Good on ya Chuck, we're pullin' for ya!

Dang Chuck! now that's a list!

Good luck with it and don't kill yourself over it

I'm already making giveaway plans, due to way too many plants. And I cut my list short at planting...LOL But growing them is way fun

Thanks Randy. I'm feeling it already. This warm weather has got me pumped. I'm growing your 3 year old Scorpion? I believe.

Your right Terry. I like the T8's. I put 6500k bulbs in them. The plants are loving them even more.

Thank you Sir! My plan is to isolate as many as I can.

Yes Scott, I'll try and take your advise and not die before I see pods. I'll have some giveaways as well. I'm going to keep them until plant out. They are easy to manage now, but wait until a couple weeks from now. Then it's a frantic transplant extravaganza. Got my led light ready for them.

Well today I tilled the garden. Weird, Its only February. I tilled it anyway. Taking advantage of the warm weather. Get some air in there and let it dry a couple days. This weekend I'll cover with a load or two of compost. Then I'm going to cover the hoophouse and build some walls. I will till once more and make rows with plastic mulch. That should warm the ground. I'm still wanting to get plants in the house mid to late March. That will be 6 weeks earlier than usual. I'm sure Winter will be back with vengeance. Not going to be ignorant when it comes to weather in Colorado.

I got all the plants under the 8's. Transplanted the aerobabies to soil. NO SHOCK! WooHoo! Not letting them go to long this year. A month is perfect! I'm holding back from firing up all three. Cleaned it up and put it back on the shelf. I'll have more photos in time, but right now these should suffice. What's a GLOG without pics. LOL!

All are looking sweet , chuck ! wishing you best of luck on this years grow , :party:

stickman · Feb 14, 2017

Hey Chuck, you got it goin' on fer sure! Looks like you'll beat me to transplant since in 6 weeks our ground will likely still be half-frozen, but as soon as it can be worked I'll do soil prep and lay down the IRT.

Keep up the great work!

bpiela · Feb 14, 2017

Curious how the BBG Clusters are doing? The only cool pictures I have seen of these are on the Buckeye Pepper site. Also, what is the BBG Apocalypse? Is that just the obvious cross? That sounds pretty awesome.

Devv · Feb 14, 2017

looking good Chuck! Both the plants and soil. It's all in the prep...This is going to be your year!

We shall see Rick. I just know Winter will be back. It dropped to 25 last night. Suppose to 23 tonight and 53 high tomorrow. Those are some great seeds you received from Charles. What a stand up guy.

Hey Ben! The Cluster is a new one for me. I first saw it in Justin's garden. The seeds came from him. They are hanging in there. The BBG Apocalypse from what I've found is indeed Apocalypse x (BBGxSRTSL). I'm pretty sure that is the one I'm growing. I would have to check my notes.

Thanks Scott. Going with a load of compost this week and a load of composted wood chips next week. Dang I need to grab some soil samples to send to local extension. Need to know how my soil is doing after sitting all Winter. If it's high on the ph scale, I'll add peat or something. I probably shouldn't over think it, as last year all my plants did excellent. I'm just curious to see what's in the stuff. LOL

randyp · Feb 15, 2017

Good stuff Chuck.You have a huge list compared to me.I have a 3 day spell in the 60's at the end of this week and I think I just may turn my beds over after reading your happenings.

PaulG · Feb 15, 2017

Quite the grow going there, Charles!

Very ambitious and varied - some great
sounding varieties I've never heard of!

dennish · Feb 15, 2017

Great final list and progress in germination Chuck, nice work!

As others have said, I'm sure your 'hoop house' will add a whole new dimension to your grow. Following with interest!

Tell me about it Paul. Some many new varieties in the past few years.

Thanks Dennis. I'm hoping it will improve pod production. You and John are the reason for me building a hoophouse. Seems to work you guys well. I'm so ready.

I'm going to germinate some more this weekend. And damned if I didn't order another BBG cross. Fords got a limited amount of Pumpkin BBG.

Had to go to town. Me and my boy picked up 1 yard of fine compost and 1yard of a little bigger stuff. Will update once I get it in the garden and do some tilling. I will get another yard down the line of the ultra fine for my potting mix. $70 dollars for two yards. They will have a special in a few weeks on their compost. I'll have side boards for the trailer.

Great update Chuck ... you are flying and that BBG Pumpkin look is a winner

Masher · Feb 19, 2017

Sure looks like you are on your way chuck...love those calyx's on those pumkin pods. very cool looking pods.

Happy growing growing bud

bpiela · Feb 19, 2017

I just ordered some of those Orange BBG's as well. They look awesome!
