Trident's "It's all about the Bonnet" 2015

Plantguy76 · Jun 21, 2015

Been trying to figure out what pheno I will get on my SB7J'S form looking at your picks the nearest one is the mushroom pheno but there still different .
The middle one is a runt but is slowly starting to grow it seems like its growth habitat is going to be different.
Your plants are beautiful can't wait to see pods.

Great looking plants, Scotch Bonnets are definitely worth a try in a life. And you are doing a really good job in growing them, congratulations!

Jason last season when I grew the SB7J off the single plant it gave me both variations of shape .... grass hut and mushroom. I saved seed from both and have grown them out this year. Sent to me last season was a packet that just said "Atomic SB" these produced three poor pods. I scoured the net looking for anything in reference to Atomic and eventually found a post by Dulac a forum member who named his mushroom shaped pods Atomic

I may well have some of his original seed but this season's Atomic plant is producing I believe those shaped pods. Although tiddlers at the moment

Thank you personally I believe for taste and flavour you can't beat the Scotch Bonnet. I just find it fascinating that there are so many varieties and my goal is to try and grow them all

thank you for looking ... the weather in the UK has greatly improved over the last week and the temperatures are again set to rise this week as the hot air arrives from Spain. Almost all have set their flowers except for my stubborn superhots Borg and Chocolate Borg.

Looking good dude.
I managed to avoid sunburn this year, I learnt my lesson last year, but as you said when the english sun shows its face its hard to resist getting the plants out. They are saying its gonna be 30c some time next week!

Whats your favorite SB for flavor? Not heat but a varity you could just eat on its own?

Paul it has to be the "MoA Yellow" wonderful fruity flavour with a great aroma ... yes we certainly need this spell of good weather to continue most of the sunburnt leaves have fallen my poor "Pink Tiger" still has variegated leaves with white blotches ... hey maybe the stress will produce those elusive stripes

Sounds good, I might have to buy a few seeds from you for next year.
I found that all my Neyde crosses, p.tiger etc, were the most hardy, there leaves didnt curl at all and they didnt get sun burn at all. Strange
Are you going to any local chilli festivals this summer?

romy6 · Jun 30, 2015

Everything looks splendid John . Keep up the good work

Grow tent to full sun didn't work ... school boy error on my front .. should have known better .. local festivals I normally give a miss as the plants for sale are at an astronomical price ... West Dean 7-9th August I always attend one of the biggest in the UK

Thanks Jamie .. my "Atomic SB" has the right squashed pod shape so fingers crossed it produces some good looking and tasty pods

Pepper-Guru · Jun 30, 2015

anything to full sun never works out well! ha, i seem to almost forget that every single year! always trying to bring delicate seedlings out under the sun and on day one im always like "oh yeah duh" then i fashion some sort of diffuse or partial shade above them

KiNGDeNNiZ · Jul 2, 2015

Things look great..so far 2 of my moa reds are what it's suppose to be m.1 of them is giving me chocolate pods (I didn't show anything chocolate ) the second is a elongated pods. As for the color nor sure yet... BTW what's your fb name

Thank you Jason to be honest I have been lucky this season with pests my only downfall was introducing plants from the grow tent to early to full sun. Note to self - partial shade required

Florisa I have to thank the quality of the seed and as most has come from the States it's a big thank you to those that have helped me with my Scotch Bonnet journey

Nicolau slight disappointment in colour ... last season I grew perfect Yellow these seem to have an Orange tint however a truely great variety in both taste and heat

Plantguy76 · Jul 14, 2015

Hey John today I was looking at my moa bonnet plants on one plant I seen that one is almost ripe
Well I looked at this one other plant & I got my first ripe pod & it was peach rough with bumps.
I don't know if this is a natural variant or some accidental cross with something of Judy's
I seem to remember you mentioning that this happened to someone you know & that you are growing that variant ?

Peach rough with bumps ... that sounds great .. I am growing P. Dreadie however I do not have his select bonnets a picture is posted earlier in my glog of his select pod like yours bumps and spikes. I also grew a Trenton Farmers Market which also was spiked ... another new variety ... please save me some seed
Small harvest of tiddlers to encourage the others to push on growth

One o'clock- NeBru7 not as yellow as I wanted
Four o'clock- PIC1 Greg Chicargo Yellow Selects
Seven o'clock- Free Port Orange
Nine o'clock- Atomic SB disappointed like romy6 that these are a yellow variation

jcw10tc · Jul 16, 2015

Nice looking pods. Let me know what you think of Nebru 7. Wanted to grow that one this year, sure looked good. Really favor the yellows these days. That Orange one looks nice also. Is this the expected size or they just early pods?
