Awesome shots dude!

Even with all that rain things are looking great over there buddy! That pic a few updates back of the Maui Purple is awesome! I love the flag blowing in the wind flower and the pepper looks like a black unicorn's horn.

I've never had a Fructecense (spelling??) or a pubescence. Tried growing a few this year (hell I still might have one or two) but my labeling system failed miserably and I don't have much a clue as to what's going to manifest in my garden this year....haha I'll pray for a short drought to pass your way dude.

Your photo skills are so freakin awesome! What color are your pubes? Are they blonde, brunette or are they Gingers? I like the Yellows and Oranges better than the reds or chocolates...but they're all good. A much different flavor than any other pepper...and the longest burn of anything I have tried. Surprisingly hot too! Your grow is so neat and organized...I need to put more of my OCD into my pics and garden!

Can't wait to try them. I have White,brunette,red,ginger,blonde going currently. OCD was fun years back,now I never have any time,so it leads to a lot of frustrations. If that makes any sense.

Yup! Then you start obsessing about time management! Life keeps no schedule...it tosses you a couple curves and a knuckle and your struggling to reschedule and obsessing about it even more. Kinda like trying to sleep when you only got a few hours to do it..."If I fall asleep right now, I can get 3.5 hrs...Ok, Ok...if I fall asleep right now, I can get 3 hrs..."

Pics are great! Those are some Super Flexy Flowers!

Dialed in JB. Pics amazing as usual and flower shots, well let's just say you have the flower power :party:

I count hours on a daily basis,sometimes 1/2 hours. Hold off eating until 10 at night and you can save that 30 minutes of daylight to finish the grass. My free time is at work... crazy.

When the sun comes out they should get back on pace. They are lagging a bit. Thanks J

Nightshade · Jul 2, 2013

Wow wow wow that is all I can say. My 19198s are still babies but they are growing fast. That flexousum is amazing how big is it?

millworkman · Jul 2, 2013

My list is growing as well John and I can now save pure seeds so it is going to be even worse.

JoynersHotPeppers · Jul 2, 2013

Awesome photography and an amazing grow. Are you using the flash on the point and shoot? I have the same issue as you, if I cannot get morning sun I have to almost wait until dark to get shots. Simply an amazing grow!

adamk2212 · Jul 2, 2013

Just got caught up on your whole glog. Was fun to search out the Mata Frade as I went along. What a beautiful plant!! Have you had its pods before? Can't wait to see what they look like.

WalkGood · Jul 2, 2013

John, I agree with what Doc Brent said but would even say that the cgn19198 flower looks as if it were trimmed, isn’t nature wonderful & beautiful \o/

Everything else is spectacular and I’m even overlooking the dirt that Jamie spotted

The pubescens looks incredible, what are you doing to keep them looking so great? Heck I don’t even see the yellow you say from all the rain.

Not Infinity Yellow Yellow, 7 Pot Red, Orange Primo … dem look wicked mon … love dat backside C.flexuosum picture. Great job, keep up dat awesome grow mon and have a great week!

PaulG · Jul 2, 2013

Finally got a chance to scope out at least the last few pages.
Looks like a fantastic grow goin' there, and your pics are to die for!

Continued success your way. John!

Maybe 15". It is just starting to grow now.

I don't use the flash on full plant shots,they never come out right.It makes them look like plastic. I do like to take pod and flower shots with the flash on though.You can get some nice detail.I wait until it is completely dark and use a led head lamp(also helps navigating the garden at night) to give a mild illumination to the pod or blossom. Too close and the picture washes out. I keep it far enough back that I can focus cleanly. I have the flash turned down to as low as possible -2.0 on my camera. Maybe not the textbook method but it works. It gives it a nice effect I think and decent detail. I can't shoot RAW and I don't have time to photoshop so it is my best option.

They are a chinense with a small round pod like most of the wilds. A great looking plant from seedling to full grown. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit. This is for other members more than myself.

The CGN19198 has a rotate flower shape and sometimes the tips of the petals curl back. I notice that on some of the wilds,small or ornamental annuums,and especially frutescens,they do it more than any other species IMO. I should have posted another photo to clear up any confusion. Chiles aren't generally known for their beauty but I am a fan. The tovarii flower is the one I have been battling to shoot. They are yellow and the streaks inside are a green color so the contrast is hard to capture. Last week I had every kind of light known to man and I was about 30 shots in and found the perfect combo for a perfect shot. I set the timer and I am licking my chops.... 10..9...8..7..6..5..4..3..2....battery dies on me! aaaarrrggghhhhhh

Just not the same with you here only periodically! A huge void in the glogs. I hope you are enjoying your retirement! Thanks for checking in my friend.

Devv · Jul 2, 2013

I've been slacking...well just plain busy I guess...but anyway got caught up here and the photography is of course fantastic. Love the night shots. I just bought a L820 last week, our small cam crapped, and you and several have been using the coolpic cams with great results. I was able to borrow one and test drive it prior to purchase. I still need to figure it out...but damn you have!

Your grow is doing REALLY well, impressive plants!

My bro doesn't live to far from you and I've been trying to get him to visit and look what the skilled growers up north are doing...

Happy plants!

Nightshade · Jul 2, 2013

I can't tell from my phone but are those pods on the flexousum? Wow barely over a foot. I have tried a couple dried eximium pods I think one was 19198 and they tasted like popcorn let me know how they taste fresh

PIC 1 · Jul 2, 2013

Excellent work with the detail.........especially, while being under the "weather conditions".....I see it's rained more than you need, but the plants look fine....green as can be.

You sure have the early "hots" podding up. Most likely a bumper crop for you. The ow's will be loaded..........wait til Sept. ...you'll be snipping the pods just like the old time barber haircut with the scissors..............no joke(s)

I'm looking forward to viewing more of the spot on .....photography

Most cams now will give you some nice options. Small sensor will limit you alittle but a nice start. Looking forward to seeing your shots.

Whete is your brother located? Chilehead?

Some pods hanging on it. I will let you know about the flavor.

Found another intetesting Not Yellow Infinity today.

I think these Fatalii pods grew overnight.

Birgit Locoto

I will start showcasing some pods and plants I have not posted yet in my next update. Have a safe holiday folks.

Good to see you Greg! I have been wondering when the OW's were going to start making pods. Found 30 or so pods on my Douglah today that I know weren't there yesterday. Have a safe weekend,I'm sure you have some good food lined up.

Peptacular · Jul 2, 2013

Damn man lookin great. Making me feel like a bisnitch, I'm further south and wish I had pods like that. Keep up the good work!
