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
 
I have been wanting to try growing bonchi for a while now, so I might as well jump in. If for some reason I fail to get my initial type to take can I switch varieties as long as it hasn't been claimed yet?
 
I would like to reserve 7-Pot Yellow (Large) and Peach Bhut Jolokia then if that counts as a different variety than 7-Pot Primo.

Im in, from SWEDEN! :)
Reserving definitely Bolivian Rainbow, and then Trinidad Perfume (not sure if im gonna grow a bonchi of that), but yeah my definite bonchi is a Bolivian Rainbow :)
 
I'm in, but haven't chosen yet....
How about editing post #1 with the name and their choices, so it's right at the beginning of the thread :)

OK, I am tentatively choosing "Stupidjerk's" Thai pepper, and Tazmanian Habanero :)
 
I'll reserve Fatalii and 7 pot yellow (regular).

Do we need to use both? The way I read the rules was that this was only one bonchi plant and two if you wanted to graft them together. Correct?
 
the rule is you reserve two types of peppers and you will submit either one at the end of the time.

i made it that you reserve two just in case something happens to your first bonsai you have a back-up or if you want to graft them
 
you can choose a different one later on but just make sure not to switch every day if you need to switch or really want to switch it will be allowed
 
Cool, because I am starting from seeds, and they might not turn out splendidly, so I will do a couple backups also...

What is the ruling on more than one variety fused together?

Also, my thai seeds are from Stupidjerk, there are apparently numerous varieties of thai peppers, so maybe put the Stupidjerk into my selection, just in case someone has another specific variety they wish to choose :)
