The terra cotta are all Brain Strain 7 Pod started from some of my first saved seed of my original brain strain plant who has sadly decided not to live any longer.

That stinks. Sorry for encouraging you to trim the roots back and all. I have had success with it in the past. What do you think happened? She just couldn't take the stress?

On the bright side, everything else is looking great.

Did you cut back foliage too? Cutting back roots without cutting enough foliage will terminate the whole system. You still have the real deal as far as seed goes though, right Cap?

Thank you Josh. The plamt was just looking old and woody and was on her way out when I did the cutback both roots and foliage but didn't have much green left in any of the stems. No worries just happy to have shared so much seed from that one plant worldwide several times over. I really don't plan on overwintering capsicum anymore, too easy just to plant more seeds.

From now on I am growing F1 seed saved from 2008 from my first year best looking 7 Pods. No more original seed left but feel confident I'll find another special plant from these seeds I started this year. Same as everyone else now happy to have shared.

Really looking great! I can't believe you water all of those plants with a garden hose.

I like that pic how it is. Reminds me of photos hunters have from those cameras that mount to trees. Only instead of a salt lick you got caught petting Cappy's peppers.

Sorry to hear momma 7 Pod Brain Strain moved on Cappy. She most certainly left a legacy throughout the world. Thank you for your generosity.

Cappy, the amount of energy you have is staggering. Just thinking about all the work you put into posting and describing all these pictures makes me tired! :-) Great stuff man - I'm blown away as usual. Looks like we're in for a good weather year on the East Coast - gotta make hay.

Have to say Cappy that my Brain Strain are the biggest and healthiest of my chinese and still got some seed left for next year, thanks man
