Spicegeist 2016 (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Yes, I said I was going to scale back to maybe even nothing.  But, this is just not going to happen.  I love peppers, love growing them, watching other people grow them, developing new crosses, eating them, talking about them, and yes, I even enjoy some drama from time to time

Here's your bump Charles, killer looking bhuts.

Thanks for the bhut pr0n Charles, you make my day
 
Your Bhut is the same as "Red Bhut #5" i've received? Looks amazing.
Yellow Surprise is still behind but progressing nicely with warmer temps, i hope to obtain some pod by fall!

Fantastic looking pod's Charles. You are the Bhut Guru for sure. Your precious looks stellar. I need to plant some Bhut next year.

 

[Ozzy2001]

Great looking pods! Looks like some gnarly Bhuts coming soon.

 

[stickman]

You do good work with those Bhuts Charles... always a pleasure to check out your pics of them. IDK what's up with my Naga King plants this year... they must have crossed with something else because they don't have the ghostly green color they had when I first planted them. The Bhut plants I bought at a local nursery have it. It'll be interesting to see how they compare in taste when they finally ripen up. Not long now for the Bhuts... some of the pods are about 5 inches long and really gnarly.

They still might be interesting even though they crossed.  I have Naga King seed I know is pure... I can send you some for next year's grow.

Man those pods are looking fantastic!

 

[Spicegeist]

I've seen other people get pods like this, but this is my first freaky mutant bhut pod.  Same pod, different angles:

Haha, thanks MW.  I'll save the seed from this particular pod in case anyone wants to increase their chances of getting freaky pods... that is if this is a genetic trait... it may not be, I really have no idea.

Assam Bhut entering orange phase... soon it will turn red...

 

[Spicegeist]

I've been seeing color here and there.

Impact Bhut, just a nice bhut-type chili pepper really:

 
Calling it My Bhut, I really like the shape of these pods:

 

[Genetikx]

I'd try and grow that freak bhut if there's a seed or two left over. What's it look like now?

You got a couple freaky things going on, weird on the double CGN. Great grow my friend!

Sure, let's see how many seeds it give me when the time comes.  The CGN and the Donne Sali tend to put out pods like that.  The CGN is from the Northern Mariana Islands... perhaps they are 'special' in more ways than one?

Very nice.

Thanks!  I'd be very surprised if they turn out to be anything other than a beautiful red...

Thanks!  The plant is one of my most robust and sturdiest of 2016.  I grew this primarily to get more seed... I'd love to get this out to others to grow, let me know if you want to grow it next year.

 

[FreeportBum]

Pods look great, keep up the good work.
