LAND OF THE GIANTS 2017 - Biggest Bonnet Competition

dennish · Jun 6, 2017

Here's my plant in a 15l AirPot, slowly turning into a monster... lots of little pods forming now too.

Excellent plant Dennis ... the air pruning pot should really push the plant along ... is this your challenge contender or have you others in the wings

Cheers John, this is my one and only plant... all MOA eggs in one basket, or should that be AirPot! [emoji3]

Here are two small pods harvested off
one of the MoA Bonnets. I'll post size
and weight pic later for the team score
tally.

Shorerider · Jun 11, 2017

Here's my entry of the biggest pod my only MOA Bonnet plant produced.

Weighed in at 19 grams.

Girth measured in at 148mm.

Please let me know if I haven't met the required rules for measurements before I eat this pod.

Best of luck to all who enter.

Nice pod Shorerider well done! Photos spot on, I make that a score of 33.8... I'll post up a leader board soon [emoji3]

Cannot wait until mine start making pods, they are only a foot tall or so at this point.

Late September I should have some entries.

Trident chilli · Jun 11, 2017

Way behind ... tortoise and the hare scenario I hope ... will move from the vegative light to flowering in the next week

alkhall · Jul 23, 2017

Plants are progressing much more quickly than I imagined, I might actually have a few ripe pods in the next couple of weeks.

@Dennish,

When do you plan to put up the leaderboard?

Thanks

stickman · Jul 29, 2017

Still waiting for pods to ripen, but it's looking good on this end...

Cheers!

Trident chilli · Jul 29, 2017

Nice pods Rick must be a few grams there in weight

Picked handful today. Bottom middle is Juanitos, others are RFC.

The largest one (RFC):

Trident chilli · Aug 6, 2017

Nice pods Al should get you up there on the leaderboard

BSH · Aug 6, 2017

These are MOAs from Juanitos. Should have a real contender in a few weeks. The biggest one is behind all of these - will get a pic up soon.

On my other plant (which is in a 7 gallon pot), I have a few pods that have spikes on them and one has a tail like a reaper.

PaulG · Aug 6, 2017

My MoAs aren't producing anything like Al and BSH.
Recently started setting pods (1 4 out of 4 plants).
Here's a pic until I get something more to show:

Hoping for some blockbusters now that the temps are
cooling down to mid 80s (about 30C) :party:

.

update:

Okay, went out and looked more closely at my Bonnets
and found more pods hidden in the bushes:

Hopefully, they will continue setting and developing
some nice pods.

Oops, forgot to post this one:

BSH · Aug 6, 2017

I'm going to need a legit jerk sauce recipe with all of these pods. Anyone have a favorite to use with these?

Can't help with that, but wanted to say that's the
most awesome truss of Bonnets I've seen!

In Canada! Woah... :clap:

Great work, Brandon!

Thank you, sir! The climate is actually very nice here for peppers as the Niagara falls region is home to some of the best produce you can get, especially peaches and other tree fruit. This has been a poor summer though with too much rain and dark skies. Should be in the high 80's but it's 74 today and cloudy. What can you do? I didn't think I had any pods on my plant and then I lifted up a few big leaves and there was the mother lode! I have to give credit to excellent genetics that Juanitos provided though :dance:

Thanks for the kind words. I'm gaining so much knowledge from all of you fine people on here...it's hard to fail!

BSH · Aug 7, 2017

I took some more pics...they're all MOAs.

This one has a tail.

This is the spikey one.
