PaulG 2019

No grow log for the 2018 season other than the Pimenta de Neyde x Bonda Ma Jacques
thread dedicated to Trippa's cross. That one is an ongoing community project going into
second year and a test of the F7 generation. I imagine I will mention it once-in-a-while in
this thread, but the details of its progress will be in the dedicated thread.
 
I am deciding on a grow list for the 2019 season after growing only Trippa's cross this
season (2018). I definitely have some old favorites that will comprise the great majority
of the grow. I have limited space, so I'm counting on nature to help me make the final
decision. I'll probably start lots of seeds since I'm gun-shy from the poor germination
rates the past couple of seasons.
 
Here's the pool. Would be nice to be able to grow a bunch of all of them!  I think my
neighbor will shelter the overflow in his yard, but we'll see what to plant and how many
based on what might germinate  :rofl:
 
c. chinese - 10 varieties: 
  • PdN x BMJ, F7, white and violet varieties, Trippa's cross
  • Fatali, F2 of seed from Pepper Joe's
  • 7 Pot Burgundy, brown phenotype, pecan shape from 2017 F2 of the 7PB from Windchicken 
  • Scotch Bonnet, MoA, F2 of seeds from John/Sim, not high production, but some nice pods
  • JA Red Habanero, F5 of seed from Walk Good/Devv
  • Yellow Scorpion, F7 aka Yellow Trinidad Moruga Scorpion and CARDI Scorpion, from Spankycolts plant 2012
  • Bhut Jolokia, Red, F4, from Spankycolts plant 2012
  • Bhut Jolokia, Chocolate, F3 of seed from Georgia Growhead
  • Bhut Jolokia, hybrid, F2 - I believe it is a  (BJred) x (Pdn x BMJ F1 or F2)
  • Yellow 7 Pot, F2 of seed from Trippa 2013
c. annuum - 4 varieties:
  • JA Red Mushroom, F3, brown phenotype, seed from Refining Fire
  • Pimenta de Padron - Spanish seed, fry up while small and green, throw on some salt
  • Pimenta del Piquillo - Spanish seed, sweet, very flavorful, small stuffers
  • Guindilla - Spanish seed, spicy heat, great pickled, long and skinny
c. frutescens - 2 varieties:
  • Nagahari from Tezpur, India, supposedly very, very hot freebie from Pepper Joe's 2017
  • Chili Costa Rica, F2 (2014) from Hippy Seed Company seed, 2012
c. pubescens - 1 variety:
  • Red Rocoto, F3 of Peruvian Market seed, 2016
That about does it. Seeding time will be here before we know it!

I don't know if I am the only one but does anyone else see the slick shine on insides of the scorpions and think "bacon grease"? I have to stop myself from doing something stupid like licking them. The more oily the pepper the more I am drawn to do that and have to stop myself.

Awesome work all around Paul, you are for sure keeping busy and that dehydrator running! xD So glad to see your season pulled itself together after all those efforts, and you're keeping 3 glogs fully up to date - impressive, and you're making the rest of us seem like slackers! :rofl:

I'd love to trade some seeds, was there anything from my grow you might be interested in? I'll hit you up on the PM [emoji1303]

That's a bit of a stretch, my friend! Any number of growers on this forum make me feel humble :)

Yeah, let's get that done!
 
Pretty sure i got some TFM seeds. Might have some left from Trent and mine were grown close to my Dreadies. I have to check to be sure.
 
Dont have a brown Scorpion but the Big Brown Bhuts are some kinda Pepperlover cross. They are pretty nasty too. :P Im sure i got seeds from those. Just picked a few more today.
 
I did a trade almost a week ago but the person has not logged in since 10/11 and they arrived on the 12th. So i may need a backup for Aji Amarillo just in case.

I'm down with that, friend!

I might try those instead of my BJ chocolate. It just doesn't really pack on the pods for me. Second or third season growing.

Thanks very much, I'll get those Aji Amarillo ready.
In the meantime, is there anything in my grow logs
(also included in my profile list) that strikes your fancy?
 
Got a nice round of big Yellow BrainStrain
pods with the yellow beret top:
B8D4E778-66E6-423C-9888-441C48A523EC.jpeg


Ready for the dryer with some Guindilla,
basically the Spanish version of a Cayenne:
5B317993-E0D5-4C59-A392-41E124E9589D.jpeg


A nice bunch of late season MoA Scotch Bonnets.
Not quite the proper phenotype, but nice pods,
if somewhat small:

Still possibility of more JA Red Habaneros, MoA bonnets,
Costeño Amarillo, Goats Weed, JA Mushroom, Marconi
Red and Yellow, and a slew of Purple Thunder BJ hybrids,
as long as the weather holds out.
 
Lots of sun in the 6-day forecast, with only a passing shower or three.
Temps dipping into low 30s starting Saturday and ending Tuesday, then
a slow climb to mid-40s. Only the strongest will survive.
 
Definitely more pod harvesting to come on Friday   :party:  Should be a
good and varied haul, luck holding.
 
Nice hauls Paul, and good luck with the weather ;)
 
They're talking high 40's here with the front this weekend. Now I'm getting worried that I won't get any fall pods...
 
They should be a hangin' already, but not..

We have had some low 30s and plants soldiered
through. Your plants should be good at high 40s.
Unless you are talking high temps
