Post your starting photo of your seeds and lets get cracking
 
 
 
Variety - Mako Akokosrade (Capsicum Chinense)
SHU - 250k to 300k
 
This rare chilli comes from Ghana in Africa and its origins seem to be lost in the mysteries of this timeless land.
It certainly has the chinense taste and is a little fruity and has been described as having a distinctive taste of its own.
The Mako Akokoscrade has enough heat to keep most people satisfied. Perfect for cooking and making powders.
 
Started - 01st June
Propagation - Coco coir in sealed plastic pot (30C in germinator)

Cumari Do Para.
Capsicum Chinense.
I would guess the scoville at around 100-200K. Flavor wise, this thing is a Chinense bomb! No sweetness, no fruity, just Chinense! I honestly hated the flavor, but out of a 18" tall by 18" wide plant (in a 16 liter pot) I got well over a thousand thumbnail-sized pods, so it was a no-brainer for this growdown.

Interesting stuff, folks. Should be a fun contest!
 
Will give you a 6week headstart, just to make it fair. [emoji16]

I have a 2 week holiday till 7 July.
No use starting now. [emoji853]

I had just about given up on my seeds germinating. Checked on them yesterday and one sprouted........out of 9 seeds planted. Not sure if it is going to make it or not. These seeds were old, so not a big surprise, but i probably wont start over if these fail. Looks like you guys may have dodged a bullet![emoji23]

Sad to not have you on board this year CMJ, but hopefully there are still some peeps out there that are still in this ?

Mako got repotted today and is a very interesting colour so far ...

Hopefully my seeds will be here at the start of the week and i'll be into it. i didn't really have a clue on what would be heavy croppers so i just choose a couple that look good. I've got Jayboc, sugar rush cream, Corno di Toro Rosso, Klavo peach,7 Primo Hybrid AKA ‘THE GOD STOPPER!',  Bad brains. haven't chosen a variety for this challenge yet. any tips for what could be a good producer?
