Deadpouk's Minimalistic Glog

I've been hesitating for a long time before starting a new Glog,... last year a lot of things happened and I had a hard time keeping it up to date. I hope that this year I'll manage to be more regular.

In January, driven by the desire to sow some seeds, I put some in my aerogarden...

My grow list for this year is:
(There is no guarantee that I won't sow more)

- Pepapeach Stripey (Growdown 2023) : C.Baccatum
- Pepadew South Africa (from Welsh dragon Chilli) : C.Baccatum
- Pepadew Peach (from Welsh dragon Chilli): C. Baccatum
- Rocotto, Mini Olive (Fataliiseeds): C.Pubescens
- Rocoto Marlene (Fataliseeds): C. Pubescens
- Aji Gusanito (Fataliiseeds): C.Chinense
- Arroz Con Polo (Refined Fire Chili): C.Chinense
- Biquinho Red (Fataliiseeds): C. Chinense
- Some F1 Seeds i got from Welsh dragon Chili, if they germinate.

All seeds were sown on February 25, except the one in my aerogarden.

All I have to do now is wait for them to sprout, and start prepping my field to plant them at the end of May.

I'm curious about the RB003

Carolina Reaper x 7 Pot Brainstrain = hard pass from me lol

I'm down with the others. Happy growing @Deadpouk!

I grow it mainly for looks , I going to grow one or 2 at most.
I'm thinking of growing mostly Korean pepper this year. You need a lot of powder and flakes to make kimchi.

In my quest to make my own kimchi mix, i got my hands on some seeds, from.... etsy
No idea how this is going to end but im going to grow them out.

Yum. Kimchi = good.

If they grow true, those are the right peppers for it. Fingers crossed.

Edit. I just looked up KSEEDZ. They look legit to me. I think you're in good shape.

I was looking for the exact same seeds but shipping was out of this world so I ended up ordering Korean Dark Green from Vertiloom!

Have you ever grown vertiloom seeds? Is it a reliable source?

 

[Tinkerbelle]

I've grown Vertiloom seeds for the past 2 years, tomatoes and peppers, and found them very reliable
I'm holding back from buying from them at the moment, I'm waiting for 2023 seeds to appear

Yeah several times (peppers, tomatoes) and so far so good (great germination rates and everything grew true). Additionally, the owner (Wouter) is very nice and responded quickly to the few questions I asked.

Looks like you had a good season in 2023, Thibaut!
That harvest pic is money! Good luck with the new
seed source this year.

Clean up day, prepping the small grow tent this year. Waiting for the growdown seed to start the growyear

Edit: 02/25/2024
Couldnt wait to start some seeds, i threw the first round in the aerogarden.

1 - scotch bonnet caramel for a friend
2 - 4 RB003
5 - 6 rooster spur (Frutescens)
7 - 8 sweet moruga
9 - Habanada because i had one space left

 

[Deadpouk]

Got some kind of twin seedling from only one seed, i think im going to grow this one out to see what happens. The pepper is a gochu pepper (annum) from my kimchi pepper tray.

Germination wise, im really happy with kseeds from etsy, more than 100% in 7 days! 21 seedlings from 20 seeds

I did start seeds in my aerogarden but they failed miserably.

 

[wiicek]

That is cool. Too cool.


Hmm, I wonder if it would be something passing with genes or even worth it. Like, will it make stronger or weaker plant... two times more energy or what.

 

[Deadpouk]

Everything is growing nicely, we have summer weather at the moment they enjoy it.

My double pepper from à single seed is growing nicely to

Im not doing this normaly but im going to repot a second time, plant out is still far away.

The pepper i have right now are, a lot of gochu pepper, rb003, sweet moruga and korean pepper from the seed train.
I did start the growdown seeds, and a few others (flexuosum, tasmanian black, and a few more RB003).

 

[Deadpouk]

Pepper plants and tomatos waiting for plant out in 2-3 weeks. Most peppers are 1 foot tall and flowering crazy...

The double pepper is doing nicely to, and the the grown down container is ready to get is seedling. Im going to take the container inside in a few days, to get the dirt warmer and ready.

Masochistic enough to try avocado as well, I see

 

[Deadpouk]

Started to prep the field for my plants.

Currently waiting for a roll of landscape fabric, should be delivered today. I need to amend the soil a bit to plant out this week end, the peppers are currently hardening of on my balcony.
I need to fix the houpehouse to, but im just going to put my tomatoes in there.

Found a friend near the house, im pretty happy lots of biodiversity the past few years since the farmers use less pesticides and weedkillers.

I've spotted some green whip snakes, foxes and hedgehog to. Its great they keep the mices and snails in check.
