scotch brain ripening woo hoo

 
pretty productive but crappy phenotype ghosts, going to use ghostpepperfarms seed next year if i can get a good deal. ghost seed is just all the fuck over the place depending on vendor, i know atleast i can trust his since he monocrops.

 
west indes are looking good, can't wait to try my first diy jerk sauce

Nice work this year Jaunito, really scaled up production this year. Looks amazing! First time seeing the yellow bubblegum...WOW!!

 

[Bhuter]

Great looking Scotch Brains! Awesome texture! It looks like it's gonna be a beautiful color, as well. Your Yellow BBG7, Choc Brainstrain, and Choc Borg 9 all look amazing! I have these three this year and I hope they all turn out as good as yours. Great stuff!

Just read through your glog. Amazing grow. You have a passion for sure. I really love the germination method. Never seen that before.

Weave does work somewhat. I used t-posts and nylon garden twine for weaving my tomatoes. Was great till the fruit weighed it down. Next year I will put two posts just like you did and run heavy wire the length of the rows.

I can't get over the Scotch Brain. Congrats on your grow. Well done. I'll have to try some of your plants next year. Always like something different.

Scotch brain looks great

 

[juanitos]

scotch brain is ripe, that was quick!
 

 

[Ozzy2001]

That's a beauty

 

[Hybrid Mode 01]

     Is it me or are your plants looking particularly awesome this season? Really green and healthy!

 

[OCD Chilehead]

Very nice looking pod indeed. Looks tasty as well.

 

[twilliams386]

Scotch Brain! Man that thing looks tasty.

 

[Bhuter]

Great color on the Scotch Brain! Have you compared the heat between the choc Brainstrain and choc Borg 9? Just wondering which one you think is hotter.

ima send stuff out to a few reviewers in a month or so when the really big harvests start rolling in. we'll see what they think. (if you are reviewer and reading this feel free to pm me lol)
 
Also have some guy who is doing experiments at university testing stuff and might get some shu tests from him.

I'm a Chilehead to the bone, but not great on reviews. It will be interesting to see how some reviews turn out. I really like Nigel's reviews, very professional.

I stopped by your website. I really like the Growing Link as well as the Pepper Database. Lots of awesome information.

had a tiny cumari do para... lit me up, 100% mouth burn for a few minutes. similar to white bullet hab but a bit different.
 
was testing my phone camera on 60fps and it overheated in 1.25 mins lol. i've been thinking about getting a real camera sometime hmm.
 
want these to ripen up jpgs

 
sbs purples doing there thang. leaves are a mix of green purple. not pure purple like i saw in some other posts.

[tctenten]

[Devv]

Using my Grand daughters lingo...just OMG!
 
Killer grow there Juanito!

 

[Canes1]

Wow, looks great, this what you classify as next level.

 

[peppamang]

That Scotch Brainstrain looks intense. What's the flavor/heat like?

 

[Trident chilli]

ScotchBrain and SBS Purple ... awesome you are certainly having a killer season as already said your plants are super healthy ... good luck for the rest of the season

 

[juanitos]

can't get enough of these scotch brains
A+++++ pheno from meatfreak
 

 

 
the brown bbg7 were not good though, this is the only one that has a calyx, is kinda weird.
