That planter is still my favorite planter. Everything is looking good, Matt! Good luck with your season.

Thanks man! Good luck with yours as well. :cool:

Love that planter. Got a few backups in case something ever happens to it. Lol

Your raised bed garden looks just pristine, Matt!

Glad to see you finally getting a chance to catch
your breath. Now nothing left but to enjoy your
nice grow!

Thanks Paul! I'll have to scope your grow log in a bit here and see what you've been up to. Happy to be back in business over here.

Back from hiatus here. Been a bit of a different year/season for me. Quite a few things to post updates on, but I think I'll do it over several posts to keep things easy. I've been posting photos fairly regularly on Facebook/Instagram, but it is much easier to post things there without having to put a whole lot of thought into it

First I want to show off my 3D printed contraptions from Texas Troy. A seed dryer and a seed organizer. Very excited/happy to have them and am making good use of them at the moment.

Looking forward to seeing how everyone else is doing with their plants!

Lots to catch up on!

Some photos from last weekend from the garden I have at my old place.

So I'm gonna read between the lines and ask: have you crossed Mutant CandleLight with the Variegated jalapeño?

Those look so frickin' amazingly!!! I love it when I see experimentation taking place! Beautiful stuff!!!!

Thanks matey. That's the plan. Waiting on them to flower

Those will be amazing!

What is this purple mutant in the foreground? Or not-so-green-looking......at all. Lol

I'm not 100% sure what that's crossed with to be honest. It's the only one that looks like that from all the seeds I planted. I had the parent plant next to some darker leaved varieties, but can't recall which.

There's a guy in Indonesia named Agus creating some real crazy crosses with mutants. Check out his page https://www.facebook.com/agus.b.widagdo

Wow! Crazy! (A few mutual friends. Lol.)
I'll be checking his stuff out!
Thank you!
I'm getting a few crosses to take this year (2-3 so far, I think.) I am growing out two previous crosses. One is on F3, another F5.......

Do you have some of your own going?

I do have some of his growing, but not the mutants. I have some on the way, but they've been held up in customs (or lost). Been waiting 4+ months for them now. :|

I was meaning have YOU crossed anything?
Customs and USPS: Cecil the turtle would say, "C'MON!!!!!"

That sucks!!!!

Hey, Matt, looks like you have been busy.

i really like your seed drying and packaging tools.
way cool all around.

PaulG · Oct 14, 2020

BTW, Matt, thought you might be interested in
how the variegated jalapeño turned out for me
this season.

Pods starting to change color.

Been great fun growing these out.
Thanks for sending them my way!
Really hoping to get some good
seeds from these pods.

I would really like to keep the plant
going during the winter. Any suggestions?
