Cappy's 2015 Chocolate BS

It has been several year since I have started a grow log like a newb but I enjoy this time of year starting plants.  My name is Cappy and I first discovered the Seven Pod in a seed trade from Sara R. in Trinidad in 2008.  That year I had a grow log and documented my grow of an extra brainy seven pod and the Brain Strain 7 Pod was born.  Since that time I have shared seeds with anybody and everybody who asked for little more than the cost of shipping.  I did not try to profit or chase the world hottest title, that goes to CARDI and the creator of the seven pod.  I am just a grower of limited means with a closet with a grow light and a backyard in a residential neighborhood.  What I am is proud of my contribution to the pepper community and the opportunity to shared this pepper with the rest of the world.
 
Last year I received some seeds from a very generous Trinidadian friend here in the states by the name of Judy.  I have dreams on making a chocolate version of my yearly hot sauce BrAiN sTrAiN.  There have been both red and yellow versions in the past so 2015 will be the year of the chocolate BS.  First round of seeds were sown last weekend January 4 and today I have my first seedling so here we go!
 
A really nice haul of Chocolate BrAiN sTrAiNs from the backyard today! Wrapped all in the table cloth and got on a scale and they weighed almost exactly 18 lbs., probably my biggest harvest ever.  Have lots of flat rate boxes to fill and ship out tomorrow morning.  Also a picture of me filling seed baggies over the weekend, hope everyone had an awesome July 4th laying on their back picking peppers in the garden watching the fireworks.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
I have learned a thing or two about growing hot peppers over the years and most of it is here in this glog.  There should be quite a few receiving these Chocolate Brain Strain pods in the mail today, of all those peppers I only kept 4 of the finest looking pods and let them ripen a few more days inside.  They are huge 7 Pods and just eating a sliver had me sweating and high from the endorphin rush, drinking some local brew I traded for pods to cool me down.  I used the 411 Scrapyard knife to cut up the pods to show you can do delicate work and for OCD Chilehead.  Thanks for all comments.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
I'm with Joyner, thanks again for the pods and this glog. I'll be running through it again top to bottom to make sure and catch those tips. Think I've got it down already, only thing I don't have is your weather :)

Anyways, can't wait to slice into these tomorrow
