Mr Joe, you should be seeing lots of chili peppers in about 3 months.  You are way more ready than I ever was.  Good work.

I like the way you are feeding them Devv.  Great work!!!  Bet your plants are fully loaded right now.  You use a lot better fertilizer plan than I did.  I use a water soluble fertililzer from a company called Solucat which is a spanish company from Spain.  That just happens to be what is...

Hot and dry is the same kind of weather Devv has.  His plants are doing great.  I am going thru the same learning curve that you are Mr Joe so don't worry about it.  If you have organic material in the soil and you can protect those plants from excessive winds and extreme sunny conditions you...

Mr Joe, thanx for the sentiments.  I don't know why you wouldn't be able to grow large plants in California?  You have the climate.  I didn't do anything special for these plants.  Except that I am using large pots.  I have different variety's of chili's growing also.  None are nearly as...

https://imgur.com/a/cg3QSRY https://imgur.com/j9MIWZY   Today when I went outside to inspect the plants I noticed that they had fallen over from being so top heavy.  You can't really see but these plants are still pretty loaded with pods.  I had no idea Purple Thunder would grow so bushy and...

Thanx Paul.  However, Purple Thunder absolutely loves my climate.  After I learned a few of the basics for taking care of them they just absolutely thrived.  Those plants have been living in severe heat and high humidity and have been setting pods prolificly.  Pretty amazing.  I can't take...

Both of my PDH-2 plants have real dark purplish pods.  Pods everywhere on the plant.  We have different color schemes.   I will be interested to see a line up of all three of your pod variants in some foto's.     It will be fun to see the differences.   It appears that the PDH-2 are still...

Hello everyone.  I now have pod samples from all three Purple Thunder variants that I have.  Well, I actually have 4 variants.  One is a green PDH 3 variant.  The pods are the same red without the purple haze-giving them a kind of bubble gum red coloring.   On the cutting board the first 2 row...

Mr Joe, I had a plant break off in the wind too.  It set my plant back.  It was only a stump after it broke off.  This happened several months ago.  The plant is now real bushy and just full of pods.  Not as tall as the others but still a productive plant.  This was a PT number 2 plant.  Just...

Its still a great cross Paul.

I am still waiting for the Purple Thunder number 2 pods to get ripened.  A couple have.  I will make sure and post foto's of those pods when I have a mess of em so you can get an idea of what those look like also.  They are yellow also but smaller pods.  Plant is absolutely loaded.  Can't wait...

I am very interested in seeing foto's of your ripe pods.  I think there is going to be interesting variations in everyones plants.   Paul will have to decide which direction he wants to go with stabilizing this new variety.   

Thanx Devv.  I learned quite a bit this time around.  My first time growing super-hots.  Very slow growing.   I might be a tad ahead of most of you guys since this was a late December planting in a tropical climate. The plants are extremely vigorous and tall.  Mine are over 6 feet tall now...

Lot's of ripening Purple Thunder ahi's

Devv-sounds like a great recipe.  I have some special Chili Rayado peppers started that will be perfect for that recipe.    You are right.  My wife likes Jalepeno's.  Really nothing much spicier than that though. 

Devv-I like the sound of that dip recipe.  Great idea.     Now, I don't know what the name is for the recipe I describe.  Maybe its a purree?  The peppers are shredded but not necessarily finely shredded.   Yes, its spicey.  I tried it today on rice.  Flavor is excellent but you have to be...

Paul-this is a quick salsa recipe.  I use one of those little food processor's.  I add the pepper's and a little vinegar, just enough to help chop up the peppers.  I start out with white vinegar.  I keep adding peppers until it gets sort of full and chop em up.  Dump em in a container and keep...

  This is a quick foto of the final product.  A very simple recipe based on what they call fresh hot sauce in the islands.  In Jamaica they like to add onions and garlic among other things and the sauce uses chili's like Scotch bonnet.  The peppers I am using are extremely spicey and delicious...

I have been eating these hot peppers for a month or so except that I haven't been picking that many.  I was mixing them with Panamanian Chombo's and other medium hot peppers and using the same recipe.  As the weeks have gone by the harvests of the super hots have gotten much better.  So, this...

  Hello everyone and Happy Mother's day if this apply's to you.  Bear with me.  This is the first time I have ever used Imgur to post a foto.  I hope it works.  I was able to harvest quite a nice basket of super-hot peppers today.  I am a noob with the super-hots.  This foto shows the Purple...
