Rocoto Red goes straight from green to red. They turn a deep, undeniable red when fully ripe, but some might seem to have an almost-orangish hue to them at first. But I would still consider it red.

Potawie, are Malaguetas similar to any other pepper in flavor? Or unique? This alone is probably what will sway me toward growing them; I wouldn't mind growing them if they're good, I just need a reason to dedicate a pot and some potting soil to it. I originally intended to grow many plants...

Looks like we have a few things in common. :) :welcome:

Cool, thanks for clearing that up--I always thought, being so close to habaneros, they didn't (and all the bonnets I've seen online were smooth). I thought that was mostly a trait of the superhots, like bhuts, nagas, scorpions, 7-pods, etc. All I know is, those Scotch bonnets were goooood. :)

What's unbelievable is that all cases, as dumb and obviously full of s*** as most of them are, must go through the court system. It's obvious this guy just wanted to jack off and chose to do it right in the plane's passenger seat instead of either doing it (a) before getting on the plane; (b)...

Interesting. I definitely think I'll grow the Rocoto Yellow. If I can find more info on the Malagueta and Guam Boonies, I might possibly try those. But the Rocoto Yellow is a must-try, I think. The Rocoto Red was a surprise gem in my garden by fall, so I'm betting on its cousin...

If that's a yellow Scotch bonnet, and Scotch bonnets aren't bumpy, then I wonder what I had. My "Yellow Scotch Bonnet" from ChilePlants.com was yellow, but was bumpy as well. And they were good, but I was questioning whether they were really scotch bonnets, and now I'm questioning it even...

Well, the problem is, I will probably be getting plants instead of seeds for various reasons (past bad luck starting from seed plus the possibility of moving this year, etc.), so I won't be able to help on that unless I can somehow manage to prevent cross pollination with other plants (and...

I'm trying to come up with a list of plants to grow this year. I have tried the Tabasco and grew it two years in a row (currently trying to keep last year's plant alive as an overwintering experiment), and was considering trying the other more popular C. frutescens variety, Malagueta. But I'm...

I recall getting lots of Orange Habaneros and Red Dominica Habaneros. The Paper Lantern did alright, but I was disappointed in the pepper in general. Trinidad Scorpion did very well for a super-hot (my Bhuts and Nagas didn't do quite as well, and the plants didn't grow as big...). The...

Rocotos, ripening? To be completely honest, here, my Rocoto Red went from little pepper to ripened-red in relatively little time. It was waiting for fall to come for a flower to successfully pollinate and begin some actual peppers growing that took forever. My plant refused to do almost...

I have a NuMex Twilight (trying to overwinter and keep from growing). It's a very small plant, and its heat didn't seem very strong to me (tasted very annuum-like though). I never heard of the Purira, though.

Yeah... I get the occasional hiccups too--mostly when eating habanero-level and hotter peppers whole. It's quite rare to get while eating food infused with peppers, but that occasionally happens too. Same with pain in my ears, which I occasionally get. But it seems those two things are direct...

When I first started eating hot stuff on a, shall I say "larger scale" (ie. I liked hot stuff since I was a kid, I just increased the amount of heat I eat by... well, a lot since I started getting heavily into peppers over the last couple years), I noticed I got a runny nose frequently, and...

Meh... I had a Yummy Orange plant last year and it wasn't that special. In fact, it was pretty disappointing. It tasted like a bell pepper... but sweeter... and with very few seeds. I wasn't really impressed, but then, for some reason that C. chinense flavor seems to agree with me more.

Ah, I see. I'm actually surprised mine are growing new shoots, because it's pretty dark in this room. Not only are the plants on the exact opposite side of the room as the windows, the windows have blinds--and they're shut. My problem with putting the plants upstairs in my room (aside from...

That perfectly describes my method. Only differences are that the food dehydrator, while cheap as hell, is old and was given to me and the coffee grinder was like 20 bucks at Wal-Mart. The coffee grinder has a ridiculously short non-extendable power cable (about 1 1/2 feet... no joke...) for...

I've got a couple... eh... somewhat condescending responses from him too. I usually just ignore them... usually someone stops by with some serious help/answers. Sometimes the stuff he posts isn't bad though.

I'm getting confused myself while in the process of overwintering. My Vietnamese Multicolor was going nuts dropping its leaves--I assumed it was going to stop growing, which is good... it's in the house, not enough light and no aphid predators. I trimmed it way back (but not to a stump, I left...

Cabbage? Weird, because like I said, what it tasted like to me was a pea when it was about the size of one... and I like peas... but of course, its flavor seemed to transform once it was just a bit bigger. I'm not arguing that it makes little sense to pick them so small though, but I was...
