Greetings everyone ! Just got my season underway here in Portland Oregon after sitting out while just tinkering a bit the past few seasons. This year is different in that I'm not growing out as many plants or strains as in the past. It was tough to resist that little voice that wispers what about this pepper or that strain or how about that cool cross so and so sent you but I seeded 72 rooters and managed to fight off that temptation .. well almost . I was gonna only grow 2 strains and 1 cross but while digging out my cross seeds I ran across some Jays Peach Bhuts which I had to include because the only other time I tried them the seeds sent me were crossed. These come from John Ford and he's never let me down in the past, but that was it ! And that was strictly a principle thing just didn't want that strain to get the best of me lol.
The scale back was due to a few things, first I'm growing primarily to make my hot sauce which I never have enough of. I can sell as much of it as I make. Secondly my growing space is small and with so many strains you tend to end up with many crossed seeds, I want to attempt to keep things as pure as possible, more on that later in the season. So I chose my favorite, a curiosity, a bad assed cross and the afore mentioned Peach Bhut. Here's the line up.
30 Primos from Primos peppers .. My favorite
24 Reapers from Puckerbutt .. curious to see how different is it REALLY from the Primo
12 of a cross that I believe was between a Reaper and a Jigsaw though not sure for now we're tentatively calling this Ripsaw it is a bumpy hot bastard I mean HOT! I have never tryed to grow out a cross so wanted to try.
6 Peach Bhuts .. reason stated above
So here's my humble beginning
Hers a pic of a Green Ripsaw a friend of mine grew out from some seeds I gave him, he had some red pod pics but lost them with his phone. I never thought to take pics of the few I had. He is growing out 18 I think, will keep you all updated may also have some questions along the way
Well that's it for now will update this as often as I can .. life you know .. It's busy .. seems like I'm always at work. I wish you all a GREAT season and hope to catch up with some old timers over the next few months
