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

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)

first VGlog entry here short vid of my balcony grow on a breezy Saturday afternoon. The pale plant in the middle is a morouga & it seems to have gone into hyper-slow growth mode (The lengthy description is on Youtube beneath the vid) I used my trusty casio ex zs 10 digi camera to record it.

I still can't believe what you're doing in an apartment.
 
Fantastic work!

 

[Dot Com]

update. Douglahs are still green but good sized:

oldest plant I have. Grown from seed from Thai grocery pods.

 

[Dot Com]

update:
 
guhahati looking promising

 
 
two of my three Peach Trinidad scorpion pods (still deep green after being this size going on 3 weeks)

 
 
Think I'm going to eat this one tonight after work C-Not Madballz 7- Pot Red Cross Big Pods Twisted   I ate a whole Dorset around a week ago so I'm hoping all goes well (its around 3 1/2 inched long)
 
 

 

[Devv]

Nice looking pod, it should deal some pain!

 

[Dot Com]

just cut it open lengthwise. Pretty good amount of placenta but the scary thing is that there are droplets of oil on the inside as well     Well, here goes nuthin'
 

*** edit (10:12 P.M.) just ate 1/4 of pepper cut length wise. Thoroughly chewed for around 15 seconds. IMMEDIATE HEAT!!!   Hiccups started within 15 seconds. Saliva pouring out now. Hottest part is tip of the tongue at the moment.
 
*** edit (10:16 P.M.) no sweating, heat primarily limited to tip of tongue area. Eating another 1/4 piece now.
 
*** edit (10:18 P.M.) second piece still as fircely hot initially as first piece! I think this pepper is hotter than the Dorset I tried last week. Sinus starting to act up now as well as backathathroat Took me longer than 30 seconds to chew this piece. Must have had more placenta. I think I'm going to stop at eating 1/2 of it as the pepper is 3 1/2 inches long and preetty darn hot for me!!! Ened up eating half of it lengthwise. Taking deep breaths now but still not sweating.
 
*** edit (10:24 P.M.) still top and front of tongue on fire. Heart rate up slightly. Looks like I'll be able to wait the full 10 mins before the whip cream Endorphin rush hitting now too

And 8 minutes later?

Whoops, guess you were updating while I was reading.

 

[Dot Com]

(10:29 P.M.) was able to make it the full 10 mins before my whip cream in a can. Was pretty scared about this one even moreso after cutting it open
 
I think my friend was right in that its not a good idea to eat it in pieces because the 2nd piece was just as hot as the first. I should have just eaten 1/2 of it in one bite but I wanted to be careful because I had no idea what the Scoville rating is on this. anyone know? I think the whole Dorset I ate last week was supposed to be 800,000+ based on the charts that were posted in the HB22 thread the other day. I believe this one might be hotter.
 
Here is the chart(s) Mr. Hill posted: http://thehotpepper.com/topic/40718-carolina-reaper-and-pepper-stabilization/?p=860795
 
I got 8 more pods on the plant   One of my most prolific. Seeds from an awesome THP member

 

[Sawyer]

Looks like a winner.

 

[Dot Com]

speak of the devil: one of my Peach Trinidad Scorps started ripening overnite :

 

[WalkGood]

Great looking plants, video and pictures. I also grew on my balcony while living in JA and also outside but in pots as the ground was too hard where I lived, don’t think they would have let me amend the soil or landscaping but pots were ok.
 
I enjoyed the read of your pepper experience and she’s a beautiful pod, pics in half are very good. Keep up the great grow and have a great weekend.

 

[Devv]

Brave one there eating that hot bugger, nice review!
 
Glad you're getting some pods, fantastic grow you have going on!

 

[Dot Com]

still have a morich, dorset (2nd plant), & morouga that I haven't got any pods off of this season. The morich might end up producing but I don't expect the other two will pod-up. If they do, it'll be great.

 

[Dot Com]

douglah showing signs of ripening:
 
 

 
 
Viper still growing after pruning but not ripening yet. This is the plant that was almost 6 ft/2m tall & I pruned it down to around 8") This pod is bigger than the pod it produced in the off-season, under the lamp, when it was big )
 
 

 

[Dot Com]

my "supposed to be a barackpore but isn't" plant. Meh. seeds get mixed up/ or cross bred by accident. Anyone have any ideas as to this ones ID??? They are all coming in slender & pointy like this:
 

 

[Dot Com]

My trinidad scorpion is turning red. Anyone know if peach peppers turn red before peach???

Anyway, Douglahs are ripening (3 of them) and Vipers are set and ready to ripen. Morich has small buds forming on it so I might gets pods off of it yet. Morouga is still just plodding along doing nothing. Maybe it succombed to a virus & is sterile now? Slow to no growth on that one. I'll attempt to grow one under a light if I have to. A Morouga is a "must grow" for me.

 

[Dot Com]

got another ripe dorset that needed to be harvested. Guess I'll eat it after work. You can see its corking like its ripe. That'll make the 3rd dorset I've eaten:

with flash:

 

[Dot Com]

just "done the deed" (ate my first super hot in one bite) the Dorset. I always open the pod too to make sure theres no critters in there. Seen that happen on youtube.:
