7 Pot Primo

Death Spiral

Harvested some 7 pot cinders today:   Not as gnarly as the Cinders, but I was pretty pleased with my death spirals, too.  

I grew out 2 plants of Armageddon peppers this year.  I had a lot of difficulty finding any information on this variety, and none of the sites I purchased seeds from list it.  The best I could find was this 6 year old thread (which includes a comment that ironically says to give them 6 years due...

Took an updated picture of that 7 Pot Cinder, plus one of my Death Spirals.  Those two varieties are by far the most gnarly I have growing.   Edit: Apologies, but I can't figure out how to rotate these.  They appear with normal orientation on my computer and phone, but rotate 90 degrees when...

7 pot cinder f3. This photo was taken at the beginning of the month. It's almost completely ripe. I'll try to remember to upload a picture when I get home this afternoon. Last I looked at it, it looked to be staying true to the desired caramel pheno.

So far all my open pollinated plants have grown true; it's the isolated F3 - F5 plants that I keep getting off-pheno oddities. 

I just went through the exact same thing.  I transplanted about half my peppers into better soil, since I had used some cheap soil from Home Depot that had very poor drainage. I didn't rinse off the roots.  I just removed as much of the large clumps of poor soil, and re-potted in better soil. ...

I've seen multiple references to Bishops Crown peppers having a much higher SHU rating (5,000 - 30,000) than Mad Hatters (500 SHU). I haven't tried Bishops Crown to confirm that heat level, but I grow Mad Hatters, and 500 is just about right.

I've heard that many ornamental varieties of chiles can make a decent powder, which probably won't add much flavor, but will add a bit of heat to whatever you put it on.  I haven't tried this yet, though (none of my peppers are considered ornamental).

It does help indeed help; thanks again!

Thank you for reporting your results. Yours were the only results I found. My takeaway from your results was that topping slowed initial growth, which resulted in less overall production. However... It also seems like you had a short season. Does this seem a fair assessment? Its been my...

  Any word on the results?
