Mezo`s "super hots" Glog including the 'big' solar dehydrator.

The is thread with the humungous solar dehydrator. :D

G-Day, im Mez or Mezo & im new to this part of Australia having come from Perth (Western Australia) where growing chili peppers is so easy (except the heat).

I live in the border ranges in northern New South Wales (bordering Queensland) and its a mixed bag of temperate & tropical conditions, the summers are very hot, wet & humid, the winters are dry & sunny.



Average daily temps.

And average monthly rainfall.

Aussies reading this will already know this, but people in other country's probably paint a picture of Australia as a hot dry/dusty land but this is far from the truth, up north its full blown tropics with a wet season & 100% humidity (yuck). Down south its freezing cold & snow during winter, out west its a dry heat like in the Mediterranean & in the middle of Australia is desert country.

So im now growing for the first time "Super hots" and for a very important reason, whilst working away in Perth i had a double heart attack wich has left me permanently disabled, sadly they are unable to operate on me (bypass/stent) as its to far gone, so having worked all my life (Electrician) im now at the age of 45 claiming a disability pension & i hate not being able to work.

Now i take shovel fulls of dam tablets to keep my heart pumping & id rather not be taking any but right now there no option i have to take them or ill drop dead on the spot. After much reading i found out that cayenne powder has all sort of benefits to your health & well being, especially to your cardio vascular system. I had read that cayenne powder can stop a heart attack in its track & i put this to the test (twice) and yes it does work where the medication (Nitrolingual) had no effect.

So anyone reading this who spots a friend having a heart attack just flick some chili powder in a glass of water as fast as you can & get them to drink in right down, fast. It works within 30 seconds of drinking it & it saved me from two more attacks already.

So there's my life story in a nutshell & some sound advice on how to save a heart attack victims life.
And this ladies & gentlymen is why im growing "Super Hots" to make high heat cayenne powder for cooking to improve my circulation/remove fats & as a "just in case of emergency"

OK on with the first of my "Hots" the Bhut Jolokia, the reason i chose this was simple i just Googled "whats the hottest chili" and up popped the result, however further reading on the interweb i found threads from this forum & names like the Butch T, the Douglah & Brain Strain.

So ive ordered them from pepperlover.com after so many people gave such great reviews, Bhut in the meantime lets look at my Jolokia`s.

Must admit i just love the shape & color of these babies.

My mother was born on Dec. 26th. When she was growing
up, her birthday never got celebrated. Eleven siblings!

My mom was born on Dec. 26th. There were eleven siblings,
so her birthday never got celebrated. Sucky indeed.
 
Thanks Mezo. Nose is fine but there are other issues unfortunately. Trying to get it sorted.

Grind up those St. Helena's seeds and all!
 
Looks like my Antalya Dan... both the look of the pepper (although Banana Peppers ripen to yellow don't they? Antalya goes red) and the one lonely pod just hanging there.
 
You still there Mezo? You didn't get washed or blown away? Seems like you're being put through the wringer out there!

Thought id show this epic fail, i saved some seeds from Wooly`s (supermarket) Banana Pepper, only one grew & fruited, haaaa.

Worth saving the seeds?

Mezo.

I've had this happen on a Hungarian hot wax my first season, which is a similar strain, if not the same I think. Plants just do it sometimes.
 
Im here & ive done another movie, problem is i cant upload it for a few days as ive been "shaped" on my broadband connection.

Because of the rains there was nothing else to do for days but to watch Youtube & watch i did, so ive blown the allowance for the month & they throttle you back on speed until your new monthly allowance kicks in (tuesday morning).

So no movies, no picture heavy threads, just text for a few days.

You didn't have to make up an elaborate story Mezo. just say the truth..... downloaded too much porn ;)
 
Rivers dropped back to normal, went in to town today & crossing the bridges you can see where the water level was well over the top of them, one old wooden bridge was nearly swept away & i filmed it on the phone, you can see its actually moved it sideways.

Will upload next week.

Mezo.
 
Mezo's always pullin' his chain....he doesn't waste his time on the interweb, he keeps it real with vintage VHS tapes staring big mustaches and bushy merkins...Mezo is short for Mezohorny.

Lots going on over there Mezo, pup looks like he'll be a wonderful side kick to your shenanigans. I like your experiment, especially because its working lol. Most experiments end in a scratch on the head and a "where did it all go wrong?" I'll be looking forward to the end heat results.

Stay safe and watch your six, buddy.
 
Thanks Dave, i can post these as i uploaded them before they "Shaped me" its us lot sitting in the rain eating hot Steak Tartare.
The river the next day.
Zoli is my Hungarian cousin, he`s eaten chilli all his life & cant see what the big deal is. :rofl:

Mezo.
 
Is he the one speaking in the river vid too mez :rofl:

Kunny Funt, he`s the one who`s eating the Googly (as he calls it) the meat it loaded with Bhut Jolokia already & he`s just topping it up with a Douglah, after he`s just bitten the end off a fresh Bhut.

Didn't even break a sweat??

Here`s Danny having fun in the cruiser tearing up Trish`s wet bottom paddock.
Mezo.
 
"Wash your hands before you have a ?? tonight".... I'm not surprised you know the drill, Meez. :lol:

BTW, meant to say, freakin' good you and your plants didn't get swept away with your track record for nuts weather there! :party:
