romy6 2013

Well 2012 is old news so time to push onward. It was a great year for me pepperwise. If you did not get a chance to follow me last year and would like to check it out here is the link http://thehotpepper.com/topic/27252-romy6-2012/. It will save me from explaining my grow and being redundant. I am an outdoor grower only from start to finish. I try to keep my aphid /bug colonies to a minimum while batteling the temps as while growing in east central Florida. I plan on growing many other new varieties in a few months so keep an eye out. Until then I wish a great grow for all and look forward to following all of your grows. After fighting off the tequilla hangover this moring I managed to stumble along and pick my first harvest of the new year. Some yellow 7's, yellow scorps, yellw scotch bonnets with a tail, hybrid bhut, not douglah, mystery annums, choc hab , cho bhut bhut and a choc bhut x yellow 7 f3. Winter pods are always a little funky looking IMHO

Happy New Year

You're very welcome Jamie, I hope your enjoying the reds.
 
Nice write up and description of the not yellow Naga, still looks like a mighty mean pepper to me.
 
Have a great week!

 
 Oh it is plenty mean my friend. Don't let the smooth outer walls of the pod fool ya. Happy hump day my brethren
 

yep, they arrived super fast theyre super excited to feel the fresh air and hawaiian sun, and yea 1 didnt make it lol

 
 Sweet. Poor guys wanted to see the islands so much too 
 

Getting a package like that is just like Christmas!!

 
 Christmas In November. Love it. 
 

Nice score with the Super hots. Glad to see they made it through ag at the airport. Jamie's a great grower and extremely generous !

 
 Thank you Greg . Coming from the master that will have me smiling all day 
 

Great updates all around, Jamie.  I really like that giant not-yellow Naga.  What is the lineage of your white 7 Pot?  They look quite a bit like my giant white Habs.  I got the seed from Refining Fire Chiles.  Thinking about getting some white 7 Pot seeds from Jungle Rain for 2014.  I think somebody here is growing both this year, but I forget who.

 
 Thank you sir. The white 7 pot came from my brother Wayright. Not sure where he obtained the original seeds from. Most likely was crossed with a white hab. But has no habby  flavor to me. More like a yellow 7 . It does go white at first but finishes a little on the yellow side.

Yellow is good, too.  Too many of the "yellows" actually look orange to me.  That one looks pretty meaty; I bet it would make a great sauce.

 

[Devv]

Nice looking pods, they look so harmless, but I know better.
 
I brought some supers into work today and shared with a buddy. The Primo and Reaper looked like they were twins. He commented that they look and feel like plastic...yeah until you bite into one  
 
We made it past the hump!

 

[romy6]

Thanks Scotty and Jon. Great pepper for sure.

Bumpity bump bump. Even though I don't want to see your pics. You make me sick with your Florida weather Go Wildcats!

 

[stickman]

+1 bump... lots of nice pics to look at brother Jamie... especially the "Not" Yellow Bhut. It looks a lot like Lourens' King Naga Jalokia from last year. Did yours have an orange citrus flavor like his did?

 

[romy6]

Ha ha Brian. I would say go Gators but not in the mood 
Thanks for the bump 
 
My douglah plant is greening up. It seems to require more ferts than any other of my plants . 
 

 
My yellow primo has a twin. He is kinda small 
 

 
Madballz is super spiked this time around 
 

 
 And a nice little harvest from today 
 

 
Thanks for looking and have a great week .
 
A super  big Salute to all our Veterans out there .

 Thanks for the double bump Rick. The not yellow nagas are tasty. Has a slight citrus flavor but nothing overpowering. The pods are huge .Thank you.
