Finally got me some lights and a heat mat...

The trays are the self-watering Burpee 32-cell type..Hopefully they will maintain more consistent moisture levels.

This is what I sowed:

C. chinense

Been a while. All looks well. Such a great sorry teller through words and photos.

 

[windchicken]

Thanks Denniz! Good to hear from ya!

Great looking starts Gary! Your germ rates look awesome!

 

[windchicken]

Thanks, Shane!

 

[idosimon]

Awesome seedlings, I see that your goats are doing really well!

 

[windchicken]

Thanks Ido! Thanks for stopping by! That hydro Goat of yours is looking sweet! I'm anxious to see it loaded with pods...

The Goats in my germ tray are a slightly different variety from the one you are growing...The seeds I sent you came from pods I grew from seeds from THP member capsidadburn, who got his seeds from THP member JungleRain. It's an insanely productive plant, and the heat, flavor, and aroma pods are wonderful. Below is a pik from my 2012 harvest:

The current batch of Goats are from seeds I received from THP member FadeToBlack, who actually lives in the Bahamas. Below is a photo of the pods from which, I believe, my new Goat seeds came. As you can see, they appear to be the same color, but more elongate in shape. I imagine the flavor and aroma will be much the same:

Nice pods, Gary My goats were shaped like little pumpkins but I sowed it late so didn't harvest that much of it.

 

[Sawyer]

What do those goats taste like?

Beautiful pods Stefan! You are an artisan grower...

What do those goats taste like?

That's a good question, Sawyer...I would describe the aroma as pungent and fruity...The flavor is sweet, much like apricots, then there is the burn, standard Hab strength.

What's remarkable about the Bahamian Goat to me is the "sugary" coating on the inside:

Those are beautiful, and sound like they would make a great sauce (among other uses, I'm sure). I'll have to try some of those sometime.

BTW, I found your other topic on these. Interesting read.

 

[Spicegeist]

Four....So I save seeds from whichever of them produce the desired pods?

Exactly. At this point, each of those plants will be unique and different. So when they start fruiting, only save seed from the plant you like best. Who knows, depending on how they turn out you may want to keep seed from more than one, but definitely keep them separate when you do so you can keep track of what's what (one may be more bonda-like, another more Y7-like etc.).

 

[windchicken]

Cool, thanks! I would have planted a larger population, to increase the odds of getting a true-producing plant....but then I over-extended myself once again before I knew what had happened! Probably out of 4 individuals one of them will be good....

 

[STEVE954]

A "bucket o' bahamian goats"! must be nice Gary!

 

[windchicken]

Thanks Steve! All that was from two container plants! I overwintered both of them, so there will be plenty more as soon as it turns warm...

 

[stc3248]

Nice Gary! Can't wait for some fresh garden pods..must be wonderful to be able to pick some heat right now!

Went back and read everything. Very nice ... enjoyed your food shots thrown in a lot. Show's how you'd use a certain type of pepper.

After reading this your Ja Habanero type sounds good . I enjoy fruity scented peppers. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the Bahamian Goat pepper. I love and hate hearing people describing the taste of pepper . Sometimes they sound just like a pepper I should grow !! But hate that because I can't grow everything.

Peace,
P.Dreadie

Amen to that that's exactly how most growers feel I imagine.
