Below are some of individual peppers:   Jonah 7 Pot X Yellow Brain      Reaper and Fatali           Fish Pepper and Black Pearl and BrainStrain Red         With all the rain we have had recently, they are all about due for some fertilizer.

The constant rain here in Maryland is at least flushing out my container plants   It looks like the in-ground plants were beaten down and started to grow like a vine with stretched branches.    I straightened them and staked them, hopefully we will get some sunlight today and they will reorient...

The planter box/ ground plants have started growing a lot since I last pulled flowers from them and fertilized.  They get a mixture of fish/kelp/guano. 4 of the 8 plants: a Cleo's Dragon, Bhut Jolokia, Primo Yellow and a Devil's Tongue.  Not pictured are some Jalapeno and Bell Peppers. I plan on...

Some more interesting fare:   Bishop's Crown (note: I have fairly large hands) It is one of my 96 cent laundry basket plants and is doing just fine!   Two different Johan 7 Pot Brain phenotypes, I really like the second one and will saving seeds from it.       Reapers starting to show signs of...

Been a while since an update so here goes:   I'll start off with the Brainstrain red (left ) and JPGS from the bottom of post #9.  The Bhutlah Choc is doing about the same, but indoor hydro. They are both doing much better now.     I'm also really liking these fabric pots, despite them being the...

Dusted pollen covered Black Pearl anthers onto some Brain strains today. Also made some Fish X Lemon Drop and Fatali X Lemon Drop crosses.  

I also made some 96 cent air pruning pots this weekend.  I went to wal-mart to pick up some 5 gallon buckets (one can never have enough 5 gallon buckets) and decided to look at trash cans as potential grow containers.  I ended up in the laundry basket aisle and recalled a posting by jimbo53 and...

Prior to the weekend, I had ordered some fabric grow bags; I figured 5 gallon would be plenty big enough for my rear deck container gardening.  I was pretty excited when the package arrived; I had several plants in the ground that were not getting enough light, looking poor and basically needed...

The plants that went into the 5 gallon buckets last week showed considerable growth, the top of the Fish pepper really opened up. I have a few more plants that need to be potted up, maybe I'll make some self watering buckets today.         Those buckets are on milk crates; my wife's dog really...

After this week, I've noticed the peppers I have in the raised bed don't seem to get enough sunlight, I will try and move them into containers this weekend so I can get them into more light.  I haven't decided on if I'll go self watering pots (double 5 gallon buckets) or the air pruning pots (5...

Emasculated some Bishop's Crown flowers before they opened and brushed some Thai Dragon pollen on. I'll be paying close attention to the flowers on all my plants over the next week or so and hopefully be making more crosses.        I had planned on building a recirculating DMC, but ended up...

Had several small plants that just didn't seam to want to grow at all and several containers had multiple seedlings in the same cup. Took care of those problems (hopefully).  I had used the compressed peat pod and they were just too hard/compacted for the tiny plants to grow through.  I rolled...

I got a few pepper/garden tasks completed this weekend; hopefully they will end up being productive.         Mulched the raised bed that came with the house.  I've spent a few months killing weeds and digging up/removing roots in this area.  Hopefully it will be productive.  This area doesn't...

I have the beginnings of flowers on several of the plants and am deciding on some crosses to make.  The first few plants to get cross pollinated will probably be the Fish pepper, Omnicolor and the Aribibi Gusano.  They will most likely get crossed with Yellow Brain Strain, Reaper, Fatali and...

Looks like a day of sunlight/ without rain has helped my plants considerably.  The potted plants showed sizable growth. The Biqhinho that was ravaged by aphids is looking much better and has new green growth!       The Bhutlah Chocolate and the JPGS do not look as good, but I think with some...
