Ozzy2015 Glog

OCD Chilehead · Aug 23, 2015

Glad to see you harvesting some pods. Here's to many more.

Thanks for sharing

Ozzy2001 · Sep 16, 2015

Man between brewing beer and kids and work I've really got behind on here. I need to get caught up on everybody else's glogs too. This is the best time of year, with all the harvesting.
Lol hell, I haven't even had time to clear my cheater tank.

Latest details are that the weeds are for real. I've just been pulling them away from the base of the plants so it's going ok. The plants are looking great and really branching out. Hornworms have set back quite a few plants. I have a couple of plants that got totally stripped. Leaves are sprouting back out so if I'm lucky I'll get a pod or 2 out of them.

The BBG7 are bleeding, so I'm pretty happy about that.

Thes SB7Js are really great too. I was lucky enough to get 2 phenotypes on my 2 plants.

The Naga Morich are straight fire. I have reapers and Morugas too but the sliver I ate off of a couple of these torched me up.

The Bhuts are coming in nice too.

The chocolate Bhut's are finally coming in as well. I'll have to get some pics of those.

All in all, it's been a pretty great season. My freezer is pretty loaded I've learned a whole lot.

Great looking fruit

Ozzy2001 · Sep 20, 2015

Small pull this morning

Next wave should be a good one. Lots of unripe pods on the plants right now.

Will probably do a couple more sauces. I'm going to make some powder with a lot of it too.

Thanks. I'm pretty happy with it. I've never done a grow this size, so I've learned a lot. Next year I will probably not do so many varieties, and instead do more of the ones I really like, along with some new ones.

Cool. My other plant puts out the grass hut pheno, but I haven't had any of them lately.

Thanks. Fortunately, I have close to a month left. The weather here is going to be warmer than average for the next couple of weeks.

Ozzy2001 · Sep 26, 2015

Finally getting around to smoking some of my peppers.
Mixed Baccatums. I have 4 trays of them in the dehydrater now.

Mixed smoked chocolate pods. These are going to go in a ferment with some fresh chocolate pods.

That's what i'm talking bout! love them roasted chocolates.

Now this is going to seem to be a stupid question .. I know a lot of forum members have "smokers" in particular the Bradley's I think but looking at your picture it seems to be a conventional BBQ with maybe a hood. Pods in the dehydrator will in time go crisp but a smoked pod looks damp ... do you now blend them to make a sauce or are they preserved in another way

Sorry but smokers are not greatly used in the UK ... However we can buy flavoured wood "Jack Daniel's" infused is quite popular

Thanks in anticipation

Not a stupid question at all. It's a Webber Smokey Mountain smoker. I used Apple wood to smoke them with. I put the Baccatums in my dehydrater and the chocolate pods are goin to go in a jar with some fresh chocolate to ferment for a sauce. I have a bunch of red supers I smoked too and I'll probably mix them with some fresh pods to make a purée.
I'm planning to make powder with the dehydrated pods.

Thanks Scott for your reply ... that sounds like one mean chocolate sauce ... and there is me just making chilli jam and clear chilli jelly ... time to push the boundaries and get me a smoker. Thanks

Ozzy2001 · Sep 27, 2015

This sauce made me want to make something similar. It's not that spicy though, so the hotter peppers will take care of that.

Ozzy2001 · Oct 17, 2015

Covering up for the night. 70's/50's next week or so after tonight.

tsurrie · Oct 17, 2015

Can't be careful enough... although 50°F is not yet so low. We had 40° in the morning these days and I'll see what is going to happen.

This morning was in the 30's. Not sure what it ended up getting down to, but we didn't get any frost. I didn't want to take a chance though with the decent weather for the next week or so.
