Very cool stuff really. the majority of the plants are hangin now and I'll pick the leaves off it and stack them in a few weeks or so... it's been fun... I have no idea how to roll tho.. I'll have planty to practice with..  maybe I'll desigh a 'DrafterX' band... |

The big challenge is fermenting the leaves. Let me know if you come up with an easy, home-doable method. Your plants are easily 3x the size of mine....nice going!!  |

| 17. Author: DrafterX | Date: Tue, 4/17/2012, 2:47PM EST | |
Jalepenos & habaneros last year.... nothing in there yet this year.. prolly more peppers... I should try to find JHC tho...  |

what if you'd allowed one to flower and seed... Would that have provided new seedlings?

These were Pennsylvania Broad Leafs... they would prolly grow in Maryland if they grew here.. kept them in pots in the sunroom over the winter and let them loose when it warmed up.. you should give it a try...  |

several seedlings came up but didn't make it.. all the plants I had flowered but I heard you have to keep the flowers cut... I still have some pods and stuff I should check out.. there maybe some some seeds in them.. |
| 21. Author: John hay Cigars | Date: Wed, 10/31/2012, 1:40PM EST | |
You did a great job with them. I have some seeds from this years crop that I will try out for next year. |
| 22. Author: DrafterX | Date: Wed, 10/31/2012, 1:41PM EST | |
Topped for JHC (the kids Grandfather).... |
| 23. Author: DrafterX | Date: Wed, 10/31/2012, 1:42PM EST | |
you found it.... I was surprised to see all the green in the pot I threw seeds in... almost didn't expect to see anythihng.... they are in there real tight together so if the keep growing I'll have to carefully separate them..... |
| 24. Author: Numismaniac | Date: Wed, 10/31/2012, 2:03PM EST | |
so you've already tried them fer viability, cool...........they will need to be plucked out/separated pretty soon, within 2 months they will get a few inches tall and need a good sized pot |

Very cool Drafter.

So William, didja eventually roll them into cigars and smoke them? Or use it for your pipe? Or did I miss a post about that?  |
