i do hydro so is making my peppers hotter i get pepper seeds from the corner store down the road called Froggys si is reason also some frogs get in the hydro water hehe eh the store is authentic mexicana and there peppers are supper hot as is pretty fun to grow peppers i order some even hotter ones online. i also love other varieties of veggies like tomato and learning of the portobello mushroom i hope to be first to hydro button mushrooms as am not in favor of the messy yucky dirt n stuff petty much in florida at the moment and peppers are native and grow veary well probablly better then anywhere else in the world the soil is sandy and i use it sometimes but is always ezier in the hydro as doesnt drink the water to fast weeeeeeee! peppers!
