3CTX's 2015 7 Pot Onslaught

I think thats it for now. I'm not planning on doing a hydro grow this season but its still to early to tell (probably end up doing one dwc).
i will also be experimenting with topping this year just to see what all the hype is about. Thats all i got for now, thanks again for stopping by any and all comments are welcomed and appreciated. Good luck to everyone this year.

Got a few pods today. 14 pods off one sb in a 6 inch pot ain't too bad I'd say. 3 pods off the fatalii with a few more changing color.

Neat... counted to make sure lol

 

[thirdcoasttx]

Yeah I counted a few times before posting lol.

Love those scotch bonnets, I started some chocolates this year but they didn't make it, lesson learned I hope. I noticed these pods are various sizes, are they all first rounds? (trying to keep up with too many glogs lol) I love the look of the bonnet shaped pods so I had to score some for next season. Progress is looking fantastic neighbor!

The fatalii are first round the sb are on their second I think the various pod sizes has to do with the fact they are in 6 inch pots. The scotch bonnets are very small plants maybe 10 inches tall, the fatalli is about 20 inches but not a very big canopy. Small pots is the only thing I can think of, I'm no expert though.

Interesting, I am going to be growing a few variety of sb next season, fingers crossed, so I was just curious. Keep 'em green

Congrats on the pull!
 
My MoA's are not doing what I expected so far, but we have such a long season
 
So I'm sure they will do something. I'm sure you can grow into December where you're at.

Found a few flowers on the cucumbers. This hydro bhut is out of control, canopy is almost 4ft, but it still has only one pod and is dropping a ton of flowers daily. Kicked up the bloom ferts a bit to see what happens.

 

[Runescape]

Have you tried hand pollinating the flowers?

 

[thirdcoasttx]

Have you tried hand pollinating the flowers?
Yes with my finger only though. I'll try an artist brush tonight and see how that goes.

Pulled a few more today finally got a few of the bigger scotch bonnets. Also a pic of the total haul so far minus a few I ate and gave away at work.

I see this pull has some more consistent sizes on the scotch bonnets. Just love the look of those guys, what's the flavor and heat like on those fatalii? I haven't tried any fresh pods hotter than habs, and I've heard these are pretty close to the same heat level. Carry on!

My own opinion is those fatalii are a step above any hab I've tasted as far as heat goes, love the flavor as well, highly recommended! I just cut up the biggest scotch and to my surprise had next to no heat. The first scotch pod I had was about hab heat, I don't know what the deal is with this one. I'll taste test another tomorrow.

If the brush don't work out...try misting into the flowers with PH adjusted water between 12 and 3.

Also make sure your N is low.

The soil bhut was lookin pretty sad today so I went to water and much to my surprise I found about 5 little pods. It is loaded with flowers so hopefully soon I'll have more bhuts than I know what to do with. Also gonna throw a little food in this update. Tomorrow I'm gonna pecan smoke some jerky. I'm using my usual recipe plush a couple scotch bonnets and a couple fatalii to spice it up.

 

[Devv]

That's going to be some hot jerky!
 
Do you dry it or slow cook it?

 

[East Texas Heat]

good stuff man, good stuff!

I smoke it for around 3 hrs. This time I'm gonna use pecan and then I throw it in the dehydrator for a couple hours until its done.
good stuff man, good stuff!

Thanks ETH. You're from Tyler right? I work with a dude from Tyler.
