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!

Deseeded the pods in post 1033 today.

These Purple Thunder interiors caught my eye.

Interesting.  They look almost squash-like.

Oh wow, juicy looking inside combined with a fascinating color! [emoji2] Is it the lighting, or does the pod on the right look like it might have an orange spot on it; i.e could it be at all possible its final color ends up being orange?? Just hypothesizing, and maybe should stop browsing posts after a Sunday night beer... :drunk:

Those pods are the final color LP. The base color
is sort of burnt orange but the sun colors the pods
dark to produce that golden color. Dont know if the
rest of the pods will be that way. They are way more
bumpy than those smooth pods.

Browsing with brew. Doesnt get much better, eh!
 
The Costeño Amarillo, a Oaxacan landrace variety.
This strain from SoCalChilihead back in the day is
a better one than the NMSU variety. Much rangier
growth with prodigious branching and podding up.
Also, the pods are longer, more slender, and pointed.
A much more pleasing plant than the NMSU variety
I grew a few seasons ago.
 
Pods start out erect, then become pendant:

Traded the F7-1 and a few pods for eight tall #15
nursery pots. Will swap them for the 18 gallon utility
containers which are sun damaged to the point of
falling apart this Fall.

A few Scotch Bonnet runts have ripened up.
On the left, Beth Boyd. One decent phenotype there.
On the right SB7J, which has produced nuttin but runts:

Are those SB7J pods normal? My first time growing.
