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.

More soon,

Mezo.
 
Well i thought i had only one Butch T Trippa until i pulled this out today just because i was so curious as to what it was??

The other one (labelled Butch T) does look similar in some way, but fatter pods so im still unsure what im growing here? possibly its cross pollinated with something in the storm? after all they was all in a big heap on the floor after being ripped by a mini tornado.

Its obviously not a Butch T in any shape or form, but was is my cock up or did i get the wrong seeds from Judy?

Mezo.
 
Even if it cross pollinated in the storm mez it won't show any different characteristics from the original plant until you grow out the seeds from these pods.
More likely that they weren't butch T's to start with or they were crossed (hybrid seeds) when you received them ... not saying they were but simply stating what they are not
 
Ah OK then well here is my grow list again, does anything on here looks like those?

Mezo.
 
Closest would be naga Morich by my estimation ...

Nah my Naga Morich have all grown true to form Trip`s (again from Judy) absolutely nothing like this pepper.

And where are my Butch T`s then? i doubt i mislabelled two or more plants so it has to be a cock up on Judy`s part then, any one else had these grow?

Mezo.
 
Show more pics. One isn't enough for an ID. Maybe some different angles

There are two pic`s Pia, they are all the same shape as this (even in the video) i will take a shot of a ripe one tomorrow & only because its you sweetie. :party:

Mezo. (Dave will be getting jealous now ive called you sweetie) :rofl:
 
Well I would have to say wrong/hybrid seeds from the source then.

That`s what i thought, Judy does her best im sure but even NASA makes mistakes, it wouldn't stop me from buying from Judy in the future as i love her service. ;)

And of course her freebies. :party:

Mezo.
 
Thanks Mez. I'm all giddy now. Ahhahaaa. Sorry I thought they were two different plants. I'm on my phone and my eyes play tricks.
Dayum drunken phone posts!!!

I'd say its a cross...not quite like the lantern's I've grown??? Cool pod fo-sho. Judy probably makes FAR fewer mistakes than NASA!

Well it would explain why through the year one by one they dropped dead (being hybrid) im not so concerned i just wont be trying a Butch this year, whatever it is or was its loaded with fruit.

Mezo.
 
Didn't your cousin eat part of a red douglah in your steak taretare video? Is that on your grow list Mez? Looks like a super hot whatever it is what with all that dimpling ;)

Curiosity got the better of me & i was dying to know what that plant was in the video, i didn't recognise the shape whatsoever?

And here`s a random shot (below) went back to look at its name but couldn't find it again so its called "Random Chilli 1"

Mezo.
 
Well its been chucking it down all week, had planned do do a little harvest last Monday & thought ill wait a day or so? so today the rain has eased up but there is more on its way, lots more.

So ive just gone & lopped any ripe red pods & they will be simply sliced in half & thrown in the dryer lets call it "Mezo` Mystery Mix" :party:
