I didn't know houses in TX actually had fireplaces.
Plants look great. Stay warm.
Thanks Jeff!
Sure we have fireplaces, they sure do come in handy when we have this kind of winter, and really help with the heating costs.
We had 20° this AM and broke out of the colder weather some.
I know we don't get near as cold as those who live farther north, but it's cold for us!

Killer updates every time!
Too cold for Tejas weather, I'd be all rolled up like a burrito with a bunch of "ponchos".
That cold vortex thing doesn't look like it's hit this side of the country. It's been actually pretty warm, and if my plants would be a bit bigger I would be taking them out to soak up some sunshine

Be safe and stay warm.

Thanks Walt!
Yeah, you guys lucked out, it came straight at us and then slipped east. From what I understand the north central and northeast are in for the the worst of it. Hopefully everyone stays safe and warm. Tomorrow the ladies get to go outside until Saturday night. That should please them

Great setup Scott. How old are alot of the youngin's? I figured that would be about as big as many of mine will get before plant out
The ferment looks good. No idea how to ensure maximum tastiness, but would love to hear more info on the ferments.
Keep the pics coming!
Thanks Adam!
Most are a week or so with the older ones 3 weeks. I'm striving for 12" tall plants at dirt day. Normal pepper plant out is March 15th, after that the temps ramp up so quickly that the supers last year never set pods in the spring. So I want them "right there" at plant time.
First time with the ferments, so I'm experimenting

Hi Scott,
Now that the flavors have had a little time to mingle in the 'fridge, how do you like the taste of your ferments? Inquiring minds want to know...
I haven't tasted it yet...LOL I was gonna leave it until later this week, I know the acid content is up there so it should just get better...hoping it's killer!

I was kinda put off by the ferment flavor at first, but it either moderates or the taster does. And thus far, I have only fermented pure pepper mash and added it to a fresh veggie recipe.
Yeah, those plants are way prettier than anything I set out last year. You done good!
-2° here. Might be close to a record.
Thanks JJJ!
As I mentioned earlier, hoping they will hit the ground running this spring. Actually the chinense are ahead of schedule, guess some pruning will be needed OR warmer weather!
Will let everyone know once I taste the ferments, everyone raves about them, so they must be good!
Stay warm!

Ferment looks great Scott! After you taste it, think about it for a while and let the direction come to you.
Your grow is green and awesome too!
Mike
Thanks Mike!
That's what I plan to do, was just looking for hints

I think as is it should be fine...perhaps too hot...
The ladies get some real sun for the next few days, yours should be OK too no?
Thanks for stopping by all!
A few pics done on the kitchen table, still nasty outside...
I topped my first plant the Choc Hab that was getting too tall. It already has some lower branching..so it should do fine. Trying to root the top in a week seaweed mix...
Yellow Cardi, the next gal to get a trim..
Some of the younger ladies in pots..
MoA, two of them..a few plants got a sunburn on Saturday. It hit a high of 71°
Fatalii, with just 12 hours a day doing the rotation they still have the dense growth pattern...Just love the T5!
Yellow fatalii
Scotch Bonnet from an online source, kinda, sorta looks like part Annuum? We'll see as it matures I guess..
Jay's Red Ghost Scorp, some of these suffered some wind damage Sunday morning
Choco Bhut Douglah, note the "T5 burn". I only see this on the lighter colored plants...
I hope everyone has a safe and warm week!
