One should keep in mind, when choosing hot peppers, that their Scoville rating is just a potential of how hot it can get, not necessarily does. the pepper produces capsaicin (the hot stuff) as a defense against harm (being eaten). Sometimes you can love them too much! Lots of water, fertilizer, perfect sun/shade, will make the plant comfortable and unproductive. Try stressing your peppers by reducing the water cycle during mid to late fruit stage.

In a perfect world: Fertilize your peppers with a mix that is low in nitrogen, high in potassium, high in phosphorus. The nitrogen isn't so important, the pepper just doesn't absorb it (Beware! High nitrogen will cause "nutrient lock", stopping uptake of nutrients and starving in out). Potassium: Buy a potash additive or burn hardwood to ash in your barbeque, tilling either in to the soil before planting. Phosphorus: Buy Bone Meal or Bat Guano, Or till in banana peel if nothing else. As a matter of superstition, I plant a matchstick when the flowers drop!

It's not, though! cupcakesmom has had this locked down since it opened (Thanks, BTW). I haven't packaged them up, but it looks like I will only have two more of these to put up. It's an expensive and rare seed, and getting it for free is a no brainer.

I know, I want to get them out before it's too late to plant. And although I love to watch (and be a part of) a bid war, it is still impressive to see someone just OWN an auction. cupcakesmom uber alles.
