Bhut jolokia pepper seeds
I was curious if i should buy these seeds from a local grower since
the seeds would come from plants already growing in my climate and may be more acclimatized than buying them overseas with a different climate. I'm in Southern Calif. I think its too late to plant them now so will have to wait until next year. |

I think its too late to plant them now so will have to wait until next year. My guess would be that acclimatization is mostly a matter of probabilities, that the local seeds differ from the overseas seeds in gene expression frequencies, and that a batch of overseas seeds would have all the options that the local seeds do ... and maybe more. That is, odds are that normal genetic variation within a batch of seeds from a different climate will yield a set of plants adapted to your climate, and your plants may actually have some genes that have been lost within the local gene pool. -- ..NET 2.0 for Delphi Programmers www.midnightbeach.com/.net |

Heck, harvest would start in Oct. If you have the seeds already, give it a go. Last year I grew me a 2 year supply of habaneros from 6 plants. Growing Ja-lap-pen-noz this year. Less heat, better flavor but then, I always work in a little of last year's heat. - Bill Coloribus gustibus non disputatum (mostly) |
