Happy Birthday Marc!

Looks like BER to me. Here's a link about it from NC State's extension office: https://content.ces.ncsu.edu/blossom-end-rot-of-tomato-pepper-and-watermelon

It does look similar to a Datil, and the heat level sounds about right too.

I've been using multiple applications of Sevin. Which I'm not a fan of using in the vegetable garden, except in extreme circumstances like fire ants. I'm going to try your borax method next time instead.

My first year trying Aji Charapita. Couldn't wait, so I tried a fully grown but still very green pod... It was excellent! :dance:

I still love to grow Mojo Frutegum, which is a BB7 derivative. The plants have lots of purple tinge to the stems and leaves. But of course, their bleeding calix is the icing on the cake.

Just to echo what everyone else has said... I use the cheap Jump Start thermostat set to 80F (about 27C). Your seeds will appreciate it and your mat should last longer too.

The hottest one I ever grew was a 7 pot Douglah from seeds I got from AJ Drew several years ago. He sent me some of his Carolina Reaper pods around the same time, and I couldn't tell the difference between the two pungency-wise. :fireball:

A little longer than I would expect in a Douglah. But in my opinion, it's still too early to know for sure.

Mucho Nacho is my family's favorite for the last few years. Good Jalapeno taste and a good amount of heat too.

I've bought from THP several times now, and have always been satisfied. While there is always a chance for an unintended cross to appear with any seed vender, I have yet to have a problem with seeds from THP.

I'm using mine for backyard lighting too. I love how it can be set up to turn on automatically at sundown so I don't have to keep adjusting it throughout the year, or reset it when the power goes off (like with old fashion timers).

From what I can see, it looks a lot like slugs to me.

What HF said ^^^

Just received and planted my 2023 order from Texas Hot Peppers! As always, Garth filled and mailed the order quickly. Thanks Garth!

I use several different timers inside and outside. The latest one I've tried and really like is the Kasa Smart Outdoor Plug KP400: https://www.kasasmart.com/us/products/smart-plugs/kasa-smart-wifi-outdoor-plug-kp400 It was only $25 US from Amazon.

I buy scotch bonnet seeds from Refining File Chiles (superhotchiles.com) and Texas Hot Peppers (texashotpeppers.net). I've never been disappointed.

^^^ Yes to both. I use both types, though I only use the reflective insulation outdoors with Kratky buckets. But either one should work nicely for you.

Grew MOA Scotch Bonnets, Inca Red Drops, Lemon Spice Giants, and Coyote Zan White (a new favorite), all from TexasHotPeppers this year. As usual, all germinated without problem and grew true to type. This remains one of my favorite seed sources. Thanks Garth!
