Piquin ( Capsicum Annuum)

Pollination difficulties from 1-10 1 = easiest 10 = hardest: 2

B. Jolokia ( Capsicum Chinense)
Height: 40 cm
Width : 65 cm
Size of container: 3,5 litres plastic container.
Amount of flowers: 20 +- 5
Amount of Pods: 10
Pollination difficulties from 1-10 1 = easiest 10 = hardest : 9
Comments: Fresh B. Jolokia Pod is really really good. It is also economically justified. One pod can sustain one person for about a week cooking. You dont need much to spice up an arbitrary dish. Having a B. Jolokia plant is actually a time investment which can be considered smart regarding the usage you can have for the pods. But that is my humble opinion and probably do not apply to everyone.

Amount of Pods: 4
Pollination difficulties from 1-10 1 = easiest 10 = hardest : 8
Comments: Have not pollinated this plant much. I am not out after much fruits. I am more out after the knowledge about the plant. How hard it is to pollinate, the taste of the pods etc.

Pollination difficulties from 1-10 1 = easiest 10 = hardest : 6
Comments: The biggest pod of Naga Morich is bigger then the biggest B. Jolokia Pod. I have previously given a reasonable explanation for that. I am looking forward to continue the comparison with the B. Jolokia when it comes to pod taste.

Size of container : 12 litre plastic container.
Amount of flowers: a LOT ( maybe 100 ?)
Amount of pods: 5 ?
Pollination difficulties from 1-10 1 = easiet 10 = hardest : 5
Comments : At LAST, success!! I have been working hard on to get fruit on this one. Now when I pollinate it it seems much easier then before. Must be the Nitrogene running out and plant is interested in blooming/fruiting stage now. I thought it was hard to pollinate at first. But the pollination difficulty is depended on what kind of stage the plant is in.
Pimenta De Neyde (Capsicum chinense x capsicum Annuum)
Height: 90 cm
Width: 40 cm
Size of container : 12 litre plastic container.
Amount of flowers: 10
Amount of pods: 0
Pollination difficulties from 1-10 1 = easiet 10 = hardest : 8
Comments: I think this one shows the same problem as the Chocolate Scotch Bonnet did. It has too much Nitrogene in the soil and aims for growth. It is a matter of time when that business is done. As soon as the Nitrogene has expired I have promised myself not to do the misstake to boost a plant with too much Nitrogene.

Comments: This plant was at my neighbour. Due to very favorable light conditions. I can present some raw data. I have a seven pod on my window seat that sprouted at the same time. That one is 15 cm tall. This one is 55 cm. Good light = good growth. No doubt about it.

Comments: This is also one of my plant that was at my neighbour due to poor light conditions at my home. Notice the abnorm width in relation to the height. I need to support this one badly. Due to the world championsship in football. This has not been done yet.

Comments: I obtained some seeds from my friend Carl. This is an extremely prolific plant which gives pods easily. It can manage poor light conditions too. So I needed to try this. I am looking forward to test the plant during bad conditions. To see how good it can manage it.

Lack of support for your plants due to football? Weird. Give them all the wooden legs we can observe in this bloody championship. There's enough of those wooden legs for you, me and the entire swedish hothead community.
Having said that, the Spanish dudes playing right now, do impress I must admit.
Happy midsummer to you my friend.
Yeah, world cup and a lot of in real job taking time now. I am not sure how to support the rocoto orange. But that is like the least of my priorities with the world cup and a lot of job goin in real. I saw the spanish "tici-taca" football. Gotta admit they are good in passing. Not so sure it will take them whole way to the finals. I have bet some cash on the "mercedes-benz" people. I think they got the right type of long-term comittment needed for this tournament.
