I'm sitting on my hands waiting for the results!

+1... I have a huge potted Rosemary and a crockpot. If this works out, I'll probably be doing it myself.

Everything looking stellar brother, keep up the good work!

Looking good Ramon. Hope the Mite Death by rosemary works for ya.

Going to try and get some pics of one of my Thai Fires, The leaves are just falling off of it. They arent yellow or anything, they are just falling off. I have a feeling it is the soil as it is the only one that I used dirt from the river instead of topsoil mix that I made. Will let you know so you can take a look and maybe give some insight. Should be posted tomorrow in my glog, maybe tonight if I get a chance on the computer at home LOL.

Lemme first say, Damn you miss a lot in a day... On the rest, those MoA pods look wonderful. Some bonnet shaped, some with no bonnet and pointed, some with tails. IMO thats the way a pepper plant that is true is supposed to grow. Take seeds from the pods you like and try to replicate. True plants represent many variants.. Your on point my good man... Walk good!!!!!!!!

Pia that “replicate” sounds like borg technology to me

Thanks for your positive vibrations ^_^

Unless, of course, we run into more serious problems, like the sun not coming up tomorrow.

Pd: joking aside - even you "sickest" plans look great.

Al how did you know the sun wasn’t coming up, you must be physic

So far all day it’s been thick rain clouds but no real sky water, barely a drizzle rain o_O Gallons of sky water are supposed to show up and hit tomorrow, hopefully not all at once :0 Thank you for complements on sick Ms. Rasta ^_^

Erin thanks, mon I can’t wait to sink my teeth into a Jamaican MoA Scotch Bonnet, soon come I guess. Steve’s been MIA with no PC and I’ve not heard from him since I gave him some FL Everglades Mater starters o_O I’d like to hear first hand on his production, last I heard he was full of dem delicious pods ^_^

Rick fire up dat crock-pot brethren at the mix ratio that I started with it’s not going to do any harm … BAM … BOOM … BAM … BOOM … excuse me the pods are exploding again, hahaha

Thanks for the positive vibe brethren!

Rob, I’m looking forward to seeing your latest pics, I’ll take a look in a few minutes to see if they’re up ^_^ The product “Death by Rosemary” from Kill Dem Mites Industries did not kill the plant so I’ll wait a few days and step up the ratio.

Further observations on Death by Rosemary:

I don’t think a picture is needed yet, she looks the same but the leaves do look better. This could be due to the matte finish, I’m not sure yet.
I’ll let a few days pass and spray her again, hopefully we’ll have some sun by Friday or Saturday to see how that affects the leaves.
I am sure the ratio was too low; I seriously think you can go 2oz. of the rosemary oil per gallon of water and I’ll stick with 1oz of soap because at 2 to 3oz’s of soap you definitely need to rinse it off per my previous experience spraying with soapy water.

Small harvest today, I wasn’t going to take pictures but 3 of the JA Hab pods surprised me with signs of MoA envy and thought it interesting enough to post a few pics. Check out the top 3 in the group shot showing their bottom side.

Thanks all for stopping by and checking the glog, have a great day ^_^

Wow those sure are pretty! So they typically have the Hab look about them?

AND just perfect, they look almost ceramic with that shine.

Great job!

Looking forward to the Death by Rosemary results. It would be great if they kills them stankin leetle bastuurrds

DocNrock · Jun 5, 2013

Gorgeous pods, Ramon! Love the phenotype of those JA Habs.

millworkman · Jun 5, 2013

Shouldn't your name be walkwell?

Devv · Jun 6, 2013

I read this AM about the tropical storms coming to Fla.

Hopefully not to much rain or any damage!

annie57 · Jun 6, 2013

+ 1 on Scott: be safe! We're getting hammered by rain, flooding but no tornado watches.

That aside, SNS 217 is 2% and I agree with 2 oz., Ramon. I think it will work, maybe not as fast as 217 but the price differential, geez! Scott, thank you!

What can I say, Ramon. Geez. MOFO WOW! MoA's thing of absolute beauty, JA Habs look polished, or ceramic, as Scott said, and loving that Choc Scorp! Protect them babies if you can, and most of all, take care of yourself with "Andrea." That goes for Jamie, Bill, everybody down that way and in paths of this!

Very nice micro-harvest Ramon

Scott the JA Habs normally look just like Habs but since they’re from Jamaica I have no doubt they were crossed at one point with Scotch Bonnet. Once in a while they show their true roots by pumping out a few unique pods compared to how they normally look. Forgot to mention in the “Death by Rosemary” oil spray that I’m using hot water with it as that’s the way I normally use neem cause it’s recommended. Don’t know if that makes much of a difference. Have a great one and thanks for great vibe mon!

lol Noah I wish … just when I get thru one issue another pops up, thank God I’m getting pods. Thank you for stopping in and commenting ^_^
BTW WalkGood mon!

Scott the storms north of us down south, I hope Jamie, Bill & Sick make it through ok. Tropical storms aren’t that back down here but they seem to hurt the NE all the way up much more. Hope everyone gets thru it ok, btw it’s stopped raining here but overcast and we’ll probably continue getting some rain on and off …

Thank you Annie, we’ll be safe on dis one ... btw we're now in tropical storm season, some of my most stressed pods come out right before the big one hits

“Ceramic” what the heck ... they are wooden like my other wood carvings, see the early days pic before I started using airbrushing and bondo

If I can successfully pick one pod out of ~~hundreds~~ thousands that you'll produce out of 174 plants in a mix of Habs via a picture over da net I would be a sensi, lol … that might be a tuff one but I’ll try. Pests are pest, they’ll never go away and now I’m thinking there are things we read that just aren’t true. Earlier today I saw a spider mite walking up the side of a bright red cup full of water. I’ve always read they hate water now what’s up with that o_O

Andrea takes her first casualty in South Florida, Ms While Bhut … I’m devastated to say the least

While the net says wind @ 11 MPH I know better it’s gusting there about 25 to 30 knots.

Anyone have second thoughts about removing low branching side stalks shouldn’t, I know I will in da future. I couldn’t bring myself to remove them as they were all growing so symmetrically but I should have seen this coming after loosing one side stalk over a week ago and noted a deep cavity into the main stalk. Then loosing one more with today’s high winds earlier today and another cavity so close to the existing one was all the main could take ... snap and the main full of pods fell to da ground :/ I've temporarily relocated the ones I can but not the JA Habs or MoAs, while I’m confidant this shouldn’t happen to any of my JA Habs, I don’t know about the MoAs.

She still has 2 of the four side stalks but it’s not the same. They're only holding 1 pod and 3 or 4 flowers ... compared to the main was full of pods setting :/

She was loaded with flowers and setting pods too small to save, these are the only viable pods :/

Al-from-Chile · Jun 6, 2013

down here they say "al mal tiempo - buena cara" ...

so, you need to clone the white bhut :-)

cheers, Al

pd: I dropped a crate with some 64 cells of pasiflora today (and I dont have the weather to blame

) ... well sped up some plans and potted up whatever I found on the floor

Thanks for the good cheer Al, sorry to hear about your pasiflora drop :/

Clone it Ramon, you pulled the pods now stick that thing into some dirt and see if it'll start growing some roots.

koskorgul · Jun 6, 2013

Bows head, taps playing in background.
She was a good plant, a healthy plant till that bitch Andrea came out of the sea.
She will be missed, She was a lvoing, caring soul that gave back to those that looked after her.
May she rest in peace, or cloned so her offspring can continue her legacy
amen

Sorry to hear about your loss brother.

+1 to the Bill! Could clone!!! Am sorry, Ramon, but still could go for it.

Bill great minds think alike … I did just that right after the pictures. She was too big to try in water and I didn’t want to cut her back. Now it’s a wait and see game …

Rob that’s funny, part of me wanted to bust out laughing while I was reading it and the other part is sad, thanks for the “taps” brethren.

Believe it or not I’ve now got 3 going, the first side branch started a few days ago and I posted a pic back a few pages. 2 in water and one in pot with good soil and additives, I can only hope now …

Thanks guys/girl ... you are all the greatest!

Eep! We've all been there with wind damage brother, and we're all pullin' for ya.
