I love the hottest peppers!

[SpaaaceCowboy]

Went to the mall the other day with the gf, and lo and behold I found a little slice of Heaven...A new Store called the Pepper Palace...Tons of hot sauces and condiments....I was actually able to find some Ghost Pepper Flakes which I used for the first time today...I put them on my breakfast sandwich this morning, and on this casserole for dinner....They are hot but not as hot as I thought....Maybe my palette's heat tolerance is moving up....

I also picked up some Jolokia BBQ sauce....They literally had hundreds upon hundreds of hot sauces....I actually ran out of a favorite I like to put on burritos....It's "Ring of Fire" xxx or xx I think....Would you believe they did not carry it ?? lol, the girl said a lot of people have been asking for it but they don't have it....They actually did carry Ring of Fire Steak Sauce which I had no interest in since I am an A1 freak....

All the flakes you see in the pic on the food are not all Ghost flakes...I also put some regular red pepper flakes on it too...

If you're an A1 freak find a bottle of HP sauce. It's the one true god of brown sauces.

The ghost pepper flakes and powder I make from my own chillies is very hot. Even the powder I make from deseeded ghosts is too hot to use by any normal human.
1/8 of a teaspoon (just a bit of powder on the tip of the teaspoon) is enaugh to make a medium bowl of fire pizza sauce, enaugh to make the biggest pizza (40-50 cm diameter) uneatable. I know just 3 persons that will eat that sauce, and we all start to use little to none sauce after we test it on the first slice and have some bites of it.
So you must have a great tolerance. But even when I start to tolerate a spicy dish, I still get very hot sensation on my skin, sweat a lot and get a runny nose. Do you experience any of this when you eat those flakes?

Ring of Fire is one of my favorite sauces too, made in San Diego I think.

Yes I do, I remember eating Thai Curry and experiencing all that you say together lol.

Looks like is going to be a nice first chilli harvest.

Those flowers are beauty

Finally, some freakin' pods XD It's going to feel wierd growing legal plants inside to finish these buggers off proper.

Definitely not Morouga, thanks PepperJoe (asshat XD)

A quick checklist I find handy, for dropping/sterile flowers

1. Day temp too high >95F
2. Night temp too low <65F or too high >85F
3. Too much nitrogen fertilizer
4. Too much water
5. Low light levels (reduces fertility).
6. Very low humidity (reduces fertility)
7. Poor air circulation (air circulation contributes to pollination).
8. Lack of pollinating insects.
9. Size of pot
10. Too much mineral in feedwater.
11. Too much grower attention/anxiety

^word

my jalepeno pepper was all good last spring fall but this summer has been brutal out here in AZ and 95-90 degrees is the nightime temp some days, and it was in the same bucket for 2 seasons, got root bound, lost its vitality this summer, and one died in when the leaves all droped from the stress..the other is hanging in though will post a picture later and edit this...

Any one have advice on how to winter peppers for the next season? Do you cut them back, chop roots, replant and place back out next spring? I'd love to keep a couple of the plants I had this past year for another season...

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I usually repot them in a bigger pot, clean all big leaves and long branches (leaving just about 5-10 buds with small, young leaves), give them small doses of N fert every second watering and put them under floros 24H on.

cleaning and prunning is not neded, but the floros can't sustain the big bush for long anyway so it's better this way.

 

[dank.frank]

I can't put them in anything bigger - they are already in 6 gallon containers.

So should I just leave them in what they are in - let them die off naturally? And then come next spring top dress with some amendments, scratch it in and call it good? I would think I'd still want to cut them back a bit?

I'm more than likely just going to start again from seed collected if the only way to keep them around is by providing more root space...

FWIW - this is my first year ever playing around with peppers in any capacity. I've found them fairly easy to grow - with the exception of the Reapers.

Here's a couple full organic habaneros I took off the plant a couple days ago:

Most peppers will survive even if they are in a small container and you don't pot them up. Just make sure they have some available N, and better to cut them back, you avoid mess in the house/growspace once they start to accomodate to the new lighting conditions. It's easier for them to create new foliage than preserve the old one, both when taken from indoor low lighting conditions to outdoors under the sun and the other way round. A foliar spray high in N would be great if you don't pot up, also. And take care about what you bring inside with them, if I see any pest on them I spray them with a dose of pesticide. (cause I don't want to get the other plants I have indoors infected.. pretty hard to manage after.) They have enaugh time to get rid of the pesticide over the winter, so it's all good. Also, adjust watering, they won't need as much indoors, especially in winter. Too much water can kill them before they got a chance to start growing again.

Good luck!

You mean when I put the flakes on the food ? Or, are you talking just eating the flakes by themselves ?

I've only eaten them on the food...And, I've never gotten any of those sensations from any pepper ever....The worst that happens to me is my tongue feels like it's on fire, and then I have to cool down with some water or ice cube...If it's real bad then I eat some yogurt....

There was actually some residue on the butter knife I used to get the pepper flakes out of the jar..I realized this like a couple hours after eating...It looked like a powder almost on that knife, and there was hardly anything there but I decided to lick it off....I was surprised, I actually got some heat off that just from a tiny amount of powder, lol....

Thanks for all the advice, Exploziv.

I dont need to worry about the winters here to mild its July and August and the 100+ degrees you have to bring them inside if in pots, pots killed mine to hot... if in the ground the roots are cooler and deeper of course so they do better..so i need to tranSplant this week into dirt

 

[Apache Kush]

FF Ocean Grow soil lots of N from worm casting and good shit

and Flora Nova. and the Flora Nova Bloom plus a sweetner
also a dash of cal mag here and there when the make the fruits,

the pepers like a lot of Calcium to make cells walls on peppers
overkill

but i got little burn and a good yeild

cons a bitter nute taste even with flush from the salts, no flora clean to flush better
