And its growing two more branches in the middle (you cant see that on the pictures). The leaves are about 25cm. I'm eager to see what happens when they get more direct sunlight. Bolivian rainbows leaves have turned really dark now.

Some of the plants have encountered problems. Bhut Jolokia, my favourite son, has some pale leaves. I suspect that they have been burnt in the sun. Some of the leaves have started to dry up. Bolivian Rainbow has turned black in the sun and looks quite impressive that way.

Some of the plants just refuse to grow. I dont know if they have partially died or if they're just stubborn.

The Red Habanero insists to be a small plant:


The Bonsai-like appearance of Short Yellow Tabasco. A Mystical event decapitated the plant and it lost one of the top branches. Also the water level meter got broken a bit due to the incident. I Suspect a chair fell on it in the wind. Luckily it didnt damage any of the good plants.

[Saudijoe]

Does anyone know what are those damages in my Bhut Jolokia? Hope its not a plant disease..

Hi! That's just heat burns. Don't worry.
BTW, I'd say that yer BR is Nigerian Rainbow As beautiful as african girls are Glossy, blacky and graceful

[Saudijoe]

Maybe i took cloth off the plants too early? Well, good to hear its not a disease.

Nigerian Rainbow? Havent heard of that? Is that some kind of variety of bolivian then? The leaves used to be green for many months until they met the sun. The new leaves it makes start off green as well, but blacken quite fast.

That's just a joke

Of course.. Lack of sleep seems to have made me stupid

[Jah]

Be careful with that. That may cause making a salad of Habaneros. Eating it will lead to drop one of your eyes out. The one growing extremal peppers should be very-very careful about his mental condition.

[Fatalii]

Those burn marks really indicate you took the shading off way too early!

The color of the BR shows that they get PLENTY of sun... that's very good for the harvest you will get!

[Chilicutter]

That BR is really STUNNING

A setback for growing. I had to move the chilis back indoors because of the repair works on the balcony. im also leaving to tour the europe for 1,5 weeks and the watering is left to my brand new ex-girlfriend who is moving out of the apartment.. Im terrified to see what is the chili survival rate when i come back...

[Endalion]

Today i tested the recipe. Tasted very good even thou i didnt have any jalapenos. I cheated and bouhgt Red Serenades from a grocery store nearby. I also skipped the fridge part and didn't  precook the bacon either.

I decided to do the same, with blue cheese used instead of cheddar, to my two Red Serenade (produced by a plant germinated by Saudijoe) pods that the plant managed to produce. I too cheated a bit and bought Fatalii's Aji Cristals from grocery store and made one of them my control sample. I hope that your plants will survive the period of drought.

[JungleRain]

That Bolivian Rainbow is a beautifull plant when its full of pods

[Saudijoe]

I came back from my european tour-holiday. Meanwhile the big Aji Cristal started blooming and Bhut Jolokia has produced a number of flowerbuds that i´m unable to count.

Funny to see that a growth explosion happened indoors. I moved the plants in front of a window that gets sun from dawn until 13.00.

So i guess they didn't die afterall.

Did you visit A'Dam?

[Saudijoe]

Did you visit A'Dam?

We planned to but got tired of driving that day and stayed at Rotterdam instead.

Our route was Copenhagen-Roskilde-Bonn-Reims-Rotterdam-Helsinborg-Gothenburg. The germany-france day was touring the riversides of Rhein and Mosel and the french countryside.
