Purple Thunder / Bhut Jolokia x (PdN x Bonda Ma Jacques)

I have decided to start a dedicated Grow Log for
the Purple Thunder Bhut Jolokia hybrid.

It made its first appearance in 2015:
"This coloration might be the result of the intense
light on these red Bhuts, but only 2/6 show the trait.
If it is a cross,the only purple-y plant near the bhut
was Trippa's Mystery Cross. All of these seeds from
the same pod:"

I realized I hadn't updated this thread with some pics of 2023 plants/pods.

So, without further ado, I present....

Purple Thunder Mystery (dr6) - 2023 version

Again this year, the plants stayed true to form, and continued to be the tallest pepper plants in the garden.

The pods start out purple, and ripen to a medium red with a smokey, purple tint

And, like in previous years, these buggers are HOT, lol. All around great pepper. Thanks again for sharing @PaulG!

P.S. Seeds from these pods are on the 2023 Seed Train. Y'all might-can still jump on board. Just sayin. :whistle:
 
Thanks for the update, DR. You have a real winner
there, indeed. Glad to see it is still producing those
smokey red pods! You are a real man if you can eat
those. Even a tiny bit of powder can light up some
soup or eggs!
