Medusa nodes

Hybrid Mode 01 · Jul 26, 2014

Quick question: what's the highest number of flowers / pods you've ever seen growing out of one node on a plant? I had a red bhut last year that had maybe three or four. I thought that was pretty cool. But I have a 7 pot yellow this year in a 10 gallon container that's blowing that plant out of the water!

There are eight pods and at least two buds at this node.

So let's see 'em (or at least hear about 'em). Which of your plants have grown medusa nodes?

I think for me it was right around 8 - 10 on a 7 pot something and also on a yellow ghost.

Jesus Christ.
I have about 3-4 on habaneros, and I think I got 5 once on a sunrise scorpion. Didn't all set though.

I had 14 on a Fatalii cross last year, sadly only 3 pods set from that node.

Are youz guys talking about flowers or pods?

Pods at least that is what I was talking about, I had a red fatalii in a 17gal pot that put out about 150 pods, many of the nodes had 5-6 but I was most impressed by one node off the central stem that put out 9 pods and they all ripened pretty close to the same

It's inside right now. I can't wait to see what it does in 2015!

Just followed a link from another thread to this one. When I get back to my laptop I will post a pic or two of "The little hab that could"

Ok so here is a pic from my 2013 season

I never did count them. The top node went crazy.

Crazy is an understatement

That Hab is insane!

When i put it in the garden it was 5 inches tall and a bird snipped it to a stub. I noticed a speck of leaf so I let him go. Straight up it went with a stalk as thick as my middle finger. Then this appeared.
