This is something I wish would be studied and tested more, because it would be some very useful information to have. A rough percentage of each capsaicinoid in each variety of pepper would be just about as interesting as the Scoville rating itself. In fact, I would say it would be more useful...

Network address translation? Nah, just kidding. I'm never heard of such a variety.

You mean like this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_phase http://www.google.com/search?num=50&hl=en&safe=off&biw=1000&bih=714&q=cause+of+moon+phases&aq=f&aqi=g1g-v1&aql=&oq= Edit: Shit, yeah, I'm getting burned out. [You can't say you didn't read the disclaimer in that post...] I'm mixing...

Yeah, that's what I say right about now. Hey, we agree on something. :) LOL

AJ: Great, so someone attempted to plant at different times based on the moon phase and position against the stars to try to "prove" something. The article brought up some valid points (especially toward the beginning), and plenty of unsubstantiated BS like what I've argued about since the...

Well, he came up with some important discoveries. And any guy crazy enough to go flying a kite with a key attached during a thunderstorm as one of his experiments on conducting electricity gets my respect. LOL. I honestly have never read in great detail about him, though. As one of the...

Yep, I'm in the eastern US myself, and I hope to never come across these things. I occasionally notice some little "spots" like on the first image, but never a complete exit hole... from all I read, I thought those holes end up "healing" to eventually appear as just a scar? I haven't noticed...

Oooh... ouch. That has to suck. Are those things pretty much all around the world? I hope to never come across them... nasty...

Yep, that's what I did. Warm water probably helps the Epsom salt to dissolve, and "hot" may be too high of a temperature and/or too big of a difference compared to ambient temperature for plants. I tend to use water not too far away from the actual temp, but adjust for extremes. Example: If...

dvg: Didn't I mention several times that if something drastic occurred, like the moon somehow being forcefully exiled out of orbit of the Earth, it could prove this millennia-old belief null and void? I believe I did... of course both the Earth and its moon both have their own gravities, and...

As far as *literally* changing the outcome of germination rates and drastically changing an outcome of growth or making sweeping changes in the climate of the entire world (which would, in fact, affect plant growth)... that's exactly what I'm saying. But re-read my posts, I'm talking more about...

I hate to pop back in here with even more criticism/disagreement (haven't I done that enough? LOL), but you keep popping in saying that this stuff is scientific, that it's "real" science because it supposedly follows the scientific method (which it doesn't; just read the first paragraph in the...

Well, you are pretty damn wise yourself when it comes to growing peppers. I can say that for sure. I just don't think the fact that you may choose to follow astrological signs has anything to do with it. I would say it's more along the lines of good old-fashioned trial-and-error, raw skill...

Sorry. Once again, I call that superstition. Again, I see no way some "connection" can be made, of a specific phase of the moon as seen here from the Earth being in between a few stars visible from countless light years away. It's impossible for me to call something determined by that as an...

If you believe that, then I don't know why you believe in this whole planting-by-moon-phase thing to begin with. They kind of contradict. In a way I can agree with you here, but not fully. Some years may be extra cloudy and rainy, occasionally extra windy (a few years ago was especially bad...

Wow... I must be blind. News to me... I never even noticed the plus and minus buttons or the number rating. :surprised: They don't really jump out at you, which is good, but they don't seem to make much of an effort to be seen, either. LOL.

That sounds more like skill, equipment and setup to me. And climate, whether natural or artifical (indoors with artificial heating and light). Not luck, which is what this whole idea you're following sounds like. That involves the earth's revolution around the sun and the moon's revolution...

So, what happens if I plant some seeds today, January 12? Just bad luck, the same thing that walking under a ladder or breaking a mirror is supposed to bring (but never has)? Or some magical change in the speed of growth of the plant somehow, causing it to not be ready or grow too fast for my...

Nope, never did. And if it's full this kind of "facts", I'd be extra cautious in what I choose to believe from it. Still, it might prove to be an entertaining/amusing read which I'm sure at least contains *some* good guidelines for gardening. And various things in the Universe change, ever so...

Let me just jump in and say that I have actually heard about that claim that some people perceive C. pubescens species as hotter than a habanero, and I just put that to the test with a nice big red Rocoto just the other day. I ate about half of a fresh one. The flower was pollinated just...
