Howdy folks. Many of you knew and interacted with PepperProblem while he was with us. Toward the end of last season and the beginning of this one he unloaded a lot of seeds on me without even asking. He also helped me start my grow this year from seed, something I had not succeeded at before. 98% of the plants I grew this year were a result of his generosity and education, with a dose of his encouragement to experiment with different things. I have been so busy that I have not been able to post much about it, but I will at least post the plants he helped me start from seed and the subsequent harvest that is coming from them.
Here is some of what got started. Had to give many away as it was way too much for me.
Pot in middle has 3 plants, 20g pot experiment. Zanahoria Triangulo, Aji Dulce, and Aji Pineapple. Plant on far left is PepperProblems Butch T from last year. Produced wierd looking pods and has battled with bugs and ants all year. The 3 in the 20g pot are the heavy producers in this picture. brain strain on far right.
another 20g pot experiment. Wild Brazil, Hawaiin Tobasco which he referred to as Kona Hot, and Pepper Lovers Moruga. I mislabeled that plant, was suppose to be a Colusha Indian Mount. These plants took off in late summer.
Bahamian Goat in a 20g pot alone. Wanted it to be huge but did not work. Also battled bugs. Seems like this plant mated with Pepperproblems scorpions and douglahs last year. I heard they love to mate. Pacific Ocean in background.
20g pot experiment. Butch T Mississippi and Purple Bhut. The purple bhut turned out to be a hybrid dud that starts purple then turns green to red. Still has some good heat. The Butch Ts are fabulous. bugs set in late.
Jamaican Yellow Mushroom. Pods are huge!
Aji Limon on the left, CGN 21500 on the right. CGN is interesting to harvest. It is like picking berries off a plant.
White 7 Pot. This one came alive late, still waiting on the pods to get ripe. Maybe by Thanksgiving.
