D3monic's Crossing Project/Community Grow

Looking good guys,

I've got flowers on most of mine down here, plants are now getting big.

I'll post some pictures sometime soon.

The plants are doing mint as. Touch wood no pests so far, everything is looking mint. Had hardly any rain so I was able to regulate the water intake myself which is always good.

The leaves are actually much greener that it looks here, this phone always seems to make it more yellow for some reason.

First flowers popping up - its on an El Scorpenero F3 Orange.

Awesome! Plants look great! Looking forward to the orange pheno. Tasted great!

Noticed a bit of leaf curl on one of the plants - doesnt quite look like mites, or does it? I was thinking of giving it the old Lime Sulphur treatment.

I always assume mites and treat as such. Usually gets better after treatment.

Started to germ D3 Goat Giant, D3 Goat Yellow, Omni Bonnet, and El Scorponero #6 (yellow) today. Looking forward to every one of them.

Sweet just sprayed lime sulphur pretty generously. They won't be pretty plants, although the new growth should be fine I hope. As long as the pods come out well I'll be happy.

As promised, I've got some pictures of my contribution to the project!

As a quick refresher, I've got growing:

4x Devil's Prick F2
3x Aji Painapple F2
4x 7 Pot Burgundy X CGN 21500 F2
4x El Scorponero F2

Here's the 4 Devil's Pricks

Here's the 3 Aji Painapple, youngest in the front, then middle, then eldest.

Only the eldest is up to flowering/budding yet, but it isn't wanting to do so.

Most of its forks have no buds, which is quite strange, as all the other plants are producing quite well.

Here's a shot of it.

And here's the most advanced plant out of all the project crosses - El Scorponero No. 3.

It's got pods! :woohoo:

And they look gnarly! :onfire:

Most of the plants in this picture are the crosses, of various ages & sizes.

And there we go! That's where I am at the moment!

TBG, over and out!

Looks like you're off to a really good start! Cool pods on that one, can't wait to see how they look fully grown.

I'll be starting my first round of seeds here pretty soon myself.

Have given the plants a 2nd spray of lime sulphur, so hopefully no mites will survive this.

The weather's been mint, all plants have really cranked it, I'll have to start spacing them out soon I think.

Looking great, mite damage doesn't look too bad at all.

i'm just sorting through seeds today getting ready to soak my first round.

Nah man - no open flowers yet on these. My regular chillies that aren't these hybrids are starting to flower but these got started a bit later so I think fruit is still at least another month away since the flowers are still not even open yet.

Hey yeah I'll probably give it a 3rd soaking next weekend just to be absolutely sure, I know that stuff can get out of control pretty quickly.

Sweet! Yeah I probably won't have any seeds for you till like March or something.. but i think it'll be sooner than last year since our summer so far has been great.

Yea we got such a narrow window of overlapping seasons. I'll try to get some out earlier this year as well.

No worries man - if I manage to get some seeds to you by say March, or April, hopefully it'll allow us to keep this going. At this rate we can get to F8 in 2 years!

I was thinking, were you going to get them registered officially, etc? Ive looked up and here is what I found:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Cultivar_Registration_Authority - seems this is the place that looks after this type of stuff.

Also seems that they dont actually have a site as such, but are described here: https://www.ishs.org/nomenclature-and-cultivar-registration/icra

Unless you've already researched this and know how to register them? If the cost is reasonable - I'm happy as to go halves with you if there are some fees to register new varieties etc. But yeah just a thought.

If there is a cost, it might be a good idea to set up a Kickstarter or something, I'd say that crowdfunding would cover the costs easily!

Honestly the thought never even occurred to me. I'll look into it

I'll have a look as well man, happy as to help.

Although, if it's too expensive or too much mucking around, not too fussed aye, just being involved in this is awesome enough.

ThatBlondGuy101 · Jan 17, 2018

Starting to get decent pods on a few plants, so now its time to start looking at phenos (minus colour)

El Scorponero has 3 definite different phenos from 3 plants so far.

"Long Pheno"

"Short Pheno"

"Gnarly Pheno"

I'm in love with the gnarly pheno, every single pod on the plant is FREAKING AWESOME!!!!! :onfire:

Also got 2 probably different phenos from 2 Devil's Prick plants. Both only have 1st set of pods, so shape may be off.

"On-Pheno" (can definitely see its namesake in this pod)

"Off-pheno" (not so much)

No pods yet on any of the 7 Pot Burg X CGN 21500 or Aji Painapple, but the 7 Pot X will be very soon, and the Painapple not too far behind (its finally starting to flower)

So, should I be isolating seed from every plant? If not, which ones (at this stage) would you like me to isolate?

All The Best, TBG.
