Hey what's up all. I still haven't been able to do a stealth grow but I couldn't take it anymore I had to grow something!! Since I love spicy food I googled the hottest pepper and found the bhut jolokia. I also ordered a few of the other hottest peppers to have a variety.

Bhut jolokia
Chocolate bhut jolokia
Yellow bhut jolokia
Naga moriche
Trinidad scorpion
Trinidad seven pot
Caribbean red habanero
Congo black habanero
Peruvian aji

I planted them Saturday and since then I had 1 Caribbean 1 Seven Pot and about 8 aji sprout. Spicy peppers are known to take a full 3-4 weeks to germinate so I gotta be patient. I planted them in a 105 jiffy pod dome. I removed the sprouted ones into small styrofoam cups with 2 holes in bottom and filled with Miracle Grow organic choice garden soil.

I'm looking for what nutes to feed and feedback :)

pics soon
DO NOT BUY... seeds from pepperhead.com... i bought '4' diff packs this spring, and not one of em sprouted.... NOT ONE... they are started in the same parkseed bio-dome as the other seeds from park/burpee/seedsavers/etc, which ALL have sprouted..

pepperhead.com = SHITTY SEEDS.... DONOTBUY

So is all that Heat in the peppers just a taste, or is it a sign of energy content in the seeds ?
i got a cayenne seed stuck between my teeth, right up against the gum. Damn the burn. I broke it with a tooth pick which didn't help and finally got it out with some floss. There was some energy there, lol

I don't think the energy of the heat has anything to do with the energy of the plant. Genetics

i brought my '3' reapers i overwintered in my green house room outside about 2 weeks ago- already one of the plants has a shit-load of peppers - they are small... real small, but i tried one yesterday- ofcourse its not reaper hot, but it def has a bit of fire , and it already has that reaper 'smell'-

so my overwintered reapers were brought outside around mid may, and i have dozens and dozens of flowers and a shitload of peppers.... but.... they are the size of a small (real small) grape.... many have already turned orange (not red yet)- i sampled a few yesterday at dinner.... hot.... definitely..... but certainly not reaper hot yet... i'm hoping the many flowers will produce regular size reapers...

sounds like you need to up pot the pepper into a bigger container.
