Co-worker is asking me how these "Italian Long Hots" stack up on the scovile scale and I have no idea. Anyone?

It keeps my interest alive during the boring winter months :-)

Brought these inside mid-september and by Oct 1 they were all but dead. The came back pretty good, but given how fast these pods ripened and their small stature I'm thinking they are still under stress. That would also explain how blisteringly hot they are. Decidedly hotter than the pods they...

My Caribbean Reds and Nagas are tucked safely in my grow room for the winter. Some may recall that they lost all their foliage and fruit and almost died due to inadequate lighting, and then made a strong comeback after I got it taken care of. Well I didnt really care if I got any pods over the...

A co-worker brought me in a few of his Aji Limo pods yesterday. They are beautiful bright yellow pods maybe 2 inches long tapering to a point. Excellent flavor. I'm guessing they are similar heat to a Tobasco possibly? I ate one whole on the spot and it warmed me up plenty and had a long...

Mine nearly bought the farm when I first brought them in. Just didnt have enough light. the leaves all turned yellow and started falling off big time. All 4 plants almost totally defoliated. Added a 400 Watt HPS lamp and raised them up a lot closer to the lights and they have almost completely...

I expect that the seeds DO alter the flavor slightly, however I leave the seeds in because I'm lazy. I make powder from thai reds and de-seeding large amount of those is very time consuming. "Giant pain in my ass" would more accurately describe it. The difference in flavor isnt enough for me to...

Dont throw out that membrane! They dont just contain "mucho" heat, they actually contain most of the heat in the pepper. I make my sauce seeds and all and puree it in the food processer

K, never mind. I got 314. It didn't really take a math whiz to figure that out once I actually thought about it for 3.8 seconds ;) Not really worth any extra credit. That was just the total that germinated, right? You didn't actually have 300+ plants growing out in your yard did you AJ?

Extra credit to the man that tells us how many total seeds germinated from the data on AJ's chart!

Only in the planning stage. For 2009 I will be expanding from my measly 3 varieties to a less measly (but still kinda measley) 7 varieties. Naga Morich Caribbean Red Habanero Fatalii Thai Red Serrano Hungarian Hot Wax Poblano Sort of a broad cross section from very hot to extremely mild

Put them up? Put them up where? Hey...maybe I dont really wanna know...

The plants are kicking ass, AJ. Thanks for askin. Lots of flowers on all 4 of them and I have not seen any signs of them dropping their flowers so far. Waiting to see if they set any fruit. I have a fan bouncing them around a good part of the day. Should be enough to pollinate em, I'm hoping. I...

Nice drying chamber :cheers: What type of tobacco is that? Will you smoke it in a pipe of cigars or cigarettes?

You make a very convincing argument, however my eyes tell me exactly the opposite of what you are saying. I have flat white paint in there. Light reflecting from this was not intense enough to cast a shadow and I could look at it all day. Light reflecting off the foil not only casts a shadow...

Actually, and with all due respect, I have to disagree with you almost completely on this point. ;) I did have the walls painted bright, flat white previously. This is easily established by the fact that light reflected off the foil casts a sharp, distinct shadow now, where it did not...

I started out not using the HPS lamp because I was trying to save electricity. I also had the plants way too far away from the lamp sitting on the floor. I would say that the tops of the foliage is now 12 - 14" on average from the HPS and fluorescent lamps, and the CFL's are hanging right at...

My main purpose is to keep them growing through the winter. If they produce fruit, then that's a bonus. From the looks of things, (tons of flower buds) they will all be fruiting. I have a fan blowing on them all the time hard enough to keep all the branches moving pretty good, and I turn it on...

I had moved my Caribbeans Reds and Naga's into my growroom about 6 weeks back. After about 10 days they were in really sad shape because the lighting just wasn't adequate. I fixed that, and they all recovered and started pushing lush green new leaves. They are almost completely re-foliated 4...

Sound like plant rape to me. Evil. EEEVVILL!
