image 09.12.2022 - I removed the leftovers off the last four plants, as I did the others a few weeks ago already. The 8 plants gave me a total of 418 pods or 499 gramms of chili. I'm super happy about their growth as I wasn't expecting that many in my first year of growing chilies. Wondering about the inconsistency in shape tho. Some seem to have a Reaper kind of stinger, sone are just round, sharp like a needle or this distinct shape of "no shape at all". Anyway, in the end of the day I cut down the green to try to overwinter the plants and keep one or two for the 2023 season.

image 01.11.2022 - the plants walked inside the house on 29.09.2022 as they didn't want to be the only ones left ouside in cold weather.
They are still growing and ripening their chilies, but the plants look way worse than they did outside. Looks like they're going to die off for good.
There are still growing and ripening quite a lot of chilies on them and one plant even started to show many flowers again. But I don't want to polinate them anymore.
I picked 59 chilies (=103gramms) off them so far

image 04.08.2022 - look at this beauty! Even though all of my Bhut Jolokias look bushy like this now, this one stands out since it has the most chillies on it. for now it's 9 fruits and still many many flowers.

The outdoor plant had some struggles due to the heat (and missed watering) for a few days, but has 2 quite nice fruits on it that are not too far off the greenhouse-plants.

image 07.07.2022 - That's the test sample in the garden soil. It looks kinda like Zombie, but at least it's by far more healthy than the other two test samples (#4 and #7). The difference being this one was living in an outside pot for a few weeks compared to #4 and #7 which moved from inside the house into the garden directly.

Oh.. but it's still not as big as it looks like. Quite small actually.

image 03.07.2022 - This is like a week old by now, but they are doing fantastic in general.
By now even a few of the blossoms started to bloom. They are sooo tiny cute little things, but very fragile when trying to pollinate them by hand. Ask me how I know.

image 14.05.2022 - moved the 9 plants from 1L to 4L pots and the tenth plant from 0.3 to 1L, but it doesn't have a good root system as it seems to be overly watered
