Abstract

Disclosed herein is a method directed to growing the Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum chili plant also known as the Chile Del Monte chile plant. More specifically, the present invention generally relates to a method of growing the Chile Del Monte chili plant through a series of steps starting with the seed of the plant obtained from an existing Chile Del Monte chili plant. In one embodiment the method of growing the chili plant is comprised of five main phases to include seed procurement, heated water treatment, heated light treatment, seed prep for planting, and seed planting and maintenance.

Claims

1. A method of growth for the Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum chili plant comprising the steps of:

applying a heated water treatment to the Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum chili plant seed(s);

next applying a heated light treatment to said Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum chili plant seed(s);

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said heated water treatment is comprised of submerging said Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum chili plant seed(s) in a container of water for about twenty to forty minutes;

wherein said water has been heated and is maintained at 175 degrees Fahrenheit.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein said heated water treatment is comprised of submerging said Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum chili plant seed(s) in a container of water for about twenty to forty minutes;

wherein said water has been heated to 175 degrees Fahrenheit prior to submerging said Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum chili plant seed(s); and

wherein said water is allowed to cool by removing or turning off the heating source.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein said time for submerging said Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum chili plant seed(s) is thirty minutes.

5. The method of claim 3, wherein said time for submerging said Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum chili plant seed(s) is thirty minutes.

6. The method of claim 2, wherein said water has a sufficient amount of fertilizer added prior to said Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum chili plant seed(s) submersion so that said Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum chili plant seed(s) benefit in growth from the fertilizer.

7. The method of claim 3, wherein said water has a sufficient amount of fertilizer added prior to said Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum chili plant seed(s) submersion so that said Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum chili plant seed(s) benefit in growth from the fertilizer.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein said fertilizer added is one ounce of Everris concentrated water soluble non liquid form per gallon of said water.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein said fertilizer added is one ounce of Everris concentrated water soluble non liquid form per gallon of said water.

10. The method of claim 2, wherein the following ratio is utilized:

one half pound of said Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum chili plant seeds to one gallon of said water.

11. The method of claim 1, further comprising an initial step of procuring said Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum chili plant seed.

12. The method of claim 1, further comprising an additional step of prepping said Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum chili plant seed for planting.

13. The method of claim 11, further comprising an additional step of prepping said Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum chili plant seed for planting.

14. The method of claim 12, further comprising an additional step of planting and maintaining said Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum chili plant seed.

15. The method of claim 14, further comprising an initial step of procuring said Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum chili plant seed.

16. The method of claim 2, wherein said heat light treatment is comprised of applying an external heat source for fifteen to thirty five hours.

17. The method of claim 3, wherein said heat light treatment is comprised of applying an external heat source for fifteen to thirty five hours.

18. The method of claim 16, wherein said heat source provides a heat source on said Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum chili plant seed(s) equivalent to the heat produced by a 75 watt to a 175 watt bulb placed eighteen inches above from the surface of said water with said Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum chili plant seed(s) six inches deep in said water.

19. The method of claim 17, wherein said heat source provides a heat source on said Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum chili plant seed(s) equivalent to the heat produced by a 75 watt to a 175 watt bulb placed eighteen inches above from the surface of said water with said Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum chili plant seed(s) six inches deep in said water.

20. The method of claim 14, wherein said step of planting and maintaining is comprised of taking said Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum chili plant seed(s) from the previous step and planting them in soil, vermiculite, or a combination of the two and watering said Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum chili plant seed(s) lightly each day.
