contest 2017 Inaugural Southern Hemisphere Growdown Throwdown Aji Amarillo

The week ahead. It's going to be hot!
Some pods , I hope that it is only a phenotype thing. Some are even a bit spiky like Aji Lemon. Time to colour?? Any guess?

All I can say is good luck when the heat really kicks in. It's gonna be a challenge keeping everything hydrated. I'm assuming water restrictions are common?
 
Karoo weights in a massive 300 pod haul and gets a total of 98grams. Pods requiring dehydration ... zero :lol:
 
Yes , we live in the Western Cape province with a severe draught and water restrictions. Fortunately in our small town we have a small population and a slightly higher rainfall in the mountain catchment area , so we are good at the moment.
 
I'm on restrictions at the moment, level 3. No watering between 9 and 5, I don't have a pool or wash the car much, so the rest of the rules don't concern me... ;)

Heads up, No. 1 hit a foot! No bud development yet...
 
Amarillos plodding on ok considering summer is hiding somewhere in Africa  :party: 
 
Two biggest pods so far in Hempy Bucket

And the plant that will probably be the competition entry (no pods in sight yet) but over a metre tall now - Audrey II

Thanks Jaques.
 
I think the Amarillos will become one of my annual grows going forward. Nice big pods with enough heat without blowing you head off.
 
According to the world of chillies - the fruits take an inordinately long time to ripen. Lets hope it's before Christmas. :think:
 
It is with great sadness that I wish to inform you that I will no longer take part in this Growdown.
 
 
 
It's not an Aji Amarillo  !
 
BUT, it is still a great plant and I think it's early excessive growing was due to Hybrid Vigor.
I really can't wait to see what happens when it ripens. Yes, I had two , and both are the same.
About 35 pods at the moment.

It is a bittersweet moment , I am disappointed to miss out on kicking some Ozzie and Kiwi butt , BUT I have never had such a great growing and producing plant.
I can't wait to see what it is when fully matured . Seeds should be on sale early 2018. :party:
 
Aji Dulce Amarillo is a Chinense.
The seed supplier said he had some Aji Fantacy White near the Amarillos , so my bet would be Hybrid . The pods are also light green as you will get with pods that ripen to peach , yellow or white.
The plant also showed a lot of Hybrid Vigor.
Saving seeds and growing out again for sure.
