I checked SHUs on multiple sites, but there may be some errors. If you find one, or know an approximate SHU for a variety fell free to comment.
I am also going to isolate a few varieties, maybe I will be able to do some trade here. :)

 
Let's see the pictures:
 
[2013-03-01] Most of the seeds (Judy, Grant, Neil, Candice, Semillas, Ford's Fiery Food, eBay/premier_seeds_direct)

[2013-03-14] I put the seeds in papertowel for a few days before planting:

[2013-03-18] A few more seeds arrived (BOC; Jwala; Hungarian Death), I also made some labels from plastic bottles:

[2013-03-20] Workspace:

[2013-03-20] A few seeds already started sprouting (Rocoto San Isidro):

[2013-03-20] The weather was good inside the polytunnel :)

[2013-03-20] I labeled ~1.500 pots, the other seeds were in trays:

[2013-03-26] After sowing most of the seeds:

[2013-03-26] Polytunnel inside a polytunnel. The temperature at night was still a bit cold, after a few days we had some really cold nights (-10C), so I even had to install 2 heaters:

[2013-04-13] Moruga Scorpions [Red] in a no budget mini greenhouse [cake holder]:

The first Moruga Scorpion [Red] pods in the mini greenhouse. I installed nettings on both doors before flowering to prevent cross pollination, hope all plants are pure:

Impressive.  You must be swimming in pods now.  How have your marketing efforts worked out?
 
At the moment I have way more pods than I can sell. Here in Hungary people don't really know about these (Almapaprika and Cherry pepper are the common hot varieties). You can sell them in small quantities, but I have 2000+ plants. You can imagine how many pods I have... :)
Tried to sell 8 Aji Crystals for 1$, but sold only a few.
 
Cheiro Roxa:
DSC_6143_Roxa_zps53feea60.jpg

 
The seeds are from Fatalii, 5 plants have purple leaves (left), the one on the right might be a hybrid, or the seeds were mixed up. Will find out next year, both plants were isolated.
 
Finally bought a dehydrator, unfortunately here in Hungary the Excalibur is pretty expensive (600 USD+), so I stayed with this model. It has 4 trays (it is possible to extend it up to 10 trays) and the temperature is adjustable.
This is the test run (FG Jigsaw, Cheiro Roxa, 7 Pod White, Jalapeno, Moruga Scorpion Yellow, etc):

The test run went really well, so I picked some chilies to dry. :)

Moruga Scorpion, CGN 21500.

Nice harvests.  What's the story on those last two?  Do you know anything about their origins?
