STEVE954 Grow Log

Hello from south florida. This year's grow started just after thanksgiving when sowed several different strains of scotch bonnet. After many attempts, I finally got my hands on some scotch bonnet seeds from the Jamaican Ministry of Agriculture!

I was going to make you some with the pods you will be giving me. I think you’ll really like it as our #1 & I loved the scotch bonnet flavor in a dip. As you know my plants are just starting their next round of pod production, I probably won’t have enough to make dips & sauces for a few weeks. At least the mites are dead, long live the dead mite situation ... thank the pepper Jah and a little elbo greese :D


lol, I can mix you a batch of mine but I’d rather help you start your own batch, it’s easy. I’ll be beach side next to the Clipper this coming Saturday for beach soccer, why don’t you meet me down there with a few plastic bags and I’ll help you get started and show you why it’s so good, dat seaweed is filled with life!!! PS don’t forget to wear a bathing suit, you’ll get wet … heck why not bring the wife. Hillary, and Charles. My wife and our #2 will be there with me, #1 might but I doubt it, he's become a home body since swim racing is over …

BTW love dat stinger look :)

Cool pod shot. Do you get many pods off the TFM's ? Mine are all low growing and pod up better towards the end of the season.

Thanks Greg,

3 of the 5 TFM plants have been late to mature and are not that productive, however, I have one superstar TFM plant(where all of my pod pics come from), that has has been producing pods likea beast since May 2012. Its the one on the right

Woohoo. Well wasnt sure if there would even be mail today. That my friend is an FDA scotch Bonnet. It is a clone. Why just seeds right. ?! Those sB seeds are from Greg (a scotch bonnet master). I have those plants already growing and I'm confident in. My grow to share seeds. I have learned in THP to share not because you expect something back in return. Rather to share the heat and knowledge. Happy growing and hope the seedling recovers. I should've put it in a bigger shaker.
 
Gentlemen, I apologize for snapping pics with addies. Over excitement! Noob mistake.

Denniz, the clone has a very strong root ball(unlike I've ever seen)!Top leaves a bit waterIogged from the journey. Trimmed it down for faster recovery!

It was very kind of you to send. I will keep you updated on the growth.
 
Met up with Ramon this afternoon! Yesterday we had a meeting at "the spot" to exchanged some pods, plantains and some chicken schmit!

Oh, and a bottle of WalkGood's Seaweed tea!

I’m happy your better half enjoyed, many things take our time and attention in our lives, but Family is key so if mama is happy da birds be singing ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪


So keep mama happy mon ;)

Edit: I can get over how orange you made my tea look ... check your cam manual for white balance and that should help correct all your pics ... it looks seriously brown when I shoot it.
 
I know. I'm horrible with the camera!

2 weeks ago during the "broad mite plague"(claimed 80% of crop) I pruned this MoA SB.

Here is last weeks progress

Jamison said:
Its funny how fast them things grow once established eh? That new growth still looks a bit twisted. Any signs of mites still?
Click to expand...

Yes. Broad mites are still around. Not nearly as bad, still here none the less.

Either keep hitting them with the h2o2 or just buc up and get the bonide!
 
Got those TFM seeds today. Man the postman charged you an arm and a leg. Must be the old non-machineable, too stiff excuse. Thanks a lot for sending them though. Can't wait to get them sowed.

Sorry about your critter problem. Hope your plants make a full recovery.

Your TFM pods look amazing! That's what a SB should look like! Good luck! DEATH TO ALL BROADMITES!!!!!
