@OP, "three thousand plants"...damn...cant wait to see some pics...

Woah looks great my man! Following this for sure

That is a heck of a list, I'm sure it will be a nice season

THREE THOUSAND?!
 
And I thought I had issues.... 
 

 
 
Please post some pictures of the jungle!  

Damn Mike is all go big or go home!

That's a whole lot of heat right there.

Sounds like you will be well prepared to mix up some nice spices and sauces this coming year.

How many acres does it take to grow 3000 + plants?
 
Sounds like a full time job, killing off aphids, stomping voles, wrestling alligators and trapping black bears.

As it happens, it IS my full-time job! I quit my previous job this year to partner with John DeMott, a veteran nurseryman with over 300 acres and forty years in the business. The majority of what I'm growing will be sold as plants, although we're also going to be growing out pods in order to facilitate a line of products. And as pests go, nothing I'd ever grown prepared me for the uphill battle against thrips I've been waging. Think I've finally got 'em on the ropes, though.

Oh, before I forget...that's just my PEPPER growlist...I'm doing a bunch of other stuff too, particularly tomatoes, and it's looking like it's going to be a ridiculous year for passionfruit.

Will post pics when I get the chance, but it doesn't look as impressive as it sounds. Most of what I've got going is six inches in height or less.

Additionally, here's what I've got going down at the nursery, recently bumped up to 4-6" pots:

15 Trinidad Perfume
30 SB7J
35 CARDI Red
35 CARDI Yellow
55 Congo Yellow
55 CGN 21500
45 Rainforest
415 Venezuelan Tiger
A few Morugas

Good Lawd that's a lot of peppers!!!
Keep us posted on which plants sell out faster over there. 

Hey Mike looking good buddy,nice grow list,certainly enough to keep you busy.Pests,I hate those tiny critters(aphids,thrip,caterpillars etc.)Good luck!!!

 To be honest, I have a feeling the sweets and milds are going to be the bigger sellers, hence planting four hundred and some Venezuelan Tigers.

Thanks for all the well wishes, folks. So far, so good!

For sure they will, they have wider target groups and uses than superhots. Keep us updated Mike i like how you do this for a living on a huge scale. Interested in after logistics like finding buyers and distribution and alike after the growing is done.
