Very Basic Question

Well, just to weigh in on this some more, I set a few of my plants out in the sun today just as an experiment... almost immediately, pods started ripening on the plants I set out in the sun, but not on the same varieties still in the shade... whatever process goes into ripening pods obviously operates at minimal efficiency out of direct sunlight.


Interesting. On my other thread, blooming bhuts, someone stated that the heat had increased the time it took to ripen their pods.


Different experiences in different locations.
