Beautiful harvest mate! Plenty more ripe than I have right now. And the plant is looking stunning too 🔥
Thanks, glad this plant has held on and is incredibly healthy. Looking forward to your next update!
You both had injuries this year so I think you two need a rematch in 2024! :)@@PepperGeek
We've had a terrible Summer in the UK
Man, I just proudly harvested my first 10 Habaneros and you're like:
Haha I feel the same way. So proud of my three ripened habeneros
Hah, well to be fair, this variety is known for big yields, habaneros can be a bit more tricky. And we devoted a lot of time/energy to growing it 😁
Yeah, i've planted 8 habanero seeds, only 2 sprouted, and only one plant survived transplant. Got like 15 peppers on it, planning on harvesting seeds to plant the next season. Tried eating one, still green, its hot as hell.
Mine just starting to appear. What am I doing wrong?
@@PepperGeekDid chili chumps naga come from the same seed stock as yours?
Just harvested this morning orange habaneros, Trinidad scorpions, ghost and a few Carolina reapers. Planning on making some fermented hot sauce and also freezing some peppers for spring.
Sounds like a great bundle of fire!
I got some Chili Chump Dorset Naga seeds and my back ordered Vego Garden self watering rolling planters finally showed up. I can't wait for next year!
Nice harvest! Thanks to your videos, I've successfully grown and started to harvest my first scotch bonnets. I'm in northern Minnesota and didn't think it would be possible. I have 12 plants, and every one has more than 50 peppers on them. Keep up the good work!
Looks like a great harvest!
Outstanding progress. Great job
Thank you 😊
Wow thats many times my full garden of pepper harvest off one plant. Great job!
Thank you! Certainly an incredible variety with lots of vigor
14 scorpion plants and only one produced. The last two years, my ghosts dropped all their flowers, but seeing as how all I’ve heard about Dorsets is that they produce pods like a weed, I think I’m going to get some of those seeds for next year. Such a bummer of working so hard since February and only getting a whopping 8 pods.
Here’s to next year!
I've got a second year Scorpion this year & I've harvested just over 100 peppers so far, & it's still covered with peppers & putting out flowers.
@@bonsaibean2971 Dang! 100 peppers?! I'm really thinking about over-wintering my Scorpion, given that it has been the only successful super-hot in my garden. Hopefully, more pods next year!
Stunning looking plant and great harvest
Thank you kindly!
That’s one fantastic looking plant! I hope you get a fantastic amount of peppers from it! First flush seems pretty solid! Still need to taste me a Dorset naga…I’ll have to keep an eye out for sfrb availability with those in it.
bro, that plant is freaking hugh. Long time subscriber, first time leaving comments. I remember you showed this plant in a few videos.
I still have 3 Dorset Naga plants going, all in-ground, but no ripe chilis yet. #1 is in my Old Garden which has the most fertile soil and part shade; at 4 1/2 feet tall it is not even the biggest pepper plant in its vicinity (a Sugar Rush Red next to it and a couple of Tabaneros a couple feet away are bigger probably thanks to starting earlier than the late January date when I received the seeds). #1 is very healthy-looking and starting to flower. #2 is in a friend's full-sun allotment, and is nearly as large as #1, with denser foliage and with a few green pods. #3 is in my New Garden in a spot that has done well in the past, but it was the smallest to begin with and is still only 18" tall. (All three of these spent a long time under 6" tall this spring, with their broad leaves dragging on the ground and taking damage from slugs).
I did have a ghost pepper plant near where #1 is a few years ago that achieved over 100 ripe pods, so some potential is still there.
Looking great! I had a scotch bonnet break off and I reset it back on the stem base with some staking. It seems to have mended enough to keep going.
I suppose I could have tried that, almost like a graft
@@PepperGeek I guess you could call it that. It was more of an attempt to save it like a "here goes nothing" try. It's always a learning experience.
💚👍great looking plant!!
Thanks 😁
So impressive! I'm having a little pepper luck for the first time this season because of your videos. Thanks for all the tips. I'm in the same state and wonder if you have any cucumber variety or timing tips for the geeky greenhouse channel? By the time it was warm enough to get them to germinate, they baked in the sun either before putting out any fruit or after only a handful.
You both are having some serious bad luck with plants breaking off. I'm glad that this one is doing well, that was quite a havest!
I was waiting for a 'giggity' at the appropriate moment...
It was said, but I thought putting it in another time might be too much 😂
🤣@@PepperGeek
Great video, thanks for the info. A few questions as I am new to your UA-cam channel. 1. What area of the country (grow zone) are you growing you plants? 2. Do you keep your plants alive for multiple seasons? 3. Until. today I have never heard of the Dorset Naga pepper, how does it compare to the Ghost pepper (heat, flavor & size). Thanks again for the vide
Nice! I grew one from seed because of your competition. Yours is certainly a bit bigger. I’m happy with the ~20 fruits I’ve harvested from mine. I cannot imagine what to do with all of those superhots!😅
They are ferociously spicy too! I think we’ll dehydrate much if these for powder, and ferment some. It’s much more than we _need_ for sure 😊
I've hadjust three on my plants 😢
@@PepperGeek I believe it! I’m dehydrating mine right now for the same purpose. Best of luck on your 2nd and 3rd batches of fruit!!
Nice looking plant and a fine mid-August harvest Calvin! Still time in the season to match that out your way. Will be interesting to see what Shaun has for his update too. Guess you both had a plant set back with this variety? -Bob...
Yep, it’s been a tough season for a few reasons, and these plants took off quickly and became too heavy. The branches don’t have much strength at the junctions, and the main stem didn’t either I guess
@@PepperGeek Seems as though a search for a sturdier tree stalk is necessary to support the plant and pod growth? Have you or Shaun had an opportunity to visit on that point?
Awesome
Would like to see a recipe using this pepper, maybe hot sauce, etc
Why don't you use those wire tomato cages for support? For your special plants you could use x2 one small and one large for them to grown through?
Great looking plant. The peppers look inviting. How hot are they?
VERY hot, one pepper for a bottle of hot sauce was more than enough. Probably well into the 1M Scoville range
I have been asking Rob a few times, no answer yet, at what age is it save to transplant overcrowded seedlings in bigger containers. Thank you
How can I send you a photo? I have some slight browning on some pepper leaves that started a couple days ago and I don’t know what it is. I can’t figure it out by looking online and I want to nip this in the butt before it gets worse. I’m always watching your videos on UA-cam so you were the next option I came to.
What are you going to do about that big pot when the season is over? Will you reuse the soil for a new plant next year or replace it entirely?
It will be reused. The soil will be amended to replenish the nutrients the plants used.
Yep, we’ll probably plant a flower assortment next season instead of another big pepper
What's the difference in taste between dorset naga and the bhut jolokia?
Very similar from what I can gather. I don't really eat these superhots by themselves, but the aroma is strong C. chinense, and it adds a very pronounced flavor to the hot sauces we have made so far.
All my Cayennes are still green...
Some of our other varieties still haven’t ripened yet either 🤷🏻♂️
@@PepperGeek New England... I'm telling ya lol
Looks amazing ! I gotta know.. do the pepper geeks also grow herbal remedies? :) You use a lot of the same medical cannabis growing tips/tricks!
i always thought chili chump was from australia
I think originally from South Africa, now in UK
That harvest would last me approximately 276 years, lol.
😄 maybe we should send some to Johnny Scoville
My Dorset naga is nowhere near that big 😅
How will the winner be judged? I note you are counting them but would it be better to weigh them?
I’ll weigh them as well and keep tabs, but we agreed on the largest number of ripe pods by the end of the season (around Nov 1st)
Good luck!
Your plant is not as big as chili chumps, but your pods are far superior to his. Win or lose, I'd rather have the pods you produced then a bunch of small ones.
I did see that from his hydroponic plant - wondering what the soil plant will bring. So far, I'm happy with our results (now up to 316 peppers harvested, with lots more ripening now)
Where are you guys?
CT
I got peach ghosts, they are actually red. Is this a common occurence or did they send me the wrong seeds. I live close to the arctic circle. 2 hrs north of me, all roads end.
Our peach ghosts are always peach. There are red ghost scorpions so it may just have been a mixup, or an unintended cross
@@PepperGeek they are different than chili's. Bigger and more rounded. Lots of fruit but only have a couple of weeks left then have to bring inside. Carolina Reaper's next year.
