  Lol ye there's talk of me going next year but it's quite a bit of time off work :/

  Ye the bottom is chocolate Bhut as that's produced for 2 years,   I agree the yellow looks fatalii but I never ordered yellow... I ordered white.

So after a few years of trying to grow peppers here in South Africa i quit at the start of this year as I was told i'ts not recommended I eat them anymore because I have a massive hernia...   So I put all my plants from last year (none of them produced anything except the Chocolate Bhut Jolokia)...

Hi Cayennemist,   Maybe the below can be edited/added to the aphid natural control?   Aphid Threat level: Location: Control: Biological Control: This was suggested to me by a landscaper: Pan fry 2 tbsp canola oil, 4 x hab pods, 1/2 cup water & 1 tbsp garlic for 30 mins. Strain all the liquid and...

The sauce ive been making seems to change flavour over time. Now I realise this is a kind of given as the sauce can age as say a wine does but the change is quite drastic.   Is it possibly the veg/fruit being added is fermenting or something? Carrots etc.   Is there a way to preserve the...

Thanks for the info. So basically if the heat was to high the seeds are basically destroyed. Is that a 100% guarantee?   Im going to try germinate them and see but I assume if none germinate it was a high temperature.   Is there any kind of visual that would depict high drying? I see the 1 dried...

I recently purchased some seeds + dry pods. It was mentioned I shouldnt try using the dried pod seeds for growing. Why is this?

Ye im definitely going to try. Picking up seeds and dry pods on saturday. Probably going to taste one so thought it would be good to know what im in for before doing it :)   Guess its a lucky packet.

:rofl:

Anyone know this pepper? I know someone who recently visited Nepal and has brought these back. Seems like some Hab variant? This person says they are incredibly hot?   https://chattingchutnees.wordpress.com/tag/dalle-khursani/  ...

Nope wasnt deseeding because I buy in large quantity so I wasnt worried about saving seeds for replanting. I was straining the sauce but I spose a lot of the seeds are getting chopped up... didnt realise they could cause bitterness. Ive heard of the over-watering causing bitterness but thats...

Awesome will have a go and let you know the outcome :)

Ive tried making Habanero sauce 2 different ways and there always seems to be a slightly bitter after-taste. The habs seem to have their own slight bitterness when eaten fresh but it seems more prominent in the sauce. I tried the cooked version thinking it may stop the bitterness and it did...

Ye I think Black Pearl aswell from my online research. Dont get me wrong there was burn but in my eyes it was quite mild. I havent had a fresh Cayenne to compare. Cool ill take a pic of the plant and what little blooms there are cause obviously our winter is coming.   My online research is...

No one? I tested the biggest pod of what I think to be the Dorset Naga and it had quite a kick. Burn was quite intense in the back of my throat; almost like pouring kettle water on my throat. No real mouth burn. Lips felt like they were splitting. I tried some of the Habanero just before that...

  The Habs are there for size comparison and colour.   1) Plant was sold to me as Dorset Naga. Seems like it could be correct? Just the heat isnt there but being in the Southern Hemisphere we are going into winter so ive been told this can affect the heat and obviously being a first timer grower...

If u simulated summer conditions during winter do you think the heat will still be less? Are plants "smart" enough to know seasons?

Ahh ok so its a timing thing. I realised its very late but I only got into "growing" late summer here. Have to wait for next year to use my knowledge to test again :) The fertilizer is http://www.talborne.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=14&Itemid=13 the vita-fruit and flower

The pods in question are Dorset Naga but they have the heat of Habanero... I expected more?

Heres the stress marks:     Theres also some darker marks on the top of the pod:
