I gave away a lot before I knew what my pHs were, too. I started doing it it because it doesn't hurt anything to test it.

I started my first ghost pepper sauce this past weekend. My ghost pepper plants in the past had only put out a couple peppers, but this year they went nuts and made more fruit than I've ever seen. Those are some hot little bastards. I took a bite out of one and regretted it. Last night I smelled the gas coming out of the fermenter and got pretty choked up.

My experience with the real hot peppers is that they seem to take a lot longer to develop into producing plants unlike some peppers like jalapeno, Belgian hot wax, etc.

The first year I grew Ghost Peppers didn't see me picking many until damn near fall after being planted in the early spring. Same with the Trinidad Scorpion Butch T's. If they overwinter and come back in the spring, then they will start earlier, but last winter N.O. had several nights well below freezing and I lost all my pepper plants. It's only been the last 6 weeks or so that my habanero peppers have been coming in pretty strong. I'm picking about 50+ a week now with no end in sight.
