Is it really that confusing, well from a money perspective and fame perspective it isn't but from a variety point it is I agree... people are desperate to want to associate there new creations with "the most googled names " to create instant acceptability and spin money faster.ajdrew said:
How many people would of googled Carolina reaper to buy seeds and seen a chocolate version and thought " No way, I've never heard anyone mention a chocolate version .. I'm getting those ones because they will be über rare" .. CHA CHING... Winner winner winner.. Collect your money...
Same thing with the Primo, they needed to attach that Fame card to it so it was readily accessible and acceptable of being a must have.
lol.. I was proud to hear of the Bhutlah, someone showed ball's to actually go with a fresh name and somewhat associate it with its parents .. Good call..
That does sound awesome. I forgot all about Bonda Ma Jacques from last year. It was great and really productive. Been putting smoked bonda powder on pizza last few months.MeatHead1313 said:
I would say I'm jealous and ask for more info how you got plants that big after 5 weeks. But then I realized, I don't want them to be that big until plant out time at the earliest. I wouldn't have room. In fact, I really want my plants this year to be smaller overall, and about half as productive. I just had too big of a jungle last year and way to many pods to deal with.moruga welder said:
well jc. was hoping that it might and i mean just might get to 5o in late march , then these will be out in the green house , but if it doesn't i will top them ,jcw10tc said:
Now I am jealous, wish I had a green house. Next time I move will look for property where I can build one or at least have a nice big sun room on back of house. The way the weather is going for us, we might just have to hope for above freezing by late March. Saw -13 on car thermometer on way to work this morning. Ridiculous for almost March if you ask me.moruga welder said:

The yellow Primo is just a yellow sport of the std Primo - pretty much like a yellow 7 Pot is a sport of the red. Not outcrosses or even hybrids. Just mutations. Plant enough seed and chances are that a different colour mutation will pop up. I know THSCo have their TS Butch T in Chocolate Brown - no cross breeding etc - just a natural mutation. Hmmmmmm I see you have RED Fatalii
OK my fave is the CARDI Yello Scorpion. Beautiful fruit (great appeal) with a sweet fruity flavour and a very decent burn. Makes fantastic sauce and imo prob one of the best scotch bonnets.

Sometimes things like over watering can cause this, and could explain why ones does great, and another does not. Early on, I was baffled why my plants kept showing calcium, iron and nitrogen deficiencies. I cut back on water, and the problem disappeared. Too much water interrupts proper nutrient uptake. This is why I believe its kind of hard to grow peppers in Florida in pots. The sun evaporates water so quickly, that you are forced to water them more frequently leading to deficiencies.
AAronTT - Not sure if my wife is a tomato gourmet or a nut case, but she claims she can tell the difference between a tomato grown in a container and a tomato grown in the ground. At first, I thought sure it is the soil content. So I grew some in containers using the same combination of mulch and soil that we got going on in our garden. She said she could tell the difference. So I brought her tomato without telling her which were which. She picked right. Same soil, same water, I was baffled.
Think you are on to something and I do not think it is just Florida. But also going with different people get different results from various potting soils because different people do other things differently. Maybe one is less of a problem with over-watering because it retains less water. So thinking each individual is going to have different observations.
Thinking miracle grow is probably packed full of nitrogen to serve as a general purpose potting soil. Remember, their big advertisement is that it can feed plants for up to six months. Some folk are so in love with their plants that they have to mess with them everyday. Other folk can barely remember to water. Mass consumer products have to meet a huge range of customer needs. Thinking you can not be the best at any one thing (type of plant) if you are trying to be the overall best. Willing to bet it kicks ass on the average houseplant that is hardly ever given anything other than tap water.

I'm pissed I took my green house back. I should of still set it up. When I was building my garden last year it was so late into spring that It was too hot to put anything into it by the time I was ready to build it. I had bought a decent one from Home depot http://www.homedepot.com/p/Riverstone-Monticello-8-ft-x-8-ft-Black-Premium-Greenhouse-Kit-MONT-8-BK-PREMIUM/203439468?cm_mmc=Shopping%7cBase&gclid=CjwKEAiAyMCnBRDa0Pyex-qswB0SJADKNMKAAjz9XbNamkQ1mjk3yrZhlYV6O9h6I6TQMEaDebBFuBoCBMXw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
Along with two of the shelves that go with it. I should never of taken it back but I was worried about it just sitting empty all summer/winter that it might get destroyed before I got use out of it.
