lol I hope it produces pods for another 6 months that would be awsome hahaha
I didn't cut it back over winter at all. It looked healthy all the way through winter and actually produced a few small pods along the way. Its seems to have worked well lol
If I'm lucky enough this years plants might also make it to next summer also
Any idea's, if the rest go the same way I'll be so bumbed to say the least.
Its only on the dorset. The pods are by far the largest and oldest on the plant.
The inside has some oil but also a ml or two of clear fluid. The inside seems to have gone bad first as a lot of the inner wall is a brown/bronze color.
boooooo
The other q I have is about my fatalii peppers. They seem to have gone white! Is that normal
Nice looking peppers and there starting to get nice and fat.
Have to add another bhut picture, the peppers just look too cool lol
And the scorpian... Its going to end up bigger than the bih jolokia plant the way its growing. This year I didn't tip any of the plants at all. The only thing I did was pinch buds off until the plant was at least 300mm tall.
All the plants are starting to grow into each other so I'm thinking of moving them around after the first lot of peppers grow out.
The fataliis do look strange but I've never grown any before so I wouldn't really know. I can see a clear change from green to white on some of the pods so I'm starting to think they might be white when ripe. How can you really tell lol I guess I'll wait, I hope they go yellow but as I do like the taste of the yellow fatalii. I've chewed on one at Niel's before and it killed my tongue, it had a great taste and wasn't over the top in heat but the very front of my tongue was hurting so much.
I'm worried about the rotten peppers because I had a cayenne pepper plant that did the same thing. Every single pepper went rotten on the day they started to ripen. I didn't get one pepper off that plant even though it was covered
You're doing well there Timmy, I'm still waiting patiently for my first Scorpion to set.... I hope your weather improves and you get some great harvests soon.
Some of the plants start of Jan. from left Fatalii, choc bhut, scorpian and yellow 7 on the right.
Yellow 7 pod, not many on the plant at all but at least these are keepers lol
Yellow fatalii, some reall nice sized pods on this true fatalii haha
Side note for anyone actually reading this lol I ate a good chunk 1/3 of a naga bonnet 2nd gen cross yesterday, yep you heard me lol. Bloody big pods maybe 9cm long by 5cm wide. LOTS of heat like a superhot but without most of that bitter taste you get with the superhots. Hopefully I might be able to get some cuttings for next year as it would be awsome for making sauces.
Plants look great. Almost time to start my seeds, so there is only about 6 months until I get my first ripe pod. At least us here in the states can look at all those beautiful plants grown down under while we wait.
