Hey Jason... legendary load out bro! Has the '08 Bhut survived so far? Mine took the chew
I know I have one. I have lost a few plants, but that one has survived!

Hey Jason, Any hints for growing the varieties you sent?
Sun exposure and height, mostly is what I'm wondering about.
Here's the list of your varieties that I have going:
TSB, chocolate
BJ, chocolate
7 Pot Barrakapore #2, chocolate
Trinidad 7 Pot Jonah yellow thimbles
Sepia Serpent F5
Brown Eggs
PI441598 cross, peach
All are looking good, brother, and I can't wait to start planting out!
The PI 441598 cross was a smaller plant. Around three feet in height. This year are F3s so will still be some variance. And hope the stay peach.
Last year with the F2s, only one of three plants was peach, the others red.
Brown eggs never exceeded two and a half feet. A Short stocky hab built on that one. The trin scotch bon choc was about three feet in height.
All the others got big, four to six feet, the choc bhut the lesser of that group. Everything was grown with full sun from 10am to 3pm, with filtered light before and after. They all seem to respond well in those light conditions.
Will I could tell you more.
Your plants are looking so so good Paul. Keep doing what your doing!

Talking about getting crowded
Pods are looking good, love the gnarly reaper cross
The crowd has moved. Outside now hardening under shade cloth! Put the reaper cross in a 10 gal root pouch. That pod is completely red now! Thanks Stefan!

Don't work too hard this weekend planting those gazillion plants you have!
I work my butt off, but no plants in the ground. All garden prep work is about 85% done now and everything outside. Progress was made! My body is telling me, by pain in all limbs, joints and muscles, that I accomplish something.

Hi Jason, very cool that you have pods coloring up already, but ain't it crazy that you haven't been able to plant before now. Based on the extended forecast here, I'll be planting outside this weekend under a low row cover as well, and upping the ante on passive heating by laying down IRT black plastic mulch. You've got so many plants to set out I hope you've got help. Good luck my friend!
Thanks Rick. Yeah... I was hoping to plant out earlier. The weather could just make up its mind. My plants suffered a bit needing to be set free from the over crowded grow shelves. I lost a few. Some I just didn't know, way in the back, had dried up. Others choked out by their neighboring plants died off. The list of varieties that I only have one plant of got larger that's for sure.
Everything should be happy from now on though.
Glad you already got the hoops up and plastic down. Will not be much longer and temps will be in the zone there!

hollllyyy shiiiiiit
Lol. I'm going to bet my stomach is going to say the exact same thing soon! Who am I kidding. Those word might roll off my tongue as the pain kicks in.
Here are my round one plant hardening off under the shade cloth. Filled it up completely. Had to stick a few over on the other side of the yard under the umbrella with the pot ups.
The shade cloth is 70 to 80%. Tested a few plants out before putting them all in. They didn't droop at all, so loaded them in.
And had my helper by my side at all times.
