Brown Moruga Thread

My 2 B.Morugas are a year old now. They shot branches out from the lower main trunk during their growth spurt to circumvent the canopy for light. I have in the past experimented with topping, but generally let the plants grow. I am considering cutting back all main growth nodes to stimulate more branching for the upcoming season.
Thoughts?

Plants are not all that tall so I am hoping the pruning will promote a stronger base structure to support a larger canopy.

Winter pods. The dark ones came late on the plant that was supposed to produce dark pods but declined to during the season.

I just made a nice mash yesterday with chocolate morugas, a red moruga, reapers, a bbg7, a few naga morich, red, yellow and chocolate habs and a sweet red pepper. Should make a nice ferment.

All together?
 
It's my first ferment attempt plus fresh peppers are hard to come by up here so I went with my frozen pods and some fresh ones
 
Yeah...I didn't have enough of any one pepper to make it a single mash so I just combined them all for the heck of it...I figured I like the taste of all these peppers so it should taste ok. It's starting to bubble :) I'll post a pic when I get back to my PC

Hope it works out for you. It very well could.

Do you find that it's better to just stick with one kind of pepper?
I have not made any mash as of yet. I do indulge in powders though and prefer to make my grinds separate. I will then make blends according to what each individual pepper has to offer in burn and flavor and how much of each I want to exploit. you have more control over the outcome by doing so and if you have enough of each powder, you can create mant variable outcomes til you get thing the way you like.
 
My soon to be 2 year olds.

Today I realized I have come full circle. In the past 3+ year of growing 100s of different peppers (many of them super hots) in an attempt to find better and better peppers, It finally sunk in I have already done so. As a matter of fact, the #1 choice was provided back when I first started growing peppers.
The brown moruga provides all the heat I could ever ask for and a flavor that can't be beat with no undesirable baggage. Although I will continue to grow various other super hots for various reasons, my go to mainstay favorite was desided with a sfrb from Judy 3 years ago. To date, I have found no equal. My signature pepper crop from now on will be brown morugas and crosses from them. Happy growing.

Apple & Pecan smoked Brown Moruga for some powder

I thought it smelled lovely!

Wife and the kids, not so much! :onfire:
Those look good!
The house get really aromatic when I dehydrate in the oven. On a different scale, its like baking bread.
 
Decided to take my final batch of pods and make some powder. :onfire: :onfire:
 
Dehydrating in a convection oven. Saves a lot of time and electricity.

This coffee mill is over 30 years old and as you will soon see, functions beautifully.

Yes Sir, that's exactly what I tried too do. I'm a Rookie still learnin...
I left the seeds this time around to see if there was any reason in the future to go through the time consuming work of de-seeding. If taste is good, I wont bother. just halve and dry.
