Wow, do you even have space too walk in there Plants look great, Fernando! Like the rest I'm curious about the Jalabanero also, how will it taste

Stefan Thanks yea the drip has been a help I am considering trying to turn the trinidad varities in to trees to see if I can make it into a true jungle. I tried one of the baby pods not alot of flavor habanero eat stayed for about 5 to 10 minutes then slowing died down hopefully I can get them to their true size like SS, but we will see.

No problem Fernando, I completly understand how things get someitmes. Just trying to follow all of the Glogs I have come to enjoy and glean information from is almost a 40 hour a week job in itself. Plants are really looking great. Your drip system is doing right by ya.

Have a great week
Bill

Thanks Billyea I tried to keep up but if you miss one day a glog can fall back three pages because of people awesome poddage or information. Yea the drip has been a great investment and help through the watering espeically since it has become a hassle to each corner without the fear of falling on top of a plant.

Wow Fernandoooooooooooooooooooooooooo! That is an amazing turn around in one month. Plants are loving that socal weather.

Nice work

Thanks Jamie yea looking back at pictures especially the pimenta de neyde that was only about 8 inchs tall just two months ago into what it is now is just amazing I can not wait to try the pods hopefully the flavor is as Omri expressed them to be last year on another thread, but this plant will be the mother of a few experiments I am working on with most of these varieties.

Hey everybody have to apologize for hoarding this mini harvest pods I did one Jalabanero the other day nice heat level more habaneroish and no flavor not sure if that is from the inconsistency of watering, so I will have to try this one again to give a better review.
2 Tobango Scotch Bonnets (Pepperlover great person and business to support) and 3 Jalabanero

Sorry about the glare on this picture

Thanks again for stopping by

DocNrock · Jul 10, 2012

its so fun to grow plants starting from seed you see them from being seeds to a fully grown monsters,i got a long way with my carving skill not good enough and were on our last week for that class and next is my HOT1 kitchen with a german chef and his a ex german army also lol, freaking crazy sucka

and nice pods i hope my new babies will do good this time

SocalChilehead · Jul 11, 2012

Thanks guys
Shane I ate a slice of one of the tobango SB sweet flavor with mild heat, but I think I wont get a true level of heat and flavor on the pods until this next harvest when the drip system was installed. I can not wait to get my face smash in by the heat with most of these serial killers.
Pinoy good luck with with your class what you have presented here has been amazing. It is thrilling to watch them transform especially when they surpass your expectations. Once they start getting those teas they will become monsters good luck.
Thanks again everyone for stopping by and I hope you are enjoying it

Hey Fernando! Looking great! Think I spooked you a bit with the spider pics...sorry. Anyway everything looks amazing and is loaded with flowers and pods! :dance:

The pic limit is 10...so you could actually post a couple more per post, but it is still a PAIN!

meatfreak · Jul 14, 2012

Looking great Fernando! Not a big fan of the pic limit either but... yeah not a fan. Anyway that "Mystery Aji Joe flower and pod" looks a lot like I got growing here. Peeps said that it's a CAP1546 but the pods on mine weren't erected and that's the same with your plant. How does it taste and which color phases goes it through?

megahot · Jul 14, 2012

Awesome looking pods bud!!! Your plants are kicking some ass!!! Now thats the way its done, awesome job bro!!!

romy6 · Jul 14, 2012

Looking good Fernando. Gonna need a big freezer soon :onfire:

Lol nah you didn't spook me I have been spooked about spiders for a long time now I usually turn the other way when I see spiders that that are way to big for my comfort level. Yea I think my heavy harvest will be late season which will awesome that means less risk of sunburned peppers.

Yea Stephan I think it was your growlog from CG that I originally saw the picture and asked Joe about, but he wasn't sure. I also found Vlad that had a CAP 1546 that was completely different from what we both had. I am just going to keep it Aji Joe mystery it much similar to a thai in heat and flavor, but looking to being one heavy producer. Which would be awesome for siranchi or powder.

Thanks Mega yea plus I have it setup I think where I wouldn't need to overwinter and have an earlier production next year and maybe some TS or 7 pod trees especially when I start adding rabbit poo (thanks AJ for the info).

Hopefully, but the goal is to start making some powders and there are few members here that wouldn't mind helping me take care of a few pods. I was also planning on going to a few resturants and seeing if they would be interested in a few pods. O I have two of the seeds that you sent have sprouted and moved to party cups then will they will be moved into a 25 gallon tube similar to AJ just square style. Thanks again

Thanks everyone stopping by and hope you are enjoying the pics

stickman · Jul 14, 2012

Yup, definitely enjoying the pics. Looks like you may be seriously into harvesting chiles on your break between terms at school!
