Uknow 2018 - The Heat is On!

Hey all!

Just a quick sneak peak. I planned on dirt day being January 1st this year, but it ended up being today (yesterday), January 18th. Still about 2 weeks earlier than my first set last year. As long as I don't have any major setbacks like last season, I should crush it this year! *Knock on wood*

So I finally got the grow box/tent, lights and heat mat set up in my unfinished rec room downstairs of the new house. The room is about 6' x 9'. Had to cut about 4 inches off one side of my table, it's a tight fit, but I didn't want to go lengthwise, lol.

I planted 4 trays of Chinense only so far. Heat mat is set to 83f. I learned my lesson last year with planting Annuum's and baccatum's too early. Not doing that again! I'll wait at least another month before I start them.

I didn't put together my official grow list yet, but you can see most of the varieties in the pics. Mostly the same as last year, I didn't order any new seeds. I'm missing a few varieties though due to not getting any pods from a few that the deer mowed down last season. (I'm looking for Chocolate Bhut, JPGS and a couple others if anyone wants to trade some seeds)

Also, of the 22 plants I tried to overwinter, 10 survived the aphids and neglect from me. Only watered twice since October, oops, haha. 5 I think have some life left in them, and 7 were completely toast. I'll get a list of the survivors tomorrow when I do my grow list.

Update for the glued flowers...

I have some that have taken, you can see below that the flower petals are still sealed and have fallen off, but the new bud/pod remains...

I do have some others though that managed to still open up even with the tip glued, which means I just didn't get enough glue on the flower bud. Probably not far enough up the sides, I guess sometimes you need to go a little deeper than just the tip.
 
Big update, it's been a while. I'll have to make multiple posts. (About 200 pics)

Mostly just pics, the plant label pic is first, followed by pics of that plant.



We'll start with my 5 overwintered plants from last season...

To be continued... 20 pic limit per post.
 
Overwintered plants continued...

This is the last one, my Purple Naga Viper... Not as big as the others, I almost lost it in January, but it's coming back now and very productive for it's size!

The Purple Ripper! (Reaper crossed with suspected (99%sure) Fildaga Preto). Seeds came from an open pollinated Reaper pod last fall.

Purple BTR cross, also suspected crossed with the Fildaga Preto, pods are similar shape and ripen the same way. Plant is very low to the ground, but also is loaded with pods, so that is part of it being so low...

7 pot lava with some curly growth on top from a third branch coming off. Leaves and all look normal, just has a weird curl to it, I think maybe one of the leaves was hung up on a lower leaf or branch initially...

This PNV ripens to almost a caramel/ redish brown color, never gets bright red...

The CPR "Red Grenade" plants this year... Kept two. For anyone new to my glog, these were supposed to be Chocolate Primo Reapers last year, but the only plant I kept, turned out to have long red bumpy pods. These two plants came from open pollinated seeds from that plant last fall. One is a "normal" plant with shorter pods this year, and the other is hairy. The hairy trait must have been a recessive trait that decided to show itself. I don't have any
pubescens plants and never have yet, so it's pretty interesting...

CP115, consistent with last year's pod shape and chocolate color, very small plant though...

I hit this guy little too hard with the nutes about a month ago. It dropped all it's leaves, but managed hang on to the 3 pods it had and they are starting to ripen.

CPR, from seeds from a plant I gave to a friend last season. That one produced more true to pheno pods that were chocolate. We'll see what it puts out this year...

The rest of these pics are of my spare/backup plants. Left most of them in 1 gallon pots. They are smaller, but still putting out some pods...

The other chocolate ebony hab plant, also putting out red pods...

What are you going to do with all those pods ....
Haha. I make salsa's, hot sauces, spicy vodka for Bloody Mary's and dehydrate some for dried powders. I'll also freeze some as well for use in cooking later on. :Party: :fire:
