I am starting an indoor grow experiment so I might as well start the new years glog at the same time. Today I threw 3 seeds in the dirt(hoping for 66% germination). I will keep 1 in dirt and 1 in Kratky. These will stay in my grow room under my 8000K T8 shoplights from the beginning through fruit.

Heck yes. Show 'em it's done!
Hope plenty of processed/preserved/freeze-dried peppers made the trip down with you for the interim.
EDIT: That was supposed to be: "Show 'em how it's done!"
I lived in FL some years ago. Definitely a different pepper growing environment.

If you're going to do it, hit 'em solidly every night for at least 5-7 days. I hadn't done this trick in a long time until I was recently reminded of it. Tried it recently during a mini heat wave and some of the plants set quite well. Was it the cause though...?

Hullifiknow. We've hit some wild swings in temps, not so much day/night but day to day. I'm just willing to give padding my harvest a shot any way that is cheap and relatively harmless.
..and leave that poor SkullBiker be, mang; He's gonna be learning to grow in crushed seashells next season, fergawdsakes.....

Quite lucky on this last trip, quite a caravan with me in the 26 ft uhaul truck pulling one of their 6 X 12 trailers, my wife driving the Dodge truck with my enclosed motorcycle trailer behind that, and her aunt driving the Ford Edge (she would not pull a trailer so thats why some stuff got left behind). All that iron on the road for 1650 miles and no break downs or incidents!DWB said:

I will start anew on the peppers, I have plenty of saved seeds, plus some from a couple of other THPers. Thanks for checking out my glog.Podlover said:

I thought that I had no pepper plants but after rummaging through the jungle by the garage at the new place I found 2 leftover leftovers! Not sure what they are, one is in its own container and the other is in a container with a tree. The peppers grow pointing up, they are about 1 1/2 inch long and 3/8 to 1/2 inch diameter. They look plenty sparse and neglected, probably have never been fed and getting just rain water.
Probably going to do a hurricane seed start this weekend.

Dang Skull, I'm getting nervous as a ho in church watching your hurricane approach but don't start missing the snow and be feeling like you jumped out of the frying pan into the fire. Them dam 'canes can be scary but it's just a thang about living down here around these semi-trop oceans. Not sure where you're at but I hope you're inland a ways even though Florida is a bit too skinny for comfort most anywhere. I just wanted you to know I'm thinking about you. Get ready and take care my friend.

I am pretty much dead center in the state. Right now the biggest fear is probably flooding. There is a lake about 300 yards away that can come up this far, plus if it rains too heavy, too fast, and for too long the water cant run away from the house fast enough. Other than that we are ready, generator, food, water, etc.DWB said:
Right now the storm looks to want to head offshore up the coast. I think you'll be OK if that's the route it takes. I hope it turns hard right, Mom lives less than 200 yds. from the ocean in Murrells Inlet, Sc. The storms sure have been visiting her in the last 3 years since she bought the place..

At this point it looks like we will get a day or two of strong wind and rain here in the middle of the state but I think the east coast is going to get hammered. Right now it looks tough for your mom because the Carolina coasts may get hurricane force winds judging by current track models.Devv said:
Boy do I resemble that remark! Same but different; I drove that 26' Uhaul from Fountain Hills AZ to Fargo ND towing a POS--er, I mean Pontiac Montana, with the wife driving my Ram with a 4 and a two year old, no breakdowns or incidents besides having to stop in Souix Falls SD to sign legal docs (our house sold two days after putting it up), and oh yeah, hauled the lot through the T-Rex in Denver....skullbiker said:
Glory days, I tell ya. And we're planning a move back the other way....
Luck to you on the acclimation!

If you ever get another 26 ft uhaul be sure to get the Ford Super-Duty. I had those for the first two loads and a GMC the last load. The Fords were a dream to drive(and had cruise control). The GMC comparibly was worse than a total piece of shit, no cruise and handled and swayed terribly(I think my knuckles were white the whole way).stettoman said:
