MoA Jamaican scotch bonnets....

Blister · Jun 30, 2014

I've got a few more started on my J-MoA in a hempy.

Biggest pod

Still not producing the Grade A phenotype yet... Got some others growing so I'm looking forward to seeing how they produce.

Damn Neil that sucks brotha! Them seeds I sent you were most definitely isolated. I grew them out directly from the MoA in Jamaica, seeds that Steve sent me and I only collected seeds from A Grade pods. Hopefully things turn around!

I'm sure they will. There's to many people here growing with your seeds that I'm not worried. That and I don't care if they're "grade a" I'm after flavour!

Hello Everyone,

Im new to the forum and I just wanted to introduce myself to you fellow chilli heads out there. I'm here to learn, share and have a good time experiencing the world of chilies. I've been on a hunt for Jamaican MOA Scotch Bonnet seeds. I've heard all hype around the MOA and wanted to find out how prolific this strain really is.

I'll have seed in the fall, happy to share.

In the meantime, stop by the introduction forum to say hello and enjoy the board!

And I'm finally getting some pod confirmation on the MOAs!

Terravexti · Jul 9, 2014

My first ripe MoA! I have two or three ideal pods on this plant.

Fantastic plant shots guys. I popped two MoA pods into a jerk sauce marinade yesterday. Can't wait to see how it turns out. These are amazing pods.

Has anyone else noticed that the MoA is a particularly thirsty plant/

All my plants seem a bit thirsty this year! We were doing well early on, rapid early growth. Now that the daily afternoon rains aren't coming, things seem to be slowing down a bit. Gotta get the watering schedule in check.

Terravexti · Jul 10, 2014

The flavour of this pepper is as advertised. I'll be growing this one next year as well.

ArkansasJack · Jul 11, 2014

My moa it's had a few runt pods and I transplanted it in a pot and now starting to take off small pods are visible

Terravexti · Jul 15, 2014

A couple of these MoA pods are BIG.

HillBilly Jeff · Jul 18, 2014

Already had some non A pods ripen and I was worried. Looks like I will get some better pods soon. One plant of 12

Hi and greetings from Finland!

I got seeds last year from KingDenniz and they germinated nicely.

They are currently growing in a isolated section inside a nursery greenhouse - 2 plants in NFT, 7 plants in AutoPot systems with autofeed (2 of them in coco coir) and one is in a traditional pot. I haven't seen any Grade A peppers yet, hopefully I'll get some during the season. MoA's seem to be very prolific and taste is awesome. Sorry for the picture flood

edit: Forum software doesn't support many pictures at once, so just click the links.

MoA sauce ingredients.

Processing in a blender.

Sauce getting boiled.

MoA sauce finalized and canned.

So, currently it looks like i won't get any proper Grade A peppers this season. Are there any members with Grade A seeds willing to send me some, so i could try to get some proper pods next season?

I'll pay for the expenses, of course. I'll report more during the rest of the growing season.

kgetpeppers · Jul 25, 2014

Idk herp. I have kingdennis seeds as well and my first pods are looking pretty good a Grade. Time will tell

Capsicum Select · Jul 25, 2014

My first MoA pod, not grade A but I have other plants going. A few of the other buds on this plant look like they will be closer to grade A too. (seeds from KingDenniz)

maximumcapsicum · Jul 25, 2014

My seeds from Jamison are putting out about 80% grade A's I think. Will post some pics to confirm. Got a bunch of OP seed and working on some isolates now.
