Getting Pepper Seeds From THP members.

Hey Everyone. I've realized over the year that in order to do it right you gotta do it yourself. So I've been collecting seeds from many growers throughout the last couple months (none from ebay!) Being in the produce business for 8 years now I've realized.. NOBODY here in Washington can get superhots or anything that's different than a Mexican grown orange habanero. So I'm gonna go big next year and grow some for me, my friends, and the public. By big I mean 300+ plants. I've talked to many customers about them that are looking for Habs and they have absolutely no idea peppers outside of orange habs are out there. I've seen the grow logs, which I'm sure are way more fun to look at than read my stupid post for seeds.. but I need help here.. Not many people up here know about hot peppers, I'd love and am going to get the name out.

I've seen that many members are growing plants from seed that they've received from other members.. I know I'm new to THP but I'm not new to growin.. Once seed stock time comes along for everybody, I would love to buy some.. Anybody out there that's willing to put there wonderful blow your face off hot pepper seeds up for sale I would love to know about it :D PLEASE PM me.. I've already purchased a few from here. Lemme know.
btw if it helps I already have seeds for....

Screw it, I'll bite :) Shoot me a pm.
 
I would recommend start smaller and work your way up. The logistics of a project that size can be overwhelming if this is your first time. Expect to invest a lot of time and expense…things have a way of snowballing out of control. Growing superhots is different than growing anything else.

Good Luck!!

here's my 2 cents!

Yes the idea is great but in business usually you give customer what they want.
it's cool to have the most hot and rare pepper in the world in the garden.
sure it's a great passion to share also!

but probably (my 2 cents) is that most of poeple dont eat too much of those super ultra hot pepper since they are too much for the tongue.
i think you should offer variety of different heat level and different taste.

like 5 to 10 of each different peppers form different scale levels...

like rare pepper from the jalapeno heat level,
and then cayenne type
and then tabasco
scottch bonnet level
habanero
and so on to the scorp and bhut jolokia level.

Probably that a lot of future customer only know about some cayenne or jalapeno...
throw some purple, peach, brown, black, wierd colored peppers that could ease the way!
what to provoque.. add a peter pepper type, those hot paper lantern things like that! just a cool name or weird shape is good to make people talk about your product

You should throw good peppers like the Aji lemon or other tasty and different from all known peppers to open the curiosity!
like the Aji Lemon as a citrus taste for a hot pepper.... This is something good for the curious and not ready for extreme heat...

You should also warn them of the extreme heat in the big bombs! or you will kill your customer ;)

later on do some hot sauce from different peppers and level of heat you will push them towards the higher level pepper!

Good luck in your business and project!
you will have plenty of help and ressource here!

wow you must live on the Ponderosa, in my 440 sq foot apt i wouldnt have room to store the seeeds let alone grow that many. Best of luck in your growing
 
Good luck with this! :dance:

I'd love to help, but my first plants are only about 3 inches tall...
 
Just my own .02 but it cracks me up that new members come in and ask for seed for the Superhot Kajilion bajilion scovill peppers or have a list of 30 or more wants - some you never hear from again - just like me dear friend DoubleBlown
 
I have plenty of Trinidad Scorpion seeds...PM me for pricing details if you are interested...they won't be cheap...

So i guess asking for a few dozen Butch t , Brain Strain, Naga Viper, and various other exotic douglahs , shipped overnight express at your expense would be out of the question?! :rofl:
 
What only 4 mentioned ? I'll send you 20 from my entire collection - get a few more posts under your belt and we can discuss :lol:
 
Thanks for all the support and advice guys.. here's to a few that i have time to reply to before good ol' work

I guess I left a few details out after seeing some of the veteran members givin me the :rolleyes: look. Ha :P. I've almost got the whole operation prepared and paid for. Been testing dozens of seed starting test methods to find out the best way to do them all, and where, under what lights, with what soil, etc.. I won't be letting this happen until I have every detail prepped. I still have 4months before I kickstart this party :). I saw the advice you gave me happen right before my eyes. It's been incredibly expensive. lucky for me I'm not new to greenhouse supplies, pots, soil, lights, ect. So I had a good half my supplies already. I have a serious problem of having to do everything in a big way. So I'm no new grower to large scale operations. 2 years ago I did 200 heirloom tomato plants along with peppers, some bhuts, different habs, exotic flowers etc. 150 peppers the year after that along with 30 tomatos anyway. Should be fun! thanks for the reply

THP family support and help on here is incredible, why I finally signed up :D Another detail I forgot to mention.. Lots of the peppers you had named off I am currently growing, and have grown, and still plan on growing them next season, I can get alot of those guys locally. It's just the ones you can't find anywhere else than here :)
As for killin customers, yeah.. I'm thinkin about printing up a waver for them to sign lol.
Thanks for all the advice Dave, appreciate it.

Good luck with this! :dance:

I'd love to help, but my first plants are only about 3 inches tall...

Don't worry. Mine are still far away from harvest as well, I wont be startin the project til santa comes around anyway :P
Thanks for your support!

Alright luckydog. You just signed yourself up for Bigcedars free picture mail this winter:D And don't you worry about my post count. It'll get there. Workin 50 hours a week, spending as much time as I can with my wife and daughter, growin all my current stuff but at night when I'm hangin out with my good friend keystone ice after everybody's in bed I try to spend as much time as I can on here. One day all you veteran THP members won't see me asa newbie fraud :)

I have plenty of Trinidad Scorpion seeds...PM me for pricing details if you are interested...they won't be cheap...
Not a problem AJ, you've already given me lots of great advice on here, would love to help out your biz.
 
Its not just you BC, trust me. I have been recently burned so my scars are still sore. A lot of new members come in asking for a list of seeds just irks me - we are a generous crowd here and like to share but when you share and then that person disappears ...

Good luck and stick around there is plenty of help for the asking
 
Hey Brandon. Good luck with your grow efforts. First word of advice for you would be...go to the PNW Chilehead Party in September. This is a must. You will learn so much and have the opportunity to trade, buy, taste more superhot and not so hot chiles than you ever imagined. You will walk away with alot of seeds too and great memories. I hosted the first PNW get together last year and it was a special time I will never forget. Great people and great times. I believe you cannot get a better start into this superhot world than to attend the PNW Party.
