Dot Com's 2013 Glog

Just made it under the wire, 3 h 18 m to go to 2013 ;) New grow started using a light for the first time this year. Don't know how many will survive (fingers crossed) because my grow room is not a dedicated grow room & consequently the temp is not above 70. Click on pics for larger view. Not got this hosting site's procedures down yet :oops:

C-Not Madballs Rusty 7-Pot (this one might not make it) & Dorset (R )


viper (L) & Douglah ( R)


indian guhahati[sp.]


over-wintering dorset (L) & red bhut (R )(no green on that one yet):


whole crop (light raised to get pic)
 
 just ate one of these morouga pods. They've been on the balcony while I was away up in New England this past week and seem to still be growing outdoors. Must've gotten crossed w/ something , being out on the balcony and all, because I just ate one, the size of a pea, but it was orange in color as opposed to being red. Regardless, the heat-level was in the super-hot level. Scary at first because most superhots end up getting crossed w/ lesser hot varieties, when its unintentional, and the heat was not diminished. Will put up pics later of this and more ripeing Red Scorps..

update on some late grows, mutant plants, and late bloomers:
 
mutant Morouga putting-out dwarf pods. This plant was started in the off-season and suffered from all the assorted ills that indoor grows are want to suffer :( . Stopped growing for a while and leaves are pale-colored. I even changed the dirt but will have to wait & see.

just ate 1/2 of the morouga. Second from right in the top of pic. It was fully orangish/reddish & had placenta throughout although other superhot peppers I've seen have had more. I was a little nervous and I was right to be. Hot right at the outset and produced hiccups. After around a minute or two went down the throat like lava for 2 mins after that. Definitely a stingy one. Stomach seems ok right now (4 mins in). Tongue & throat still burning.
 
heres the pic from ystrdy. Look at the oil :fireball:

just ate 1/2 of this one (side w/o the stem. Look at the placenta on it. I could see the capsacin oil glistening on it as well. Supposed to be a Yellow Brain & it was hot although not hiccuping or panic-mode hot . I'd consider this one as a sucess story.

update on my unknown (can't read that mandarin or cantonese writing???) "chinese" supermarket bought seeds. Threw 10 seeds in a pot to keep me busy in the off-season and they're already putting-out flowers! :

Finally starting to ripen:

I trimmed all the lower foliage as I always do after moving plants indoors to make them less appealing to pests and easier for me to monitor for that.

just ate one of my Chinese, grocer-bought, cherry peppers(?) that I grew from seed (see above post #228). Respectable heat like a jalapeno I guess:

Nice progression from last year.....outta the window , and into the ground :dance:
I sense new digs here?
 
The superhots have a way with kickin underestimation right in the nutz, HARD :onfire: , and for some reason, there is always a next time......
 
Have a good one-
