D3's 2018. This will be a good year.

2018 already, time sure does fly by 
 
Been a member on this forum a few years now (2013?). This has to be a record for me. I usually change hobbies by now. Maybe it's because we get a few months down time to relax and take a break from caring for plants. 
 
Here's the growlogs of the past
 
D3 2017 Keeping it mild
 
D3monic's Crossing Project/Community Grow
 
D3's 2016 Growlog
 
D3monic's 2015 Glog. Lots of pods
 
D3monic's 2014 Glog n Gardening bonanza
 
I'm getting things ready for this years grow. Looking at adding a new grow light for seedlings. I had some nice LED ones but they are starting to go out and my t5 fixture stopped working. Probably the ballast but who knows. 
 
I'm looking at ordering this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019J3UPUS/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A18TGAB2SJ5GBJ&psc=1 I just need to make sure it will fit on my bakers shelf right. Should be plenty bright enough for plant starts. 
 
I haven't come up with a list of plants for this year yet. I know it's going to be mostly my crosses with maybe a few I plan on crossing and some for hotsauce.

Great pics and plants. I like the the wild Brazil plants and they sure look prolific.

Nice grow!

 
Thanks CSB! it's been a slow year it seems like. I'm hoping to be swamped with pods soon

Thanks, they are very prolific. They can get to be pretty decent sized as well if in a large pot.

First D3 pods!!!  I ate both raw on some fajitas.  Lots of juice and thick flesh.  Flavor was scorpion / orange with habanero heat.  I look forward to eating more of them.
 
El Scorponero F3 orange pheno
 

 

 

[D3monic]

Looks very thick walled, glad you enjoy them

Oops sorry - I meant to put that in the D3 community thread.  One too many ciders last night.  
 
Great looking pods!  Those white ones look gnarly.

only downside with that one is the pods start to mold before they turn peach. I haven't tasted that one yet. 

 

[D3monic]

Papa joe on left, foodarama sb on the right
 

 
First ripe reaper
 

 
Tasty f4 of El Scorponero. Nice large pods
 

 
f3 pheno of El Scorponero. Low heat, tastes like cucumber or melon. I really like this ones color and flavor. Shapes aren't bad either  with the  long tails. 
 

 
not reaper
 

 

 

[FreeportBum]

looking good buddy! 

 

[D3monic]

Made another big batch of giardiniera. Extra spicy. Loads of El Scorponero, ghostly penos, jalapenos, hogsweed, anaheim, poblano, red pepper, onza amarillo, hungarian wax ect ect ect. 
 

 

 
Was enough to fill 9  jars
 

 
Pic from  last batch
 

 
Kabobs the other  night

Love the  look of the Hot Rod Serrano x maui purple. So pretty. Also got some  going in a  pot out front with Blue Christmas. Will be my ornamentals every year. Taste great too. 
 

 
Tried to get some harvesting in today but seemed like every 20 mins it was storming. 
 

 
Large orange thai, Prik chi fa, several accidental orange thai  crosses  (probably with hogsweed as they grew in proximity last year)  
 

 
Managed to get a decent harvest in even though I was soaked. Just didn't have time to process any of them. Debating on selling a few sfrb but everything OP this year.

Nice man, I really like the look of that HRS x MP ! I've got a couple where the pods point up for a bit then fall over as the pods get bigger. How's that one taste?
