Very impressive plants Hotpeppa - nice work. You guys will get me to buy a 400w MH the way you are going. I need to get my moneys worth out of this 125w CFL 1st. It's been working way better than my shop lights at least.

I have a few Bhuts that are doing well, but not like yours. The biggest is just maybe as wide as a plastic cup. Nothing like what you have. I lost some with my rockwool fiasco so I planted 4 more about 3 weeks ago in Pro-Mix. They've all come up and are doing fine, but still small. I wanted to make sure I had at least two really good Bhut plants.

Hotpeppa,

Plants are looking excellent, I would say that you have learned to "listen" to your plants needs very well!

OK Hotpeppa - here are a couple of pics taken earlier today. 4 of my best plants. These have been sitting in the south window for a week in my small greenhouse. They got a complete washdown to make sure they were aphid free before they went in. So far, so good on these. I just lost an otherwise healthy 7 Pot to aphids today. I didn't check it for 2 days and it went down. Sad, but I still have a few left. Next year, my seedlings don't get near my overwinters.

Clockwise from Lower Left - Bhut Jolokia (hotpeppa) , Biker Billy , 7 Pot (Cappy-PRF) and Fatalii (scoville)

Clockwise from bottom - Fatalii (scoville), Bhut Jolokia (hotpeppa) , Biker Billy and 7 Pot (Cappy-PRF).

-these 4 are getting hardened off starting today and will get potted up to 5 Gallon in 2 days -sorry about the big file size, I need to reduce the setting on my camera.

Isn't Mobil 1 synthetic? I think you have to use a natural oil to qualify as organic - if that's your thing. ;)


Great looking babies! 7 pot is trying to keep up with Biker Billy.
 
They look great, keep yourself and those pepper warm with all that snow. Possible 6 inches here in Chicago, wish my peppers were six inches tall.
 
great looking plants Hotpeppa..simply great...
 
Ty Ty Ty everyone...

grrrrr !
 
I've got more - those were 4 of my best. I still have about 30-40 hanging in there - but a lot just got planted in March. Almost everything I planted in early January (rockwool) is dead.

are white bullet hab plants ( bigt ) usually top heavy and bushy ?
Click to expand...

Yes, mine are wider than they are tall. Tons of little branches sticking out everywhere. And a ton of pods. They will get to be a pure white if you leave them on long enough. If they get a dark streak, they are over-ripe. A very tasty pod and well worth the effort. Small and meaty. Great with a 6oz can of albacore and a little mayo and chopped onion. On any kind of toast. I'm getting hungry.:)
