Odd how some juvenile plants are fairly dark and some not at all. Looking good in the basement!

Still battling daily high wind conditions here in TX but this lady is moving along.

Still waiting on one of those growth spurts.

Everything is outside for good (I hope!). Currently in ~ 6 hrs of sun and everything seems happy, no wilting. On these winds die down they will get transitioned into full sun next week. Made the move to fish hydrolysate + CalMag + molasses + great white mycorrhizae for feedings. Have a few...

Everything is still on track. They’re outside during the days now but still coming back in at night. Going through the hardening off process and I can tell some are going to be stubborn while others seem to be doing great with the sun. Should be in the 60’s at night here pretty soon and they...

Alrighy… Update for mid February Everything is potted up into its final container. Lots of buds, flowers & small starter peppers tucked inside & through most of these. The only plant left to do anything with at this time is the 2025 grow-off plants. 5 gallon bucket for scale.

The last of the 12 seeds I planted popped up this morning, totaling out at a 100% germination rate. Only keeping my first 3 and moved them up to double-cups today while I was getting the last of my main plants moved up to their 7 gallon bags. They’ll start eating some hydrolysate a few times a...

They definitely darkened up.

It’s alive!!!!

The ladies are loving the sun!!! 😂 Had a bit of a cold spell (if you can call it that in mid February?)…. The few scattered days that will be in the high 70’s they’ll get a few hours of afternoon sun. Getting everything potted up into 7 & 5 gallon bags this week as well. They’re taking turns...

Well it looks like I may need to set up my grow lights inside next week. They’re all moving into their big bags this weekend so the tent isn’t an option anymore. Got the few that aren’t Chinense in their 5 gallon bags today. Even still, they will be outside every day they can. They all got...

The girls are officially out in the wild (for 5-6 days at least!). Everything is covered in buds and flowers, with a few starting on peppers. Have my 7 gallon grow bags and 5 gallons of fish hydrolysate in the mail.

Put my 7 gal grow bags on order today, as well as another 5 gal of fish hydrolysate. The Cayenne, Tabasco, red habanero & ghostly jap are going into 5’s, everything else into 7’s Seriously running out of room in the tent at this point! Everything has flower and buds on it and this weekend is...

Thanks for the extras 🙏🙏🙏.. and they are in the dirt on Feb 3 2025!

I’m going to have to figure something out I think. I don’t think I have the room to keep these in this 2x4 for another month without problems. I’m getting a bit of leaf burn from plants being so close to each other, and having to raise the lights and turn them up to alleviate some curling on...

Weekend update 1-26-2025 Everything is still smooth sailing. Have a Tabasco & Cayenne in double cups getting just water. All environmentals, lighting and feeding remain the same as the last update. All of the bigger plants have tons of buds on them. Something I found pretty neat is the two...

Aside from the obvious ‘only choose one plant and proof of life’ components of the competition, where can a first time competitor find the general rules that need to be adhered to? We’re being most likely judged on plant size/health and yield over the entire season? @Bou, sent you a PM as well.

Quick little garden update… Turned my lights down to about 250 PPFD which has significantly helped my leaf curl issue. All plants are looking happy and doing well. Been giving them all a pretty good dry-back period and watering with a 3-1-2 organic, plus CalMag and a dash of molasses. Going...

I have done foliar sprays

Just a quick update. Still hunting a resolution to leaf curling. Been collecting soil components from my local feed & supply. I’ll probably need around 12-13 cubic feet of soil. Just based on what’s locally available I’ll probably be going with a mix of Happy Frog & Ocean Forest with a bit...
