Thank you very much, Uros.
 
The camera is a Nikon D300S.
It is an awesome piece of technology.
 
Are you still looking for Orange Habanero and Aji Amarillo seeds?
If so PM me your addy, and I'll send some your way.

 
cool camera.. I just have the good ol' Nikon D80 .. but it's ok, untill you wanna use higher ISO's than 400
 
I'm still looking for them, but I'm sure not gonna grow them this year, I got plenty of plants to take care of
but if you're willing to share a few seeds for next year's season, I'm sure gonna send you an addy

 

[TrentL]

Dang those are some nice looking plants, and nice looking pictures!

How about the heat level of the yellow Mushrooms?

WARNING: Don't try this recipe with a Giant Yellow 7-Pot.  The worst morning after I've ever had!

 

[PaulG]

Well yes, and they sunburn when it goes into the 80's here, and then the drying winds. I had about 15% wilt even with the sunshade. They're back out again this afternoon, except the wilty gals
 

Great that you can get them out.  They should really start to turn heads after a little real sun!

Be sure to do that, my friend.  You can always grow them next season, or just get crazy!

Thanks, Trent!

I'm not sure my red mushrooms were even that hot.  
I was amazed.

That is a great idea, Jim!  I'll try that with some
Red Mushrooms, if Alzeimer's doesn't interfere!

 

[maximumcapsicum]

Interestkng glog Paul! I was wondering what evened out your powders. Now I know one of your secrets! It never would have occurred to mix in the mushrooms.

Dude, that looks so frigging good. 
 
Going to need to try that with some pods this summer.
 
Actually I might try that sooner than this summer since I still have a fully stocked deep freeze from last year... I need to work my way through those gallon bags someday soon!

Thank you, Adam.  I like to mellow the supers out at least a little!  
I use Brown Eggs the same way with super hot chocolate varieties.  
I am growing some other milder varieties this year for the same purpose.
Costeño Amarillo from Oaxaca is another good one, as I think Chili de Agua
(also from Oaxaca) might be.  We'll see.

 

[Sawyer]

This is the reason I'm branching out more into milds and sweets this year, to get more pepper flavor in recipes without them being screaming hot. 

 

[PaulG]

Right on, brothah!

 

[stickman]

S'right gents... I'm all about the flavor too. Good on ya both!
 
The Brown Egg seeds I tried to start last season never thrived, but I have hopes that John's seeds do better...

 

[Pulpiteer]

 
I already changed my Annuum list to add in the Yellow Jamacian mushrooms I grew a couple of years ago. Some places (including the place I originally got the seeds from) try to pass them off as scotch bonnets, but when you see them grow, and taste them they are definitely annuums.

 
Yep, they are often listed as chinense, and I've made that mistake myself. The way to tell the difference that I learned was by the stem.  A chinense has a smooth stem that attaches to the pod in a smaller area (if that makes sense) and the annuum stem has ridges and flares out where it attaches to the pod. 
Potted up plants are looking terrific Paul! Healthy and beautiful specimens as usual!

Well heck.  Here I've been starting my yellow/orange Jamaicam Mushrooms along with my chinenses every year.  They turn from yellow to an orange if left on the plant.

I hope they do well for you, Rick.   Jason sent my seeds,
and they were pretty dependable.  It's an interesting plant.

Live and learn, huh, Jim!
 
Here's a few pics of some of the greenhouse plants.  
 
NuMex Twilight getting some new growth:

 
The volunteer that came up in the c. chacoense pot.  
Flowers are white with purple tips:

 
Fatali bon chi:

 
The Aji Amarillos and Manzanos went into the Jiffy pellets on Nov. 15th, 2014,
three months ago.  They are in 5 1/2 inch pots.
 
These two Aji Amarillos from the same fat pod.  
First Goliath:

 
Then the sibling:

 
This is Goliath's Branching top:

 
These two are from the same fluorescent orange pod.  
The second seems to have the bushier phenotype that I'm looking for:

 

 
Manzanos:

 

 
Thanks for dropping in!
