  Beautiful pods. I hope you have a lot of antacid on hand!   Tim

  Jimbo.... In the past I have typically used 5-1-1. This year I decided to go the easy route and try something straight out of the bag. I did a little research and people seemed to like BX Pro Mix. I started with that and added some additional perlite. Someone informed me, about half way...

  Have you checked for tomato hornworms? I found one on a plant today. I had several peppers with the end completely eaten.   Tim

  Here's a quick look at my plants. There's still a lot of pods, even though the season is winding down. Let me know what you guys think.   Tim   http://youtu.be/1vD4llEeXCQ

  I learned my lesson earlier this year. My first ripe super hot was a tiny Bhut Orange Copenhagen. It was about the size of a dime. I think it was around the end of May. I thought what the heck and popped the whole thing in my mouth. It wasn't long before I realized a super hot is hot...

  I'm amazed at how dense these pods are. I had it side by side with a 7 pot infinity. The pods were almost exactly the same size, but the SB7J felt almost twice as dense. The flavor is amazing. It's still too hot for me to eat a whole pod, but I'm working on it. I've been sampling small pieces...

   Congratulations, and welcome to your new addiction. Go ahead and schedule time to: look at plants, search for pods, look for insects, stare aimlessly wondering if they'll ever ripen. It truly is an addiction!   Tim

  I've been watching this pepper for a couple years. I think I'm going to have to pull the trigger and order some seeds. You guys have some great looking plants/pods.   Tim

 MisterBigglesworth........where are you located in NC? I'm in Lincolnton, NC. It's between Gastonia and Hickory. I'm about 20 minutes south of Charlotte, NC.   Tim

  I started all my super hots December 26th last year. My reaper plants are about 7 months old. I have lots of pods and have harvested 3 or 4 ripe pods, with several more ready anytime. Here's a pod I picked the other day. They are HOT!.   Tim  

  I was also assuming the yellow gene was dormant until it appeared in this plant. I know that's the exact color of my MOA Scotch Bonnet pods. All my SB7J pods are the same color as your's Dennis. I like the yellow. I would be interested in finding out if there was much difference in color/heat...

  Those are some good looking ghost pods. I can see why you saved seeds. I always scrape seeds onto a paper towel then twist it up and put a clothes pin on the top. I let it sit on the kitchen counter for 2 or 3 weeks, Then I transfer them into small plastic bags. I've been using this method for...

   I tried my first pod a few days ago. It was awesome. Good heat and great flavor! What did you think?   Tim  

  Thanks for the kind words. I fertilize about every 2 weeks. I alternate between Alaska Fish fertilizer and Miracle Grow all purpose fertilizer. This is not a strict schedule. I let the plants dictate.   Tim

  Here's a look at my plants. Things are really picking up. Take a look and let me know what you think.     Tim       http://youtu.be/IRvfODO2soI

  This year I'm using BX Pro Mix HP. It's the first year I've used it. I typically use 5-1-1. I really like 5-1-1 and have had great results, but it really labor intensive. The BX Pro Mix seems to be working just as good, with no additional labor. I also add dolomitic lime, blood meal, bone...

  I have most of them in 10 gallon containers. I have 3 in 15 gallon containers.   Tim

    I picked these a couple days ago. I love the flavor!      Tim

  Thanks guys. It won't be long before I'll be harvesting enough pods to make powder. Up until this point, it's only been 4 or 5 at a time.   Tim

  Here's a look at my progress to date. All comments are appreciated, so let me know what you think.   Tim       http://youtu.be/wGqvHbjPTkw
