Those plants look great they are going to love those bleachers. Good luck through the season and weather

PaulG · Feb 26, 2012

Outstanding! The plants and the plant stands.
really top notch. Can't wait to see the results
when you put the pots on the 'bleachers'!

hotjohn9 · Feb 26, 2012

Thanks guy, I should have went 3-4 high on the bleachers

hotjohn9 · Mar 19, 2012

1cube of coco fiber first, took 10 gallons of water to break up

1 pallet of potting soil and 1 bag of worm compost and 4 bags of perlite later

70 pots later, did not transplant yet because it started to SNOW HERE IN EUGENE OREGON. GGRRRRR

So like any great chilehead, I started more plants then I have room for.

*I received a pack of seeds from Butch Taylor for some butch T seeds- started 12 more plants
*Started some black gongo from peppermania- 6 plants
*Chocolate scorpions and chocolate fatali from Grant at Jungle rain
*Brain strain7 Cappy sent red and yellow- 15 plants started
* and a few others so far have had best results from seeds from Judy at Pepperlover.com
Cannot wait :fireball:

ON FIRE

PaulG · Mar 21, 2012

Haha - starting more seeds. Way to go.
I love your greenhouse setup. Does the plastic wrap around the ends. too?
You could heat it with christmas lights like Shane does in San Diego!
We mock the weather!

hotjohn9 · Apr 5, 2012

The plastic wraps around 3 sides. I think I will completely close it up all the way around here in a couple of weeks

There are always people to envy here in THP, :neutral:

, a great collection and a stadium, it's going to be a hot crowd in there.

hotjohn9 · Apr 18, 2012

Thanks, I have added a few others as well. Looking forward to growing the Bengle Naga from Sea spring seeds, a relative of the dorset naga and the bhut I believe

So here is an update- I got a wild hair up my hmmm and decided to buy 12 plants from RFC and 12 from Crosscountry nursery regardless of the hundreds of plants I grew from seed. haha. I was really surprised by the size difference, RFC plants had a few aphids (not many) and are really small plants. no biggy at all. very happy with Jim's business and the CCN plants are 8-10 inches tall, clean and no bugs, first time buying from CCN.

Growing from seeds is so much more rewarding and cheaper. lol

Here in Eugene Oregon we do not get much sun but when it is warm it is warm. (for oregon) which is NOT saying much

I am excited with my Peach bhut jolokia that I got from David in Canada, they have started to sprout and are already orangish/peach color. Not sure if that is normal but they look good. Thanks again David AKA Hammerfall.

So here is also an update photo of my pepper bleachers some have called it. I have around 70-80 plants in this location. It did frost last night but I hope they did okay over night.

So enjoy. happy growing and thanks for all the advice and suggestions

Morugas, sunrise scorps and Rocotos
