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:"

This has been a great season for the Purple Thunder cross.
Awesome color, and great vigor. I hope everyone who gets
these seeds will grow them out and post some results here
next season. Will be interesting to see what future generations
bring.
 
Thanks for following this thread - see you here next season!
 
Would you look at that, My last post of the season is a
page-topper

Thanks a lot for the seeds good sir, they arrived safe and sound! This is not helping my choices get any easier for what to grow next year, but I love it! The Bjh-2 is my favorite in terms of looks, did you notice any flavor differences between the varieties?

PS: the pequin is drying a little more before I 'pack' it away until Jan - nice to even be able to sample a pod

Hey, Erv, glad to see they made it to Denmark
in one piece!  Good luck with those, my friend!

 

[DontPanic]

My seeds just arrived!  Thanks! 
 
I've been going back through the Glog reviewing the differences between these phenotypes.
 
The BJh-2 looks interesting because of the yellow/orange mixed in with the purple hues.
 
I'm not sure why, but any pepper with the word "mystery" attracts my attention.

 

[PaulG]

Alright! I am glad they made it there, DP!

Hope they do well for you.

  Just sniffing those jars is enough to
 
bring on the tears and sneezing

But you will do it again, right?

I haven't been too active on THP lately and just stumbled upon this thread...
 
Wow that purple thunder looks really nice! I have to say those colorful pods appeal more to me than the Tripp'l Threat pods do!

I hope that's just because you have been busy.

The PT turned out to be a nice cross, Marc. A lot different
type of pepper than the Trippaul Threat cross, for sure. The
pods are much more bhutish, whereas the TT pods lean
more toward the PdN-shaped pods.
 
Glad you like 'em!

The cycle begins again. I’m growing the
Purple Thunder BJh-2, yellow pod variety.
Slow to germinate, but several hooks:

Showing a little purple shading on the cotys already

I just got a few BJh-2 and BJh-Mystery in the dirt yesterday.
 
I knocked my first batch onto the floor.  This is my second try.

Gotta love them purple leafs! Can't wait to see this plant in full size...

I didn't like to hear that, Mitch 
I live in fear of doing the same thing 
 
Good luck bringing the new sowings
into the world!

Looks like great germination on my seeds that you sent me. I'll try not to kill them all. I'm excited to see what they might do
