overwintering Winter-Summer in OZ "Comparison" / Aussie Blabberers

[Nova]

Nope these look entirely different. More stout, think of a red bonda ma jaqcue without the wrinkles. Pretty much.

 

[Wildfire Chilli Australia]

ok. Would've been cool if they were white

 

[Nova]

Ummmm, or Black!

 

[Dazastar]

oh my winter babies are already starting to imerge....I'm so proud, havent thought of names for them yet.

 

[Micca302]

The Aji Blanco Cristal looks pretty cool. Isn't it a pretty mild Baccatum?
Personally a fan of the Chinenses myself but maybe one day i'll find some room for a couple.

Hey Candice no probs with the Aji Cajamarca, I brought the seeds from Ajijoe. The Aji Cajamarca is a Baccatum which I was trying to track down Cajamarca the Chinense version.
Maybe just maybe I am onto the Chinense version, we'll see.

Nice to see some heads popping up there Dazastar

Hey micca the blanco i tried was pretty mild but it tasted chinense like. Very juicy crunchy pod that left me wanting more.

I was given a pod for seed but in my drunken stupid head state forgot to take it home!
Lucky they only live ten minutes away

Yeah definately done that before

[Wildfire Chilli Australia]

Yeah I was after the chinense Cajamarca. Actually thanks for the offer but found somewhere to order them which I was going to do before and then forgot about.
I know I have left pods behind or lost them after a few drinks, a few times at yours Micca!

Sure. Maybe I can get some seed from you then

Hey you should get pretty good germination from those Purple Bhut seeds. Managed to get 4 out of 6 to pop their heads so far.
Will be interesting growing this one.

Nice one Dazza

Purple Bhuts that sounds cool as, bit freaky but super cool.


Bishops Crown has just sprouted, getting on a bit of a roll now

[Micca302]

Hey guys i have been reading up on air pruning pots but can't seem to find a supplier in OZ. Anyone have any ideas where i may get one of these fantastic containers?

Oh crap now iv'e got something else to look into . It definately looks excellent and can't see why it wouldn't work for Chilli's, seeing they are like a Tree sometimes!

Well here ya go I have found this Aussie seller of something called Rocket Pot Rocket Pots

And this PDF on some trials
tree trials

The Pots didn't seem too expensive, but I am still having a look through at what you would need.

Micca

 

[JoeyK]

That looks totally mental, love to give it a go though

 

[Micca302]

Yeah definately, just gotta look into the cost a bit more.

Micca

 

[Nova]

Cheers micca, looking at the price list it appears that an 18 litre one goes for just over $8. Thing is that from what i can figure out the minimum order is 50 units. I could most probably live with the cost of 25 at around $200. Need to find someone to go halvies in a couple of months!
I reckon they would work absolutely awesometown!

Edit: look what i found on their site. Could try contacting these guys for smaller amounts i suppose.

Yeah thought you might like the link Nova. I was also looking at the 1.5Ltr ones too for growing seedlings which worked out to be $1.45ea x 100 units= $145 Buckaroonies. At least your seedlings would get a great start!
With the 8Ltr jobbies definitely more expensive at $282 ($5.64 x 50 units) but might be worth it seeing hardwares etc charge a fortune already just for average plastic ones!

Maybe we should do a Rocket Pot Air Pruning Trial

Micca

 

[Nova]

I reckon we should, i am so going to order some little ones soon.
