After a few YouTube vids I discovered Bhuts, then dug deeper and found a plethora of varieties I had never herd of. About mid April 2012, I Joined THP to get some info, when I was BOMBARDED with Hospitality. I was given seeds and even a few seedlings.

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
 
everything is looking good bro...even that cappy soaked colon cauterizer :rofl: . My plants (the majority) seemed to have hit a snag with the heat we have had lately. I haven't had my Caribbean red set a pod in over a week - thinking I may let the current pods ripen and then cut the branches back towards the main stem and let them re-grow until temps become ideal again.
 
Thanks every one!

Im pretty far behind everyone as I started peppers in April, but they seem to be catching up at a nice rate.
Cayennemist plants look awesome what plant is the third pod picture and that brain looks like it will be putting up a fight.
Thanks, I think you are talking about my Habanero? I have been avoiding the bathroom this morning...

Wow those plants are really producing. How do you do it?
Yup... goes around comes around.

Im not sure about trimming it back. Can you put a shade over it and give it some extra water?
 
Trimming it was just an idea...not sure what the deal is with them...they were thriving and putting out serious poddage - then I noticed leafhoppers then yellow leaf edges then dropped leaves...now the center of the biggest plant is sparsely foliated. I don't think the rain , daily 90 degree temps, and constant 90%+ humidity has aided with this either.

I may move both caribs to a more shaded area and remove all the deformed and damaged leaves....

I really can't complain though, between the two plants i have harvested over 250 pods.
 
:dance: Update, Now with 50% more pods! :dance:


Well First of all, I took a week off of THP, I was finding my self caught up in way too much drama.​
I am one of those guys that gets way in to every thing I do, and I let every thing get to me. Also updates are more interesting when you can see a major difference.​
So here is a update that shows some BIG change, Enjoy.​
