I repotted to the 16 oz. cups 4/16/18 because I had a lot of roots coming out the bottom.

Those look great Richie. Kevin (Foamheart) gave me seeds from plants his father... maybe grandfather gave him. Louisiana Reds. Delicious!
I’m on my own 3rd generation now and all my kids have them as well.
Like! B

Ghost pepper is as hot as I need. Lots of bite(for me anyway), but can still taste the flavor.

Pepper eating isn't a "prove you're man enough" thing to me.

Not insinuating anyone here does, but I know you know what I mean!

Good luck with the Reapers!

Bill I will nor be eating these off the plant.My intent is to make a hot sauce that is tasty.

So a friend sent me some seeds which I planted in starter pots last weekend. I could taste these things just by briefly handling the seeds and getting oil on my fingers! Gloves are recommended!
This should be fun! B

Richie
Are they growing yet?

LOL these babies deserve your respect!
They were planted last Saturday in one of those cheap little green houses with the discs that expand when you add a few cups of water. I have good luck with those. Placed in the window. It’s been sunny and warm. Already seeing tiny sprouts on a few. It will be a number of weeks before I plant them outside.
Foamheart peppers are planted now along with basil . Lots and lots of basil. Thanks again Richie. This is going to be interesting. B
 
I'm taking a try at growing ghost peppers for the first time this year. I planted my pepper patch last week, and the potatoes are looking green and happy.

I was very lucky to know a guy who grew a field of peppers in Indiana for years. He opened his field for people to glean at the end of the season, and that has turned into a major camping event.

That's my pocket knife at 3:47



He has since quit the hot sauce biz but the annual event lives on.

"Four words: Thank You Jim Campbell" - that's me.

Great video link you gave me! Can't wait to try it!

will use store bought peppers for my first try, but hope to use the serranos, cayenne, habanero and jalepeno I started.
Thanks again.
