Thanks for the suggestion Scott!
I've grown the 'standard' Thai Orange (originally from SSE) which is smaller and hotter and produce like crazy as well; flavor is very nice too. I believe that every thai type may do very well in my environment.
I'll let you know further about the pain bringed...
You're too kind brother Gary!
I will hugely appreciate a sample of your dried numex!!
You're right about rain that's why i think pH issues... We had ZERO rain this summer and plants got a strict diet of tap water... I'm thinking about a small setup to collect rain water from the roof, we'll see...
Hey Gary! I've always been curious about new mexican chiles but never growed one. I've noticed that texas and mexican chiles grow very well in my climate so i may give numex a try. You're so lucky having them available in local stores / markets :)
Nice to know you're further selecting Forbing...
Did you mean Fabrizio right? LOL
I'll let you know about Armageddon, it looks evil for sure!
Chilito de Simojovel is a landrace pepper similar to a standard pequin but soft and juicy when ripe (think of frutescens) so it does equally well for salsa or powder, also pretty hot and flavorful :)
...
I wish the tepin flavor was dominant!
Superhot tepins anyone? :D
Stunning pics and interesting crosses as always Chris, nice to see that you carry on some nice varieties from the past like the Mustard Bhut.

I took some quick shots this morning (sorry not the best quality).
Armageddon, ready to sample:
Forbing Naga, orange pheno:

Chilito de Simojovel and Sonoran Chiltepin podding like crazy:

Great job Scott!
We should really make note of the best performing varieties in our climate and grow them in bulk but then... you start receiving new seeds from thp folks LOL

Thanks for the info :)
Bhutlah Caramel, Pimenta Chris x Cappuccino, multicolor jalos, too many good stuff!!
Albanian Red Hot is the same as Macedonian Rezha?

Sure but i don't like the 'tropical fruity" taste / smell neither sadly...
Gimme that simple dusty bastard dry heat of a good chiltepin or a thai chili paste and i'm in heaven :D
F
Happily no floral notes! So the Naga naming is well deserved :)
I really hate that kind of flavor, that's why excepting naga/bhut i'm more an annuum/frutescens guy :cool:
