PaulG 2019

No grow log for the 2018 season other than the Pimenta de Neyde x Bonda Ma Jacques
thread dedicated to Trippa's cross. That one is an ongoing community project going into
second year and a test of the F7 generation. I imagine I will mention it once-in-a-while in
this thread, but the details of its progress will be in the dedicated thread.
 
I am deciding on a grow list for the 2019 season after growing only Trippa's cross this
season (2018). I definitely have some old favorites that will comprise the great majority
of the grow. I have limited space, so I'm counting on nature to help me make the final
decision. I'll probably start lots of seeds since I'm gun-shy from the poor germination
rates the past couple of seasons.
 
Here's the pool. Would be nice to be able to grow a bunch of all of them!  I think my
neighbor will shelter the overflow in his yard, but we'll see what to plant and how many
based on what might germinate  :rofl:
 
c. chinese - 10 varieties
  • PdN x BMJ, F7, white and violet varieties, Trippa's cross
  • Fatali, F2 of seed from Pepper Joe's
  • 7 Pot Burgundy, brown phenotype, pecan shape from 2017 F2 of the 7PB from Windchicken 
  • Scotch Bonnet, MoA, F2 of seeds from John/Sim, not high production, but some nice pods
  • JA Red Habanero, F5 of seed from Walk Good/Devv
  • Yellow Scorpion, F7 aka Yellow Trinidad Moruga Scorpion and CARDI Scorpion, from Spankycolts plant 2012
  • Bhut Jolokia, Red, F4, from Spankycolts plant 2012
  • Bhut Jolokia, Chocolate, F3 of seed from Georgia Growhead
  • Bhut Jolokia, hybrid, F2 - I believe it is a  (BJred) x (Pdn x BMJ F1 or F2)
  • Yellow 7 Pot, F2 of seed from Trippa 2013
c. annuum - 4 varieties:
  • JA Red Mushroom, F3, brown phenotype, seed from Refining Fire
  • Pimenta de Padron - Spanish seed, fry up while small and green, throw on some salt
  • Pimenta del Piquillo - Spanish seed, sweet, very flavorful, small stuffers
  • Guindilla - Spanish seed, spicy heat, great pickled, long and skinny
c. frutescens - 2 varieties:
  • Nagahari from Tezpur, India, supposedly very, very hot freebie from Pepper Joe's 2017
  • Chili Costa Rica, F2 (2014) from Hippy Seed Company seed, 2012
c. pubescens - 1 variety:
  • Red Rocoto, F3 of Peruvian Market seed, 2016
That about does it. Seeding time will be here before we know it!

Really like to see you growing out lines you like. So easy to replace it with something new. I'll probably say it 10 more times in this glog but good stuff!!
  
Thanks for the kind words, Brandon
You are right, there are too many tempting
varieties and crosses to consider.

Beautiful plants PaulG, especially the overwinters but why the isolation bag if indoors?
Just trying the bag out to see how it goes before
it gets real. Plus the Little F5 is coming into
flower, and I dont want backcrossing.

Good going!
Nice spread of plants you have there. From seedlings to OW's to crosses.
Enough to keep you busy. Enjoy it.
Thanks for the kind words, Jacques.
 
I have enjoyed this season, getting back
to growing out more than one variety, like
last year's F6 PdNxBMJ grow.
 
It's funny, I never thought of the F7s as OWs.
I just started the seed as a test (dismal results)
in November, and decided to keep the few that
sprouted given the horrible percentage of
germination.  But, I guess that's what they are!

I've been using non-diluted fish emulsion on my Sri Lankas... They love the extra low ph

Nice going Paul .
Thanks, Sandy.
 
Luck has been on my side, so far  ;)
 
I love the exotic-sounding nature
of your grow. Can't wait to see some
more of the wilds this season! Hope
it's a great one for you.

Looking fantastic Paul!
 
Thanks for looking in, B, and for the kind words.
 
I'm looking forward to seeing how you do this in
