For background on my set up with plenty of pics and commentary click http://www.thehotpep...-now-with-pics/ basically, I have a 5x5x7 growtent with a 600w MH.

I am planting via 2 methods, coffee filter and direct sow. I want to eventually plant out 1 of each variety so I sowed 3 seeds. I soaked my seeds last night in water and planted 1 in a tray of Hoffman’s Seed Starter (thanks Ronnie),

and the other two I stuck in coffee filters and plastic bags. So EVERYONE is aware, this method is not a quick one. Consider yourself warned.

When I finished planting/bagging everything, I stuck it in my tent which maintains about 81-84 and we shall keep our fingers crossed.

parting shot

Now it is time to PWN some 12 year olds in MW3. Peace!

Bhutcicles....will be doing some experimenting with fruit purees, big pods ......I may regret this

Last night , I got ambushed when some friends showed up at the ship....long story short, after the mandatory beer fest was over , food consumed etc, I stashed the top half a primo next to the half of a shrimp poorboy. Got up early, shagged back to port....sure am hungry. In the dark , doing the old "by feel" thing, I opened the " wrong" end of the wrapper...thought a "a loose shrimp or 2", tipped the wrap up, chomped away (enter the "you dip sh$t" thought) ....you guessed it, the mean end of the primo. No fluids avail...... ...."damn it man" strikes again.Long drive , and I don't think I could taste ANY of that remaining sandwich....

Holy Heck in a hand basket Matt, now that's something nice to come home to. My aim is to have the same problem your having next year.

 

[MGOLD86]

That is a nice harvest to come home to.

OMG! I could only imagine!! I thought it was tough enough KNOWING that I was eating a Primo! I am not into the OOPS...I just ate a superhot crew!

Here are a few more photos.

That is like having xmas in August.... Very nice hall. You deserve it. And that review was awesome. I think Im going to give Judy some business this winter and get some seeds that I dont have

OHH and the way you laid out the peppers and labeled them is extremely helpful to a novice like me. Helps me see the difference in the pod shapes colors ect.

Thanks Pia!! I would definitely check Judy out, she has always been more than awesome to us. Kinda like the Pepper Ms. Santa Claus!

I can't take the credit for the layout pic, I saw SilverSurfer post one and had to do a bit of CTRL + C....

 

[SocalChilehead]

Awesome layout Matt looks like a party on that table that will cause a painful ending.

I was JUST telling the wife about how many pods I had to eat....as I reached for the pepto...lol!

Gonna be a hot few weeks!

 

[Fremp]

LOL....the emotional roller coaster,and the facial expressions are PRICELESS!
"almost rain man like"

Another thing, When you cough, IT'S ABOTTT TA GO DOWN! I think I've seen you cough maybe 2-3 times?

 

[MGOLD86]

same thing happens in the doctors office....

So I gave the Peach Bhut a shot last night.

i actually have been pretty excited to review this one. I got a chance to try a part of this pod from a dried piece that Joe put in the seed bag. Many people say this one is their favorite tasting pods, and it didn't disappoint on that account.

On Taste. It had a pretty fruity quick burst of flavor, not to perfume tasting, which made it great to eat. It was atypical to most of the other Bhuts I have tried, in that it wasn't "earthy". The flavor carried through the heat and that made it more enjoyable. I still think that the taste of the dried pod was a bit better, and think powdering it would be awesome.

On Heat. The heat wasn't too bad, more on the milder side of the heavyweights. I don't know if I would call it a "super", but it was definitely on the hotter end of the spectrum of those pods that fall just short of being supers.

Overall. A good producer, and a medium heat. It is a pain in the tail to determine if the pods are ripening, you almost have to break one open to make sure it is ready. If nothing else, they look cool as hell...

Nice review of the Peach Bhut, that is one pepper I can't wait to grow next year.

 

[highalt]

Wow!!! Awesome harvest!

A couple of questions. 2nd row, first two trays. Are those habaneros or peach bhuts?

Love the labeled pics! What program are you using to edit the photos?

Oh, and a suggestion from the peanut gallery, aka my 13 year old son who's usually playing computer games next to me while I watch your videos. Turn your head away from the mic when you blow your nose, LOL! I always enjoy your videos, and it won't be the same around THP once you're deployed!

 

[saugapepper]

Matt, great video! I got some seeds from ajijoe a few weeks ago. Will be growing the Peach Bhut in the summer of 2013.

 

[Fremp]

dammit guess I have to add this one to the ever growing list of things to grow...
Awesome review as always

 

[Sanarda]

great review. lmfaoo at still trying to fit in you pre-pregnancy clothes. That cracked me up. Your going to make me spend hundreds of dollars on peppers next year with these reviews..

 

[romy6]

Matt my man. I just wanted to thank you for the box of pure that you just sent me. Just when I though my ass was gonna get a break BAM! Many strains I have never had the pleasure of dabbling. You are the growing machine. The ButchT pod is a monster. And the Choclate bhut is the biggest bhut I ever ave seen( that didn't sound right )! . You will repaid in a huge way. The kicker was seeing the chocolate habs grown from seeds that I have grown. You made my day. I cannot thank you enough. Be on the lookout for a nice package of powder I will be making this weekend to take on your tour.

The money shot!!!!

 

[HillBilly Jeff]

Nice video. Some day I will get to that level lol.

 

[Sanarda]

Aww Jaime nice package. You should start doing reviews. It's great to see you getting great packages in the mail. Enjoy my friend.

 

[MGOLD86]

Nice review of the Peach Bhut, that is one pepper I can't wait to grow next year.

Thanks, I am pretty happy with it. A bit of a PITA to tell when they are ripe, but good taste and good heat.

Wow!!! Awesome harvest!

Hey Bonnie! Glad you stopped in! The second row, first tray are Fataliis, and the second tray are Peach Bhuts. I use Skitch to edit the photos, and it works pretty good for me as well as super easy to use. Tell your son thanks for the tip, I wouldn't want to screw up his kill/death ratio in CoD...

Matt, great video! I got some seeds from ajijoe a few weeks ago. Will be growing the Peach Bhut in the summer of 2013.

Yea, that is where I got my seeds from. He is awesome for those crazy seeds.

dammit guess I have to add this one to the ever growing list of things to grow...
Awesome review as always

Yup you do! Lol. Just accept the fact that you are going to have more than you planned.

great review. lmfaoo at still trying to fit in you pre-pregnancy clothes. That cracked me up. Your going to make me spend hundreds of dollars on peppers next year with these reviews..

lol! No need to spend hundreds, wait, what does my ledger say?

No problem Jamie!! I am just happy that I was able to START to repay your generosity!

Nice video. Some day I will get to that level lol.

lol, it aint that hard if I can do it!! lol, if you would have showed me photos of the end of my season at the beginning of my season....I would have told you that you were



So I am getting down to the wire, and I wanted to bring a bit of heat with me. People here have been super generous and I have a few bottles of sauces and powders coming in pretty soon. I am planning on stockpiling some HEAT in my bag to light some Marine faces on fire!

So today I broke out the new dehydrator!

I started with this:

I thought I was going to be able to fit them all...NOPE! LOL

So what I ended up with is 2 different "recipes". One is all Bhut. I threw in Yellow, Peach, Brown, Choc, and Red. The other is a Stupid Super mix. It has Infinity, 7 Pots, Brains, Assams, Primos, Douglahs, ButchTs, TSs, and really any other red super pod I had.

Here is the Super mix.

And the center 2 are the Bhuts

Also, parting shot....ever seen frozen capsaicin?

Now I have a TON of more pods to go..l am thinking....sauce....maybe.....

 

[Justaguy]

Thanks Matt. A little late posting this due to busy garden times.

Tomorrow I need to take pics and harvest.

 

[stc3248]

That powder is gonna be stupid hot! Like the Bhut Medley idea...may steal it!
