CMPMAN1974 2013 Grow Log

Well, yes I have started pepper seedlings. A bit late and slow to report here, but no worries, Sprouts are under lights. I sowed a lot of seeds on 2/15. Pretty happy with overall germination so far, except for some of the wilds. I'm happy I have 3 Tovarii plants doing well though!

Chocolate Scorpion Cross x Pimenta Tiger F1 pods are bigger than earlier ones on the plant now.

Nice pods, get off my white balance!

I kind of miss the old ruler where "made in china" was clearly printed on the side facing the camera

Loving the interior shot of that Morouga Caramel... Almost looks like a starburst

 

[JoynersHotPeppers]

We need to find a good prop and light source for our interior shots. I love that angle but it is so hard to light without a flash!

Those tiny bhuts look kind of like dorset nagas...

 

[cmpman1974]

I agree.  I got them from a local nursery.  They must not be educated as to what a true Bhut Jolokia is.  They still are very hot, nice pods, but seem to be more Naga lineage.

A killer pod....a mutation I got from the original red strain Pepperlover.com sent.  Love this pod!

That Lava is a beast......
 
The stem on that pod looks like some of mine.........it happens when I find a cool looking pod and continue to check it out every few days. All the turning and twisting eventually separates it from the branch...........  .
 
Glad to see you're getting the ripening pods.....the weather is near perfect here, I'm sure your plants are enjoying the same.....boomage..

Yellow Lava looks badass!

 

[MGOLD86]

Beautiful pod shots Chris!  Did you use a lightbox with a flash for that lava shot?  Beautiful!

 

[Dot Com]

yes, good shots. I have a micro tripod for my cam but rarely use it because its so small (no jokes please >:-) Anyway. I try to get good shots but they rarely match-up to Chris'. Nice variety.

I'm not sure I ever want to bite into that Apocolypse Red again.  Unbelievable pain.

i likes! the green bean!

 

[cmpman1974]

Yeah, I did.  That was a hard shot to get.  I think I'm having more fun doing the photography this year than pods. Haha.  There is SO much to learn on that aspect.  It's pretty neat and challenging.

It's really cool looking.  The coloring is unique.  First time I grew this one.

[MGOLD86]

I totally agree.  I just bought some post production software (Aperture) and have been shooting in RAW.  It is really awesome when you get the look you want, but a total PITA when you dont.  I find my self taking WAY more photos than last year, just to make sure I have "THE" shot.  I am reading a lot of websites devoted to using the software and am looking at eBooks on it as well.  There is so much to learn.

It does look pretty cool. I take it, it doesn't turn red (or any other color these days)?
How the taste and heat on this one.
 
I think I'll skip the apocalypse. I hope to live i bit longer

 

[3/5King]

super nice shots. A lot of scary looking pods Chris....I wouldn't want to bite into half of those! It's that time of year for all of the pod porn to start flooding out of the glogs!
