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 91: Idiocracy (couldn't find Brawndo, but still have the electrolytes!)

Tomorrow, I will be leaving the peppers for 10 days over Thanksgiving break. In order to provide them with what is required for their survival, I have devised a low budget self-sustaining setup. I filled a large Gatorade bottle with water and poked two small holes in the cap. This should allow water to seep out slowly over the next couple days. Hopefully, it will not get clogged and will effectively disperse water. Also, I have setup an outlet timer to provide the plants with 14 hours of the LED plant light per day. Aside from this, they should be able to survive on their own. We will check back in with the peppers in 10 days!
