Devv-2018-Loving life in the dirt

Here we go again!
 
This year will be a mix of in the dirt and container growing. Mostly in the dirt. I have some OW's going, 5 are cut back, 6 are pubes that still spend time outdoors as the weather allows. I have pH issues in the dirt, working on that, and hoping for some better results this season. One thing the wife and I decided is to NOT grow into the fall again. I was pulling plants the same weekend I started my seeds. I'm using 4 2 bulb T8's with 6,500K bulbs, and 1 4 bulb T5 with I believe 6,500K bulbs.
 
So here's the list:

Hey, Scottie, thought you'd like to see some
great looking JA Red Habanero plants in their
new shoes. This has been a great strain, do
you know where it originated?  I think WalkGood
had a hand in it? Anyway, these seeds from you
have produced real winners over the seasons!:

SC has weather...and heat...and humidity...and storms...gonna be trickier here for sure. I'll be lucky to get a pod!

 
I think if you're close enough to the coast the heat will be better than further inland. Dad retired there (Myrtle Beach) about 16 years ago and on average they have 5° cooler weather than I get here. That and the humidity may help
 
Just for grins, here's what I plant at these dates:
 
Garlic 9/15
other fall crops 9/15
Onions 1/15, I start them in pots 9/15
Potatoes 2/15
Maters 3/1 if 10 day forecast is good.
Peppers from 3/15 to 4/7 depends on conditions
By late June I'm done with everything, unless I feel like watering the peppers all summer until they start to produce in mid September.  I can run them until late December most years.

Ramon (Walkgood) got these from Jamaica. I finally got one up and running. I sure hope it's pure!
 
A few quick not so good phone pics from yesterday, I had them inside after a few days in a 30% sunshade tent. They went out again today for a few days.

Reaper getting rather large...
 

 
Out of room..
 

 
I counted 59 maters...sigh. LB wanted me to grow more so we could donate to the local food bank
 
Edit: found stankin Aphids on a few plants

 

[PaulG]

You are right, bro, you need more space!

They look great, though, foliage nice and
green/healthy. I look forward to seeing them
In a couple of months, big ol monsters!

Is that a 3 gallon pot the Reaper is in?
I just got a batch of them from htgsupply.

Must be expecting storms if you're sandbagging like this already!

I never sandbag...I just suck all the time.

Man, folk need to check out some of
Shanes old grow logs. Can you say
master pepper grower?

The man is a machine. The only thing
he sucks up is massive pod harvests.
His avatar is just a hint. We used to call
him Mr. Money Shot!

Seriously, Shane is an awesome forum
member!

That was for reasons totally unrelated to pod production...

Thanks Paul
 
They're #2 pots, I got them from the Greenhousemegastore.
 
I brought them inside again. They were getting hammered by the 25+ mph winds. And back out Monday for the final sunshade hardening.
 
I'm feeling like a bit of an earlier plant out this season, maybe just half

I will second that one!

Beautiful looking plants, great growth rates.

I held off a month this season to try and avoid that this yr.

You're going to have some monsters this yr for sure.

 

[Devv]

Good to see you Dan!
 
I'm trying to beat the heat with larger plants come plant out; and I think I'm going to push the dirt day date this year.
 
How's that shoulder? Mines at about 80%, constant rehab...sigh. But I earned my pain via stupidity...lot of that going on around here..LOL

 

[heefy]

Bloody hell! Great glog. The plants have come on so well.

That garden looks utterly amazing. Well jealous.

Your flying along Scott ..... totally agree with Heefy you have a super cool garden indoor and outdoor all I would add would be Mikes whiskey barrel smoker

 

[Walchit]

Thanks!
 
I'm hoping for the best year ever; but that's all in Mother natures hands. Hoping the heat stays off until late May

You can grow in my back yard 
 
We hope we have some heat by late May!
 
All the best for an awesome plant-out, Scott!
