Amateur Gardener Breaks World Record?

[@ChilliChump]

Just incredible! Congratulations to everyone that entered, there were some fantastic size chillies. And a special congrats to the winners, in particular the World Record breaker!

[@stineschwarck3428]

I'm speechless.....i never figured i would win again, as I'm just doing it for fun and my boyfriend loves chillies 😆 As you say i didn't do much but water and fertilize and let the plants do their thing 😁 I don't use heatmats when growing seedlings but use residual heat from the radiators under the window sills i have them on. I'm as you titled the video an amateur gardner with a passion for growing my own food and cooking it up ☺️

[@ChilliChump]

Congrats once again, very impressive! By the way, I have sent you an email

[@alfrancis8]

Hope you start posting more for next year. Very impressive. Wanted to comment on your video but the comments are turned off. Anyway, congrats.

Length is a trait that is a quantitatively inherited trait. Seeds from that pepper would thus be a boon to grow.

[@lydiadzioba8262]

Amazing! Congrats to the winners and runners up! Next year can you also do a 'Silly Chilli' comp?! No prizes necessary, just for entertainment! I'd love to see an array of your viewers silliest chillies! 🍆🍑🌶

Planning on entering next year my friend?

[@DonPandemoniac]

​@@ChilliChump So far I haven't grown anything that would have a chance, but there is improvement (thanks to you and the community I must add). And this challenge is always in the back of my mind, so perhaps next year or another.

[@DontCropMeNow]

Well done everyone! I missed picking mine for the competition unfortunately, but my biggest this year were around 32cm. Last year they were bigger more like 37cm.

[@jacknissen6040]

Very nice! Hope it tasted as good as it looks.

Congratulation to each Winner Shaun, and to each participant who placed an entry! Just the joy of the gardening experience is also a winning category to me, but what an amazing feat that Stine has accomplished! Imagine, just allowing a plant to be a plant. Stay Spicy! -Bob...

[@benastin1680]

Thanks Shaun, I didn't realise that the video contained the comment by my daughter. I only had 2 thunder mountain plants growing but they produced nearly 1kg of chillies, they were my most productive plants. They are just finishing fermenting, then I'll taste it to see if I'm just going to keep it as a plain chilli sauce for cooking or make a few additions to make it into something else. Do you have any recommendations for a sauce with thunder mountain chillies? I only started growing chillies last year and it's your videos that have inspired me into getting into growing chillies Other than fertiliser added to the compost when planted up into the final pots I didn't feed them, just had a basic automated watering system to make sure they didn't die when I was working or on holiday. Next year I'll definitely experiment with feeding them and see if I can get better results! Keep up the great videos

[@hopinandbeliefin]

This is a great video because my experience growing peppers 🫑 were thin fleshed peppers. I didn’t think home grown plants could produce thick peppers.

[@andrewdonnelly7057]

Wow you guys are all amazing I’ve loved watching ,hopefully I’ll be brave and enough next season 👍

[@gazellecarlson6543]

so exciting.. i'll try and join next year with my northern ontario canada challenge..

[@brianfalconer8074]

Those were really epic ! Sadly, I lost both my Ramiro and Spanish giants to the cursed blossom end rot ( which puzzled me). Can but try again next year...

[@stineschwarck3428]

Sorry to hear that 😔 i myself had a problem with too much moisture and moldy peppers + a little blossom endrot too. So i defoliated a little to get more airflow, which luckily helped 👍

@@ChilliChump I would love to but I will let you know not sure at this point

[@soberhippie]

How can we be sure those are not just bell peppers? It would be fun to see a Carolina Reaper that size. Or would it?

[@BlackJesus8463]

They are bell.

[@alexu2689]

Hate to be a Debby downer, but the world record for a bell pepper like that is over 700g.

[@ChilliChump]

What makes it a "bell pepper"? Unfortunately there is no real clarification from Guinness on that.

[@alexu2689]

@@ChilliChump I will profess that I am not clear on the difference. I think it has to do with heat. But what makes this any different from the several peppers grown over 600gr.?

[@perforations6234]

those heavyweights look more like regular bell peppers, are those really "chillis"? Maybe there's some language barrier, over here a chili is something that's "hot", everything else is just a bell pepper etc

[@littlehills739]

@@ChilliChump ok thank you

[@peterjohnson9291]

Lol it's a capsicum so technically not a chilli.

[@ChilliChump]

Capsicum is the genus. A "bell pepper" or "capsicum" as some people call them are part of the capsicum annuum species of chillies....which is the same species as a jalapeno, and cayenne. Anything that is part of the capsicum genus is a chilli.

[@graememartin4454]

I think like others you should describe that pepper as a Capsicum or bell pepper rather than a 🌶, maybe being pedantic, if so sorry. I know they are all part of the same genus, do you also grow bell peppers?

[@ChilliChump]

It is part of the capsicum annuum species of chillies. Even traditional "bell peppers" are part of c.anuum species. I have never understood the differentiation of a bell pepper not being a chilli. The jalapeno, cayenne and many others are also part of the c.annuum species. Some say it is when the variety doesn't have heat, that it is considered a bell pepper, but then what about chillies like the Trinidad perfume which is heatless but part of the c.chinense species. Honestly, it's an interesting debate.

[@graememartin4454]

I agree, I suppose the lack of capsaicin is the issue for some in the distinction. I add bells to my hot sauces for flavour and to bulk and tone down the heat. Love your hot sauce recipes.

[@graememartin4454]

Oh and of course congratulations to the winners😃
