I have to refresh my genetics-fu and figure out the what's what of the seeds I have remaining - but when I next give out Mystery Citrus, I'll make sure you get some ...

If Chris doesn't grow it out, I'll send it to you to grow.

I'm going to give it to a single person until someone likes it, because I think it's good to have a little redundancy in ambassadorship

I liked it that much. It tastes like someone spiked a fruit loop.

The idea is to get it to lots of people, not a few ... and an important part of that is generating interest.

I plan to offer it to FB, filmost, SmokenFire, Jamison, Wayright, buddy, PIC1, tcenten, Essegi, BigB, and any of the other cooking thread regulars - but I have to figure out how to deal w/ the seeds, first, and I don't know how ...

There's probably 40-50x from the original pods ... I have no idea what the right way to handle them now is, plant them and make zillions, but a gen later ... give out these ...

Since I don't know, I'm not doing anything ...

Wow a spiked fruit loop sounds awfully intriguing. Bet it would make some awesome sauces and jellies.

Oh man, I am taking those seeds out of the dirt now! I am having very bad flashbacks of being hunched over a plant with a thousand pods ripe and ready to be picked.

Yeah, PITA ... I think I had fifteen tiny pepper plants ...

I'd grow a plant out this year if you sent me seeds. You would have to let me send you some as well though Here's my Seed list I would think 3-5 seeds would be enough for most people. I usually send around 10 if I have a lot though. I don't use bubble envelopes, normally I just put them in a zip baggy, fold between two pieces of paper and line with a recycled piece of a bubble envelope that someone else sent me and stick into normal mail with one stamp (mainly cause i'm poor)

Like this

Far as I know my seeds have been arriving unscathed to everyone. At least no on has said anything if they haven't. I think that pic I had sent to Tommy

Yep that was to me. All seeds terminated quick and are doing great. I got one aji pineapple that took off and left the other two. 3 sets of huge leaves while the other two aji pineapple are still growing out the first set. Can't wait for those pods

Photo bomb while i'm watering. Everyone is looking a lot better. some still got a ways to go but i'm happy with them so far.

Bump a naga

Bump it up!

D3monic · Mar 18, 2015

Thanks! lol BOC still a little yellow but I think it's bouncing back.

Sweet Datil, the one is rather sad looking but starting to get some green back to it.

D3monic · Mar 18, 2015

Yay my Carbonero seeds arrived from Pepper T Sherwood. To my understanding this is a 3 way cross of Carbon Bhut X 7pot X orange habanero. All the plants and pods I've seen of it look fantastic. I look forward to adding this one to my grow this year.

Scorched · Mar 18, 2015

Plants are looking really good. I've seen the Carbonero on FB. Looks like an interesting pepper

Yea all the pics i've seen on FB looked really nice. Curious to see how it tastes.

I've got lots of new healthy growth the past few days.

Aaaaand flowers already

White bullet hab

Jamaican Hot Chocolate

Bolsa de dulce

Fidalga Roxa

Just to name a few. Not sure if I should keep them picked off or welcome the stall in growth since I got another month and a half till plant out.

D3monic · Mar 20, 2015

Can't really call these seedlings anymore. They are getting to be big girls just like their older sisters.

Seedling bomb!

Goats weed has a lot more purple/green to it than in pic

I ended up dumping out two pots of 7pot white because they was sad and sickly. I transplanted the CGN-21500 into them so I will have all 3 plants to play with. I got a few crosses in mind for those like the CGN-21500 X Orange Wild Brazil, CGN-21500 X White Fatalii and a few others.

Looking good. I love the bushy look of the Peruvian White Habs.

Thanks, I had fimmed them because they was growing so fast. Really brought out the side growth. Same with the paper lantern habs.

Are you snipping the flowers or just letting them do their thing?

Debating at this point, I picked them off the white bullet hab because it's so small and bushy want it to get more growth but some the others i'm debating on letting them get runty pods to slow their growth. I got a good month in a half to two months before it's safe to plant out.

tctenten · Mar 20, 2015

That is why I asked. I have been picking them off, but if leaving them will slow the growth down a bit and alleviate the need to pot up, it might be the thing to do for me.

D3monic · Mar 22, 2015

Spread all the older plants out some to give them a little bit more elbow room. Went from 2 trays to 4. I'll flip them each day so they all get a equal share of T5 and LED

Since i'm taking pics, top rack

PaulG · Mar 22, 2015

They look great, Michael! Your rack is money!

Thanks, I just gave all the ones under LEDs a good water and fert. They are really bouncing back after adding Lime to my water. Every time I fill the water jug I put a tbsp of lime in it. Help counteract the low ph of the hydro nutes. They have greened up and put on lots of new growth.

PaulG · Mar 22, 2015

Glad to hear the lime is doing the trick for you, Michael.

Sky's the limit, now, buddy!
