Great BBG7 review. I love the 7 pod taste. With my 7s I've been getting the burn on the very tip of my tongue instead.
Thanks Stefan. I like 7s too.
I actually wrote a fairly big review of a pod off of the bbg7 plant # 2 and these guys
Not brown 7 (rusty) and not original yel 7 (red).
But my phone freaked out, I'm a mobile reader, and i lost everything i wrote.
Quick summary ...
The bbg7 plant #2, with larger calyces that do turn red, had a different burn and taste than pods from plant #1, that has the mutated even larger, strawberry top looking calyces .
The pod's heat came on quicker upfront and turned on completely with in ten to twenty seconds. Like the other, once it's on, it's on. It's stays at full burn and doesn't let up. They seem to attack anywhere it makes contact. Throat, tongue, lips, or any part of your mouth.
This pod put a hurt on, but still think it was a tad less in heat the the other pheno. It's taste was a bit toned down from the other, and had a bit more typical 7 pot taste. Still fruity but not like the other. It also had a hair of bitterness that i did not taste in the other.
The red up going up in the stem was way intense in color. This pod was also left to long on the plant and was almost over ripe.
My buddy and i split the pods and were taking small pieces while eating our lunch. My tongue went numb after eating most of the half, i been burn very well. When i deseeded the pod there was a goid chunk of the foam like core part of the placenta that i had scraped the seeds off of. The last piece did nothing to my numb tongue so i popped that core piece. It put on a really strong burn bringing sensation back to my tongue giving me atleast five more minutes of pain before my tongue went numb again.
This pod's heat seemed to dwindle down quicker than the other pheno. Maybe lasted ten to fifteen total, whereas the other a solid twenty.
Both phenos of the bbg7 produce killer pods. I am leaning toward plant#1, but plant #2 seems to be a better producer and make bigger pods. I was wondering how different they would be and they turned out slightly different. Hugely noticeable? Probably not. Either plant makes pods that have a good taste and plent of heat with red stems and calyces.

Calyces show.
Now to the other two pods...
The not brown 7 was a very sweet pod. Beautiful rust color too.Didn't have placenta all through like i expected, but definitely had heat. No floral taste, just a sweet fruitiness. No bitterness. A damn good pod.
The not original yel 7 gone red was a very floral, slight citrus, 7 pot tasting pod. Not as much heat as the not brown, but still earned respect. Huge pods. Tasted great with my lunch that day, Thursday, but got trumped by the not brown 7's sweet taste. The brown was just too good and this one could compete.
The not yel 7 didn't have very much placenta through out the pod either. Main concentrated at the top as the not brown 7.
Both nice pods.
Also ... always good to see these.
Found those two hornworms on my tomato stragglers. To find them already taken care of is a good thing!
