Chilli heads.

Thanks, are you planning on growing one of each?

This is where we get ours from:

Ps. Chocolate Habenero's are my absolute favorite.

Yeah. Although I may plant more for germination just in case they don't sprout. I'm sure I'll be able to pass any spares on to friends.

Thanks!

If you're growing, you can get sowing, if you have a propogator or some warm windowsillage. A bit of artificial light morning and evening will stop them getting too leggy until the days lengthen.

I'll put bought or harvested seeds in trays covered with clear plastic tops and keep them indoors from mid Jan onwards. Not much happens for a few weeks but patience.
I've over wintered a few plants from last summer too so looking forward to see how they get on.

I over wintered mine last year. Must of done something wrong as the crop was severely diminished compared to the first year.

Hope you have better luck!

That is seriously stupid.
And why boobs? For the views I suppose.

Click bait I suppose, this edited version was much more amusing than the original.

Propagator bought and seeds have arrived. So hopefully starting this seasons plants over the weekend.

Zesty.

Have you tried the Psycho scratchings too? They're eye wateringly good.

Had some ghost pepper sauce yesterday. Needless to say, this morning was like that seem from Alien when the acid burns through the floor.

Saw those. Opted for the Peanuts.

Hop Burns and Black are too local at times. I also solved the Valentina shaped hole in my hot sauce section.

Can't say I'd heard of Hop Burns and Black. Looks like they've got a decent selection on NZ beers too which is relevant to my interests. Close to home too. Will have to visit.

Next to a bike shop too. Whoever did their market research for the area completely nailed it.

If I see the tandem outside I'll say hello.

Grow your own update:
All going well so far. I decided to go for:

Peters penis
Carolina reaper
White naga
Habanero
Moruga scorpion

They have been in a heated and led lit propagator for a few weeks now and i've just split them out into 8cm pots this morning.
I opted for 9 of each seed and ended up with 3-5 of each seedling.
My plan is to try a three way multi environment test with one of each variety over three different locations, as follows;

1. Outide - West facing garden, South Wales
   
2. On a sunny windowsill in the kitchen at work. Large window facing into a glass roofed arcade (basically a large greenhouse after about march/april)
   
3. Indoor hydroponic tent. Will hopefully be lit and heated, with extraction. Not too expensive for a basic setup off amazon.
   
   

So yeah, thats the plan.

Sweet! Be gentle about hardening off those destined for outisde!

Yeah i will be. I grew cayenne's successfully from seed outside last year so i'll see how it goes. The idea is to basically see what yeald (if any) i can get from the superhot's outside. If they don't take then i know for next time.

Chilli's are coming on nicely.

Except for the two tiny ones which are Chocolate Habanero, only two germinated in the heated incubator and now don't seem to be doing anything else!

As they are all different varieties I don't want them to cross-pollinate. I have heard that you can put empty, clear gelatin pill capsules over the flower heads before they open. This will allow the flower to set from self-pollination and the fruit will just grow through the capsule.

what's your ginger beer recipe??

about to start this: https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2014/10/01/feed-your-ginger-bug-and-brew-some-diy-ginger-beer/

That looks very good. Post pics of your progess and/or the final result.

will do! but maybe this is the wrong thread....
