That pepper will make you a ghost. I've watched enough youtube videos of people eating them to not want to waste garden space trying to grow one. Can you actually eat something that hot?

Big Guy,

What do you do to keep the seedlings from getting too spindly? The ones in the cans look like they are getting that way. Does it matter? I ask because I am starting plants indoors this year for the first time. Some of my squash, cucumber and tomatoes are a lot of stem - 3-4". The larger plants I transplanted from the original flat to peat pots for now. I have 4 weeks until I can get them in the ground though. Can you slow down the spindly growth?

No idea, but I like a challenge I reckon one would give me enough heat for 10,000 curries so could be interesting

Yes they start to get spindly, that means they are not getting enough light. I transplant them and bury the spindly stalk, after a week i'll transfer the transplants into my green house witch gets lots of light. They really like to be transplanted . That spindly stalk grows into a fantastic root system if burried.
