I'll post a pic of the Gomdol tomorrow...but its still small

Thanks Chris, Thailand was great as usual, but it was a bit hectic with this damn neck and 3 young kids all under 5 yrs.
The Trinidad Scorpion Green is supposed to stay green but when cut open it has the ripe colour???

Yeh seen a phsio and all the other docs, it needs an operation to replace 2 discs but I'm a big chicken because if anything goes wrong in the operation it could be alot more serious....so better the devil I know

I get the hybrids from fellow chilliheads (thanks all) and a few are my own crosses

Mate I had a fusion at C6/7 and a disc replacement at L4/5 in 2004 it was the best thing I have ever done. My back has never hurt since, in fact it is the strongest part of me. But I know what you mean about the caution bit. I waited until I couldnt walk anymore before I got it done for that very reason. There are no 2nd chances when it comes to spinal surgery.

Some truly amazing pods there, JR! I've been hanging out for some of your shots!

Don't get me wrong, regular pods are great and all but rarities and crosses are something else!

I especially wanted to see how these bad girls turned out as I have been thinking about trying my hand at crossing and one I want to try is Trinidad Scorpion x Pimenta da Neyde.

Hi grant ,

truly beautiful collection you have there. where do you find space to keep all those plant at the back of your house ? very nice crosses

wonder if the bhut's keep their heat in your f1,f2's .

How wonderful Grant
congratulations on your season, you have spectacular variety. Greetings
Domenico

Finally!!. Been waiting to see some pics from you Grant...and well worth the wait.
interesting crosses as usual. The devils tongue white looks like a heavy producer. Love the colour on the 7 pot orange. Awesome stuff!

franzb69 · Apr 5, 2011

loving your work as always. =D

JSNI · Apr 5, 2011

Beautiful, beautiful pictures Grant!

Those Manzanos looks......huge :eek:

And the 'folding' of that Kapowie (?) is done with perfection

JungleRain · Apr 6, 2011

thanks for all the nice comments guys, I'll get some more pics up agin hopefully on the weekend
this season was a bit of an uphill battle from the start, even though I lost around 2/3 of what I started out with
I guess I can't complaint with what I have left
....ahhhhh but this next season I will more than make up for the short fall....fingers crossed :cool:

Looks like you're doing OK in the end JR, nice pics.

Edit: Are you getting the same great weather today? Should help with ripening.

jolokia_jas · Apr 7, 2011

Nice pics Grant, Some of crosses are truly a spectical!! Nice job!!

Sandgroper · Apr 7, 2011

looking awesome Grant, The Devils tongue white is interesting as all my ones had the same leaf formation and I spent ages trying to correct it. I gave up in the end and they have turned out fine. Must be a trait with thst strain of seed. Love the different hybrids that you have grown mate.

the weather has been great the last few days and now most of the pods are begining to ripen
though there are a few plants that just flowered...no pods

thanks some of them have turned out really well,
the 7 pod white hybrid is still unripe, the other strain of it has turned out a bright yellow
time will tell

thanks Marc,
yes that white devils tongue is a strange one but it puts out hundreds of off white pods
with a nice fruity hab taste, it doesnt hit strait away but slowly I've noticed... but thats prob just my taste buds
