PSU Trinidad Scorpion Peppers

A study on the effect of ignorance and neglect on the growth of Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Peppers at Penn State University:

90 day (approx) experiment to determine whether it is possible for four entrepreneurial college freshmen to successfully germinate, plant, and maintain a Trinidad Scorpion plant and see it through to fruition.

Day 36: Things are starting to get spicy

        Over the past week or so, we have seen some development in a single pepper bud. The peppers have been making excellent progress. However, we have decided to eliminate both lamps and to utilize the LED plant light by itself due to fast drying that was occurring. The plants have been looking very healthy since then, so we plan to continue with this course of action for the time being. 
         On another note, we were under the assumption that most of the seeds were dead when we planted the four live sprouts. We threw them into the pot unsuspectingly and earlier this week, two of them just happened to sprout out of the soil. That was an unexpected delight. We will be updating the progress of the two new sprouts and the single pepper over the upcoming days!
