 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 .

Lots of pods starting to pop for you bud.  Squash on the grill is hard to beat, especially once some heat is added to the mix. 
Thanks Jason. Love me some grilled peppers and veggies !

Looking great as always Jamie!
 Thank you sir Paul and thank you for the awesome sauces
 
stickman said:
Nice looking squash bro'... did you dust it with something else?  Birgits are probably a little bit tame for you... ;)
 
 Rick, of course I had to hit it with some smoked douglah powder :)

Nice harvest Jamie.
 
Everything is looking real good. Next year I am going to have to grow that birgits. It puts out pods like crazy.
 
 Thank you Jeff. The birgit is a great tasting pepper and very easy to grow.

It can be painful waiting for rocotos to set flowers
 
 Thanks Paul . The lava is a beast .

Glad to see the harvests Jamie!
 
Those pubes are tough customers when it come to setting pods down south it seems. I have one pod out of 5 plants. Hang in there, it will happen!
 
 I am thinking I will have to wait until fall Scotty :(

Nice harvest Jamie
 
 Thank you P money !!!!
 
 Been a busy man but found a few minutes last night to take some pics and try the Lava . The pod itself was very thin walled and covered in  oils and placenta . Stomach was a little tore up so I only had a small sliver . But it was enough to tell me this is one hot MoFo! . Smelled very sweet, not floral. Flavor was like a typical 7 pot red . Kind of fruity at first with a hint of typical chinese ,slightly earthy but not overbearing . Like most supers heat took a few seconds to hit . But when it did it was full on tongue and back of throat . I could feel it go down my throat and quickly warmed my stomach , This is a pod for powders or sauces for me . Fresh will and would kick my ass every time  :mouthonfire:

That 7-pot Lava kinda looks like a Butch T. to me Jamie... glad to hear it has a better flavor. Would you say it stacks up the same for heat levels?
 
As usual, everything looks great in your grow. Think you could spare a little warmth for a brother who's down on his luck? ;)
 
Much better tasting than a Butch T to me . Heat I would say very even . Maybe a little hotter and much more placenta . I have more warmth than I know what to do . Sending your way now:) 
 
Few more pics
