Scorpion - Early Start

THECHRISE · Jan 12, 2015

OK. I think this is a scorpion but i've been mixing my plants up lately. LOL

6" pot. Flowers already forming. Pretty neat.

Thank you! This is my first year growing anything besides pubes. Learned everything from these forums!

While im not an expert, this looks nothing like my scorpion pepper plant. All of them that i have seen, including mine, have extremely close node spacing, with short fat wrinkly leaves. Again, im no expert, and could be completely wrong.

I have to ask. How old is your plant. It looks very nice.

You're the second one to say that, which worries me a bit. Can you post a picture of yours? What does it look like?

Here is mine. Be advised, it is a little unorthodox, as it is topped and trained. but you can still get the idea of the short bushy nature by the tops. Putting on flowers in clusters as well. She is very dense from node to node.

Thanks. The leaves look similar even though it might not look like it from the picture I posted. Maybe in another month or when it starts fruiting we'll know. Lord knows, I've already mixed two plants up already,

Yeah, I actually made my original comment away from my plants. Looking now, your leaves are not that different from mine. Could just be the angle of your pic too. And I have A TON of light in my cabinet so everything nodes super tight.

Are there any nodes with multiple buds? It's hard to see exactly in the picture. If there aren't it's either because it's not a scorpion (or any chinense pepper) or because it simply hasn't started growing multiple buds due to conditions.
