Hello from Austin

Hello All,

Longtime hothead here.

I've always loved spicy foods, and had grown Jalapeno and Habaneros in an outdoor raised-bed garden but decided to take the step into growing some of the Ultra-hots several years ago. I went to THSC and bought some Bhut Jolokia, Naga Dorsets, Scoth Bonnet, and Naga Bons from him. I guess the stars aligned just right because I had about 14 plants in 5 gallon Home depot buckets that were taller than me. (~6 ft tall)

The next year I thought: Hey, that wasn't so hard. I can scale up production a bit. Well, that failed miserably.

So, now I'm at it again with some Chocolate Trinidad Scorpions, Naga 7s, Trinidad Scorpion Butch Ts, and Chocolate Trinidad Scorpions. I've encountered some problems so will be asking for advice....

Thanks all
