potted-up Yellow Brain Strain (front) & Two Barrackpores in same pot (rear) These are the largest containers that I use, although I have larger ones [but have found; last season that they are overly large & unnecessary based on observed root ball size at end of season]. I'll take some "side-on" pics, next update, to give you better view of their size.

Looking great man....

heres the side view, as promised. Pots are 9" deep.

Choc 7-Pot twins reaching for the sun :drooling:

2nd-season Guhahati podding-up :onfire:

Lastly, late decision to grow one more variety, as I have 3 Brains growing for instance, a J A Hot chocolate. l. think I got the pod from MGOLD86 but am not 100% sure.

Looking good, nice healthy plants and pods on that Guhahati.

I tried to find some information on that pepper and came up empty.

Me either. Got a pod from someone here at THP & sowed a few seeds. Its hot, VERY hot.

All looking good bro .. I like your choice of varieties this season should make for some good eye and mouth candy!! Keep on growing!

Dot Com · Jul 3, 2014

moved the plants indoors none too soon. We just started getting hit by the outer edge of the storm coming up the East Coast of the U.S.

This super hot has really been growing good outdoors but I've had to bring it in fro the last 3-4 days due to outdoor maintenance & the current storm. First World problems, I know, but very frustrating nonetheless!!!

Turning-off 'puter now because the lightning is getting fierce.

haven't really looked closely at this plant in the last couple of weeks, because it was the plant to give me my first pod this season & I've been paying attn to other plants to see when they pod-up but looking under the canopy today i saw this:

Choc 7-Pot branching all over

Yellow Brain Strain forked at under a foot in height:

small update. Youngest seedlings & C Not Madballz Twisted XL (Chris) I believe.

Growing like I remember it growing last season. Its exploding w/ new vegetation. Not many flowers yet though.

update:

Yellow Brain Strain seems to be beefing-up after branching at the crown:

Choc 7-Pot canopy shot. Outgrowing the rest by leaps & bounds:

I second that... living in the country definitely has it perks.

Question, your Brain seedlings, are you going to transplant them or let them grow in the same pot? Just curious.

Dot Com · Jul 18, 2014

the barackpores are in the same pot. I plan to leave them be I guess.

***edit- I see. The small seedlings at the top of the page. Yeah, they're still tiny seedlings and not doing much.

Ate this pepper, from one of our Growers down South, about 9 mins ago. Was thinking its a Brown Scorp or a Douglah? Immediate tongue burn ,hiccups, eyes watering, nasal cavities running. Good, solid bright, but deep, burn. Bordering on "panic-mode" variety of pepper. Looking forward to a swig of ice tea in 1 minute:

brownish/oranegish oil splotches inside. Ate 1/2 of it length-wise:

***edit- 13 mins later and a small swig of ice tea & I seem ok. Doesn't seem to be any stomach issues thangod

I do always eat SOMETHING before eating peppers, given my Guhahati episode last season, so as not to drop a bomb on an empty stomach.

Such a great looking pod can cause some much "good pain".

Things look great. How as the weather been up there? Or is it too unstable and your plants stay inside for now?
