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!

No reason you can't have both  :cheers:
Maybe I'll just settle for 'ring'  :rofl:
 
Although I do like Coronas!    :D
 
 
 
 
 
Snuck in another one. Gotta keep a better
eye on those numbers   ;)

nice looking tomatoes, I've never had that type. how do you like them?
Big and Beefy early fruit, Mild flavor.
The big ones are great sliced with some salt,
or a little Mozzarella and Basil.
 
Heaven on a burger. Practically a sandwich in iteself!  :drooling: 
 
my tomato plants have been hit or miss the last few years.  finally got around to using the cal-mag spray and now they are doing better. so hopefully on this last push I can get enough to can for the winter,

In any case, it must be genetic, i.e. the toughness
of the fibers composing the ring. Weather conditions
could then dictate how it plays out in the real world.
I like the look of the 'mushroom' pods   :D  
I've never seen that before... Until I looked at my ow 7pod caramel today. None of my plants ever did that.

Nice looking pods Paul. Those Scotch Bonnets look really tasty.
Thanks, Uros. They are a new one for me.
 
podz said:
That Yellow BrainStrain is real cool, too!
I agree, there are some great pods coming off that one.
Should have a pic of a few later today.
 
Hope all is well, Mika.
 
Devv said:
Nice color there Paul. I'm glad to see you're getting some produce ;)
 
Thanks, Scott. Finally some action in that department!
 
We are going to be out of town for a bit, so there should
be some great color when we return. My son and my
neighbor will be watching over things for me. Hope all
the pods don't ripen and rot before we get back!
 
There are about a half-dozen monster JA Red Habaneros ripening up.
I love this strain. Thanks to WalkGood for bringing it back from Jamaica.
I got some of the seed from both he and Devv at the same time, so I don't
remember which I used.

it is hard to be patient waiting for the Bhut Jookia, chocolate variety, to ripen.
They seem to take forever.
