Tiny hab ??

jlawrence · Jan 14, 2016

Was just tidying my chilli tent ready to start propagating this seasons plants. Found 4 of these tiny babies hidden on a plant.
The plant was labeled as Hab, but they are seriously small. Shown in the pic is my little finger for a size comparison.
They certainly pack a punch, anyone any idea what they might be.

My habs always put out a ton of mini fruit, even smaller than that one, at the end of season. I think its the cold. Maybe it restricts vascular growth resulting in stunted fruit.

Probably because it's winter. I know it isn't the cold, because mine are inside where it's warm.

I wonder if you could bonsai your plants to get such cute little habs all year.

Smallest Habs. I grew were Yellow.
XLNT taste and heat.
Put out a TON of pods too!

As they were in a tent (indoors) they should have been totally unaware of what season it is.
They certainly seem a lot hotter than any habs I've had in the past. Think I'll separate this plant and keep it going.

I get runted pods on most my indoor plants. It's more likely a issue of restrictive pot size and lighting.

so your saying the temp is constant throughout the year with no variance night or day? wish i could pull that off, even my house gets colder at night.

My habs also put a lot of smaller pods in the off season. Even though they are kept indoors all year, always seems to throw more small pods in winter.

Had some "Bhut Copenhagen" that were half the size of this, but never think you could eat them fresh

Not a constant temp but the tent isnt allowed to drop below 16 deg c.
i'm wondering if i mislabeled it. There's a couple of them look like they've got stingers on the bottom, but they've not got what I think of as the 'knarly' scorpion look deffinitely more the smooth shiney hab look.
They'll be nice for cooking with (I think), the tiniest sliver sent me running to the fridge for the milk - it was a bit early to hit the vodka LOL.
