bonchi grow log (everyone can post)

this is the grow log for the bonchi challenge. i am trying to limit the rules down to a few. IF YOU ARE NOT FROM THE US YOU CAN STILL BE A PART OF IT YOU JUST WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE PRIZE THANK YOU.


RULES.
1. everyone entered must have a seperate variety of plant. meaning if two people want to both enter a bhut jolokia. an agreement must be reached to where one person must choose a different type. if an agreement cant be reached the person who was first to reserve that plant gets to have that variety.
2. you must reserve your plant(s) on this thread asap.
3. limit of two different varieties can be reserved.
4. you must have 3 photos uploaded before or on the day of the end of the contest. one photo showing height of plant. another showing the canopy of plant. one more photo of your choice showing your plants best feature or a really nice photo.
5. your plant must be 2ft. at max. height including pot.
7. if you decide to fuse or graft your bonchi there is still a two variety limit so you must graft either the two varieties together or you can graft multiples of the same variety together.
6. your bonchi can be any type of pepper. wild, super-hot, rare, mild etc.
8. all three photos must be submitted to this thread by MONDAY, DECEMBER 16TH 2013. That should give you enough time to grow, cut down, then regrow as a bonchi.

I would like to reserve my two varieties now sepia serpent and 7pot primo http://thehotpepper.com/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/fireball.gif

goodluck everyone and feel free to post other bonchi experiments in here just note that those are not the contenders
 
Yes I think so too the newest one was horrifyingly bad. I did like the bonsai shop he opens in one of the sequels though
 
If im able to change my Trinidad Perfume to Aji Cristal i would really like to do that...
I decided to look up some info for the Cristals and i saw that it had an amazing taste, look and pretty nice heat! A really citrusy flavour to it, and was on many peoples top lists :) So yeah if it works im really thankful as i would love to use that in the contest!
 
Both of my choices have sprouted :)
But so has a bunch of my other plants on my growlist.....

Staring to eye some of my other varieties after seeing some of the super awesome choices other people made for theirs.

And my Jalapeno Overwinter Stick that I chopped back and repotted for a Bonchi still is doing nothing but looking like a stick...lol
(but 4 of my 18 still living sticks are showng signs of life.....One was completey dead/stickified :( )

Yay, that is the hardest part :)

I've got rhombs!!!!!!

I sometimes do the happy dance when I see soe of my seeds have sprouted.

I am pretty much on the edge of switching my choice to either chiletepin Amarillo or one of the wilds I'm getting

I think you have Bonchi ADD! :)

Looking good by me :)
 
Looking good for me too its about 70 degrees here and 85 in my brand new greenhouse I just got at big lots for 70 bucks (go check it out at big lots its worth the money) plants showing true leaves and looking happy. Will post pics later. I'm outside enjoying life getting out of the winter blues giving plants a little love

Might be hard for me in Sweden :confused:
But nice and i got a new setup today too :D
 
Nice I would love to travel but I would never move again here in Vegas we have nearly anything you could ever want at driving distance. What new set-up you get?
 
Took my desktop drawer (it has a door) and removed some drawers, put som aluminium foil in there and put my 35 w 5000K CFL and stuck it in there.

Mine have sprouted too and I'm looking to create a chiletepin bonsai now and depending on when my other varieties get here I will make those too I am thinking about having a good 20 or more bonsais during winter months producing in my greenhouse this year with the assistance of a heating element
