glog Marturos 2025 Glog.

Hello everyone, welcome to my 2025 Glog.
2024 was a great year for peppers we grew many new varieties with great tasting pods.

2025 is looking good so far we just got the seeds planted & on the heating mats.
A little later than last season however with LEDs we needed to start the plants later.
Last season the plants were a little root bound by plant out..

This one was supposed to be an aji Amarillo.
It has a wonderful lemongrass flavor with sweet fruity flavor, heat a little over Serrano. We like it.
What is it, any guesses?

Aji Lemon Drop or Aji Pineapple?

Was to be an Aji Mango stumpy. Fruity, sweet & full flavored, I like it better than my old Aji Mango with larger pods, same heat level.

Save seeds from that baby!
 
Hey Marturo, first of all, I'm glad you're well!

Aji Limon ?

I'm seeing now orange hues on some peppers; I'd rule out aji limon, which is just solid yellow. I don't have a reference, but they also seem a little bigger

Check out this Aji chombo, I saved the seeds from the bonnet shaped chombos. 😃

Incredible!
This year I planted aji chombo because I'd heard from you good things about it, but it has a very different shape. I got the seeds from Semillas, and they seem to match the seller's specifications. It seems that after datil and scotch bonnet, I have yet another phenotypic variant...

Review: aromas of milk (chinense), strawberry, watermelon, peach, and sugar. It starts with a light vegetal flavor, which then increases with the onset of spiciness (mouth, cheekbones, then throat and tip of the tongue) with notes of milk, strawberry, and raspberry. The flavor persists, and the spiciness is pleasant and remains well-rounded and full-bodied. I'm not crazy about the attack of the flavor (this also happens to me with my scotch bonnet; I don't know about your variations). I prefer immediate flavors, but in the long run, it turns out to be a good pepper. I'd like to know how you'd describe the flavor of your aji chombo!

While I'm at it, here are photos of my scotch bonnet (simple pumpkin shape). I'd like to ask you and @MarcV (two scotch bonnet enthusiasts), as well as others, if yours also start with a tasteless, vegetal attack, then explode as the spiciness builds (milky, orange-fruity flavors). Because I don't know if all scotch bonnets are like this, or just mine... I'd like a scotch bonnet that starts with the flavor right away

I'd have to do a taste test first, haven't eaten any bonnet this year yet 🙄. Luckily I have one ripening now, a WHP II which I never tried before... 🙂

It's not a Scotchie, & it's not a Red Habanero. The flavors is deep tropical & intense with an all consuming spiciness that blends well with other pepper mixes & Sauces. I would say you hit it on the head with the flavors & spice.

Your right that's a pic of the other Aji pepper my wife calls Aji peach, the Aji Limon is bright canary yellow & the Aji Mango is mango orange.

This is the shape of my Chombos.
