MoA Jamaican scotch bonnets....

so...as a few of you know that when i came on here.. one of my mission was to be able to acquire some pods and or seeds of JAMAICAN SCOTCH BONNETs.... others came along to help me with seeds (smokemaster, midwestchilihead, jamison and GreenTea) but i had a hard time growing them due to various reasons.it was my first grow..


so anyways.. along came a guy name Steve954 who introduced us to the MoA (ministry of agriculture) Jamaican scotch bonnets...


again i am truly humbled and glad i am able to grow this pepper

got a couple germing in jiffy pucks.. and a couple in my aerogarden....

you got it too i see... this is what scott Devv posted on mine..

As far as broad mites go, I had my butt kicked early on, Shane ID'ed them, don't know if they live here or came in on the few plants I bought at Lowes. I did a ton of research, and came up with this that ended my problems....well so far.

So here goes:

They like weeds, that's where they will be waiting. I had my container plants near high (Bermuda) grass and weeds on the south side of the house, they all got hammered.

I also read that wettable sulfur works to kill they're nasty selves, I hit them with that and they went away.

A few plants were still there on the side of the house and became infected.....again. By this time Annie had mentioned she had great success with a Rosemary based oil...like 64 bucks a pint, or quart, anyways...too expensive. I had mentioned we might be able to make this, Ramon found a video, so having a ton of Rosemary I made some, sent him some and both of us tested it. It does kill the mites.

You can't use sulfur and oils within 2 to 3 weeks of each other, bad for peps. Try 1 or both as tests and see which you like best. Any oil treatment requires some shade or leaf burn occurs. I was able to test on the potted plants as I could move them.

So I plant a garden surrounded by cattle graze on 2 sides, next year I'm going to scalp it down like a lawn for 50 yds all around the garden, I may even disc it under to create a buffer zone.

I have a real soft spot in my hear for SBs.  The MOA variety may have taken over from Foodarama as my favorite SB - not sure as I've never grown/tasted the MOA.  If anyone has MOA available, let me know.  Thanks.

I think they are distributing them around to other growers as well so, lets hope this variety gets out there!

Yes indeed. Thanks guys. Those seeds will go to at least 1 UK grower, and 1 Finnish grower, as well as myself. I'm sure there will be a few more who want to grow this variety as well!

Strange, been a while since I sent them, I would have thought you received them by now. I sent yours and Stefan's (meatfreak) at the same time, he already received his. Dam chili-head customs agents, if you want I could resend more or do you think they will still come?
