Thanks for the input and info on these DouglahT crosses, as your original flavor description involving cherries got me very intrigued Unc! ;) Nice to hear that the fruitiness is something Douglah-inherent as I might therefore include this variant in my grow next year or the year after (already...
Impressive work, looking forward to following your development! Did you put much thought into the growth characteristics of the mother plant? E.g. vigorous grower, or small and bushy, etc...

Great selection of plants there, they must be liking all the extra space as well! Loved the sugar rush Peach this year, and growing them indoors is smart as they take forever (seriously) to ripen. Curious to hear how you like the lemon spice, as I got seeds for next year as well!
Looking...
Awesome work all around Paul, you are for sure keeping busy and that dehydrator running! xD So glad to see your season pulled itself together after all those efforts, and you're keeping 3 glogs fully up to date - impressive, and you're making the rest of us seem like slackers! :rofl:
I'd love...
Awesome looking guitar Scott - sounds like you have a well-deserved (mentally) relaxing retirement lined up! Nothing like pursuing your hobbies full-time, and making us jealous at the same time! ;) Can't wait to see your 2020 glog... :dance:

Haha, yeah they are a handful! Ours learnt that the wild strawberries growing around our property are very tasty, so during the summer the first thing he would do when coming outside would be to scavenge all the red ones and eat them. We just have to be on top of him to make sure he doesn't...
The biker bill in the 60L / 16gal fabric pot, which gave a total of 35 pods after the slugs took out probably >10 of the pods along the way
The biker bill (left) and early jalapeno (right) in their autopots. Combined they totalled > 80 pods. While I'm disappointed in the heat level of the...
So unfortunately the time has come that my garden season of 2019 has come to end, but it sounds more sad than it actually is, as I'm all in all extremely happy with the results and all that I've managed to learn, not the least thanks to the awesome peeps in this forum! :)
The freezer has been...
Denmark reporting the final weigh ins, as frost arrived a month earlier than usual, causing me to have to empty out the garden early.
385g + 116g + 629g = 1,130g final
This plant is by far the most proliferative I've ever grown, thanks Guru! Harvested more than 460 pods, and this is what...
Very nice work Paul, those crosses are producing some beautiful pods! What a lovely way to get home from what sounded like an awesome trip. :)
And its only fair you're getting rewarded with copious pods after all the hard work you have put in!

Awesome stuff CD, nice to see you managed a good pull off the BOC! I guess you've tried one fresh by now? How was the delicious smell greeting you when you opened it up?
And what about the fermented batch, will you make sauce of it?
Impressive dedication to getting all that ISO seed, will for...
Little early autumn harvest, with (clockwise from top left) :
Biker Bill's Jalapeño, "not-foodarama SB" (looks more like orange habs to me), Sugar Rush Peach, SLR (Growdown), KS Lemon Starrburst, Aji Pineapple

Thanks CD, and yes, you're totally right I feel good about all the work with the greenhouse, as it has for sure saved my season and boosted my output massively compared to last year, where we even had the best summer on record for >25 years... :) I find it interesting that plants get so big...
Great stuff as always CD, so nice to see the colors coming in!
Would you say the hyperpube is a good 'beginner' rocoto? You've gotten me curious about the rocotos and would like to grow one or two - so far I've read good things about the Cristobal one and the turbo pube, and would like to...
Hey unc, that DouglahT sounds astonishing, too bad you can't extract the flavor in powder form or hot sauce... :(
Is it the cross that's often referred to as Sepia Serpent?
And I hear ya on the downscaling next year, although looking at my growlist this is already never gonna happen for me...
Thanks Rob, appreciate the effort. And yes, the consistency was also what struck me - love it! :)
And indeed, as NECM says, they are readily available now, and I was lucky enough to meet a nice member over at PLC (previously Google+, now on MeWe) who sent me some seeds. Dried I can actually...
246g + 111g + 28g = 385g until date.
They may be small harvests, but as a turtoise I gotta keep going slow but steady...
And pray like #%@* the cold stays out of Denmark for another good month or so! :D

Thanks for all the good input everybody, it really is appreciated, especially now that I'm drafting the team for next year's grow and would like to avoid dedicating spots to peppers I don't really end up enjoying anyways. The good thing is that for the KSLSB, I discovered that dehydrating them...
