Very nice harvest bigt, it looks like your ripe pods will be rolling in by the barrel full. Your plants are performing fabulously.
bigt said:My favorite plant. The Cappy 7 Pot "brain strain". In 7 gallon.
Brain pods coming in droves. I have another almost as big in a 5 gallon also doing great.
LGHT said:7 gallon wow that's a big pot. Will the plant do better in a 7 gallon over a 5 gallon? I currently have a TS that seems to have stopped growing in it's 2.5 gallon and was going to get a couple of 5 gallon pots for some of my bigger plants, but wasn't sure if a 7 gallon would be even better or not. Is bigger always better or would a 5 gallon be enough to grow inside under HID lights?
Silver_Surfer said:2.5 gallon is a little small but depends on your plant size. I use a #5 trade pot that some refer to as 5 gal but is actually only 4. The consensus is to gradually step up in pot size so go with a 5 before moving to a 7 if needed. I've only used 7s on second year plants.

If Silver Surfer is right, what exactly will you make with all of those peppers? You have some really scary heat on those plants! Really beautiful, healthy plants, though, well done!

Pepper Ridge Farm said:Good to see you back posting again Tony. Glad your season was a big success. Do you plan on chopping your plants to the bone or keeping some branches. I have been weighing the benefits of overwintering and I only have room for two full size plants, where as I can start a tray of 72 plants pretty quickly and takes up no room at all. I overwintered my Seven Pod and Datil last year mainly for more seed for ya'll. I will be starting 4 trays or 288 new plants for next season so I figure what will two overwintered plants do for me? I have the DNA.
The Bhut Jolokia is also one of my all time favorites. Good to know you'll be overwintering the Brain Strain Seven Pod as I'm starting over. Fatalii is hyped because just a few years ago before the Jolokias and Scorpions and Seven Pods that was the king of the mountain. Nice Pics.
