Your plants look amazing Oscar!
You are a mile ahead of me right now!
What are you feeding those beauties?

Kevin

A bit late, but i feed them with Biobizz Grow.
And when they are ready to pod up i give them Grow,Blom and on some plants i want extra loaded i give topmax all from same supplier.

Ive had some trouble with my plants this year been battling with aphids since first week. No fun! For over 150 plants. Anyway they are all gone now :)) (Didn't find any lady bugs) But somehow when i was out of town for 3 days when i got back there wasn't 1 aphid left. When i took out a plant from the greenhouse to re-pot i noticed allot of some kind of bee sitting on the leafs so i suppose they are the one to thank. And now the plants have taken off with record speed its amazing but a bit to late :/ But they are all podding up now like crazy and i isolate them all. I think this will be a great year!

Pictures will come but my main computer totally crashed 1 week ago.

How is the Hot Charleston doing for you? They grew and produced great for me last year but the plants always looked sick. Looks like yours is nice and green. Your plants are looking great :onfire:

Doing great thanks, it was the first to pod-up :) Haven't tasted it quite yet :) it was very early. So its a given plant to have.
How is the seeds i sent you doing?

Thats all for now been spending 9h in the greenhouse today even took the day of to fix things in there. More pictures later!
 
Thanks!
I haven't tasted the lightning hab yet. I think i will dry them all and make some good powder.
and for the Dougla i tough was crossed it have to be a a mistake of the name tags. It does look exactly as Bhut Jolokia Indian carbon.

And i got 2 more plants of the Dougla no pods yet just flowers but i hope them are tagged right :)

I will try take some more photos of more different chili's as they are about to set pods. And maybe just maybe try one of those Bhuts. (I think jalapeno is hot). SO will be a small bite.

That Dorset naga x Pimenta de Nayde looks pretty cool :cool: The Pimenta de Nayde I'm growing from your seeds is doing great too.

Glad it is growing well for you, i find them quite easy to grow. I only got 1 viable seed and the result was this plant its going strong. The pods are not fully grown yet so i dont know the final size and shape but it is fun. I have made 5 more crosses this year and prob will try 2-3 more.Once i figure out what to cross :)

I cant seem to find the Giant bhuts am growing i know i had like 5 of those but they are just gone. So they will be on my list for next year as well.

Thanks Lando!


Meatfreak;

Yeah i am curious to on how it will look like. Prob pale red. But next generation how would they look like? Its gonna be fun to grow them out! :)


I also have had some issues with something eating my pods, i only grow in greenhouse yet something manged to eat like 100 red peppers :( And some green ones. As i dident have a bad season :(

Anyway today i decided to take actions, it could be birds or some mouse. Anyway long story short, i bought some toxic for mouses and as i walked in the my greenhouse what do i see? A FREAKING MOUSE!!!!!!!
He runs away into a hole to another room, i follow and then i see allot of chili seeds on the floor and some pods half eaten. I guess i bet on the right horse.
GRRRRRRR!!
