Looking Good Rex!

 

[Student of Spice]

Nice set up, you have quite a few nice over wintered plants there. That mystery pepper has quite a few different pepper traits in it. I can see some resemblance of a cardi scorpion or something with some bhut in it perhaps?

 

[mpicante]

Super super cool.....

 

[tctenten]

Nice start. Good luck.

 

[sirex]

Yeah that one set bhut type pods, and a spitting image Butch T ?!?! Weird huh?

 

[Trident chilli]

Nice Rex all the best for this season ... just one question what are those that look like potatoes in water with cocktail sticks on the windowsill behind the Red Habanero ....

 

[sirex]

Experiment for my kids with their Nanny.

Potatoes. IDK what they're doing but I let em.

Until next time.......

 

[sirex]

Little Lilac Bell getting its first bud
 
 

 
 
Here is the Lilac Bell. Going to keep it small and just get a pepper or two. It's for the kids to look at, not really mass production.
 
 

 
 
 
Trinidad Perfume
 
 
 

 
 
 
Most of you probably haven't heard of this but here is a pic of a Valencia Market pod. I thought it was a Venezuelan Tiger at first until I was corrected. Awesome tasting pod with not much heat. Sorry about the potato quality of this pic.
 
 

 
 
 
 
From a plant that throws off straight Butch T pheno's to gnarly Bhut pheno's I present........?????????????????
 
 
 
 
 

 

[sirex]

95% of nodes have pods.  Brazilian Starfish

Healthy and happy.
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
Everyone is now outside of the little greenhouse/shadehouse. They were in there to get some good growth and sun protection.

I still can't believe how clean your plants look. The next time I hear someone say, "I don't have room for a garden," I'm totally referring them to you. Really impressive what you're able to accomplish between work and kids in a comparatively small space.
 
I think Ron hit the nail on the head with the CARDI Scorpion comment. They've never made the most uniform of pods for me, anyway. Ten bucks says it ripens to either red or yellow, and I'm betting red.

 

[sirex]

Thanks Mike. You've seen the space I'm working with. It iisn't easy, but it's definitely doable. More so if I dwindled down to like ~5 varieties. Yeah right.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW Someone's blushing
 
 
 
 
 

 

[Wicked Mike]

I'll believe that one when I see it.

Very nice grow. Plants are looking very healthy. Great looking pod's.

I caught one variety that raised my brows, Lemon Drop x Bhut. Now that sounds tasty.
