I started my seeds in early February and continued starting seeds until April...just couldn't stop starting new varieties...again. I always take the cheap route and use plain old Miracle-Gro potting soil. It has always worked for me. I also start my seeds in paper towels then transfer them straight to 4 inch pots (I thought they were 3 inch, but they're 4). I use a 125w CFL for lighting and I usually grow around 30 plants. Here's the beginning.

I had crappy soil before this pic and some of these are bare-root transplants. But I did lose one...Chocolate Primo. It just looked funky after transplant.

Here they were just before plant out. Pic taken on May 4...with the addition of a few new seedlings and maters.

Peppers planted out May 10.

Then I ran into the bugs. The flippin' bugs. Judging by the damage, I'm guessing broad mites.

But I soaped then neemed a couple times and things are looking up. I'll have to get a pic of what that plant (Goatsweed) looks like now. This is the latest pic with the addition of the nursery veggies.

That'll probably do it for now. Thanks for stopping by!

Plants are look great, Adam.

Nice shot of the flower.

I may have to get some Neem. Had a few plants with Spider Mite damage.

Thank you, Chuck! Oh no! Spider mites! Thankfully, I haven't encountered them, yet (knock on wood). Good luck battling those bast-holes.

Good looking grow Adam!
 
You did the starting summary fantastically!
 
All the best, and here's to hoping your harvests are bountiful!

Thank you very much, TBG! That means a lot to me. I really worry about how I'm going to sound when people read what I write. Hopefully I always sound coherent. Lol

Here's an overall pic from today.

Then I saw my first sign of my usual pollinators. I see the occasional "regular" bee, but I mostly see bumblebees. The pic is zoomed in. Lol

Bonus pic. This is Alice. I put a new log in her tank today and she jumped her fat ar$e right up there.

 

[Bhuter]

Well, how about that. If I'm not mistaken, the first Pube flower to open has set a pod! If I'm correct and it grows, this will be labeled as an "isolated" pod. The Brown Rocoto is the only other Pube I'm growing, and the flowers are just about to open.

Everything looks great, brother!

Garden looks great ! Looks like you may live out in the stick also , eh ? Love the view ,  Beautiful state Michigan is . 
What the hell you feeding that dragon ! She must eat 3 dozen crickets a day and snack a few dozen wax worms ! lol , My sons use to raise and sell them , had a pair of whites , yellows , reds , and another , can't remember what tho .  The whites were cool and $$$$$$ . 
 
Keep up the great grow !

 

[Bhuter]

Lmao! That dragons' problem is she hardly ever moves. She gets salads daily and occasional super worms (once or twice a week) but doesn't like to be out of her tank. She just moves from one spot to another and just lays there. Lol. Yeah, I live in a small town with the closest bigger city 20 miles away, both ways.

Thank you very much for the kind words, Frank and I'm watching your glog intently. Anxiously awaiting the first Pumpkin BBG pods. Mine is sooo far behind.

Everything looks great, brother!

Thank you very much, my friend!

I am really wishing I had grown your madballz x BBM man...thinking about making it my winter project!  Going to start one or two in the fall and grow it inside until next year.  it will be good to see what your F2 pods look like this season - any pods yet?  The reaper pod I saved seeds from last year was a picture perfect pheno but it turns out it got crossed with something and I am thinking maybe a 7 pod brown.  I'll put some pics up on my glog tonight or tomorrow of it and others.  Perhaps we could do another trade at the end of the season and I could send you some?

Wow! That sounds fantastic! I think one of my plants just set a pod, though it'll be a day or two to know for sure. My plants seem so far behind. Just starting to flower. What a bummer about your perfect Reaper being crossed, but if it IS crossed with 7 Pot Brown, it'll be a screamer! I would absolutely love to trade at the end of the season. That alone would be a great cross! Plus, you have some awesome strains this year. Thanks, man!

Here's a pic of my 4 BBM x Madballz plants. Still small and just starting to flower.

And here's my tiny Pumpkin BBG. I have high hopes for this little fella.

Everything looking good Adam!
 
Nice pic of the Aji Oro flower. You're in for a treat with those pods.
 
I've been having trouble keeping up this year with all the great glogs. In reference to your question about the fish emulsion. I back off of it once I see flowers as it's mainly for foliar growth.

 

[Dot Com]

Nice grow. I think you have plenty of time left for your plants to produce. Summer just started 2 days ago.

Thank you very much, Scott! I've heard conflicting arguments about "should a bloom fert be used" or just stick with the straight fish all season. I'm not sure what to do. Lol They seem to be flowering normally so far.

You're absolutely right. I always try and hurry my plants along. Then when harvesting starts, I think, "What am I gonna do with them all?!"

It's a good time to experiment, pick 3 or 4 and give them something like 3-6-3 and treat a few with the fish. See what the plants like the most. I guess it all depends on what's already in your soil nutrient wise. I stopped feeding mine around 4 weeks ago. Of course a soil test is the way to go. I'll do one one of these days

 

[Bhuter]

Things are finally in, well, second gear, at least. Lots of flowers and buds with a few plants finally setting pods. The plant with the most buds/flowers so far is that Yellow Primo. Many nodes of the plant look like this.

 

[Devv]

Can't ask for better than that

 

[Bhuter]

Can't ask for better than that

You got that right, Scott! Here's a little better pic of the top that Yellow Primo.

Some 7 Pot Caramel (PL) pods coming on.

My other 7 Pot Caramel (PL) is setting upright pods. Maybe they'll drop when they get heavier.

SB7J looking proper.

And one little BBM x Madballz pod.

Slowly but surely things are moving along. I seem further behind than last year. I'm thinking the frickin' mites slowed things down. But we'll get there! Thanks for lookin' in!

 

[Bhuter]

I was checking out my extra little plants that are in pots and I spotted this guy chowing on an aphid. I tried a dozen pics, but this was the clearest.

And the same BBM x Madballz pod.

 

[hogleg]

Looking superb!
 
And that BBMxMadballz pod is already terrifying 

 

[Superhot Sim]

Some cracking pod pics and love the canopy shot of the primo, that's huge and going to be dripping in pods of pain , that BBM x Madballz is going to be one nucleur pepper. You going to do a pod review. ?
Killer grow love it.
