Default Re: A thread for hot pepper-a-holics...

Here's an update on my hot peppers. The seed rack is pretty long so I only got 1/2 of it on here, but I have 5 species, bhut Jolokia, Cayenne, banana, Pequin, Devil's tongue, and trinidad scorpion, all of them at least have some degree of germination.

The only problem I encounter is maggots feasting on seedlings before they fully develop, but they seem to become immune once they get big enough. I have sunlight supplemented by a 70 watt 5000spectrum light which I put within inches of these seedlings, and they seem to like it very much.

Bhut Jolokia right, Cayenne left
