I have enough powder for years ...

Doubt I'd make a powder I'd use given my JHP collection.

Ever made jelly, I've not? ...

I should try a lacto-ferment, maybe? ...

maybe the BS with some ginger, coriander, lemon juice or zest and some kind of light fruit base... applesauce? I don't know, the yellow just screams for something citrusy

I've never had a pepper jelly

Kiwi?

grantmichaels · May 7, 2015

i've cooked meals w/ pods many times, but i've never canned, jarred, made oil infusions, hot sauces, jelly etc ...

Grant, jelly is very easy, well within your abilities. If you want a generic recipe, let me know.

I was watering plants and had a nice idea of crossing the Paper Lantern Hab with Jays peach scorpion. both exibit nice growth patterns.

Yeah! Will be tricky to keep the peach coloring methinks, but that would be awesome.

grantmichaels said:
yeah, that's my stock to practice at making something - for later when i have them from the grow ...any ideas welcome, lol ...i wonder if pepper jelly is within my capacity? ...

Jelly is fun and easy! Especially with two people. The fiancé and I made lemon drop jelly last season with orange bell pepper and red Peter pepper for a bit more heat and color contrast. Turned out really well.

Love your crosses.

Looking forward to see your success with the baccatum X chinense crosses. My (limited) experience says that the real problem starts when you get to F2 ...

D3monic · May 8, 2015

Thanks, hopefully I cross and hurdles that arise. I'll just be happy if out of all the attempts I make just a few are successful

Since a lot of the previous crosses where aborted I went ahead and recrossed and added a few more. Mostly just what had pollen and flowers ready. No rhyme or reason to it. Still waiting on baha goat, Butch T and a few others to throw either some pollen or flowers.

Here's the current crossed list as it stands.

Mother X Father Number Flowers Crossed
A: White Fatalii X Bolsa de Dulce 1
B: Aji Crystal X Fidalga Roxa 3
C: White Fatalii X Fidalga Roxa 3
D: Fidalga Roxa X Bolsa De Dulce 4
E: 7pot Yellow BS X Aji Limon 2
F: Fidalga Roxa X Aji Limon 4
G: Bahamian Goat X Butch T Yellow 1
H: Fidalga Roxa X White Fatalii 1
I: Paper Lantern Habanero X Aji Pineapple 3
J: Bolsa de Dulce X Criolla Sella 2
K: Crystal X Tepin X Lemon Drop (f2) 3

White Fatalii X Bolsa de Dulce pod is looking good

Added some more White Fatalii X Fidalga Roxa crosses since others dropped - Hopefully these take because I really couldn't see any pollen on the 100s of flowers on roxa but I went ahead and molested a ton of them with a qtip.

First viable flower on Bahamian goat, hit it with some sorely lacking pollen off butch T yellow

Fidalga Roxa seen more un-consenting interracial sexin than a drunken sorority girl. She just so primed for the molestin.

So far Crystal and Bolsa de Dulce are favorites of mine as far as setting pods goes. Almost every flower sets. Makes sense to use them as mothers.

Of my 3 Bolsa de Dulce plants two throw round pods and this one throws bullet pods.

D3monic · May 9, 2015

Soooo tired, lol. Plants going out for some fun in the sun

grantmichaels · May 9, 2015

Man, I wish I had your greenhouse budget

LOL.

D3monic · May 9, 2015

Lol , live off my grocery budget and you can get one those giant ass greenhouses for what u spend on meat. Though you live in a giant fckin greenhouse so don't need one.

I'm just fuckin' around ...

It costs around $600/mo to feed and maintain clean hygiene for Danielle and I, two kitteh, and 3x dogs.

I don't really know if that's high or low, but it's damn expensive to not eat a bunch of nitrite, salt, and hormone-loaded shit - that I know and feel the pain of ...

I found them at Michaels craft store if you have those there, It was by the make your own jewelry section.

B: Crystal X Roxa all aborted- Failure

E: 7pot yellow bs X Aji Limon

F: Fidalga Roxa X Aji Limon

I: Paper Lantern X Aji Pineapple- One had aborted so I went ahead and recrossed a few flowers. up to 5 crossed flowers on that plant now.

J: Bolsa de Dulce X Criolla Sella looks like it may be a go

Added a few more crosses today

L: Paper Lantern X 7pot Yellow BS = 1 pollen was negligible so stopped after the one. Will cross more later when more pollen avail

Butch T Yellow dropped a fair amount pollen so hit a few with it

M: Goatsweed X Butch T Yellow= 2 flowers, only one flower per goatsweed plant where ready.
N: 7pot Yellow BS X Butch T Yellow = 4 flowers
O: Paper Lantern X Butch T Yellow= 5 Flowers
