Ive got no sign of red yet, but my pods are looking good, went out early this morning for a look saw one with a hole in it & picked it off & a dirty big pod eating grub was inside it, also spotted a currawong eating one of my ripe Nagas off one of my dirt plants, the cheeky bird just stood there trying to eat the pod all the while I was yelling & pretending to throw rocks at it, I must of made an impression, as it just stood there bashing the pod against the ground with its beak! Then flew off, leaving a battered ripe pod to rot on the ground.

Ill take so pictures tomorrow afternoon & post to show where Im at.

I'm positive they are all really proud of you Pablo.
 
Pablo, all of your plants and set up looks fantastic!!! It must be nice to have such a wonderful setup. Keep up the good work and I'm sure that your family are proud of you, as you should also be....
 
Well, seeing that I'm a little late to plant (for the contest), I just noticed a teeny tiny little naga plant poking it's head above soil. Just over two weeks... It's about this >o< big.

I'm so proud...
 
pablo you are blessed and your family is proud you did a good job. Keep it up and it is probably all of are dreams and you are living it . God bless keep Them up

what ya think,
is it Red enough ?

That looks great Pablo, I think I've lost somewhere along the thread which chilli we were meant to be growing. I thought it was Naga Morich but I think you've won it because it's probably any of the 'naga' family. My Nagas are still really tiny, tiny meaning no flower buds :(

hi Pam and all,
Im new here and was reading your contest of sorts. I have a few Bhut Jolokia Seeds and a couple mature plants. is it ok if i just take a cutting on the first and enter it as an honorable mention. not to compete with the seedlings of course.hope to absorb some good information from you guys n gals in the future for growing some super hot chilis.

Sure, as long as you are prepared for lots of trash talk about your "cheating" if you get a ripe pod before us seeders. *grin*

If you're interested in Naga seeds, Peppermania http://www.peppermania.com/home.html now has Nagas, and they ship internationally.

Pablo's the "cheating" winner ;)
 
Bhutts don't count... weres Omri lol
No just kidding. Very nice pods and plant, how far away are your nagas. Very good time from seed too.

I totally concur! Are these from Chili Institute seeds? You should do a video eating that tiny red one. :mouthonfire:
 
I havent seen my plants for a few days, though Im certain Ive got no sign of red yet, last I looked they were in that purplish, green stage. How are everyone else's looking?
