Yeah, it definitely has helped a lot.

Works also under fluorescent quite okay.

And with sun too, but just be prepared pinch the leaves and stems quite often!

Those are all amazing looking. never tried making a "Bonchi", although I've cut many plants down and it's always a delight seeing those first signs of life. well done.

All your Bonchi have very treelike trunk but my chilies have significantly smaller trunk. Will they still work as Bonchi or is the treeness mandatory?

Omri · kesäkuu 23, 2009, 14:05:12 ip

I don't think so, it's just part of the look.
All chiles get that look eventually, it just takes time.

Some vars grow a thick stems very easy when grown outdoors or in the greenhouse.
Some can grow huge stems even when grown indoors.

This year I got some very nice trunks in the large greenhouse in a matter of WEEKS!

The idea is to grow huge plant at first, then cut it down for nice, thick stem.
This is actually good as you can get a good yield, a nice looking plant for the winter to take care of, AND a good plants to start with the next spring!

All of my overwintered bonchis I moved to large pots look very good now!

Well all I know is that good growth=thick stem

Don't mind me being happy. Just rented a piece of land next door!. Guess what I'm going to do with that

Congrats.

Here's Habanero Brown Large after 4 months in a huge greenhouse:

4 months to go!

Can't wait to cut it down and transfor it into a Bonchi!
Chinenses have been quite easy for the task as their natural growing habit is very bushy.

Wow

I wonder if it's possible to make a smokin' pipe of chili's wood

Fatalii · elokuu 05, 2009, 00:02:38 ap

Heheh!

At least it's very possible to drill it easily, don't know how good it's for you tho....
Depends on what you smoke with it?

Jah · elokuu 05, 2009, 01:34:53 ap

I quit 2 years ago (and I never smoke MJ, don't mention my nickname) but I've got a friend that loves chiles and pipe tobacco

Fatalii · elokuu 05, 2009, 01:59:16 ap

Hard to tell if chile stems produces a smoke that is bad for you, I mean worse than tobacco, perhaps somebody else knows.

Jah · elokuu 05, 2009, 04:32:41 ap

The harm of the smoke doesn't the matter

It does if the wood won't burn too quickly and won't make too stinky smoke

I've been wondering, how hard those chile stems are?

Is it possible to make a knife handle out of chile stem?

Jah · elokuu 08, 2009, 21:13:47 ip

LOL that's another splendid idea my friend would be glad to hear

He is a knife fan too

Fatalii · elokuu 09, 2009, 09:59:22 ap

When the stem dries, it will be suprisingly hard... I still wonder if it's hard enough as a handle of a knife

Nice idea!

Cumari Pollux bonchi project is progressing nicely:

Here's a pic where it started:

After cutting it down it didn't look too good but I already knew where I was aiming for:

And here's latest pic of Bird's Eye Baby bonchi:

Perfect plants for overwintering!

Jah · elokuu 25, 2009, 10:47:26 ap

Yes they are.
Btw, I have some seeds of something like that Bird's Eye Baby but the plant and the fruits are purple. It's very tiny too

Do you know what is it and do you want some seeds?

Jah, it looks pretty, might be nice to add to ornamental collection next year or season after that.

Anyways, here's a latest photo of Dutch-Habanero f1

How do you Water the Bonchis. Soil seems to dry fast. I use akadama and soil (kukkamulta). Do you have a method of inserting the water from the hole underneath the pot?

I'm a proud father of my first newborn bonchi
