New water delivery method. This is so much easier than double-cup. Next year I'll actually buy a small bag of stones / smooth pebbles to use instead of sand. But for now, sand is perfectly fine. (Get it? Fine?)6yr ⋅ tekhnomancer ⋅ r/HotPeppers

Ok. I've determined I don't know the plant I'm growing. Labeled a ghost, but it has a notch below the shoulder, a stinger, and ZERO HEAT. AT ALL. Is this a cross? Or does anyone know what it might be? All the pods look nearly identical to this.7yr ⋅ tekhnomancer ⋅ r/HotPeppers
