :rofl:

Are you sure it's rats? I mean, rats are mammals too, and I thought all mammals have the receptors to be sensitive to capsaicin... and I can't imagine any animal besides us humans being crazy enough to enjoy the heat and become chili heads. If it really is a rat problem, I don't know whether I...

Pinching off probably wouldn't hurt. The buds might just open up and fall off anyway. But if pollination is successful and peppers actually start developing... then you might have a problem. The safe thing to do to prevent the plant from wasting too much energy and getting stunted is probably...
