Like I always say, life is strong! Big Mike

My lights are on a timer that comes on at 6:00 A.M. and goes off at midnight. This has worked well for me. Good luck! Big Mike Visit Us Online: www.knot2worry.us

I don't mind at all. It is Miracle-Gro Moisture Control Potting Mix. Big Mike

This plant was started very late in the season so I'm pleasantly surprised how well it has produced. You can see that it has rewarded us with many pods (and what you see is after our already having harvested some). The fruit has a pleasing taste and aroma. It is indeed quite hot though but...

Nothing about the fact that it is a cloned plant changes that. If you plan to produce pods for seed, you still must isolate the plant or the individual flowers to prevent cross pollination. Again, this is nothing more than a plant that has been divided and put into two places. Doing so...

That isn't a bad question at all. The pods will be the same as the pods on the donor plant. Biologically, the plants are the same. In fact, it is the same plant, just separated into two places. No isolation is needed to get the rooted cutting to produce a plant with pods the same as the...

I strictly take tips of branches. Not stalks or even mid stalks. Big Mike

I get about 95% success with my cuttings. Here is my 12 step process: 1. Pinch (not snip) off a fresh cutting (hopefully 5-7 inches long). It seems that cuttings bluntly pinched off and not so sharply cut or snipped off will root better. 2. Without delay, take off any bottom leaves to leave...

I've used MG for years but always in moderation. As posted in a couple messages above, one or two good shots of it early in the season has been my routine. Other than that, use rich compost and other organic means to nourish your plants. Monitor the pH yearly too. Mike Visit us Online...

That plant is loaded with pods. Is it in a container or planted in the ground? Mike Visit us Online: www.knot2worry.us

ZenPepper, I primarily attribute this to our very favorable climate here in Georgia. It's just about perfect for growing chile peppers. Also, I use a large (5 gallon) container, good potting mix and fertilizer. Anyway, it has done well and now has ripe pods on it. Mike Visit us Online...

Transplanting - Don't overthink it. Go to a substantially larger container. Use a good mix. Don't drench with fertilizer for a little while. Water in well as mentioned above. If your plant is clearly rootbound when you pull it out of the first container, break it apart a little bit but...

Mine was started from seed late this season (May) but some pods about to ripen soon I hope. 5 feet tall now and loaded.

Enuz, Some Beautiful pods and plants there for sure. In Atlanta, I have first Bih Jolokia pod ripening now. Expecting quite a few from this plant below plus two Bhut Jolokia plants. Mike

Congratulations. This is all it takes to get hooked. Good job.

Snarky, Yes. Ordered Butch T seeds, planted them, and they turned out to be Jolokia. In short, the old "Switcharoo" by the seed supplier. Seems like a smooth and profitable business. Mike

Well, it was supposed to be a Butch T seed but we think it turned out to be a Bih Jolokia. Mike
