Wow, that was fast! Thanks for sending those seeds Charles. They came in the mail today.

Think you'd be interested in some Alphanerdz-strain Douglah seeds and some curried pineapple hot sauce made with Scotch Bonnets?

Playing catch up here, and what beautiful specimens!

Keep doing what you're doing

Thank you for being so generous, Charles. Likewise for me as well. If you want something I have let me know.

Have a great weekend.

Your awesome! I always follow your glogs! Would love to grow some cool bhuts.

It’s been so warm that left my plants out yesterday and all last night, so crazy to be doing this in mid-February:

Spicegeist · Feb 19, 2017

What I just posted (#47) showed the plants in the morning, here's what they look like now (in the afternoon), you can see the leaves perked up:

Some overwinters:

Devv · Feb 19, 2017

Very nice Charles! I had mine out in the sun too yesterday, been really warm this month here.

Are they going in the dirt or are you doing a container grow?

OCD Chilehead · Feb 19, 2017

Wow! Looking good. They really are liking that afternoon sun. All night! I wouldn't dare. That's crazy.

Thanks for sharing.

Those plants are looking really happy in the winter sun.

Datil · Feb 20, 2017

Wow, it seems that you had a great headstart Charles!
We'll see blooms/pods soon

Yes! Each seed packet marked 2016 is from a different pod from that plant... I like to grow out seed from different pods, I imagine it might help slightly with the genetics...

Ok. I'll let you know which I choose to grow out. Sadly I don't have room for all of them. But if I share them around THP I will faithfully pass on the correct identification.

Of the 4, Is there a particular specimen you'd like me to try?

OK. Grow whichever you like, share whatever you want, that's fine... there's nothing especially noteworthy about their differences at this point.

Yep, it's so strange to see.

I know, seems crazy, but the temps are completely manageable.

Container grow only for me. I do look at fields near where I live and imagine them planted with bhut jolokia though!

It's sure a crazy spring Charles! We're nowhere near where you are, but I saw our first Red-winged Blackbirds in our bird feeder in the back yard this morning... we usually don't see them until March.

Spicegeist · Feb 20, 2017

I brought them in last night (probably didn't need to), but I'll just leave them out until Saturday:
