Bhut Jolokia

17 years ago

Interesting, it is now August and my bhut jolokia's that I started from seed (germinated on 03/10 as an approximate date) still have not bloomed.

My other peppers bloomed and the blooms have fallen off, however these bhuts look like a nice plant however it hasnt bothered blooming at all. Not even evidence of a bloom or an attempt at blooming.

I have no idea if it has more to do with the 105+ degree we've been having in Texas (since May) or if it normally takes this long for its first bloom, or if the potting soil that I got from Callahan's is the culprit. The potting soil is more than likely too rich and has some manure in it. I've had to soak it through and through several times and doesn't seem to like it. Any plants that I potted using that soil don't seem to do as well as even just regular soil from the yard :(

Any ideas on what keeps a pepper plant from blooming - not even looking like a crown has formed where the blooms normally grow from - very strange.
