  Take a look at some pics from my 2015 PDN x Bhut five-gallon bucket grow: - The plant is so tall that I couldn't fit all of it in one picture.   PDN x Bhut is the one on the left.  Look how close the Yellow 7 Pot plant is, which is why I think I have a good chance for a cross or two, and...

@ Paul:   Many thanks!   I was really worried about my packing job.  I came up with the idea at the last second while I was rushing to get it sent out in the middle of a crazy day at work.   For our record keeping, this is from my batch #57.  If it crosses, we get an F1 (PDN X Bhut) x Yellow 7. ...

I'm just praying that it gets to you in good condition.  I'm not worried about the roots drying out.  I'm more worried about the cotyledon leaves dying from lack of air flow.  We'll soon find out.

I picked the worst northeast U.S. weather in more than 100 years for this time of year to go on a fishing trip!  I saw some signs, but didn't reschedule the trip. The forecast for the Catskill Mountains has been way off in the past, so last Friday, I packed up my gear and prayed for the best. ...

One last picture before I packed  it up for shipping:       This one's going outside for good in eight days:  

Paul,   Got the PM.   Let me know if you are going to be home to get a package on Friday.   I'm hoping I have enough time in my crappy growing zone to get a decent pod count from this one.  The parent was prolific, producing 220 pods!  I put it outside on May 29th and the first ripe pods...

  Paul,   If you want the smaller plant, it is yours free of change.  I'd just want some pods if it ends up being a cross (hopefully, you'd be able to isolate it), and would also appreciate pictures here (your Glog maybe) as it develops.   If you are interested, PM me with your address,

I gave the bigger plant some fan time to strengthen the stalk and help get it ready for the real world.

Not a lot of recent growth here. If I were keeping the plant indoors longer, I'd fertilize a little, but it's going outside in ten days. I'll give it nutrients then:     I still don't know WTF I'm going to do with this one:    

   

     

Welcome.   This is the best guide anywhere:   http://thehotpepper.com/topic/29501-making-hot-sauce-101/   I've used the safety guidelines when making all of my sauces.        

Ty,   I just remembered that at some point in my 2015 bucket grow (I think after pod development) I began to supplement the soil with worm castings before watering.  The plant LOVED it.  I'm going to pick some up.

Ty,   What do you think about at least 50% composted manure (the rest potting soil) for the bucket grow?   I've grown tons of cucumbers and tomatoes in 100% composted manure - not sure if horse or cow - bought it at a nursery - not a lot of NPK, but nature made a good mix. :)  See:  ...

Still don't know what will become of the second plant, but the first one is getting a permanent outdoor bucket home in sixteen days.  The true leaves are too big from over-watering.  I was watering the right amount for when the lights were right on top of it, but I happened to back off to...

The plants got a better dose of reality today:   Forty-five minutes of 69 F - constant sun, but from the side and a light 5 MPH breeze.      

I started hardening off today.  The plants got fifteen minutes outside.  The weather was a little too mild though - 68 F and cloudy with a 0 MPH wind.  Hoping to get slightly harsher conditions to toughen them up.   This one is a slow grower, but the true leaves are finally starting to come in...

    I just enlarged the picture and spotted a drop of burning on the tips of the true leaves, so I backed off all of (3 CFLs on each plant) the lights. This will also lesson the heat considerably.  Tomorrow, I'll probably re-position some of the lights as well.  I went a little crazy with the...

I have a question regarding the plant from the first picture in my last post:   Are my CFLs burning the tips of the cotyledon leaves because they are too close, or are the edge discolorations normal?
