glog Bluemeanietsi's "late to the game" Glog 2013 style

Got into this a little late and the seeds were purchased off of eBay (before I knew about this site) so for all I know these are all green bell peppers haha.

As I stated in my newbie thread this is the greenhouse I built/work in progress. Right now they are spending the nights inside as it's still warm during the day. I have other flowers in there that will be moving indoors soon to make more room.

Here's what I have so far, I plan to keep up with updates hopefully I get some exciting pods from these:

Here are my "Bhut"s a little over a month old:

Here is my only scotch bonnet that survived, the others were eaten so I'm not sure if I'll get anything off this one or not:

It's late in the year but I'm going to try to keep these guys growing in the greenhouse and maybe have a winter harvest :) Otherwise it's a learning experience until the growing season starts next year and I start the remaining seeds.

I have some "Butch T"s that popped up last week I have to get photos of too, they're about 1" tall now.
 
looking good mon! ... what's the white under the upper leaf in the last picture? Reflection? Where I live it would be whitefly :/
 
Well all 3 dwc plants are flowering like crazy at least 30+ per plant but none have set pods. They stay open for a few days and fall off. I have a fan on them and I've tried hand pollinating, nothing yet.
 
Beautiful grow man! You're one hell of a carpenter. That green house is a beautiful piece. I could use something like that since my grow is set up in the dining room and it hideous. It never fails to spark up a conversation with guests though. You are truly skilled.
 
Well the greenhouse experiment failed, turns out my house furnace was stuck on emergency heat so my last elec bill was $1600 so I've had to be more energy efficient so the plants got sacrificed. My cardi's are doing ok even after 20 degree nights I'm really surprised at them.

I started seeds Indoors for my garden and I'm not going to attempt any overwintering next year it just left my office a mess lol. Got my garden filled up and ready to go. Started a compost bin and my seedlings ate about 2" tall now

I will update with pics when it's time to move them to the garden.
 
Well after losing a bunch of plants over winter because the heater died, dealing with having surgery and starting seeds late, losing some plants in a late frost....I finally have pods

Well it's a learning process right? this is my first season growing peppers other than jalapenos and I learned a lot about what to do for next year.
 
I'm happy that each plant I put in the ground has at least 1 pod on it :)  I also learned that making my rows tomato/pepper/tomato/pepper was a bad idea as my tomato plants are 7ft tall now and as much as I try they're choking out some of the pepper plants.

has to be 100 pods on this thing, I counted 30 in just one section of the plant.  still has another 100 buds on it too!
