chinense What Naga's are you growing in 2023 ......?

Hi Guy's

Who's growing Naga's this year ? And what varieties ?

Last season for the first time I grew Dorset Naga and Bengle Naga both from seaspring seeds (Dorset uk) I was greatly impressed by both I found the Bengle super fruity :halo: but love both !

My 2023 Naga grow list :

Dorset Naga (over wintered)
Dorset Naga (self saved seed)
Bengle Naga
Black king Naga
Burmese Naga

I might add more Naga in 2024 .......depends how 2023 goes suggestions welcome ๐Ÿค” what's your favourite?

Well, shoot. I put some Dorset Naga to germinate recently due in no small part to your recent posts :) I got seeds from seaspring seeds years back after reading an article about how he'd developed it for better success in a climate similar to my own. It's done very well for me when I've grown it, which I haven't done for several years. My seeds were older - and fewer - than I'd thought, so I planted some seeds for a favorite red bhut jolokiaat too in case the DN seeds let me down.
 
The only "pure" Ghost-type of peppers I'm growing this year are Bih Jolokia caramel and Bih Jolokia black. The caramel is very productive and makes a delicous powder. The black should be similar according to Justin at WHP.

DN also did well in my tropical climate.

Bih caramel was very productive here...
 
Hi Guy's

I love Naga's they are the "first" super hot I've grown they seem vigorous, prolific and delicious ๐Ÿ˜‹

However I've never grown any other super hot although this year I've got 7 pot Jonah and 7 pot Douglah and Fatalii gourmet jigsaw.......it will be interesting to compare which are the most productive and least hassle .......๐Ÿค” we Iive and hopefully learn......

At present I'm seeing it hard to look past Naga's if ones wants to grow productive superhots ๐Ÿ˜Ž but like I've already said i have no other experience to judge against..........

Here's my current 2023 Naga's in my Scottish greenhouse..............

Burmese Naga is the baby of the group in 1/2 litre pot I'm confident this little fella will catch up ๐Ÿคž

How your Naga's doing ?

I've got 3 Naganeros on the go and a chocolate Naga - first time growing them and I'm really pleased with how they're doing
My Bengal Naga is a no show but I may have another go at it soon.
 
I wanted to include a โ€œstandardโ€ Bhรผt Jolokia and wound up choosing โ€œBhut Jolokia Strain IIโ€, which is described as an improved version of the variety tested and spread by the CPI.

I was not going to grow a "regular" ghost this year, but I changed my mind and germinated the same variety. Germination is sub-par so far (1/4), but they still have time.

Hi

I must say lve been "very" impressed by the Burmese Naga very late sown for me but really caught up decent sized pod's in a 5 litre pot.

Just waiting on ripe fruit to try ๐Ÿค” ๐Ÿคž

Oh can't wait........pretty prolific too I can only imagine how it would do sown earlier and in kratky hydroponics ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž

Alot of potential in this variety..........
