Haha Strongbow! I wish I was a cow (4 stomachs) cos mine is fucked, although I'll plod on. Waiting for my chocolate bhut jolokias to ripen. My Aji Citos are ripe ( Hottest of all the Aji's) I'll be giving them a bash in a day or two. God rest my soul.

Aji Cito

Did 2 of these as they are only small, wish I didn't now. Stingy little bastards, instant drool and my tongue felt as though it was being hit constantly with a wire brush.
The initial taste was very crispy/crunchy and aromatic but this soon faded. The afterburn was cool though.
 
Note the rubber gloves and stanley/craft knife rather than bare hands and a normal kitchen knife.

Warning: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!

The Bhut Jolokia Yellow

Had 2 big fuckers. Took the seeds out the biggest and did the slightly smaller one, which was still fookin big.

Very fruity for 5 seconds or so. Then came the pain, excruciating. I nearly passed out. I should have realized when I cut the biggest to get the seeds out. There was loads of droplets of capsaicin oozing out of the membrane and inner wall.

I'm typing this 10 mins or so later and my mouth feels like a bomb has gone off in it.

Hahahahaa!! You nut case!

You're gonna suffer tomorrow pal :)))
 
How does the arji cito compare to an arji limon?

Got an excellent crop of the limons the other year. They had a lovely fruity and hot taste (bit less hot than a habonero)

Dried most of them, then mashed them into flakes. Running out now though :(

They look the same although slightly smaller, the Cito a little bit hotter, but has less flavour in my opinion.

I'm typing this about an hour later and my mouth is still throbbing ever so slightly.
 
I am filling the spare room in my grow tent with strawberry's and chillies.
Strawbs i have sorted but i know sod all about chillies.

What is a nice aromatic strain and not so hot to grow ?

The temperature in the tent is EXACTLY 76f lights on/day and 68 at night.
Do they need 18/6 light cycle then 12/12 like err other "fruits" or can i bang them straight to 12/12 ?
I will be growing in plagron batmix (the best soil you can get) so nutrients i am ok with.

Any advice would be most welcome, including where to buy them, thanks :)

Chillies need quite a bit of light mate. Heat wise 24c-28c is ideal. your soil should be ok, but test it with litmus to see. (slightly acidic is better)

Pepper wise Bonnets are easy to grow and quite productive as are Paper lanterns. Jalapenos are also piss easy to grow. A nice versatile pepper with a bit of heat would be a cajun belle. If you want something for curries then the Jwala pepper is Ideal.

These guys are in the UK. See what they've got to offer.

Whats the hottest chilli you've ever had paphos? Do any make you cry and want to cut out youre tounge or have you built up a tolerance?
The hottset ones i can find in my supermarket are scotch bonnets and they do nothing for me, looking for something a bit nuts
 
Top info paphos :)

Ok so i'll stick em in the vegging tent (18/6). Just to be sure... I don't have to drop the light cycle at all to induce flowering/fruit production. ?

I think i will take your suggestions, these fuckers have as much variety and cool names as the other seeds i like growing hehe.
I will have a good browse on the site though cheers :)

I've grown and done the Beast that is......The Moruga red. There's a pic early in the thread. I've nicknamed it the Negredo chilli as it a fucking BEAST and yes, I cried like a little girl as my mouth went to DEFCON 1.

I was testing regularly at that time so my tolerance was pretty good unlike today where I was beaten by a Yellow Bhut. A little bit of hot stuff every day gives you a good tolerance, hence my sauces that I've made and bought.

Guy, the more light the chilli has, the more energy it will have to reproduce (flower) Keep the soil damp and feed once a week. You can also encourage further flowering by spraying the leaves and stems with warm water. Chilli focus is a good product to feed and you can get it online.
 
Nice info paphos, cheers.

Moruga red eh ?, to close to the word "morgue" for my likings :p

Have you any video of you doing heat challenges paphos, i could do with a giggle :D
If not, make one for us :)

Not my Idea of fun having everyone on bluemoon watching me cry, sniffle and drool all at the same time. But might do it one day (when I'm pissed.)

I'll probably say balls to it one day and just do it!
 
I found the Arji Limons easyish to grow. Very quick at fruiting too.

Cant really go wrong with plenty of light and just keeping the soil moist

Another reccomendation for chili focus food. Well worth the extra bit of money.

Usually I buy my seeds from the south devon chili farm.

Love chillis. Still need to make a Naga Phall for work sometime.
 
I got some chilli oil for my birthday, 4 different strengths.. Mild, medium, hot and extreme. Had the extreme last night in a chilli I made - fantastic flavour. Couldn't tell you the brand as its unbranded, but I've been looking online and I'm stocking up!

Anyone help with a good one?
