Reaper Apocalypse       My largest overwintered plant has put on over 30 pods and hundreds more flowers.  I'm now getting some fully-ripe pods ready for harvest.

Easing into the weekend with a few progress  pics:   Datils with a bit of sunburn     Jeepers creepers, where'd you get those Reapers?   Reapers...  reapers everywhere...     I have my first fully-ripe 7 Pot Brain Strain Yellow     So.Many.Starfish.     Not a pepper, but worthy of some...

It seems crazy to have pods on small indoor plants like that, but I wouldn't complain!   The thick, brown stem on the overwinter is pretty typical.  Most of my overwinters did the same thing, but not quite as robust as yours.  If you plant that one outside it will probably become a monster.

4 pods from a single node on this Primo     Now I'm starting to get some extra-spiky lobed Brazilian Starfish   There are so many pods on this plant that it's drooping to the ground; I'll need to stake it.     Fully-ripe Reapers keep coming.     Extremely lobed Bishop's Crown

Pex: "and this is where the magic happens" [immediately close video] I need to sleep at night. :D

Very artful pictures!

A variation on the classic story...   Last year I received a large bag of red bhut seeds from Pex.  So one evening I was putting seeds in to paper towels to pre-soak prior to planting.  Knowing that the oil on the seeds can be pretty noxious I used tweezers to handle and even wore gloves during...

The picture looks very Brain Strain or perhaps even an early Chocolate Scorpion.  I'd vote *not* a Douglah because despite being heavily ridged and folded they typically don't have this much bumpiness.

I've got some seedlings at the 4" size but nothing superhot:   Aji Amarillo Aji Cito Aji Oro Rocoto Aji Verde Alma Paprika Cherry Bomb Red Chinese Bullet Pepper Çumra Cherry Dulce Marrón Ethiopian Brown Berbere Kung Pao Matay Tatli Top Yatsufusa Pepper   I haven't ever tried to ship live plants...

As promised, a bit of visual update to close out the weekend:     Rather large Naga Morich pods, I suppose these are ready... I'm not.     7 Pot Brain Strain Yellows becoming... yellow.  It won't be long now.   Did I mention that this plant has something like 30+ pods on it?     The Bishop's...

I'll just state up front that I know fluorescent fixtures are not the best choice for indoor pepper starting/growing and that there are better options out there.   Having moved past that; my current situation finds me with eight fluorescent 4' tube dual-tube shop fixtures of the T8 variety.  ...

What are we looking at Pex?

  These are the Devil's Tongue Yellow pictures I found from my 2014 grow log:             Pablano Pete!

I'm also growing Naga Morich this year:         Yours seem far less bumpy.  As for the purple foliage... could be sunburn but likely not if they are indoors.  It might be a cross?

Thanks for the encouragement guys.  I wish I had more exciting or extensive updates to give but things are sort of mundane at the moment.  All of the plants are putting on nice foliage and appear to be very healthy.  I've got pods in varying stages on most of my plants with a few of my supers...

That one should be ripe in about a week.

It's finally started raining again here in Central Florida.  I can only hope that we don't immediately go in to a period of "rain every afternoon and all night" like we had in April-May 2014 which ended up ruining most of my grow with brownspot. For now, the lawn is at least celebrating.   On to...

That's quite a list.  I'm interested in hearing how the Oily Paste pepper produces for you.

Birds. They often nip the leaves when attempting to catch insects on your plants.

I'm considering starting a compost bin on my property but I've seen a lot of varying opinions about "the best" type to have.  My space is relatively limited, let's call it 4'x4' and I can't have anything too odoriferous or unsightly or I'll trigger the HOA in to action.
