That Puna Miris on the left getting red looks great, as for the other plants, better throw them out...I see a lot of cancer there. You don't want that. Besides who wants pods that dry before they ripen anyway?

Really, put them in the dehydrator after you pick them please.... :rolleyes:

Now you see my evil plan after all! Everyone's pods drying before they weigh them! muahahahahah

Hey, Rich. I will definitely weigh them. I cleaned off
the plant yesterday in hopes of spurring more
flowering and pod-setting. Pic to follow...

Side note: I tried a green pod. Very tasty and a
nice mild heat. A unique flavor, almost had a
back hit like an Aji Amarillo. That kind of 'dusty'
overtone... don't know how else to describe it.

Dust is about right, spicy dust

:high:

Here's what I'm talking about. Just picked these 10 minutes ago. Plants look amazingly healthy and get plenty of water. Temps in the 80s. I dont think I've ever had pods do this before.

Have you guys tried a more shaded spot? My lil Mac has been doing this but I also have white flies attacking

Here's that Vay-Kay pull I mentioned earlier in the week. Can't having them look all dried out in close to 2 weeks being away...

Devv · Jun 21, 2019

4 plants, 4 phenos. The 22 caliber, the longs, and both red and orange, smaller with a bit of a twist.

ORANGE!!!!!! That's a contender for the best cross of Sri Lanka Chili for sure. "Sri Lanka Chili Orange"

Ruid · Jun 22, 2019

Is it a cross or a natural variation?

Edmick · Jun 22, 2019

Those orange pods are pretty badass. Those are seed savers for sure

MarcV · Jun 23, 2019

Those orange ones are real beauties! Do they differ in any way from the red ones? Besides of the color of course

Hey guys, didn't post anything in a while, life happens and such.

The plant is still alive and well. A lot smaller then I thought it would be this time of the year. I started to many plants this year so couldn't repot when it was necessary and weather wasn't too nice in the last weeks. But hey, I got flowers now, so I can realistically hope for a pepper or two. The plant itself is quite a beauty though, nice compact growth and bushing out even without topping. My other peppers don't look half as nice...

Alright Pepper Man! Nice specimen, will be
interesting to see what kind of pods come
from it.

NeedsWork · Jun 23, 2019

First weigh in! Looks like I have a ton of posts to check out. And some catching up to do.

Total: 16g

PaulG · Jun 23, 2019

Nice looking bush and pods!

saiias · Jun 24, 2019

Officially on the board with this beauty. Yay!

Total so far: 04 g

skullbiker · Jun 25, 2019

Pulled today. At least this should get me in the list!

Edmick · Jun 26, 2019

I've finally decided on a plant. She's PACKED full of pods. I'll be harvesting them green because I prefer the flavor over ripe red. These are KILLER in a stir fry

DontPanic · Jun 26, 2019

I'm glad to hear a few other people are having a similar experience with the slowness to ripen to a full red color. I've had a bunch of peppers for a while now, but they refuse to ripen to a red color.

If this keeps up, I may quietly shift gears to the "Sri Lankan Chili GREEN".

Have you tried them green? They are incredible. They have more depth in my opinion.
