Nice progress and lush greenery, you will have super sized plants by the time plant out arrives! :dance: Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk

Apologies for the long radio silence, but I was away for about 2 weeks and rather busy in the week(s) leading up to it, but that of course didn't mean that the tent was neglected. Luckily this also means that progress has been steady, and the 2nd round of seeds dropped just earlier today, so now...

That's an awesome pod indeed, 'fish! Well done and I hope it lives up to your expectations. Given how many people were saying it's a snacking pepper, I was surprised by its spice level which I'd rank as hot. I'd be curious to hear how yours is as it definitely looks spot on in terms of pheno...

Yeah man, digging that dual light setup as well - this should really speed things up and you'll be machete'ing through the jungle before you know it! xD And I know what you mean with Annuums being favorite in terms of flavor; I hope to know whether Rocotos are my cup of tea after this season...

Sounds like a perfect grow season coming up, looking forward to seeing everything progress! :) Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk

Going to be some good reading all around, awesome tests to be doing! In fact, I do remember reading your posts on changing location Paul which inspired me to try it since I had been waiting 3+ weeks at that point already. For now, going to get comfy and watch Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk

I know what you mean CD, when many varieties pop quickly, waiting for a few cultivars to get their act together drives me nuts! This being my first year with Rocoto, I definitely had to practise some mindfulness etc to keep calm, because those buggers are some princesses. Only by power cycling...

Looking good! I'd say you're well ahead of schedule with those puppies, and hope you'll recover quickly from your surgery etc! Best of luck for your season! Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk

It sounds good indeed, curious to see how productive it will be for ya CD! Good luck deciding who makes it for the next (not last ;)) round of seed dropping! Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk

Looking good Paul, those plants are just happily trucking long, taking in on all the great care they're getting! :) How's your winter this year? We've maybe had a handful of freezing days so far, so it's really out of whack over here... Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk

That is one impressive plant Unc, I bet you'll be enjoying those pods for longer than it took to make them! Curious to see the final root system of infamous #13 on its final day, how often are you having to water these days? Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk

Oh my god, we finally have lift-off! :dance: :drunk: The rocoto Cristobal finally popped, so the new method on wet cotton, while cycling the heating mat off and on, seems to be working! For those with a very keen eye, yes, that's an additional Dorset Naga that also popped in the top row. :)...

Haha, not much protection needed up here in the North! xD My Bjh-2 is looking happy, and I'm very pleased with the coloring so far: Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk

May they burn in hell! I've used an apple cider vinegar trap (jar with lid with holes poked in it) which kills a good number of them. What I find worked best, at least in a grow tent, was to have a fan blowing on the plants for a day or 2. Depends totally on the size of your grow of course...

Agree with Karoo here, what you did already paid off and these are 'bout to explode with growth I reckon! :) Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk

Looking good, and what a growth for only 16 days! First pods in another 16? ;) Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk

Thanks Paul, indeed I was very happy to see him coming up finally! And your avalanche is what I was hoping for, but I guess it will have to be during the Annuum round 2 in about a month ;) :cheers: Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk

Funny you say that, as I noticed it too but didn't think much of it - so you think it is a genetic phenotype showing? Never seen an actual pubescence in real life y.e.t., it's gotta happen soon though! Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk

  Thanks Paul, and yes, days turn into weeks and weeks into months while you're waiting at this stage!      Haha, you won't believe it, but when I came into the office this morning, the Dorset Naga Orange (the originally planted one) finally popped:   28 days seems like a long time, even for...

I somehow feel you could host a TV show on growing peppers CD, with the amount of experiments you've got going on and the photographic skills you posses. Some type of Mythbusters-like show I'm thinking... ;) Truly a pleasure every time I stop by your glog and it's awesome seeing your grow up...
