That's a heck of a list to chose from, and all the Bhuts promise a LOT of heat down the road.  :onfire:
 
The Sugar Rush baccatum is new to me.  Have you grown them before?

Actually I think they were sourced from Scorched
 
Grow list updated.  I got another T5 light yesterday, going to set up my germination station and soak/plant seeds today...pics and/or a video coming soon!
 
EDIT: I see that my grow list pic is kind of small that people might have trouble reading it, I'll fix that at a later time
 
Just noticed that you had "chocolate" reaper on your list. Is that Dale's one? I've been curious as to whether anyone had gotten/bought seeds and grown it out and what the results were. I haven't seen any posts here on THP about it in awhile. I've been really curious what the verdict is.
 
Oh and I've been checking out the ytube vids, very nice. I'll say one thing. I'm envious as hell at the skill you have on the electric. I think those 2 vids are my favorite even though I went there for the horticulture vids.

The chocolate reaper did come from Fakers I got them in a seed trade.
 
Here we go again, nice list and great start Rich like the double cup method. I too was gonna ask about the Sugar Rush pepper, be cool to see a picture of this pepper. I am a big fan of the baccatum, curious to see what come from the "fakers" choclate reaper too. Hopefully it doesnt morph into a bell pepper...lol.
 
Now lets see whats happening in the aquaponics!
 
Cheers! :cheers:
 
      Great vid! I'm always interested to see what other successful gardeners use for soil mixes. I'm trying my first attempt at a full organic grow this year, so every recipe gives me perspective on what I'm doing. 
     Do you find incubating soil mix to be unnecessary? I made a mix similar to yours, wet it down with compost tea and let it sit in a tub on a heat mat for about a month to let the microbes do their thing and cycle up the nutrients I added. (More details are in my glog.) Lemme know what you think.
     I'm definitely interested to see how our grows compare this season. Our gardening techniques and philosophies seem to be pretty much in line (except for scale  :shocked: ). Keep teachin' and I'll keep watchin'!
 
Alright just a seedling shot, things are speeding up, many of my first starts are getting true leaves already and I'm going to finish up the rest of the seeds hopefully today.  Most of what has come up so far has 100% germination rates, which surprises the hell out of me.

Also, whoever crossed the 7 Pot Barrackpore X CGN21500 that I ended up getting, those things are supercharged, and they have a nice purple accent around the leaves.
 
In the meantime it's 13ºF outside so we've got this going.

I've never thought to incubate soil, mainly because when the moist soil heats up under the light I think it does fine.  Maybe I'll try it with a batch in my second round next month to see if the results are any different.  Also, I'm starting the S. dulcamara and S. integrifolium today as well so they can catch up to the rest of my solanums.

I'll get a more in depth video with the progress of my aquaponics soon, I already have a lettuce tray built that goes right into the fish tank but I haven't installed it yet
 
Great list - some interesting Baccatums.  I had read of the Sugar Rush and wanted to know more about it.  I'll be eager to see how it does for you.  The Orchid is cool as well.  
Better save seeds!
 
Can't improve on that germination rate! :D
 
Looking good! 
On incubating..cooking...mellowing...ageing....soil. The way I understand it, many organic fertilizers may not release their nutrients into water solubility until processed by micros and fungi, and other  thingies. However, I think if the soil mix has a significant wide spectrum "kitchen waste" compost component  with some other slow release kicking in later, you'd be ok with seedlings up to a month or two and by then of course the slow release should be kicking in. I could see a problem with un-incubated soil being used when up-potting a plant close to flowering/fruiting stage. The larger plant is going to have higher available nute demands. Another problem could arise if a particular organic nute had demands of its own while breaking down, thus competing with the plant. If in doubt a little of something with 3-4% available N and maybe a shot of seaweed juice to make sure for everything else.  I've made a lot of bad potting mediums over the years. Once I started using some basic mixing guidelines and ageing the soil for a month I haven't had a bad batch.
 
Hey everyone, I haven't been on the site much but I wanted to post some grow progress

Thai Prik Ki Nu.....less than 2 months old and already budding (lol)

C. eximium  very slow growing plant, I don't know if that's normal or ?  This plant is almost 5 months old and is still tiny
20150217_091306_zpsjiirzebe.jpg

 
These are all various C. baccatum I believe
