Scorched 2015 Grow

Hello everyone (if anyone is even reading  :) ). I know I've started this a little late but I finally decided to get around to it. This is my very first year starting from seed and my first year with such a large grow. Over the past 15 years or so I've always ordered seedlings from CCN or gotten them from a nursery and only ever around 40 plants at the most. It was always jalapenos or habaneros until the Red Savina came along. I actually did grow 10 of those from seed when they were released. A few years later the ghost chile made its debut and things have just exploded since then. That was when I went from growing maybe a dozen plants to 30 or 40 each year. Have No complaints with CCN and always had a great experience and great plants that always grew true. While researching some plant issues last year I found this place and was hooked. Never knew so many varieties existed! CCN has a nice selection of super hots but when I started reading this forum I was just stunned at what was out there. So I decided this year I would grow from seed since I would be able to try all the varieties I wanted to try this way. Started buying sfrbs of pods and saving the seed, buying seed from awesome vendors (going to have an entire section just for Judy's varieties), seed trains and trading.
 
My setup is simple. Just t8 lights with 6500k bulbs and two shelving units. I had planned on using t5s at first but didn't realize the cost and since I needed so many lights just wasn't going to happen. I figure I'll replace a few lights per year with t5s. The t8s are doing a great job so I can't complain. I'll be growing in containers, and a couple of raised beds that I will soon be putting together. I'll probably have a few in the ground as well, we'll see how it goes once plant out gets here.
 
Unfortunately pics in the glog won't be anything great. I'm using a shitty old Dell Studio laptop that has issues when I try to hook a digital camera up to it. So I'll be using my Ipod touch to upload pics since it connects to the laptop with no probs. Enough with the rambling. Here's my grow list:

I think that's just about everything. A few plants are unlisted and will remain that way. Thank you to those of you who were awesome enough to share seeds with me. Really excited about this year's grow. Thanks for reading!

Impressive list.  Good luck with all those.  Can't imagine filling that many containers or maintaining them throughout the year.  Our history sounds similar.  I did start from seed years ago, but also did a fair amount of business with CCN.  Never had a problem with them either.  Always healthy plants that grew true.  Hadn't started from seeds in 6 or 7 years and while deciding to start some chocolate habs again last year, quickly realized how much things had changed in the few years.   Now my 10 - 15 plants a year is up to 10x that.

We are like twins...exactly how my setup looks lol 
 
I did try and set mine up like yours. I read through all your previous glogs before I got started and it looked like something I could do and had the right space for. Liked your glog since we both have the same weather and plant out time for the most part. Thanks for the idea, it has worked out great.
 
I need to take some updated pics this week. They've grow nicely since I gave them a good feeding with fish and kelp ferts a few days ago. In the meantime some more pics.
 
Feeding them this for now at half strength

Will these go in the ground, or in pots?  Looking very healthy!
 
I'm building two raised beds before spring that some will go into. Others will go into 5 or 10 gallon containers and Walmart bags. I'll probably put a few right into the ground as well. Figure I've got the room to do it so why not go big. Many of the ones in pots/bags will go onto a flat trailer that I can push into the garage when bad weather comes round. I can fit probably 35 or 40 plants on it. I'll use this for the plants I really want to protect.
 
So I've been wondering whether to top/prune or not. I did some pruning last year and it did look like I got good results but not 100% positive. It looks like people are split when it comes to doing this. Some swear by it and some swear it only works if you have a short growing season and it hurts yield in the long run. I've read the back and forth here on THP as well as other places and both sides make good arguments. So I've decided that since I've got such a large grow that I will experiment a bit. Some plants I will top, some I will prune, some just pinch new growth, some prune from the fork down and the rest leave to nature. At the end of the grow season I'll see if any one way works better than another or if leaving them alone is the best way.
 
And now for some pics

Sorry for the crappy pics. The plants look like they're sickly using this Ipod to take pics. Looking to get a decent point and shoot to take better pics. Not much to see right now but would love to have better pics once pods are coming on.
 
Thanks for taking a look
 
Yea those all are looking great, that's a hell of a list and crap ton of solo cups. that CGN-21500 cross looks good. Really enjoying all these crosses with it. I'm planning on crossing it with white fatalii and a few other things. Following along.
