Beehunters Grow log - Now with Awkward video update.

Hey all. As you can see im new here and new to gardening in general. Ive been lurking around the site for a while now preparing for this grow. Ive got some African birds eye that just sprouted and soaking some other seeds now to go in the incubator tonight. Ill post pics of the sprouts later. Figured this is a good way to get to know people and great place to get advice.
Happy growing!

Good work, Britt! Every time I look at your pics, I am more impressed
by the scope and quality of your grow compared to the space you are using!
The plants are healthy and happy looking thanks to your care.

I shudder to think what you might produce if you lived in Florida and
had two acres!

Continued success to you, bro! Enjoy those chiles!

BAM!

 

[Spicegeist]

Love the balcony, I'd be tempted to make room in the middle, curl up and fall asleep next to all those peppers, lol.

THanks for the pod pics, plants look great, Bee! Hopefully the weather will turn around soon, temps dropped here also but the plants seems too like the lower temps for now.

Ha! if i had a few Acres i wouldnt know what to do with myself! I think i might work better with limitations. With Limited options it forces me to have a strong game. if i had my plants in the ground in a large space i might be tempted into laziness. Plus im not near old enough to be allowed to live in florida .

Hey thanks. If there was room to curl up in the middle i might give it a try I know my wife would be happier if there was at least standing room out there.

I wish my plants liked the cooler temps. All the cooler temps do for me is add to flower drop i think. But i cant complain too much.

Ok its been a while. I was out of town for a week. Had to make a trip state side for a friends wedding. Was nice to catch up with friends from back home. While i was gone my wife was in charge of well everything including my peppers. I come back and... well they look great! Seems while i was gone summer finally got here and with it came some warmer night time temps. The warmer temps have been great for pot set on my plants! I think the cooler nights were causing the flower drop because now that its a bit warmer at night they seem to be holding pods better. Ive also giving two of my plants away to friends. They were duplicates of plants i have growing and i figure for overall plant health i needed more room out there. Anyway they will be missed Ok on to some pod pics!

here are a few yellow 7 pot pics. just cause they are so wicked looking!

Here is a funny bhut. It was the first pod to set on this plant and was very stunted. The newer pods on it are much more bhut looking.

Another more bhuty bhut

and the Scorps are finally setting some pods!!!

the the workhorse hab is still doing its thing

and the Mulatos are getting just huge!

Till next time. Thanks for stoppin by.

What's up Bee?.... Did you have any seperation anxiety whilst away? Your yellow 7's are looking just like mine. Those pods are one of my favorite so far in my season. Glad your weather is picking up.

 

[stickman]

Man me too! had to wait for it long enough... still only in the 50's overnight but that seems to be a big help from the 40's we were having. I dont know if i had anxiety, but i did think on them quit a bit .

Hi Bee, nice looking chiles. Glad to hear your summer is finally kicking in. Good luck

Hey thanks man. Your plants are lookin awesome too!

Well was an interesting week for my plants. we had our three hottest days of the year mixed in with two of the worst storms of the year. Last week was a week of mostly sun around here and my plants were loving it. they put on new growth and a few even had some pods ripen. But on sunday morning we had one hell of a crazy hale storm come threw. Ive always heard people say golf ball sized hale but ive never actually seen it cover a street in july and turn it white. It was impressive. Luckily my plants are mostly protected by the balcony about us but nothing could completely protect them from something like that. So here is a few of the carnage pics and a pic of a nice ripe bhut. Happy monday everybody.
