What is a P Dreadie? Looks like a brain strain bonnet. Looks mean.[/quote

Hopefully I can answer your question as I recently asked the same to " P Dreadie"... real name Erin. As I understand when Erin first joined THP a guy from Florida called Tony ( unfortunately no longer with us) had some Scotch Bonnets although he never disclosed their source. He chose the best pods and labelled them as Scotch Bonnet "culled"

Erin and I both agree that the termination "culled" means something different depending on where you live .... Erin changed the name culled to "select"!which I am sure Tony meant in the first place ... P Dreadie Select is as you can see by those photography's a truly special bonnet and deserves all the praise this is a bonnet we should all be growing along side the MoA ... thank you Erin for your input

Very cool. If they turn out, I'd love to get some of those seeds next season along with the Red MOA. What's the flavor and heat like on that Dreadie?

Weather for a change in England has greatly improved this week and I have managed to pot on and harden off two SB7J and a Trinidad SB x 7 Pot in their 11ltr pots

UBSC - Brown, Borg 9, Reimer SB Yellow and NagaBon to follow suit although UBSC and Borg will go into 18ltr pots

Elysium Oxide Rust and Mustard

A lot of talk regarding "Yaki Brown" new to me this season so I cannot comment on heat/taste .. colour of leaf very similar to Pink Tiger - purple traits although my front plant shows no purple colour

Every time I see an update, I am blown away by how healthy your plants are. Nice work Trident!

You must be feeding those things nuclear runoff lol. Those plants are just crazy big and healthy. Some people have got a green thumb but your whole arm must be green.

The plants are potted in a Dutch organic soil called "BioBizz" it has nutrients within the mixture which last for a couple of weeks ... since then I have been using their "Bio-Grow" which if I am reading it right contains organic sugar beat extracts and vitamin B1 B2 C and E ... however this is soon to change as I have been chosen by a Hydroponic company to test a development formulation of SHOGUN Terra Grow/Bloom a new soil nutrient

I have been really turned on to scotch bonnets this year. Definitely adding some variety for next time around. The user chocolatescotchbonnet was gracious enough to send me some seeds of his namesake which I have going now. Really looking forward to following your grow.

Plants look fantastic. I was wondering if you put them in a greenhouse? Being so far south I didn't know if it was needed. I also was wondering if you have ever seen been to the Eden Project in Cornwell? I would like to visit someday. My girlfriend is from Lincolnshire.

PaulS · May 6, 2015

Your plants still looking great. I'm using Bio-Grow now!

The Eden Project is a very special place. I've been a couple of times, they had an orange hab plant(in the dome on the left in your pic) It was like a big bush

The dome on the left is a tropical climate 25c very humid. The dome on the right is mediterranean climate.
