AeroGro hydroponics shop indoor grow

I have ordered the new carolina reaper from Pepper Joe and thought I would start a grow log.

Since I'm waiting to recieve the seeds and germinate them, I will show everyone the peppers I currently have growing.

From left 2x banana; 2x TSBT; 1 Yellow Bhut; 2x Naga; 2x banana ( seeds from Pepper Joe)

TSBT; Yellow Bhut; 2x Naga

The next plants were started from seeds given to me by a customer.

Don't remember how old they were in this pic.

Here are some pics of these guys around 3 months.

I'm new to growing peppers, so I have no idea what types of peppers these are lol.

If anyone lives near Champaign, IL I will have extra seedlings and pods (when they're ready) for free.

Thanks for looking.

Condolences on the loss of your Grandfather.

Those plants are beautiful. I think it's safe to say that particular Reaper isn't going to produce pods like the advertised images. To me they look like plain old red Habanero's, wonder if you had a wrong seed in your packet of Reapers. Have you planted any other seeds from the same pack?

How man Bhuts did you put in with the Italian beef? Warm things up a little did it?

That bhut is incredible. I will have to grow this myself someday.

Thanks for the kind words everyone, these guys are getting way to big lol.

I put 3 bhuts in there I think and it wasn't that bad, but quite a bit hotter than I usually make it.

I'm not sure what this pepper is lol. It is hotter than the bhuts and any hab I ever tried.

I can send some pods out next week, maybe someone who has more experience would like to try them and weigh in on what they might be.

Edit: I did give away 5 plants from the same seed pack. 1 I gave to the university in DWC that was flowering, but I don't remember seeing any pods. I gave 4 small plants to a fellow member when they were a few weeks old. I haven't heard from him in a while so I'm not sure if any of the plants got pods like the promo pics.

Your "reapers" are the healthiest plants I have seen so far. You did what you could.

Get some primo seeds next, they are an awesome pod.

Thanks armac!

I had a student from the school come in today with peppers off the plants I gave them.

Cayenne & 7pot

I asked him about the reaper and he said the pods they have look like the "bhut" looking reaper in the 1st pic of google image search. He is going to bring me some pods when there ready and I'll post some pics when I get them.

That is what grew from the pack of reaper seeds I got from pepper joe.

Wow.

Did you ever see any pods from the other Reaper plants that you gave away?
I am super curious about whether they grew the same as your plant you kept.

 

[spicy_echo]

wow I had missed this glog. Amazing plants! Those are dream plants for sure....

Here is the blurry photo of the first pod from the reaper plant I grew from the seeds of Lock's pod. I'll take a picture with a better camera when the pod gets a bit bigger.

Edit: Oh yeah, the picture:

Looks link a muppet.

Lock grew tremendous plants, but the seeds he had were not ever going to throw the rough bumpy reaper, his were always gong to be the smooth  hab type. he did all that was possible.

 

[scratchzilla]

This is true, but they still had an unbelievable level of heat.

 

[lock203]

Kind of forgot about this thread. We moved locations in Feb. and these plants were just too big to move. Here are the pictures of what they looked like at the end. 
 
These were taken 2/6/13 plants were 5-6 months old.

 
Was a sad day when I cut them down. 
 
My nephew ended up taking most of the pods and sharing them with his friends. I saw a few videos, everyone spit out the reaper lol.
 
I did end up seeing another plants pods and they had bumpy texture but had no tail and looked more like a bhut than the hab looking ones I got. 

 

[spicy_echo]

Holy crap... I just cried for a solid 5 minutes.

 

[lock203]

Yeah it was very sad when they wouldn't fit in the truck. The immature pods on those 2 plants filled up 4 ziplock gallon bags, I did get about 1 bag of ripe pods between the 2 plants.

too bad, i was just in champaign and would have loved to take those plants off your hands.
