All of you seedling vendors out there - I was looking into shipping some plants and holy crap what a pain! Reading the requirements for each state is enough to deter me by itself.
Do you vendors actually find the specific requirements, fill out the paper work, include the certificates, etc etc...
lol "its green" - classic. There are different kinds of radiation. Alpha and beta are the ones that can potentially leave your food "green" (hazardous). As bearbreath was getting at, gamma radiation is high-energy electromagnetic (think 'ultimate flashlight') and while it changes the molecules...
Lol I must be recovering too. My current system circulates the water between nearly all the plants so I only have to take measurements of pH etc once and add water and nutes etc to one place. Dangerous, I know, but I like to live lazily.
I mean dangerously
Weird. I was having a discussion about the tax pros and cons of each yesterday. The conclusion was that sole prop was better in my case (not pepper related business), but I think I'm going to pick up the phone and revisit it.
Very glad to hear you're pursuing it. Congrats and much props!
Holy crap, you ain't f'ing around!! I'm no expert on this and only mentioned it because I saw services offered when I did a search about irradiating food. Just google something along the lines of "food sterilization gamma irradiation service" and you'll find a lot.
Love this one's name...
+1 - sulfuric acid or potassium hydroxide soak, or even scratching it with a scalpel. I would do that and use GA3 then germinate in rockwool with 3 ml/gal H2O2 keeping it wet. That's probably overkill but I'd be shocked if you didn't get great results.
Scorpion x chocolate hab and a couple others that I've promised not to advertise because they aren't my creations. :)
That brainstrain x reaper sounds brutal!
Wow. I once modified one of those electric fly swatters and upped it to 3600 volts and turned it into a little stun gun thing. That thing hurt! no current though and was DC. Can't imagine what your little adventure felt like.
Bet you could hook up a hell of a grow light on those lines
If you're really serous about it, there are irradiation services (you don't have to buy the equipment). You can package your salsa, give it to them to gamma it, jar and all, and you'll be good. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that is still only going to be economically viable with a bit...
No no I'm the same way. 6 scoops of scorpion powder in my mini chimis and I don't feel any burn at all. It started around the time I decided I couldn't be bothered to chew my food anymore.
On an unrelated topic, I'm no longer sure that I know the meaning of the word "sarcasm"
Hunting ghost...
LOL lets catch us a snipe!! My wife went to TX a few years back with 3 others on business and they all came back telling me about this creature that they mercilessly find and beat to death in Texas and how awful the people were hahaha I couldn't stop laughing.
I'm going to try to update the...
"trying" nothing :)
Apparently, there is a way. It is completely impractical unless you are the biggest badest salsa/sauce producer THP has ever known, but it exists.

I had no idea until I just googled the gamma irradiation thing. I don't...
I didn't mean thats the only place you could get them, I was just saying a few of my buddies insist that they are crap everywhere else. Then again, its probably similar to every southern state thinking it has the only authentic BBQ. Interesting links tho thanks
