SmashBurn Grow Log - 2017

Here's my 2017 Grow Log.

This year I added insulation, heat, and a 600 watt HPS light to my Sunroom/Greenhouse. Expecting much better results this year. I'm in Tacoma WA so we get pretty chilly at night, all year round, so this will really help. In fact it was 18 deg this morning.

 
So far I have Peach Ghost, Fatalii Red, Yellow & Chocolate, Star of Turkey, Chocolate Bhutlah, Bahamian Goat, Red Savina Hab, White Naga, Gator Jigsaw & Devils Tongue started. I also have a bunch of other seeds and will be starting another round soon (hopefully this weekend).

 
My original planting was back on Dec 5th, so it's going nicely so far.

I've learned the same about peppers, if you set them out too early they don't die, they just stop. And then they don't do nearly as well through the rest of the season. An example: I can set tomatoes out March 1st, peppers have to wait until April 1st. A hard lesson to learn

The whole shebang as of today! I love my Greenhouse setup .. spend a lot of time just hanging out in here listening to tunes. Still have the TW Lemon Drops and Datils in the baggies but that's it .. uhmmm .. well .. errr ... until I plant more .. but that will be it Maybe

Hey! 3 for 3 sprouts with tri-cotyledons .. didn't stettoman say that would bring luck, fame, fortune .. something ..

My first planting is really coming along nicely. Here's a few closeups:

Transplanted 9 into 6" pots today and started my last batch of seeds .. really, this is it, no exceptions. My TW Aji Lemon Drops are now 11/12 up and looking good. I expect #12 to show soon. Awesome Germ rates this year. However there might be a little issue with available space .. uhmm .. well here:

Thanks! Really worked on their 'environment' this year. Still doing daily battle with the darn Aphids but seem to be staying ahead of them so far. Ugh! Hate Aphids!!

 

[Devv]

Nice! I like it!
 
Keep doing what you're doing

 

[Smashburn]

Well, now that everything is planted here's what I ended up with. It is far more than I have room for. A few are a bit runt-ish so I can axe them if need be. 
 
I planted 6 of each seed except where noted otherwise, the /# is the number of plants I ended up with. 6/4 means planted 6 and have 4 growing.

Number of my plants are doing something I am unfamiliar with, the newer top leaves are looking kinda 'bubbly'. The tips seem to curl down under as well. They look fantastic and healthy except for this. Ideas??

Carolina Reapers in the Dehydrator .. Mmmmmm. Also some Super Chilis I dried and ground .. really great 'mild' pepper that really produces.

Mmmm indeed!  I had some dried reapers last night.  Supers look tasty too!

Thanks, I have to dry them out in the Sunroom/Greenhouse .. Kathy can't stand the smell, especially the Reaper/Scorpion etc .. She loves the Fatalii and Ghost (if I keep it kinda mild) The fruity sweet peppers.
 
I just walked back in the Sunroom and it about knocked 'me' down! wow! pungent for sure. Had a massive sneeze attack .. but I loved it .. Next I have Naga Vipers and Scorpions .. got to get these out of the freezer, I'm going to have a big crop this year!!  Yay!

I have a few plants doing this as well....after some intense image searching i found a site saying it's lacking in phosphorus..bone meal was suggested to add to the soil.
 
I cannot verify if this is true....still searching for info.
 
I will be adding bone meal to the next up potting though.
 
good luck and success to you and your grow

More transplanting today. 35 now in 6" pots. Still battling severe Aphid issues but looking good overall. Still have 64 plants in 3" Jiffy pots and about a dozen starts to transplant. Also have 9 tomato plants, Sweet 100s & Romas, and 4 Bell Peppers as well. Should be an awesome year!

Remember bone meal breaks down slowly, so it
won't kick in for the plant right away.  I usually
put it in my containers 6-8 weeks before plant-out
to give it a head start.  How about some Cal-Mag
solution also while it's breaking down? Or some
other more rapidly available calcium supplement.

I think your plants are looking great! Whatever you do, don't over think the nutrients. I'm sure a good quality all rounder would do just fine. It could also be to do with light and may not require fixing.

 

[Smashburn]

Loving the Greenhouse today! 3" of snow outside and a toasty 66 deg in here.

Here's my crazy Fatalii Yellow from last season that apparently will not go quietly into the night. When all the other plants finished producing and stopped flowering, I tossed them. I don't have room to OW that many. I set this Fatalii out with them and it suddenly started flowering again .. like lots of flowers. So I got it back inside before the next freeze. That was probably Oct. It kept flowering, lots just falling off, and then started setting peppers. I wasn't sure it would pollinate by itself, but it did. Now it has at least 12 peppers, some quite large. Very exciting!! It's across the room from the HPS light so is mostly getting the T8 light, but is looking and producing wonderfully.

Wow, another great week of growth. Look at the size of the leaves on this Bahamian Goat! Just over 8 weeks from seed. I'm 6' 2" and have big hands!  Just saying!

And the dense growth at the top of the Star of Turkey is awesome.
