I've also had good luck with Puckerbutt, I just email Ed directly and he responds in a timely fashion.  Love the no frills super hot sauces and most of the seeds I've gotten have turned into nice plants as well except some Moruga seeds which had 0% germination after a month on 80 degree heat...

March 1: Starting to look like a bit of chaos going on in the grow rack.  I'll take that as a good thing.     Also, some results of my experiments are in.  Since this is my first time growing anything from seed, I was following along with a chili growing tutorial on YouTube where the first...

Very pretty indeed. Are the pods red or black/purple like the foliage?

I did a search myself out of curiosity. No luck. Seranos are a little less ubiquitous than jalapas, especially red ones. Which I'll never understand, because I think both taste much better ripe. Depending on your needs, a Fresno could also be a substitute, and I think people generally look for...

You know you've made it in life when there's a dedicated sauce room in your house.

Thanks a lot PaulG. Yes - really going in big this summer!

February 24: Feeling good about the annum's progress so I potted up and fed.  Experimenting with some of the Fox Farm's soil, people seem to dig it.     Most of the chinense have doubled in size since last week.     And round 3 of germinations is off to a good start.  Part experiment to refine...

Ed Currie has ridiculous tolerance.  Watch him eat a choc bhutlah on YouTube and just casually correct the camera man he's swishing water to get the seeds out of his teeth, not because it has anything to do with the heat.  It's not normal.  lol

Maybe you would be better suited by container growing. If your water level is very high, like in that picture with the holes completely filled (with groundwater I presume), then that land is unreliable at best and completely unusable for peppers at worst. Container growing can be cheap with...

Welcome, good luck with your ahi endeavor!

  Gator sauce is only $15 on PB's website I believe.  Same is RS.  I don't think they sell gator on Heatonist, they do sell RS for $24, though.

  Just wanted to echo this as I've been experimenting with GH's Rapid Start and BioRoot lately.  Both have turned out to be game changing products.  I think the Rapid Start is the more aggressive one of the two, so I'm reserving it to reduce transplant shock and using mild bioroot + kelp for the...

To me it's low yield. I like lots of big pods that I can use to make lots of sauce. But I'm also limited in space.

Figured it's been a few weeks.  I narrowed down my chinense varieties to just the healthiest ones and actually down-potted some in the bigger pots with a different soil (Coast of Maine + extra perlite), feeding all a mixture of cal-mag (.5mL/gal), kelp (2.5mL/gal), and rooting products BioRoot...

I think they had Culley's Fire Water on there once upon a time. Or at least, sell it on Heatonist. That's one of the extract sauces I don't mind. Had a few bottles of Last Dab over the years. It's a love or hate thing it seems to me. Unique but kinda heavy ginger. For the price, I prefer to go...

It does have a flavor though believe it or not. It tastes kinda of how loose change smells, copper pennies in particular. And maybe a hint of pepper. lol.

It's a cool show.  A bit predictable after awhile of course, but any show that features wings and tasty sauce will attract my attention.   I do like watching the people that go all in knowing it will be painful but do it anyways.  Also, Da Bomb Beyond Insanity...talk about the most supremely...

I'd suggest research. There's so much information on this forum, on YouTube. We can't possibly fit it all into a post, especially not knowing what you have, your conditions, what/when/how you want to start, etc. Just gotta figure it out and patiently learn. They say your plants will talk to you...

Thanks Paul G.  Just hoping my chinense don't throw in the towel on me.  They've had a tough life so far at the hands of my noviceness.  But if they do..well then there's always next year I guess.

On a parallel story, I took some of my mistakes with the chinense batch and changed how I did the annums.  Buried deeper and also germinated under lights instead of waiting for them to sprout.  They've turned out much better so far.   January 23: Sow annum varieties pepperoncini, hot banana...
