romy6 2014

 So I guess it is about damn time I started a grow log! Not a whole lot going on at the ranch  :shh:  but hopefully that will change soon. I grow peppers all year around outdoors. I live on the central east coast of Florida. It has many ups and downs but more ups  :fireball: . Bugs such as mites and aphids are always a problem for me. Over the years I am getting better at diagnosing them at a early stage . This Christmas I was lucky enough to have santa bring me an aerogarden and some how managed to make it's nesting place on my kitchen table. I know this is short lived and I will need to find a safer resting spot for it. Here is a pic of my outdoor operation. Most of these plants are between 8 months or older.

 They look very haggard at the present moment. Lack of sunlight and low humidity will do that. But come spring they better bounce back into action.  :dance:
 
 Here is my little indoor operation. It isn't much but keeps me happy and grows peppers super fast. I planted a 7 pot lava( judy) , borg9( tmudder), yaki blue( nigel via standbyandfire), true cumari ( from judy) , defcon 7 ( tmudder), choc naga x brain ( me,via winchicken, via tmudder), and parsley for the boy :)
 
 First to pop was the 7 pot lava. Few days later the defcon 7. Yaki and borg both popped with helmet heads and I managed to kill them trying to remove. I just added a few more seeds in each pouch .

 Thank you Trista !!!!!!!!!! Hope I can dial the aerogarden in and set the tone for 2014. 
 
 
 Thanks for stopping in Jason. Your weather sounds somewhat similar to mine so I will be following your grow as well. Sounds a little better than mine  :)

Shroom tea i love it.  We would make kool-aid with ours sometimes, this was back in the day as well.
 
 Grape was our flavor of choice :) Nobody said we were smart.

 Thanks Terry . Very proud indeed and super blessed. 
 
 Not much going on at the romy6 ranch. Outdoor plants are really struggling with the cold. I have hardly even paid them much attention. Hopefully I will be able to kick start them one we get some typical weather around here.  Now my aerogarden is loving the setup. Since I started routine water changes and ferts they are greening up and getting big. Had a chocolate nagaxbrain sprout this week as well.

Aerogarden lookin' good, Jamie.  Nice sized plants!
The "OW" plants are doing fine; don't see much to
complain about there all things considered!
 
But those harvest shots from last year?  You did that
just to make me jealous, didn't you?!   :D
 
Seriously, it's all good, brother.  You have a great
continuous grow going.  Good luck with the tea mix.

I like the pod shots ... Even if they are last years ;) nothing like positive reinforcement to remind you what to strive towards ... On you grow!!
 
 Why thank you Trista. Positive reinforcement is a good thing .  :fireball:
 
capsidadburn said:
Dig the historical shots! Why stop with last year though? Been thinking abut a retrospective myself. Got to keep the motivation to a high level!
 
 Could not agree more Mike. Thank you . 
 
Devv said:

 Why thank you Scotty McGee  :party:
 
 Not much happening her in romyville . Outdoor plants look like they have been beat down from all the lack of sun , cold , and nonstop rain. Inside all is rainbow's and lollipops  :rofl:
