Playing catch up on the posting. Spring showed up about a month early here in Georgia and it's got us hoppin.
Started around the1st of February, but staggered the germination trays by roughly a week to 10 days each.
Started under 8 lamp T5, mixed bulbs. This grow will be "organic", meaning no salt based nutes, pesticides, herbicides.

Overall, we hit about a 2/3rds germination rate.
J. Scotch bonnets and bishop caps bombed, only one naga morich (bummed).
Everything else started well, closer to 75% germ rate.

Began to pot up. 4 inch pots, media is a mix or organic soil, coco coir, perlite and vermiculite.
Once established, inoculated the seedlings with mycorrhizae and added "soil blast" from supreme growers (4-0-8).

VERY! nice Alpha!
Not sure how I missed this...
Those plants are looking healthy as all hail! Looks like you overcame the community garden bandit problem... I can't for the life of me understand that one.
Unfortunately for me I have a weak spot in me for tequila and tacos... you hit me right in the gut with both of em' here!
 
WOW! I am truly jealous with your bounty. The pods are very colorful and look like something out of a seed catalog. You have outdone yourself and my meager harvest.

Someday . . . . . . . . .

Ian, just send me a sasbe if you want datil seed. Will send you what you need. The heat and flavor of the rouge jsb was kind but alas not too hot. I could actually serve it to guests without hurting them.
