Hi All,
Does anyone here grow peppers like Bhut/bih Jolokia, Dorset naga, Habanero Red savina, DHF3.
I would like to get more information on growing these varieties. And i can sure use your help and any information about these species is appreciated.
Many thanks in advance!

I'm growing Naga for a first time and I have to say that this summer was a bad naga summer... :wink:
Here's my first ever ripened naga pod:

So, don't ask me any growing tips about naga... :wink:
I've also grown Dutch-Habanero f3 this summer. It has produced plenty of orange, long habanero-shaped pods with a strong c. chinense aroma and plenty of heat.
Both plant's are growing in the same greenhouse. I use a peat-based soil and BioBizz fertilizers.
Hi Wille,
I hope my naga gets larger then that :? . I am growing them indoors under CFL. Here where i live we had a bad summer too. April/Mei was wonderfull with high temperatures and lots of growth.
I was growing cayenne outdoors and the pods ripened for at least 90-95%. So they where doing great. My next quest is to get pods of the species i mentioned before, incl the DHF3. Any good info about this breed?
Regards,
lee
Hi
What is DHF3? I have grown those you mentioned and they did not seem any more difficult to grow than other peppers.
These are from last year

We are having a cooler than normal summer too and most of my peppers this year are far behind and I expect I will be ripening many inside this fall. I have ripe pods from an over wintered Bih Jolokia

Hi John,
Great looking pods, i hope i can grow them inside like that.
DHF3 is a Dutch Habanero F3 this is a third generation crossbreed between a dutch pepper and a habanero breeded by Fatalii! I got some seeds from that plant and i am growing them indoors under CFL. So far there doing great and my plants produce a lot of leaves.
Do you have pictures of your plants, I would love to see them
Here a picture of my cayenne pods that i have grown outdoors.

Hi Lee
I don't take as many plant pictures as I should and have none of those from last year. These are pictures I took this morning
This is an overwintered Bih Jolokia

And Trinidad Scorpion from two sources--both almost a meter high

Nice overwintered bhut.
What size containers do you grow in?
lee
Mostly 12" pots
Hey John,
You live in Main, whats the weather like overthere
lee
Nice for me not so nice for my peppers right now--too cool . We have last frost end of May and first fall frost in September

Ooh :( , already thought that because when i hear Main i think cold. Dont know much about Main but that i recalled.
Hard for your chilli's though, are you using any artificial light?
lee
How did you grow that Bhut with that kind of weather? Very nice
The Bhut was over wintered inside so had a big head start. My regular plants I start in April and grow under regular fluorescents until I put them outside in mid June. Some don't ripen in time and I bring the plants inside to finish ripening.
Spare bedroom in spring

That looks very nice John, you must definitely be a chilihead like me.
I grow under CFL, the long ones (PLL), first time. And so far its going great.
Here some pics of my setup, suited for 8 plants on max. 4 liter containers. These pics. where made last week.

:D :D
nice pictures

looks high tech. Do you not grow any outside?
I am growing ouside, at least untill this season ends. I already harvested 90-95 % of the pods. So my outside season will slowly come to an end. Thats the main reason why i started inside.
