Good luck with your grow CD! Are you also doing the plot this year?

Happy New Year! I've been debating whether I should start a Glog this year or not given that I most likely won't have time to update it as frequently as previous years. I decided to still go for it in case somebody wants to know how a particular variety is doing, and also to document my...

Thanks Tybo! An endorsement from people here is all I was looking for. Yes, they are a bit pricey but durability is what I'm after. I'll be trying them out.

I've been looking around for some reusable seed starting trays. Some of the sturdy ones you find online are made of hard plastic, which is not easy to "pinch" when you need to pull the seedlings out to pot them up. Then I realized that silicone might be a good material for this application. A...

Bullet dodged indeed... it would've been awkward if the package was truly lost but showed up as delivered. Anyway, awesome variety in the seed train. I added 6 Isolated varieties and another mail envelope. There's now 2 mail envelopes to help things move along. I just got back from the Post...

And that's totally what happened. Train A has made it here after a neighbor dropped it off. Now the fun begins!

That's what I thought too @PaulG - I've been waiting for the train to arrive, and when I checked my mailbox the package wasn't there. It was certainly not on the front porch as stated in the tracking system. Any thoughts on what to do? I hope the mailman just delivered it to a neighbor...

Oh boy, getting an early start to the 2022 season @PaulG. Following as usual - I need to finalize my list in the next couple of weeks!

Thanks DR! I was impressed by the Death Spirals too - unfortunately I didn't have success in isolating some flowers since those tails sure look mean! The AAD is definitely a must-grow. They take a while to ripen, but they are definitely great tasting peppers. I gave a plant to my MIL, and we...

Thanks CD! Having more space is nice, especially with 2 kids. I was expecting the Piri Piri to get to that brilliant red stage, but had to settle for the orange-ish since they took forever to ripen. I'm glad they are on-pheno, since I always try to isolate seeds to keep my strains pure.

Thanks @PaulG, this was a good season for me, finally having some success outdoors. I hope to replicate that next year - hopefully we'll get a productive season as well.

Many thanks to @PaulG for including these seeds in the 2019 seed train. I got some seeds from the train in 2020 and grew them this year based on some pics from people around here. Here are some pods I harvested this season - the coloring is amazing and the single plant I grew was really...

Thanks a lot for all these varieties Paul! I'm looking forward to growing them.

Well, I just wanted to close this one out with an update... We moved to a bigger place, so things have been really busy the past few months. The good thing is that I will be able to grow more plants next year. As for this year's plants, I harvested the last peppers of the season last week...

I'm in!

Yeah, this is my first time dealing with BER. It really isn't fun and it was the only plant to be affected by it. I hope at some point I get a plant with a bit more resistance to it and get seeds from it.

Thanks Paul - the peppers seemed to have responded well to the rain. I can see some Purple Thunder are starting to ripen. Weather is going to start turning really soon now, so I hope the rest start ripening up as well!

Well it's been a while... Let's just say life got really, really busy during the last part of the summer. I still have A LOT going on, but I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now. The plants are doing fine too. I have downsized my indoor grow to 4 plants, and the plants...

Looking good CD! Agree with your comment about isolating the whole plant vs using the small organza bags. It's more work with the smaller bags and results are mixed in my experience... better to just cover the whole thing with a 5 gal paint strainer!

Thanks CD, Yes, the outdoor plants have been doing great so far. There are a few things I'll tweak next season, but I'll definitely be growing more plants outdoors. They required a lot less maintenance than the indoor kratky, and they still produced a fair bit even if the plants were not as...
