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!

interesting support you've constructed for it.   about how wide do you expect it to grow?
I am hoping that supporting the major branches will
encourage them to aim higher. Already noticing some
more upward growth.

I dont know how big it will get in the three gallon pot

to get the irrigation hooked up and running.

Lookin good my friend! Every plant you have is well off to the races! How did all your plants fair in the high 90s? We hit 87 and 92 during that heat wave, every weed, shrub, and tree on the property was pissed off and going limp except... the supers. They were all excited about it! lol. That scotch you did surgery on is gonna turn into a serious shrub in no time. I have 2 plants I did the same with, surgery was a few weeks back and after this hot week they're showing some real potential. 
 
Nice chair shot  :lol: I have about 4 pages to go and I'll be caught up on Uncs action! The Chairshot needs to go THP viral this season I'm thinking  :lol:
 
Hope all is well with you and the fam Paul!

Cant say I am sorry to see the weather change for
the cooler at the moment. Plants survived. About I
could do was give them a lot of water and smile!
The intense sun did start some of the plants back
on the road to green, so that is a plus.

The MoA is already starting to show more rapid
growth at the nodes.

Very nice :cheers:
 
Right you are, Scott!
 
More to come as the season progresses.
Lots of pods setting as we speak.
 
edit: Okay, I'm getting tired of correcting
double and triple posts.   :rofl:

Not the best pic, but the orange-y runt gives me
an idea of what the ripe pods might look like!
