SG's 2012

Since late last year I've been starting seedlings in waves because of limited space and other constraints. So I have a good number of plants in varying stages of growth, with some trying to flower too. The plants are looking good and I am poised to have some tremendous harvests. Last year I only grew a fraction of the what I am attempting this year and even then I had a hard time keeping up with the harvests. I am sure I will go crazy with all the peppers this year.

Here is the where most of the plants start out:

I cut open a few morugas today to throw on the dehydrator. A few looked close to that, but not quite like that one. I have yellow brains from pepperlover that went red. Awesome smell & taste. Completely different from the morugas. Not even close. Do you notice the same thing with the brains you have? Mine have a much more floral smell.
Nice close ups!

Physically the brain strains were more compact and consistent in shape, the ts morouga had more of a puffy kind of appearance, were larger and displayed more pod variation. I haven't had a brain strain in a little while, but from what I remember they had more of a bite to their aroma... but maybe I just got used to them so it doesn't strike me as strong anymore...

One of my Fatalii x Choco Bhut F2 turned out brown, here it is all the way on the right, next to two Choco Bhuts:

Up close:

It is hot, but not as hot as the Choco Bhut... I would say not really a "super" hot. Let me know if you want seeds before I toss it...

And here's how this is turning out:

Cool "conjoined twin." Good eye for picking up the variation in the original flower.

This pod is from a plant I've nicknamed Purple Leaf, (it's probably an F1 of an accidental 7 Pot Brown Bonnet Shaped x Pimenta Tiger):

Thanks gents. I'm planning on growing a few more Choco Bhuts than I did this year, this variety is really one of my favorites.

Agreed. My choc bhuts are really good too. I struggled getting them to germ, so only have two full size plants. Going for six next season. I have determined i like most browns. But they are definitely one of my favs.
Your fatalii x choc bhut cross looks very fatalii like inside. Thats quite interesting. Does it have the choc bhut's flavor?
I thought that double bloom was cool. Thanks for sharing the pods from it.
take care

Thanks for posting the progress of the siamese pube. That flower was incredible.

Inside, I think it tastes like strawberry:

Let me know if you want these F2 seeds, I'm not really interesting in growing them out myself.
