Carolina Reaper (HP22B) Community Grow

A few members including myself are growing seeds for this variety ASAP. I and a few others here on THP thought it would be fun to have a "community glog" strictly for this variety, a fun thread about the HP22B and growing this pepper for the first time.

I think we should start a community glog like this anytime there is a new pepper with alot of attention and alot of people growing it, possible world record holder or not. It would be fun, and this should be fun! That's why we all love this hobby is it not?

Therefore, this will be a drama-free, controversy-free, fun glog for all of us growers and others to enjoy. If you grow, please chime in. If you're growing this variety, please post pictures and chime in about your observations.

Again.. This thread is ment to be fun and informative, but mostly fun :)
Please. Pretty please with sugar on top.. lol. Keep it drama-free.
I, and many others would really appreciate this thread to stay that way.

Now lets get to growing!

I went with the paper towel method for this guy just like I have with all my mid-season starts. It is far from my favorite way to germinate seeds but I'm in no hurry this time of year which is why I went this route. I've had the seeds in the paper towel for about a week now on top of my HOT5 lighting closet. The seeds should be showing root tips soon, then they will be visiting some real soil :D

How's it going for everyone else?

Wow SD! Impressive!! What kind of lights do you have that under? What a monster!
For most of its life so far I've had it under a 250w light. MH before it put out any flowers and then swapped the bulb to hps.
But because the plant is so big now I've put one 150w MH light above and one below shining up, I added the extra lights because I think it has out grown the 250. I only have those two 150w lights going during the day when my solar panels are up and running.
 
I just finished potting up six more of the best Carolina Reaper seedling I had, and have them under CFL's on a 12 on/12 off timer. Here's the pics...

I grew out a plant from the seeds that were in Lock's smooth reaper. It just started producing pods, this is the most mature:
