Devv · Oct 8, 2016

A great year John!

I like seeing all those pods!

And may the rest ripen!

PaulG · Oct 9, 2016

Nice haul, John - and still pods on the plants!
Hope the weather holds for you.

Thank you Devv I have my fingers crossed for no frost .... night time temperatures are low but manageable .....

Paul just been down the poly tunnel ... a few pods I have not shown before ... thanks for looking in

Good to hear from you and thank you .... I have been lucky this season just suffering at the moment with the odd chilli maggot and moisture splitting on mature pods which is more annoying than anything else

Trident chilli · Oct 21, 2016

Some I picked earlier in the week and from the poly tunnel today .....

Top - DWB (Doctors without Borders) Columbian Red ... sorry Sandra I have turned your pod pink rather than red
Obeah .... Cappuccino SB ..... Chocolate SB x Black Naga (Concorde Naga)
SBJB .... immature SB7J .... MoA Red
Yellow Primo x NagaBon .... Yellow SB7J ( thanks jamey work in progress )
Trinidad SB x 7pot

My IPad does not give these pods justice .... Chiliriot's PDN x SB7J is colour sequence from purple to blood red

PaulG · Oct 21, 2016

The PDN x SBJ7 has a color sequence almost identical to
the Hybrid BJ I've got, which I think was pollinated by the
PDN x Bonda. Interesting.

John great pods what are your thoughts on the moa red ?

The most prolific and tallest of my plants ... seed from Chiliriot planted in a 11ltr container ... loves the sun all the pods start purple but as they mature they eventually turn blood red but still have a dark shadowing which can be seen ... not strictly a bonnet but one for you I feel

A big thank you to you Jason as you sourced the seed ... as you can see true to Pheno although a little Missouri heat and humidity might have enlarged them ...

Glad to have helped hope the flavor is as good as they look.
Is the stuffing scotch bonnet going to make it?
I know that they was slow for me & had to be pulled last season.

Trident chilli · Nov 2, 2016

Plantguy76 · Nov 2, 2016

John lovely pods I have tried the Aji Jobito x BBG7 Yellow & Justin is going to send the red I noticed yours are chocolate what do you thinlk of them?
I think someone should cross a Aji Jobitio with a bonnet the Aji Jobitio x BBG7 have wonderful flavor

Devv · Nov 2, 2016

Very well done!

Thanks Jason seed was from Sandra .. really surprised it did well for me and I managed to get some reasonably sized pods ... great taste and with the BBG an inject of heat but not over bearing ... all in the dehydrator .. your Senegal I managed to get out of the poly tunnel before last night's frost so they are colouring up on the windowsill

Thanks Scott overall it's been a good season - pest free although another few weeks of sun and higher temperatures would have enhanced the grow. Saraga SB and PDN x SB7J being the most prolific ... shape and taste wise it was hard to pick the best from P. Dreadie, Schneider Farm and Beth Boyd's ... the next debate will be is there any difference between Allen M Boatman's TJSB ( True Jamaican Scotch Bonnet) and Foodarama Yellow ...

Trident chilli · Nov 5, 2016

So as the outside season closes I look towards the three plants I have in the grow tent upstairs in the spare bedroom ... I received some Matthew Arthur - SBN ( Sunny Border Nurseries ) Chocolate and Red from Superhot Sim via FB from KD ... I have to say thanks to both as personally I have not grown a better soft skinned chocolate variety than this. I am unsure of its parentage but it's a looky likey SB ... Matthew is always vague to his creations but if you know him and speaking with him I would love to know if this is or has a little bit of bonnet

SBN Red variety

Plantguy76 · Nov 5, 2016

I am going to grow buckeye peppers farmer market scotch bonnet next year if germination goes well John.
I think that would be interesting to compare that one as well.
I also saved Senegal Long seed

Trident chilli · Nov 5, 2016

Finally from indoors Dennish's Foodrama Yellow x Fatalii ... I haven't been photogenic I have just photographed the pods against the grow tent back drop ...

Plantguy76 · Nov 6, 2016

That sbn red kinda reminds me of the moa red with the pheno I liked wonder if there some seven pot varitey in the mix?

Mitzi · Nov 6, 2016

I have read this glog from the beginning today and really enjoyed it. Very inspirational to a novice. Can I ask about the grow tents - did they come with lighting or did you build that yourself? Thanks.
