BigCedars SuperHot Grow 2012

Great reviews, Brandon! Your little review helper is cute as a button!
You are definitely the NWPac pres! I surrender any small claim I might
possibly have had through no fault of my own!

Glad to hear that your work place will not carry the soil
from that supplier any more. That's what they get for
shining it on. They didn't know they were dealing with
a serious grower!

Hope your garage grow room is taking shape, bud.
That will be a load o' fun to watch you fill it with pepper plants!

Gettin' amped for NWChilefest? Me are!

Brandon great review on the pods and the comparison between Jamie and Matt brainstrain pod. How did your coworker enjoy the BJ carbon that had to be fun to watch.

MGOLD86 · Jul 30, 2012

Dude you are a beast! I really haven't tried all that much from the garden yet, I wanted to get some pkgs out before I deploy. But I have tried the Yellow HLK and we are both on the same page. That is interesting about the Fatalii X RS, I will definitely give it a shot in the next day or two.

Your videos were awesome, my wife especially loved the guest appearance! Great description and I don't envy that stomach pain!

I'm happy you are enjoying them, or at least living through it....

4 pods in one day... :crazy:

I'll be back around soon to hear your take on the Infinity.

stc3248 · Jul 30, 2012

You're a beast for sure Brandon! Took me about an hour and a half to get through both vids on my barracks connection, but I finally made it! Funny your take on the brain coming down and mine on my review of Jamies was almost identical. I think I said "Its starting to come down, but don't get me wrong it starting to come down is still WAY hotter than anything I've ever eaten." I wish I didn't get hiccups like you guys. Interested to hear your take on the Infinity...I just ate a "Monster Infinity" from Dave (gnslngr) and it was freaking BRUTAL! I have a hard time doing a couple reviews in a weekend...much less in a day! Great job man!

Pepper-Guru · Jul 31, 2012

Great videos dude! You handled that stomach bit much better than I did apparently! \m/ All with the help of daddys lil girl too.

Pulpiteer · Jul 31, 2012

I can't believe your stomach hasn't tried to run away after all that. Wow. You handled it well. I too loved the guest appearance. I also enjoyed how she would only wave at her chosen moment, not when you asked. I've got three young ones and that's how it almost always goes for me. :lol:

Great videos!

buddy · Aug 2, 2012

nice recovery on the chiles - congratulations! looks like you're well on your way to a successful harvest. good luck with the rest of the season. also, nice job with the reviews!

MGOLD86 · Aug 2, 2012

I popped part of the infinity last night when I was pulling seeds for seed stock. It has a pretty muted flavor, but the lip burn was freakin terrible. It hit my tongue a bit as well, but my lips felt like they had a pulse!

Sownseeds · Aug 3, 2012

Hi Brandon, great vids mate , you handled those pods like a boss, i would of been looking around for a big old glass of milk 2 min into that, i bet your wife just loves sleeping next to brain strain breath lol .
Keep up the good work.

Great pods from Matt and great reviews for sho. You handled them like a champ Brandon.

Can't wait to watch more reviews in the near future.

Thanks Jamie, I didn't really know what was gonna happen being my first time eating whole pods. I'm just glad I don't get hicups

I can't take credit for the pods he got romy, I'm Vincent and I just sent my pods out to him today

Thanks again for the pods man. I gotta tell ya, those freaking Jonahs and TS Butch Ts lit me up! brought one of them to work the other day for my buddy to try with me, he's never gone for milk when we split pods in the past except for Matts Indian Carbon... Your TS BT had him drinking milk within 30 seconds of eating it, he was freaking out a little bit, lol. I had a good laugh watching his reaction. Thanks again man.

Hey Paul! Thanks buddy, she loves peppers just as much as I do now

She'll walk over to a plant, look underneath the canopy and gently hold and examine any green pods hanging from the plant like I do, she'll also run over to get my attention and pull me over to show me the plant if theres a ripe one. melts my heart everytime!

The garage isn't making any progress lately, I've been too freaking busy with work and spending the little time I have with the family but I will definitely be putting my rocket-fire helmet on here soon and get it done in a few days time. Not much left to do but sell my liver on craigslist so I can afford all the MH HPS bulbs

I'm definitely excited for the PNWCF, even more so now that I know your coming! Really lookin forward to meeting you buddy

I hope all is well with you!

Thanks Fernando! Oh my God.. that BJ ICarbon was stuuuuuupid hot. Literally, I had the worst time with half of that pod compared to all the others whole. It was nuts and definitely unexpected.

Hey Matt! Thanks alot man, I'm glad you enjoyed the reviews. Did you ever end up trying that fatalii X RS? I watched your jonah video at work the other day, MAN, that thing curb stomped you! lol, I was glad you didn't send me one of those after watching that video. I'm glad your wife liked the guest appearance

Man I gotta tell you, I ate the 7 Original before work the other day with nothing but tums and a peice of bread in my stomach.. DUMB idea, I almost had to pull over on the way to work the stomach pain was so bad, literally, if I had to imagine what contractions felt like during labor, that had to be a close second lol, seriously though. I thought my stomach was going to explode. definitely one of the worst pains I've ever felt. I'd take the mouth pain/burn of 50 TSButchTs at once before going through that again.

Okay so I gotta tell this story about your BJ Indian Carbon..

I work with a guy named Connor who just graduated highschool, and he's the only one stupid enough to eat these with me. We normally cut a pod in half and go through the pain/burn together for kicks n giggles.. I decide to bring your BJ ICarbon to work thinking it's gonna be bad but not too bad.. Yeah, WRONG.

I also work with a guy named Corey that is a few years younger than me, we basically grew up together and both started working there at age 15. Put it this way.. Corey hates black pepper on his food. This man doesn't touch anything that's spicy, he even lets his food cool down if it's steaming from being on the grill, stove, or microwave. It's hilarious.

We peer pressure Corey into eating a tiny sliver of this thing, keep in mind he won't even touch a anahiem pepper.. I cut the pod in half, and for all of you that didn't see this thing, it was freaking HUGE. Biggest Bhut Jolokia I've ever seen, the inside was dripping oil when I cut it open, that's when I started wondering if this ride was gonna be a little different than I thought.. I cut a little sliver for Corey and Connor says "dude! we need to tell Evan to get the carry-outs if we get called up, and I need to get some paper towels! We gotta be prepared for this thing!" So as Connor goes back into the store to get paper towels and tell Evan were going to be out of commision for the next 15 minutes, Corey grabs Connors Darigold milk, takes the cap off, and rubs the oil ALL over the top of it and screws the cap back on like nothing happened. Connor gets back and were trying our hardest to keep a straight face while dying laughing inside...

We count to 3 and start chewing.. Within 5 seconds Corey spits his tiny sliver out and starts screaming like a little girl at the top of his lungs. "WOOO AHHHHHHH OH MY F*** GOD! AHHH WTF!! AHHHH" Were about 10 seconds in and while screaming in a high pitched voice Corey is literally sprinting around the parking lot, I swallow my half, Connor looks at me after chewing for 10 seconds and with a frightened look on his face he frantically says "Dude! I can't do it, can't swallow it, I'm tapping out!!" Spits his half out and tries to man up and stay away from the milk. At this point I'm in absolute amazement of how freaking hot this thing is, I can barely breath, I can't talk and I'm laughing my ass off watching Corey freak out like he's having a bad acid trip and ALL I wanna do is stop laughing because it hurts so bad to do so. I'm drooling, crying and trying to catch my breath, (30 seconds in) Connor for the first time ever goes for the milk, and in a high pitched voice says, "Oh my God! I can't! I'm grabbing the milk, I need the f*** milk, this is bad, this is sooo bad!!" He starts pounding the milk and spitting it out as fast as he can drink it, his face is lipstick red, eyes watering and you can almost see his lips swell up as hes drinking his milk. At the same time Corey is rolling around on the ground, rocking back in forth in a fetal position still screaming like a girl in between gulps of milk. At this point, I'm positive this pepper was the hottest you sent and I only ate half it! My mouth, throat, tounge, lips, cheeks, and stomach were on absolute fire. I was left speechless in between laughs so I could only imagine what was going through their minds and what they were experiencing. (2 minutes in) Connor is still trying to find comfort with his oil covered milk jug and Corey is now throwing up. Connor in the highest pitched girly voice I've ever heard a man make, screams out in agony and in fear as he kicks the garbage can "WHYYY ISN'T IT GETTING ANY BETTERRRRR!!!!" Corey in mid-puke starts uncontrollably laughing his ass off. I'll try to paint the picture for you, I'm crying from laughing, crying from the burn, Coreys throwing up while laughing uncontrollably (first time I've ever seen anyone throw up and laugh all at the same time), and Connors screaming like a little girl while drinking his oily milk. Corey tries to say while laughing histarically and dry heaving, "Conner! hahahah You might wanna ahaha! (dry heaving) ahaha stop drinking your milk!! I rubbed pepper all over it!! ahahaha" Connor looks at him like he just found out he has a life threatening disease and in his high pitched voice screams out "YOU WHAT!?! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!!! YOU HORRIBLE PERSON! OMFG!" Connor throws his milk at Corey and runs for an oil-free jug of milk. Coreys smoking a cigarette in hopes that the burn goes away, connors finally seeing some relief and I'm literally covered in tears from laughing and sweat from this pod. About 10 minutes goes by and were all finally able to fuction, and were all high as hell from the endorphin rush. Connor gave Corey a high five once later and said "alright.. That was a good one. Asshole." lol. We all definitely had a story to tell after that experience. The other employees that worked that day had a pretty good show lol. Good times.

Thanks again brother.

I'll get to the other replies and the weekend update today, I gotta run some errands first!

Hope all is well with everyone!

PaulG · Aug 17, 2012

That is one funny tale, Brandon :rofl:

Cruel, but funny!

Maybe I should have put the Indian Carbon from Matt in the freezer.
It's one of the final three pods I'm trying; all the others are now frozen
for safe keeping. Some were getting sort of soft.

Glad to hear you are making NWCF, my friend; should be a lot of fun! I say, A LOT OF FUN :party:

I probably will head up Friday afternoon, depending on what Chileaddict's plans are. I'm bringing
my back pack in case I need to bed down due to 'whatever reason'

Have fun in your garden, brother!

Thanks Shane! That pod was pretty stupid hot, I gotta say the Infinity and Bhut Jolokia IC I got from Matt were hotter though, which was odd. The Infinity I had from Matt was the worst throat pain I've ever had from anything. It just kept goin, felt like it was swelling shut and it was very hard to breathe. Crazy! The multiple reviews in one day was okay.. it was them making their way through my system the next day that made me decide multiple superhot reviews in a day isn't something I'll be doing again lol. Bad form. I hope all is well with you buddy, I've seen some of your havest shots in the gallery, way to go buddy!

Thanks Rich, Dude it's weird.. I handle it right off the bat fine, but it's like an hour after eating these things that it starts to hit me bad. It's odd. Haha, yeah daddys little girl sees me eating them and has been trying to do the same when ever she shes a ripe one. One day we'll be doing reviews together I'm sure lol.

Thanks buddy, oh trust me, my stomach let me know that I needed to take a freaking break after day 3 lol. Thats funny about your 3 little ones, Saydees like that every day, it's quite funny actually. Everythings on Saydee time in her little world, I tell my Wife all the time, I wonder where she got that from! :lol:

I hope all is well with you man.

Dude you gotta eat a whole one, it's intense. The throat pain was the worst I've ever experienced by far. I actually liked the flavor, wasn't the best I've had but certainly not the worst, it had a slightly stronger fruity flavor than the brain strain did and IMO was a bit hotter. Wit the heat though, maybe it was just me thinking my throat was swelling shut that led me to that conclusion.. who knows. lol. Thanks again brother.

Hey Todd! Thanks alot buddy. She's not a big fan of pepper breath lol. I swear I was burping that thing up for 2 days. Good luck with growing season this year man. I'll be looking forward to your grow log!

Update.

I'm beyond happy with my homemade soil, I've yet to fertilize the plants after transplant(month and a half without ferts or teas) and I don't intend to, they're blowing up. I'm talkin Pepperguru growth rate! Okay okay... not that crazy.. but still, it's impressive! lol. I decided to try it out with some mid summer starts. I also wanted to try a fertilizer free experiement with them. How long can these things go without it if the soil conditions are right? I'm gonna find out!

When I say never fertilized, that means no ferts, no compost teas, no foliar sprays, zip zero nadda nothing. Soil. Water.

7Primo Yellow.
2 1/2 Weeks Old, Never Fertilized.

Bih Jolokia Caramel.
4 Weeks Old, Never Fertilized.

Jamies Mystery Annum
2 1/2 Weeks Old, Never Fertilized.

The Fam.

See the 4 slightly yellow guys in the middle? I tried a bag of fox farms soil at the same time I repotted the 140 into my homemade stuff just to see what does better.. (keep in mind no fertlizer has been used in a month and a half) I know it's not a super scientific example but it does show you can make better soil at home, even better than premium quality stuff, For 1/4 of the price I might add :cool:

Would I use premade soil again? Nope.
7 Madballz, now If only they all podded up lol. 9 flowers on one noid.

The biggest plant I have, my 2year old Yellow Bhut Jolokia. This thing is going nuts in the new soil. It was a stick July 1st!

The branch network is crazy!

Remember the OW Fataliis that I almost killed 16 times? lol.

Another accidental cross plant Chris(cmpman)
It's another plant that has stunning foliage in my opinion..
Dark emerald green leaves with hints of purple, the branches are all dark purple, almost black. One of my favs anyway.
Mystery Superhot X Purple Bhut Jolokia

I know I know.. plants pics.. phhhhht... :lol:

Pod pics next post!

MGOLD86 · Aug 17, 2012

Dude, that is literally the funniest pepper shit I have ever heard in my life. True story.

I saw Todd (TMudder) almost throw up eating the whole thing. I haven't tried more than a tiny piece when I was pulling seeds for stock...maybe have to give this one a try....

On another note...YOUR GARDEN LOOKS GREAT!! It is about damn time!! Gonna have a ton of OWs for that SuWEET growrage!
