Hello all I'm new to the forum and was wondering is it better to start a new plant from seed or from a seedling already started at nursery?
Thanks

Thanks for the info and warm welcome. Does soil type, amount of sun, or water have any effect on the hotness? We do a lot of BBQ competitions and we have a couple contest at each one where we give away shirts 4 who does the HOT PEPPER CHALLENGE. Got to chew and not have anything to drink for 5 minutes afterwards.

Soil ph, how fertile it is, matters a lot, cant explain you in terms since i am just a hobbyist gardener (maybe someone else will). Rarely watering and lot of sun with no shade stress the plant and (apparently) increase the heat. 
I've read some time ago someone's experience (i presume i've read here, i dont remember) and he claimed his plants - shade during lunch, proper watering - gave a decent amount of peppers, but the heat was mild. His brother had same type of plants, different location, full sun, watering whenever he remembered and the peppers were smaller, but more in number and very hot.
Oh and i plant basil between peppers, i've read it increases the flavor.  And some personal experience in the photo, Scotch bonnet planted in the garden vs planted in a pot. I have to say i didnt feed it since i dont "feed" my plants. We put compost in the garden during winter and that's all  the "feed" anything gets. I dont agree with weird bottled "natural" feed stuff.

When I first started growing, I only bought started plants form big box stores and nurseries but when you get tired of the "norm", you start growing from seed so you can get stuff not typically available. Which is exactly why I started a business selling rare and unique plants :party:
