bonchi grow log (everyone can post)

this is the grow log for the bonchi challenge. i am trying to limit the rules down to a few. IF YOU ARE NOT FROM THE US YOU CAN STILL BE A PART OF IT YOU JUST WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE PRIZE THANK YOU.


RULES.
1. everyone entered must have a seperate variety of plant. meaning if two people want to both enter a bhut jolokia. an agreement must be reached to where one person must choose a different type. if an agreement cant be reached the person who was first to reserve that plant gets to have that variety.
2. you must reserve your plant(s) on this thread asap.
3. limit of two different varieties can be reserved.
4. you must have 3 photos uploaded before or on the day of the end of the contest. one photo showing height of plant. another showing the canopy of plant. one more photo of your choice showing your plants best feature or a really nice photo.
5. your plant must be 2ft. at max. height including pot.
7. if you decide to fuse or graft your bonchi there is still a two variety limit so you must graft either the two varieties together or you can graft multiples of the same variety together.
6. your bonchi can be any type of pepper. wild, super-hot, rare, mild etc.
8. all three photos must be submitted to this thread by MONDAY, DECEMBER 16TH 2013. That should give you enough time to grow, cut down, then regrow as a bonchi.

I would like to reserve my two varieties now sepia serpent and 7pot primo http://thehotpepper.com/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/fireball.gif

goodluck everyone and feel free to post other bonchi experiments in here just note that those are not the contenders
 
Two plants/seedlings, or two varieties?

On my single varieties, I was planning on more like 6 seedlings fused together, since it is only a 10 month grow time, and I need the thick trunk that is unlikely from just 2 seedlings

So I hereby request that the "2" only refer to the varieties, and that you may use as many seedlings from those 2 varieties as each person deems fit :)
 
OK, I'll post the first photo :) Here is a few of my candidates for Bonchi....LOL

Looking good aren't they ;)

I was talking to my neighbor last night about bonchi plants, and she went to the bookshelf and handed me this to borrow :)

Well since I am in the prik kee noo suan contest. I will enter my plant from that after it is done with that contest!

Also how does that factor into the contest? Using a 2-3 year old plant and grafting other stuff into it?
 
i called the big dogs in for this one i called upon the bonsai spirits and contacted the master of knowledge.... just messing i googled it

so you want to reserve just the prik kee noo suan? would you like to choose to reserve another variety?
 
I figured the grafting was nightshade's secret technique....lol
Which would be legal if all the parts came from just two plants, if I read the rules correctly :)
 
Growing from seeds planted last friday, hope to have quick germination time :)
I will also try to germinate two seeds today so i can fuse them together!
Really think the 7 pots and habaneros look awesome as bonchis ;)
