What kind of pepper was that one on the second trailer, third row, sixth one back? I noticed it had a bit of yellow on one leaf. You might be over watering it.

Yhat's a heck of an endeavor you got going there and I hope it all works out exactly the way you want it to.

Study my pictures much boss?? LOL :) Honestly with the crap i deal with on a daily basis over here at the nursery, if only one plant has a yellow leaf im having a GREAT day! :D I have found that groing on this scale its hard to have every plant look PERFECT...its just unrealistic IMO....And thanks for the encouraging words Patrick...one thing i can say is that growing on this kind of scale kind of takes the "hobby growers love" out of it...now its business...all i do is pot up and row out plants all the time...but dont get me wrong i still plan on doing the Morugas at home still....only like 5 plants though :)

Thanks boss :) I am still working on it....but at least its up there :D Now all i need is FRESH pods to sell...wonder where i can get some of those????? :hell:
 
UPDATE.....

So i have been waiting for the plants that will fill out the rest of the white buckets to harden up a bit before i transplant them....so i skipped that row and moved on to the Bhut Jolokia Yellow's and started potting up into 3 gallon pots.....got about 400 on the ground this week....

Heres one of the screen "mobile" units for hardening up that my dad built.....1" PVC and 30% shade cloth.....will do about 1000 plants at a time.....moved 3500 plants in 4" pots this week as well to harden up :)

Awe inspiring! Got me excited about my purples bhuts again! Can't wait 'till they look like yours! You gonna sell seeds too? Or just plants and pods?
 
man that is awesome, I can't wait for another month for it to get warmer out up here lol, until then I will just watch yours grow.. going to finish expanding the garden and tilling up a ridiculous amount of rocks from the yard, but it will be great when done, I just hope some of that FL comes up this way a little earlier than usual :cool:

Congratulations on you and your Dad's unbelievable work ethic, organization, focus and concentration and $$ it took to do this. You are correct about demand as well. There are many cultures here in the US from all over the world, I met a nice retired Indian Hotel Owner. He runs a small place we stayed at in Vermont while skiing. My two buddies have been kidding and making fun of my passion for growing hot/supers for years now. In any event, in chatting with the Indian hotel owner, the subject came up, and his eyes grew wide and he started laughing uncontrollably when one of my friends called them WMD's. He thinks habs are a joke, and would buy supers anywhere every week if he could. I will email him your website. I know you will be seeing business from him and I am sure his friends who miss the taste and heat.

One more short comment before I finish, I asked the hotel owner how he selects his peppers, he said three things, by feel (firm pods), smell, and taste. Taste, huh ? He says in his country he never buys them until he takes a small nibble first. Something to keep in mind if you don't pre-bag and retail them from your business.

Thanks for all the tips as well. Things are just a wee bit tougher here in balmy RI versus sunny Florida. That being said, I only wish lots of young people had 1/10th of you and your Dad's work ethic.

Ditto... FYI. I emailed the owner of the hotel about your site and told him to mention my name if he orders from you. I know he will. He was giddy when I told him about the peppers. Not having to wait till next ski season to get some for him will be a double bonus. I told him I would bring him some seeds and peppers from my stock. Not as good as fresh though.
