Pods and plants look amazing. Question? Do you put drip irrigation under your solar mulch? Your plants look text book.
Really nice job with the plants and congrats on the pods.

Thank you sir. No drip irrigation under the solar mulch. I water by hand but have only watered them I think a total of 3 times this summer and it's been crazy dry. The poly really helps keep moisture in the ground, I love the stuff. Cheers

Thick hard walled, very crunchy. A little bitter. Got some on a portobello pizza will see how they taste

Here's the volunteer in the garden. very purple

Very cool, the purple plant looks great. I like that the pods are pointing up like the Maui purple.

overall report, The large pods look cool. I'm not impressed on flavor or texture. Even after cooked they was very crunchy. I'll send you some to try for yourself here in a few weeks.

Well that's a bummer was hoping they taste really good. At least the smaller version taste good. I'm looking forward to trying the 3 phenos I have when they ripen. I've tried one so far and it was like a fruity Serrano, but haven't had a ripe pod yet. Anything that ends up tasting really good I'll send you some to try. Cheers

I had hopes as well. Was envisioning something smoky and rich for some reason. Sort of like guajillo

The F2 Hot Rod/CBBG cross is completely different than mine. My pods are small, but very productive.

I have 7 or 8 F2's and only one looks similar to the F1. I'll snap some pics next time to share, cheers.

Thanks buddy, I'm saving the best for last

Are we kidding somebody?! Look at all of those terrific crosses and heavily loaded, healthy plants. Those Bonnet x BBG: I love em! A great addition to the Bubblegum family. The Hot Rod Serrano x Choc BBG F2 "Crazy Strain" looks amazingly. JPGS x Yellow BBG is gonna be awesome! I love the flavor of both. Man, a lot going on here. Everything looks dynamite! Great stuff!

FreeportBum · Sep 11, 2017

Hey folks thanks for all the love ^^^ So I went and did something I said I would never do and got engaged. Been really busy and lot's of new changes here and probably won't be on as much for a while. Hope everyone is good and enjoying the last days of summer.

Cheers my friends!

Bhuter · Sep 11, 2017
