UPDATE: GIGANTIC BHUT NAGA JOLOKIA GROW IN TEXAS GHOST CHILE PEPPER

Some like it hot, I prefer the absolute hottest. This is my 2 year old Naga Jolokia plant that up until a few weeks ago, had only yielded 3 peppers in the Spring, and one random one in August. There are several dozen on there, I'm going to wait for them to turn bright red to start counting.

UPDATE: Harvest to date: 76 gorgeous Bhut Jolokia's as of this point, many more still in the ripening process on the plant, many that have yet to ripen are the largest I've seen/grown to date. I also harvested over 500 of my hybrids as well, the second harvest of the year putting me in excess of 1000 peppers off of a single plant.

Why don't you just plant them in the ground? I have like 8 ghost pepper plants started this March which have produced altogether well into the hundreds of peppers, but people happen to like them so they get harvested as they ripen.

@stevelau1933 What is the weather like where you're located?

[wankelcrazy]

@stevelau1933 It's been way too hot the past 2 summers, I plant them in the pot's (which mind you are 20 gallon huge clay pots) b/c I don't know how bad the summers are going to be; if I'm getting peppers in May/June then I'd put that plant in the ground immediately and let it finish there - those seasons we'll get 2 harvests. The past 2 summers have been 105-110 for 2 months straight, causes flower drop and no peppers. Also, b/c of water restrictions potted plants are exempt.

@stevelau1933 My initial harvest from this plant, which was right after this video was made was the end of last November, the main harvest was in the middle of December! If I'm starting plants from seeds I have to start them right after this harvest for them to be the right size for planting in March. It's a year-round endeavor here, but I'd rather be closer to the coast so the heat would be tempered, Houston would be much better for example.

I lived in Euless from 1992-2008. I live in Central Fla. now and started my plants in July 2008. I can't see how you deal with the DFW summers. I never see temps over 95 here. Plus I get the normal 4:00pm rain.

@ExtremePeppers I'm looking for work there at the moment actually; I cannot stand the summers here anymore, there isn't anything to do when it is 105-110 outside and my plants do little except consume ridiculous amounts of water and drop flowers until the temperature goes down. Pisses me off. Don't get any fruit set until middle of Sept and leaves me wide open to have a harvest ruined if first freeze comes in late Oct or Nov.

As Sir Lancelot put it (well, kind of): "I like big Bhuts and I cannot lie ..." ;D

[DALESTALEY1]

How did you get you plant to grow so big? Mine produces good quantities, but it is much smaller as seen in my video.

Cant wait to grow my Bhuts!
