Spicegeist 2014 - The Year of the Bhut

This year I'm growing primarily bhut/naga types.
 
Not much to look at now, but thought I'd kick things off since I'm already starting seeds:

 
Here's my list:
  1. Red Bhut
  2. Choco Bhut
  3. Yellow Bhut
  4. Peach Bhut
  5. Shabu Jolokia
  6. Naga King
  7. Naga Morich
  8. Naga Suomi
  9. Dorset Naga
  10. Guwahati Bhut
  11. Pale Bhut / Bih Jolokia
  12. Jay's Peach
  13. Fatalii
  14. Lota Bih
  15. C. galapagoense

First.
 
Nice list.  Do you always start this early?  How many plants total do you plan to grow and do you start them all now or stagger the dates?
 
I like your list, Charles, nice and focused with a manageable number
of varieties!  How many of each are you planning on?
 
That's a nice looking list you have their. Good luck with your grow. I have some Bengal Naga, Bhut Indian Carbon and White Bhut seeds if you would like to add to your grow.

I don't keep very accurate records when it comes to start dates, but I believe last year I started somewhere between Christmas and New Year's Eve.  Ideally I'll have 32 plants... but we'll see.

A nice stand of seedlings. Looks like you put two seeds per pot, and you've got good germination. How many days between planting and when the picture was taken?

Some of the seedlings started in those pots, others were transferred in, kind of an experiment to see how it works out.  Starting them in smaller pots is advisable.  They germinated in the usual times, a few quick ones, but nothing out of the norm.

Good luck, Mike

Haha, yeah.  I'm looking forward to the Shabu.  A few of the others are new to me this year too.

Yeah, lots of bhuts. Don't forget to add Indian Carbon bhuts to that list. Judy has seeds.

I grew carbon bhuts a couple years ago and had some pods sent to me this year... if only that one phenotype I really like would grow true...
 
Charles you're off to a good start, are seedlings from  your F2's 3's ..etc or just starting from a new batch ?
In any case you're way ahead of my start...have fun raising those babies......they'll grow like weeds......Plants

It'll vary, I'm planning on having 32 plants, but I'm sure I'll have more than that and won't have the heart to throw them away.

Oh nice, thanks for the offer, but I'll stick to this for 2014.  Maybe we can trade some pods later on if you're growing those out too.

Ha, yeah.  Some of them are new to me, others I've been growing for at least one season.  I think of this list, I've been growing the Naga Morich and the Yellow Bhut the longest.
 
Amazing list Charles! I like the theme!
Focusing on few beloved varieties it's hard but well worth imho
I'll try to mail you a couple Mem Jolokia seeds (i've got 7-8 this week) if i'm not too late, so you can carry on a Frontal Agritech nostalgia season :D
Fatalii + Lotah... are you trying to re-create a Bhut from scratch? :)
 
Best of luck!

Hi Charles,
   Nice list you have going for 2014! I see we have a little overlap... I have Guwahati Bhut planted that I got from cmpman, and the Lotah Bih seeds I got from you have sprouted already. Good luck with your grow!

Excellent.  My lota bih germinated very fast too.

Very nice list, Charles! I'm also growing your Naga Suomi, plus the Naga Morich (THSC), and Giant Naga (romy6)...not to mention the NagaBrain (romy6) and Todd W's Chocolate NagaBrain...

Thanks!  I'm curious to see if your Naga Suomi comes out true or crossed (the pod I sent you was open pollinated)... either way, I'm sure it will be a good one!
