Jason's first glog 2017 (Aus)

Have been thinking about starting a glog for a while but last years disaster of a season put me off a bit.. fast forward to 2017 and things are looking up! So here goes..

First up I would like to thank jcw10 (Justin) for sorting out the majority of my seeds, as well as Cloudhand (Tom) for his generosity and The Hippy Seed Compony for their usual great service.

30. White Bullet Habanero - The Chilli Factory
31. Aji Jobito - THSC + jcw10
32. Orange Manzano - Bunnings (believe it or not!)

So far I'm happy with the progress of my plants. I have very limited space and money so taking a mostly hands off approach. Some of the plants here germinated in mid September but already have fruit on them so very happy with that.

Anyway it's pic time.. first up my chilli patch.

Red Cap Mushroom is a cool shaped Anuum doing great

Yellow Tabasco (pretty sure this is actually an Anuum too

Choc Hab, beautiful plant, lots of flowers few fruit though

Baby Morich - this is the C. Chinense pheno of Tabasco x Naga Morich. This one is unique as it produces fat juicy pods. I have sent seeds back to THSC to grow out and hopefully they get the same pheno as its awesome and really productive too!

Tabanaga - this is a Tabasco x Dorset Naga by THSC

Orange Primo x BOC F2 from jcw10 looking scary!

Bahamian Goats loving the shape of these ones..

Cumari Do Para a bit bigger than I expected but that's a good thing I reckon

Aji Pineapple doing good

Joe's long cayenne is a magnet for grubs, already lost two huge fruit but I think I got them under control lol

Jamaican SB yellow but this is an Anuum. Has nice fruity taste but unfortunately thin skin. My biggest plant the pic doesn't do it justice

White bullet Hab got some fruit happening

Brazilian starfish is so tall and lanky

7pot Congo SR gigantic on the left and Aji Margeriteno on the right. Just under four months old and beginning to flower, fingers crossed I get pods on these soon.

7pot yellow woohoo!

Choc Hab on my left and Hawaiian (frutecense) on my right


Hopefully I have plenty more pics of peppers to come :)

Hi Jason.
 
Thanks for sharing.  I will be a first time pepper grower this season in Florida.  My intended growing area (east side of house) is very similar in size and shape to yours with house and fence on either side.  I wanted to know about how much sun you're getting considering the house and the fence.  I am a little concerned that my area might be a little too shady although I havent used a light meter to establish any solid numbers.
 
Good luck with your grow and I look forward to following your progress.
 
Cheers,
 
Rick
 
Lovely healthy plants .... The Jamaican Yellow Annumm is often mistaken or sold as a Scotch Bonnet more commonly known as the "Jamaican Mushroom" nice flat topped pods though. The Primo x BOC from Justin certainly looks mean

All the very best for your season
 
Awesome looking plants and very healthy indeed, great to see them all loading up, Boc x primo is one of the hottest pods iv ever had in my mouth :hot: keep up your good work.
 
Thanks for the compliments guys much appreciated!

Harbday, I had the same concerns too. My plants only get 4 hours of full sunlight every day from around 9am to 1pm and I thought it wouldn't be enough. Turns out it's plenty but it does get hot here too.
 
Your plants are looking great.  Is that white plastic around black pots?  I need to do something like that for my black pots.
 
Yeah it's there to keep the pots from heating up too much in the sun. Definitely makes a difference and helps to keep moisture in.
 
Great looking plants Jase, good to see another Aussie representative with a big grow. Are you some sort of mechanic by trade? Those hands look like they're not afraid to get dirty.  :P
 
Nice looking fence btw.  :dance:
 
 
SR.
 
 
 
Hi Shorerider, lol I'm a gardener/maintenance person so yeah hands get dirty a lot.

Got a bit of spare time for an update this morning..

Baby Morich throwing out lots of random shapes and beginning to ripen now

Tabanaga podding up really well, didn't get a single fruit off this OW plant last year so must have learned from my mistakes

Papa Dreadie SS leaves are huge! Actually this whole plant is really solid with a really fat trunk

Orange Primo x BOC starting to get bumpy. Producing heaps of pods I'm really happy with it. Think I might trick someone else into tasting it first though lol

This Joe's long is gonna look cool when it's huge and ripe..

LocalFart, Micca if you guys are reading this these are yours.. the fig is mine though!

Starting to pick a few each day of Red cap Mushroom and Yellow Tabasco


Cheers
 
Happy Australia Day!!!! Shame I'm working all day and all night but oh well.

I now have 7Pot burgundy, Aji Margeriteno and Red Nagabrains starting to pod up. I'll post pics when they are worth looking at.
 
Happy holiday Jase hope your having a good one, the old saying is if you grow it you have to eat it , so you get one of the first ripe Orange Primo x BOC and give it a munch ;) :crazy:
 
its only a pepper . :D
 
Thanks guys!

I know I have promised my wife that I would try them all for her entertainment lol. I do need to try all the varieties I'm growing since they are for sauces and those that don't make the cut won't be grown again.

Oh and add Papa Dreadie SS to the list of pods forming woohoo
