The Hot Pepper · Sep 26, 2017

Oh the Red Savina(r) days...

Grillcheese · Sep 26, 2017

So my Black Panther decided to do a double AND triple pepper on the same plant.

My Reaper is NOT a Reaper....again....it was the fastest seedling..then stalled...then went bonkers...

Full plant pics are roughly 1 week apart....except the last..thats most recent

Edit: Forgot the Reaper pepper pics

I started using milkshake straws to record the date of first pod, isolated, and crossed. Simple, but the earwigs like to hide in them. Saw it online somewhere.

My Aji Verde was first to pod but last to redden (almost 90 days). I started using them this year and they are perfect. I can deal with earwigs.

Well Ontario temperature is definitely better than Quebec and I can grow all superhots ( my reaper are doing extremely well)

Well I'm a little bit cheating with the greenhouse

Good work buddy

I've been keeping an eye on these leaves. These are from my Borg 9 Bleeder. Actually 2 plants in this pot putting out 2 different peppers.

A few pods are ready. Holding out a bit longer.

My Red Fatalii has been this color for 2 weeks.

An Aji Verde turning.

Baby 7 Pot Bubblegum.

My White 7 Pod has veins.

Peach Gum Tiger

7 Pot Bubblegum Chocolate turning.

Group shots.

....and I couldn't figure out how to rotate the pics..sorry

The cold weather has forced me to move indoors a little early. Wife let me take down a wall. The plants on the shelves were brought in about beginning of October. The plants on the floor were brought in on the 13th.

Every Wednesday I have been trying to take a progress pic of all my plants.

And finally I am able to get my fix

And finally some open shots. I'm still waiting for a few more varieties to ripen but so far so good. I've nailed the bug problems and light situation which killed me in previous years. Just have to try to keep these guys going for 6 months? Damn. Like I needed more of a challenge.

Thanks. Wife says I have OCD. I agree with her.

Wow. So here I am, coming out of hibernation. 7 months of fighting bugs and giving weekly soap baths to over 50 plants.

https://imgur.com/23qxxFc

Room was crowded...

https://imgur.com/Tz2gOuK

I tried to put the plants out as soon as I could. Mother Nature said no with an ice storm. Had to bring them back in.

https://imgur.com/LKME1Gt

I added 6mm vapor barrier to the greenhouse to make it warmer. Tuck Tape is my friend. Seems to be working. Temps are about 10 degrees Celsius warmer.

I am pretty excited for my 7 Pot Bubblegum tree. Its about 5 ft tall now.

https://imgur.com/UPxu1xj

So what plants died?...Black Panther, Devils Horns, Paper Lantern, 7 Pod White, Peach Gum Tiger Mamp, Naga Morich F2, Ridgeback V5, Borg 9 Bleeder, Bhutlah, Congo, Jigsaw, Borg 9 Reaper, 7 Pot Bubblegum Chocolate, Reaper, Chocolate Moruga

New entries into those vacant spots are...White Naga, Primo X Butch T, Naga Viper, Naga Brains Red, Moruga Brain Chocolate, Devils Brain, Chocolate Reaper, Black Naga, Big Mustard Mama, Bhutlah Mustard, Apocalypse Chocolate, 7 Pot Brainstrain Chocolate

Once I got everything back into the greenhouse, Mother Nature threw a +90km/h wind storm at me...

https://imgur.com/X4ywWxQ

Surprisingly, NO plants died or were severely damaged. Lucky me. Couple hours later i'm back at it...

https://imgur.com/vj0jc81

Decided to add a back door to the greenhouse..

because temps get a little high...

I know it's amateurish, but hey, it works.

Here are the progress pics since October...I notice the crap color on some photos..they looked good on my phone at the time...

https://imgur.com/a/7iV2Xuw

All of the plants have adjusted way better than I thought they would. I am pretty sure I wont be overwintering this many plants again unless the kids move out. VERY monumental task of pest control.

dragonsfire · May 24, 2018

Again, been a while since a post. All my plants have made it outside, flourishing greatly.

I managed to start thompsontorture.ca as an easier means of sharing growth and pods and accessories.

A few fun plants in the greenhouse...

Some pods have started, finally...

White Fatalii

7 Pot Lava

Bhutlah Mustard

This Bhutlah Mustard is pumping out purple pods...i have a few other plants...some purple stems, some green. Hopefully I can report the progress of each.

7 Pot Infinity

7 Pot Primo

7 Pot Lava

Apocalypse Chocolate

Dedo de Moca

White Naga

Temps have been great here...30's for like 2 to 3 weeks now. The 6 mm vapor barrier i added to the greenhouse has been awesome...both keeping the plants dry, as well as keeping heat. I had to move about 14 plants outside as i'm running out of room. May have to throw another dozen outside next week. Foliage is fantastic. Flowers are starting. I will be picking up isolation bags soon.

*edit...spelled started right*
