Wicked Mike's 2015 Growlog

What's up, pepper people?
 
I've been meaning to do this for ages. Here's the updated grow list for this season, including everything from seeds that haven't sprouted yet to fully mature plants. For some varieties I have only a single plant, for others I have thirty or forty. I'm sure I've left a few out, as well.
 
The stuff I'm intending to sell is either in 4" or one gallon; the stuff I'm going to be growing for production or cloning will be in nothing smaller than 5 gallon; I'm aiming for 15 gal and higher.
 
My germination mix is currently four parts coco coir, two parts Black Kow, one part perlite. So far, this has worked really well for me. My germination mix is now just coco coir and perlite, in a roughly 50/50 mix. 
 
My grow mix is Canadian peat, Black Kow, a mix of prilled fertilizers, perlite, and a few other minor tweaks. Canadian peat, composted bark, prilled fertilizers, perlite.
 
As pest control goes, I'm struggling with chilli thrips in a major way, although everything else seems to be under control. Everything is cool.
 
I'm also collaborating with a local nurseryman with more than forty years' experience in the field and staggering resources and contacts. More on that as the season progresses.
 
It's been a very rough season so far. I started my seeds back in June, and it's been an uphill battle against damping off, whitefly, and thrips. Unfortunately, our winter hasn't been very cooperative down here in Miami; while I keep hearing about how unseasonably cold it is in other parts of the country, our daytime temperatures have stayed in the mid-eighties and our nighttime temps have mostly been in the mid-seventies.
 
Anyway, as of 05/24/15, here's what I've got going on here on the homestead.

Mike, you are so right about educating. Many things cannot be learned in a classroom or from books and literature. You will find, hopefully, that you have impacted many of those young lives further down the road. What a blessing and encouragement you are! Very enriching!! We certainly need more of you to work with our youth.

Jigsaw Gator, one of Romy6's creations. He named it that because he's an FSU fan.
Rocotos aren't loving that Miami in July heat and chile thrips to boot, but they're alive.

It's one of Judy's new offerings. I've borrowed her picture to repost here so you can see what it looks like ripe because, well, she's Judy and I know she wouldn't mind so long as due credit is being given.
 
 
Mike, do your Pimenta de Neyde change color? Mine look very similar to yours and I have read that they do not change color. How do you know when they are ripe and ready to harvest?


Your pods look spectacular, how is that Inca Red Drop?
 
Everything looks fantastic! Great phenotype on the chocolate reaper. I'm also in love with that orange primo. It's good to see that somebody is growing Armageddon this year. I haven't heard too much about it lately. You do great work!

-Adam
 
We all knew someone was going to do it but WOW at that MOABrain. Congrats on that one. Please post more pod pics so we can see if it holds up. Great job, Mike!
 
spectacular, but I'm not surprised because you of all people can pull it off.
