Spicegeist 2017 – Twelve Variations on “Bhut Jolokia”

Spicegeist · Feb 27, 2017

Cold weather is back, freezing two nights in a row. All the plants are back inside. I put eight plants back under the lights, left the other 4 by a south-facing window. Now just waiting for warmer weather.

Sorry about the cold weather. Mine come in tomorrow when I get home, just moved them out the potential wind we expect.

Hopefully just for a few days.

The cold weather was your punishment for talking
about the crazy great weather you are having. Really
hard to read. Franky, very sad

Just kidding, good job tucking your plants in. Sounds like
here, a game of musical chairs balancing act. Your plants
look great, guys!

My favorites have been under lights mostly, in a holding pattern. I put them out for about an hour today.

Plants looking most excellent, Charles. I like that last picture with the frame.

Guwahati's you sent me are doing well. Nice and healthy looking. Only got one of the Galapagoense sprouted. I will baby her. The others are nice and healthy as well.

Thanks again.

I forget, was it the GuwaX cross that I sent you or straight Guwahati Bhuts? Congrats on getting a C. galapagoense to sprout... they do not do so regularly like domesticated species.

Long term goal with this cross is to retain that nice bhut flavor and heat levels with some dark coloration:

Excellent foliage. Love the dark stem. The ones you sent said 1 and 2. I'll have to go and look at the actual label. I have 4 of each going. I'll send ya some pics when I get a chance.

Malarky · Mar 24, 2017

OCD Chilehead · Mar 24, 2017

Just checked and they are the cross.

OK, wow! You're probably the only person growing this one. I'm not sure I gave it to anyone else... I could be mistaken, but at a minimum very few people have it :cool:
