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 57: Capsicum Carotenoid Changes

Over the past four days or so, the pepper has made a drastic change in color in its early ripening stages. It probably has enough capsaicin to kill a developed fetus by now. The process occurred a lot quicker than expected, so the pepper may be ready for harvesting by October 31st. We received some great suggestions for the use of the pepper, including contraceptive adulteration, but we are requesting Halloween-themed ideas instead. Comment them below!

    It almost looks like candy corn. Just in time for trick or treaters.
