Plants have grown well in pretty much any soil - there is no need for someone that can not afford those expensive soils to buy them ( your not growing Marijuana that has to have the best soil and ferts to increase the production and quality)  - plenty of plants are grown every year in much less...

Should be fine -- might not get a great germination rate as water left in the seeds will have expanded when frozen and might kill some of them, but mother nature ensures there are plenty of seeds in a pod to have some survive a freeze (figure in the wild they fall off the plant and sit through...

  I think that was most of the reasoning behind it -- they figured if they could get a percentage of anything sold with the "Carolina Reaper" label by intimidating people into licensing the product with them and giving a percentage and hype it as the "World's Hottest Pepper" they could make a...

I don't think they would be able to do anything about someone violating the agreement anyway - since they did not initially post the restriction before beginning sales of the seeds for the "Carolina Reaper" and as such would be hard to prove where exactly the original seeds came from and if they...

  I think it is that stressing causes less water in the pepper and slightly smaller size due to the lack of water that causes them to taste hotter rather than more capsaicin in the stressed pepper - which is probably what also causes them to have less taste.

Place a plastic bottle ring or similar around the base of the plant - cut worms only feed after they wrap themselves around the base of the small plant at ground level (they will not feed by climbing on the plant, so a physical barrier placed around the plant will keep them from feeding on it) ...

  Exactly -- This is what he was saying and also that no matter how much NAGA you add the total heat in the CHile/Curry can never be hotter than a NAGA -- Just like no matter how much Jack you add to a Jack and Coke it can never get above 80 proof since the jack itself is only 80 proof.

  I get that but what was being said is that no matter how much sugar you add it cant get sweeter than pure sugar - the sweetness does not multiply to an amount of sweetness greater than the sugar being added ! :cheers:

  But what Charles was trying to say was that a bowl of Habanero Curry can never be hotter than a bowl of habanero -- Heat units do not multiply with the amount of pepper added to a mixture past the amount of pure ingredient added. -- sure if you eat 2 bowls you get more cap but the mixture is...

  But along the same lines then you're saying if you take a 16mil pure cap and add a 7.1 mil cap to it - you would get a 23.1 mil cap ??? - You can't get above the pure cap SHU so it is not cumulative ! ( if you add more pure cap to a mixture the mixture will get hotter but it can never get...

  Actually not Twice as hot but Twice the amount of the same Hotness !!

  Yes the Chile will be hotter - But the Chili will never be hotter than the single hottest pepper you are adding to the pot on it's own !! (even if the Chile became 100% pepper it can't suddenly multiply in heat because there are 10 or 100 peppers because there is also 10 or 100 times the mass...

  Actually it makes perfect sense -- What he is saying is that as long as you are adding whole peppers you will not get above the total shu for a single pepper -- ie. say you have 50 grams of pepper at 50,000 SHU if you add another 100 grams you now have 150 grams of pepper at 50,000 SHU not 150...

They actually don't need light until they break the surface of the dirt -- just the heat and moisture is all that is needed for germination. - just check on them daily and place in lighted area after they sprout ( Otherwise they will get very leggy quickly if left in the dark as they reach to...

Just remember to wear the gloves and not touch anywhere you don't want to burn !!

  +1 - something like :  

  If you are wanting to keep it all in the third person (ie. John and Ann) should probably use "they" and "their" instead of  "we" and "our" - as amended above in the () along with the removal of "we" in the blank () before building the commercial kitchen.
