Been thinking the same thing! :lol:

@MarcV @CaneDog Thank you! I'm holding my breath a little, but yes I hope at least one or two of each germinate for me and I can get seeds from them.

@Marturo do you use this for figs?

Your scoring method is the one that I used the first time I rooted fig pops, and it seemed to work well (although I have never tried no scoring at all as a control, I'm only comparing it to a second method of scoring to expose the cambium). Looking forward to seeing how it all works for you!

Before we get started, I wanted to post this image for the GLOG cover. This was one of the last harvests I got from my 2024 plants, which were picked later in December: This is probably the earliest I've ever started pepper seeds! Usually seeds are started between 3/1 and 3/15, but this...

@CaneDog looks great! I'll be taking notes from you in the future! :halo: I've got my fig pops set up, they've been going for two weeks now. A few buds and even some leaves on Kristy's unknown (which is an absolute beast), but no roots yet.

Merry Christmas to you and yours as well! If increasing the nitrogen doesn't resolve the issue, I'd take a peek at the roots and see how well-developed they are. If they are a bit underdeveloped, consider your watering schedule and whether the soil is remaining too damp in the lower zones in...

I would love to visit Bolivia as well!

I highly recommend Semillas La Palma! Over the years I've also ordered from Tomatogrowers.com and Rareseeds.com (as @Marturo noted above). They both have a good selection and everything that I've ordered so far has grown true with good germination rates.

I can only comment on Yellow Scotch Brains and Chocolate Scotch Bonnet. I mentioned YSB in my review of what I grew in 2024. It was a really nice surprise. Very hot, but with a delicious Yellow Scotch Bonnet flavor and also just enough citrus flavor to complement it without being...

Hmmm, it just so happens that I have a Weber. :)

This is really interesting, I wish I could read in Spanish to understand more of the descriptions, but I was expecting mostly the common domesticated species, and found that it was more the 'wilder' species like eximium, etc. that are found in the description. I've read comments before about the...

The JHC definitely tastes a little different but not overwhelmingly. I like the taste of JHC more because it's more balanced, but the overtones are absolutely still chocolate chinense. That's good feedback on the smoked powder. One day I need to acquire a smoker and give smoking peppers a...

VdB is reputed to be a great fig. I've never grown it, but I hope it grows true for you! Keep me posted!

...and the ornaments are edible! Doesn't get much better than that!!! Hey man! Good seeing you on here-usually I see you on the FB page. Happy Holidays to you and yours as well.

@Downriver I like to think in terms of flavor profiles and applications, so for example if I found a red chinense that wasn't really up to snuff, I might look to switch it out for another red chinense. That being said: Antillais Caribbean-that susceptibility to cracking was really...

They really are unique and very cool. Keep me posted on how the search is going! If you ever want seeds I can send you some. They're a great pepper. I think if someone did a taste comparison between the fatalii, yellow scotch brains, and scotch bonnets, they'd detect a neat spectrum from...

Hopefully I didn't go overboard! I like to be detailed but sometimes my wheels spin fast...
