Breathtaking sight! I hope the farm hands understand what they are dealing with and don’t try and sneak a box home with them. I can see it now… First day 12 pickers excited to get started picking, second day 3 show up and 9 call in sick with stomach problems or from the hospital. LOL

Something tells me we wont be splitting a box of pots and trays next year.. LOL I better place my order early as you may put them out of stock with your first order. Ha Ha Ha! Does this mean you will have more Scorpion puree available this year or are all these pods going to be sold in bulk?

I don't think the field hands even know what those peppers are...about a mile and a half away, there are several acres of jalapenos, cayenne, poblano, cubanelle...geez...can't remember how many different varieties he is growing....

I think you are right on the trays/pots....all of these scorpion plants were transplanted into 2.5" X 2.5" X 3" containers

Decision on the Scorpion puree is still up in the air...don't know what the market will be for them...and I think most of the pods will be sold in bulk...

Omri said:

:(

The last ones became an instant hit in my unit. there are tales of a man who is crazy enough to try wielding the heat of the superhots in the form of purees. :lol:
 
Omri...son, son, son...there are many others for you to have as your hero...I can't stand up to the hype... :lol:

here are some shots of the pods on the plants that I am just now getting around to posting...

pods. pods, pods and more pods they just keep coming...
what sort of pod weight would you get on average from each plant AJ?
 
6 gram pods x about 100 per harvest is my guess. Three harvests if he is furtunate enough. 1.8 kilos per plant about say 4 pounds roughly times that by 1800. Holy mother of mercy thats like A BAZILLION POUNDS!

Edit: I suck at math when not sober. :D
 
To think I must have passed by there on my way from Memphis to Mobile via Hattiesburg on 49/98 this week! :eek:

Was that six rows?! I think I'm turning around. Looks great!

Those plants, and pods, are gorgeous AJ! I would want to camp out there and guard those with my life if I had that kind of crop.

thank you...I have thought about putting a cot between the rows and sleeping there one night just to see how it feels, but with 95% humidity and 75-80F at night that would be quite unbearable to me...

I see MONEY! Congrats AJ.

If I don't make my cuz some money on this years crop, there will be no more sujperhots grown on this land...but on the other hand, if we do make a little money, then we will expand next year and grow more...

for planning purposes JR, I only estimated 1/2 lb (~225 gms) per plant...and it looks like I will get that off the first harvest...

the pods have differing sizes...some up to 15 gms but most in the 5-7 gm range...and I won't even guess how many per plant I will get...I am hoping a bunch and would be tickled to get 2 lb per plant

only 4 rows hotstuff...but they are really long rows...giggling here...if you were on 98, you passed within about 3-4 miles of the farm when you were on the east side of Lucedale...Rocky Creek community is where these are..and guess what, my cuz is a 6th generation farmer of this land....my Great Great Great Grandfather moved here from Cheraw district South Carolina about 1830 or so...

Holy crap AJ. Now thats a field of dreams!

wish you were here to help me Derek...we could definitely have some fun in the fields...remember when I was bugging you for a few Scorpion seeds back in 2007...some of these are probably descended from the seedstock you sent me but most are from Sara...I still have 4 different basic pod types/shapes on the plants and probably will keep these 4 basic shapes for future grows...

Great looking plants AJ !!! You will spend hours taking photos and video I'm sure.
So are the 4 different plants/strains in different rows or mixed together?
July is pretty good for first harvest for you guys hey?
Well done and best of luck selling them.
