Really beautiful pods Siv!!!  That's what I call lava red.  Huge production too.  Great job.

The mystery plant seems to be the most popular.  Maybe its the shape?  I have 2 f5 mystery plants outside now and they are covered over with ripe pods.  However, they are later to produce then PJH3 by about 3 weeks.  The plants are not as large as PJH3 either.  But, the plants are beautiful and...

Paul, I agree 100%.  When you have a huge pepper harvest it is just too much trouble to make complicated pepper recipes.   The peppers don't come in all at the same time.  So, the average person isn't going to want to mess with them too often.  A simple recipe is needed.  This recipe is just...

This is what I am doing with my Purple Thunder pods. This is todays harvest. Pods were split and deseeded.   Pods chopped up with one of those little electric food processors.  A little white vinegar was added to get them to chop up easier. Once all the peppers were chopped up I added 2 tsp...

Today, some new mystery pods ripened.  They have come in a few weeks later than the PJH3.  There are 2 mystery plants.  Paul calls the dark color lava red.  I call it caramel.  There is lots of caramel on some of these pods.  Pods are a little over 3 inches long.  They are very large pods.    ...

  First photo is f5 mystery pods.  These are the first pods so they are huge.  They look just like the parent plant.     Second foto shows different variant fruits.  Top row is lava red PJH 3. Yellow lava reddish PJH3 in the middle. Orange red PJH3 from an all green plant.  No purple on this...

Its hard to say how hot they are.  I would say typical Bhut Jolokia heat.  The lava red is spicier than the yellow lava red.  They are thin walled.  They are very ornamental.  There is a third PJH 3 variant plant that is all green with orange/red colored pods that is juicier and spicier but the...

  These pods come from my F5 plants.  They are PJH 3.  There are 2 plants.  One has lava red pods.  The other has the yellow-lava red color.     I am getting ready to plant 8 more plants using seed from the yellow-lava red pods on the lower row.  The parent plant for these pods is the most...

Those pods are just beautiful!!  I hope you enjoy whatever recipes you make with them!!      Purple Thunder is a very spicey pepper.  I grew Bhut Jolokia also this season and I do believe Purple Thunder can compete with them.  I have been eating them for months now and just love em.   It...

That pepper is monstrous.  Save seed from that one!!  Looks like a mystery pepper to me.  Huge.

          These photo's were taken today of the pods on my F5 PJH 3 plant.  I have two specimans but this particular speciman is special.  The plant is covered over with giant dark in color purple pods.  I placed regular sized clothes pin in the photo's to try and give perspective.  This...

Absolutely beautiful.  You have a great camera for showing off the plants stunning features.  Great job!!

Those pods look great.  Beautiful pods.  Color is nice also.  I have the BJH mystery f4 generation which is a golden yellow or caramel color on the sunny side.   I also have f5 generation but no pods are ripe yet so I don't know what color they are going to be.  And, yes, they are spicey.  I had...

Siv-I don't have BJH 4 growing.  Your pods are very beautiful and different colors and shapes with the nice bumpy skin.  Very nice.   I have BJH 3 and mystery growing only now.  I seem to be getting smooth skinned pods only now.  The diversity of the pods is interesting.

Hello everyone.  These foto's are of the second generation of Purple Thunder I have planted in 2020.  I planted the first generation at the end of December 2019 making those plants about 7 months old.  I saved seed and planted this new generation a few months ago.  I would have to go thru my...

DontPanic-I have a speciman like that which was PDH number 3.  Plant and pods are green. Ripen a pink red color.  I saved seed from the plant and tried again.  Got green plants again.  I actually like the green plants.  Very vigorous and make a lot of pods.

Hello all.  My Purple Thunder plants are about 6 months old.  Producing continuously.  Its hard to show any individual plant fotos since there are several pots with PT growing and they sort of merge together into a huge cluster. There is this visitor in the Purple Thunder also. When Purple...

Siv, I have never seen a BJH 4 plant.  This is the first time.  The pod in the last foto is interesting.  Nice looking plants.

Devv, you really knocked it out of the park with those foto's.  Thanx for sharing.  Don't worry you will enjoy tasting those pods also.  Mine have a very spicey peppery taste without the heavy fruity thing going on.  They are excellent.  Yes, they are super-hot.   Today I repotted 6 more...

I have been mixing them up in recipes so I don't know which pepper tastes the best.   One thing I learned about this variety is that they sprawl.  The plants do not really have good supportive stems and need plenty of support.  Plants get really huge and need some sort of support system to hold...
