Thanks bud, almost but did have a few not so positive surprises. My overwintered chocolate primo and primo both got diseases what I suspect is Phytophthora. Cant get upset about the primo as it produced not one viable pod last season . Now its a race to cut and soak the chocolate primo branches with large peppers in hydro solution like I did when this happened to my naga reaper chocolate. All is fair in pepper love and war

Nice! I have a yellow bhut variety I've grown year after year and this is the first summer in some time I'll be without it. Going to have to root for yours now to get my fix. Great to see how many plants you have outside and how big they're getting. I see a lot of pods in your near future.

can you give me some more info on the fungus youre fighting? Just potted up a purple jalapeno that seemed to have some mold/fungi going on in the root ball, and it scared me a little, so far ive done nothing but pot it up and try and forget about it.

Im not so sure anymore, its possible the aphids May have infected them with a plant virus after more research. Its definitely a battle to keep everyone alive. Keep em aphid free and use sterile soil and your good brother.

Small Update : some plants are fighting to stave off some plant virus. Beds to be built soon and heres the beautiful violet sparkle

Alrighty then, Im finally back and the wedding shah ani gabs is over. Plants have done well despite my busy work schedule and soon they go in the ground (way late)

Heres the pics

And a little surprise from a member to let me know Im not forgotten

Your plants have really come on strong, Gipper!

Glad you came home to good times in the growing
department. Sometimes its good to be away for a
little while just to get over obsessing over the plants
all the time

The pic is couple weeks old and the pod and its top was getting munched by something too. Looking to try it tomorrow
