I now have somewhere around 20-30 Strains in all stages.

I have a nice little home made 100$ greenhouse that is already the home of a bunch of Veggies. Why not some Peppers?

Well enough ranting, here's SOME of what I got crackn'

If you see anything wrong please let me know. As you can tell I dont have a lot to show off. This Glog is more so I can get help and learn
 
I got a funny pepper spray story! On my way to work one day I came across one of my Sailors with some dude kicking his car and yelling. I stayed in my truck and yelled for him to chill out. He ran across the street and stuck his head in my window, I already had the can in my hand...he said. "What are you some kind of bada$$? Is that mace, I eat mace for breakfast!" I said..."this ain't mace!" and gave him a face full, point blank. Funny reaction occurred involving him in the fetal position . He didn't want any more for breakfast for sure. We have to get sprayed with the stuff annually to stay qualified. Don't understand??? I don't have to get shot with my weapon to stay qualified???

Lol Nice.
You know, every time a tough guy cries, a fairy gets its wings. BHAHAHA!
I would have payed to see that.

My first encounter with Pepper Spray, I was 12ish. My aunt had one on her key chain, it was the 90s and that was sorta popular I guess.
Well She left me in her car while she ran in to the store :onfire: Not a good Idea.
Lesson learned! When playing with Pepper Spray, it's best to do so in a well ventilated place :shocked:
 
UPDATE!

Hey guys sorry I have been working on the worm guide and looking for a job, so I haven't had time to put anything on here for a few days.​
That means I got a lot to show.​

Lets start up stairs...

CIMG0173.jpg
This was saposed to be a Jala... Ummm I think I messed up some where lol​
I'm thinking its one of three options: Red Bhut, Yellow Bhut, or BrainStrain. To me it looks more like a baby Bhut.​
Either way None of those germed for me so this plant is exciting for me.​

Lookin good! You got a ton of late starts! Going to be fun to watch your grow, will be like pushing the rewind button on mine! I have a bunch I really wanna start, but am going to hold off till next year. I have seeds for all those no-germs you listed so let me know if need any.

Naw Tepins by nature and design require more time or to be shot out of a bird's ass with hot kernel softening liquid..known as "Bird Shit" hehe glad they peeped their lil heads up!!!!!!!!
 
Lovin all the late starts and variety!
You know your a chilehead when you start seeds at any time of year :)
I just started some of the varieties that I didn't germ back in January.
I mean what was I supposed to do.. let em sit in the fridge til next year? lol.

Btw, I loved the worm bin post! Very detailed and informational.
I was making my own homemade worm bin the day I stumbled onto that post, good stuff.
Hope the rest of the year treats you well.

Yeah I got a nice climate for it here in San Diego. I've lived hear about 8 years I have seen it freeze maybe 3 times. With the additional help of my greenhouse, I'm hoping to get some Christmas pods! :think:

3 of the 4 walls are 6ft stucco cinder block walls. I think it will hold heat with a little modification. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
 
Flowers and Pods


This Tea stuff Sure is making my plants look happy.​

Good luck with your pepper braids. Was a hot one today. Came home to some really Pissed off plants over here. Think its time to set the drip system to daily instead of every other day.
