Damn it's a freaking tree. You're going to be the sauce boss for sure.

Man you called it. That's at my parent's place and my mother got the plant because she loves my serrano salsa.

I've got a thai chili plant here, I'll post that soon. Gizmo killed all my serrano plants when he was a plant murdering kitten.

Nice, Soil looks decent. Always remember to add extra org. fertilzer when in pots, at least that is what I do, because they don't seem to fruit that well as opposed to not in pots.

Looks like a great yield. This is one I don't grow because there's a bin full of these and jalapenos at the local mexican market.

I am growing Habs, since they have those less commonly, and the bang (capsium) for the buck is so high.

The meaty peppers with thick walls are nice in cooking when you want some substance along with the heat.

Habs are too hot for me these days, they give me volcanus.

Just have to keep your tolerance level up. At my peak a few years ago, I could add a Carolina Reaper to my meal with no issues.

However, I found out when a bit drunk one night that 3 Carolina Reapers were way too much. Had 5 hours of agony on the toilet while holding a bucket for oral emissions.

Haven't grown them since, but I buy the powder and lightly sprinkle it on my food.

I used to be able to eat habs like they were nothing but coming out it still hurts and causes issues. El Yucateco makes a wonderful habanero xxxhot sauce I used to put on everything, now I have to be careful with it.
