None unfortunately. Just the same stuff you will find in Peru with maybe a different regional name. It's still fun to grow stuff that you bring back from a trip,even if not pepper related. Enjoy yourself.
Trying to copy a sauce from a local Mexican restaurant. Orange in color medium heat. Menu calls it Arbol sauce but when I have experimented with the Arbol peppers they are too hot and I don’t get the orange cooler. Like hot but not psycho hot. Thoughts anyone?
@Linyera I believe you will fit in very well here, welcome aboard. 😉 Marturo

I only started at the en of the 70's, but my work and life as a game ranger and PH in Southern Africa got me to load a lot. Its in my blood. Now here in Argentina I do not load so much, but I have to do hog controll to keep the freezer full!
We live in a place where we seldom see people. Sometimes someone pases by on his mule, but only once a month at most.

Hope everyones 2024 grow season is off to a good start... May all your hooks turn to a full on bush LOL
Bad start for peppers this year, nothing sprouted after 10 days (even the chinense) and the growdown seeds are making their way around the world.

Thanks for the offer, i did start a new batch of seeds, and they germinated just fine. Sometimes its just weird

I’m back now. They eat a lot of seafood and not as much chili as I thought..lol
It has been a few years since I was last here and even longer since my last grow. Not sure who of the crew may still be on here, but after 5 years I am able to grow again. Hope to have many good conversations this season and many more to come!!

Y'all ain't gonna believe this, but I just started my FIRST ever pepper mash ferment this weekend, so I was looking for info, and I new I had to come back here for professional advice. A lot has happened since the last time I logged in. New house. Dementia mother-in-law. COVID. My last bout with COVID left me with a gut issue where I can't even eat pepperoncinis anymore. I'm hoping ferments will help with that.

not really a trick but making sure your seed stock isn't old goes a long way. I've tried soaking seeds but I'm not sure it helped that much with germination rate. I might suggest an on and off heat cycle to replicate day and night temps but that may just decrease gemination time.

the global HQ shot is really funny, and also amazingly beautiful.

Thanks! It's a converted 1888 church, so it's really cool but also completely impractical. The renos were done over 35 years by a handy and creative couple who had no real idea what they were doing so nothing is to code. It's been a 6 year adventure for us as we uncover things and fix them.
