Just so people can find it in a search of ebay;
Nute spells it "habanaro".
It's really spelled "habanero". Adjust your search accordingly.
Very nice and interesting post Nute.
Good Luck;)

Cool
 
Neat Ebay snapshot!
Thanks I know how to spell Habanero now!

It may sell for a penny! woohoo! I'd think most will be at work when the auction ends lol :)

This will be so neat to see it posted from another location.
I hope the little Hab likes its journey.
 
somebody's interested...

That makes me feel good there is some interest. :)

How about this for transport:
Cutting is in plastic bag sealed but inflated with some air.
This would keep any bugs in the bag not in the mail.
The hydrogen peroxide would help prevent an anaerobic environment.
Since it is in the dark little or no co2 would be required.
The cube has been dipped in Botanicare Pro Grow which is many tested guanos liquified plus minerals so the decaying organic matter in it may provide some co2.

The air acts as an insulator.
Some post offices leave the mail in the back for a while.
If the box was on the outside of a pile in 20 degree for a few hours would be my only worry.
Priority mail is fast. 1-3 days anywhere in the US.
Since it keeps moving my hopes are the cutting will arrive looking much like it was shipped.
Perhaps there will be a little bit of lighter green growth showing it grew in the mail.

Another idea for cuttings is to ship gel dipped cuttings which are not rooted.
This lets you run up to your plant and put a piece in the mail!
It would also be a good way for us to compare different Jolokias for heat.
 
i'd think it's better to but several small inflated bags around the cutting, otherwise the cutting would still bounce around the inside of the inflated bag. did you ever do the egg drop in grade school?
 
Thanks the air gap part was left because I pictured the crunched up paper filling the gap and getting soggy :)
Gr8! I have smaller bags that will act as stabilizer bubbles.

Any suggestions for how much hydrogen peroxide per x to add?
Any reason to make up more than just a cup to pour on the cutting such as oh it is good to have a dilluted gallon around the house and pour tiny amounts on your houseplants or gargle it to eliminate all gum issues :)
 
Transplanting:
For soil you may want to only water around the cube to draw out the roots.
It looks like the sterile bark starting cubes may be better since they are more like soil and have either natural or organic ingredients added for quick root development.
 
Peroxide quickly turns into oxygen and water so I think its best to mix up only what you are going to use right away.

Remember it is different oxygen it is single atom oxygen more aggressive

H2O2 -> H20 + O
just like ozone is breaking into O2 and single oxygen atom
O3 -> O2 +O
 
ABM, let us know how shipping and replanting goes. I'd be interested in this if you actually get a product that survives!
 
Thanks!
I'm having fun boxing and photing your order. It is about to go out and will be back with photos.
The cube was sprayed with water that first had a slight amount of hydrogen peroxide then a few days later had hydroguard added.

Just checked USPS perishable rules and it is looking good:
9.0 Perishables
Mailable perishable matter may be sent through the mail only if it can reach its destination in good condition in the normal transit time between the mailing and address points. Mailable perishable foods that do not rapidly decay or generate obnoxious odors in the mail may be sent at the mailer's risk.

You may have suggestions for a better shipping method.
Please post your method or changes in ways of shipping that let you express your creativity and expertise and gets our peppers more safely to their destination while being as easy as possible on the shipping supplies :)

i don't think it'd be a problem, single oxygen molecules bond to other molecules readily (that's why they're so dangerous to our bodies cuz they'll bond with stuff we need so antioxidents are just other stuff oxygen wants to bind to more) but if there's a lot of other single oxygens around i imagine they will bond with them to form O2.
 
Note the cutting and the zip tie.
On compression tests it makes an air cushion.
If the box is egg dropped the leaves and stems absorb little impact as the bag tries to expand from the interia in the cube.
Since the bag is expanded to near max it will give some stopping distance during its expansion while imparting little or no force on the stems and leaves.
Due to the extreme light weight of the small cutting the roots provide an exceptional anchor during upside down negative impacts.
The lightly crumpled paper around the bag provides shock relief and additional stopping distance during impacts and additional dampening during extreme acceleration. (similar to the inertial dampeners on the Enterprise but more eco-friendly)
