afr0n0mes first ever grow :D

Well i started not knowing wtf i was doing. I have never GROWN ANYTHING from seed or grown anything in general so take it ez on me. This is my first year and i'm learning everyday ! 
 
I started with about 12 varieties which included: 
 
Yelow Fatalli   ( swartmamaba ) 
Choc Fatalli ( swartmamaba ) 
Red Bhut jolokia ( frankie )
White Bhut jolokia ( pepperlover )
Scotch bonnet ( swartmamaba ) 
Corni di toro ( wickedmike )
dragon cayenne ( wickedmike )
reaper ( koreansoul )
brainstrain yellow ( pepperlover )
white congo ( pepper lover )
douglah ( swartmamaba ) 
7pot white ( pepperlover )
aji dulce ( ikf )
 
and did i mention that i didn't label a thing ? hah i figured since it was my first grow ever i would be happy getting any kind of pod :D ( ok i cheated i know where the reapers are... but hey i wanted to keep those in check ! ) 
 
Well i'll start with some pics and a lay of the "land" Here goes nothing
 
The old paper towel/plastic ziploc container on top of my fridge did the trick just fine !  i started labeling then said .. f**k it... hahaha

I found mine locally for 30 bux, it's the best 30 bux i have ever spent ! 
 
Brings back memories of making fun of the guy in chat who bought one right after you for retail.

Wow! Plants look damn good, especially for moving in the middle of a northern winter! Fantastic job man!
Thank you !  yeah the temp was -27 when we moved LOL i had them babies wrapped up in garbage bags and moved them at the very end so i could keep them away from the cold as much as possible.
 
Good day to be checking on the plants. They all seem to have flower buds.
 
Here's one of the reaper hanging out in a 5g drip bucket with a 55w cfl above it.

You'll have a bowl like this in no time.
 
 
I posted that from my phone, looks like I missed something haha.

Nah I'm a let it go see what happens, if I get pods wonderful if they drop that's fine too :) just glad they are doing good.
 
Plants looking great dude.
I like the blue hydro pebbles they look great! :)
 
1000w should do you proud!
 
Awright, 'Fro - all in with hydro.  
Looks great - good on ya for making the jump!
Aerogarden is as hydro as I am willing to go right now,
but you make it look pretty doable!
