Nice keep up the good work! Bout time to get those sprouts under a light

Darthpepper · Apr 27, 2013

I was trying my best to not overwater and ended up losing some of them including my lemon drops that I was so proud of. So I hit a wall for a bit and went 2-3 weeks without taking any pics. My babies got real leggy during that time. I didn't have any lights even though they were more than ready. I finally got "some lights" on them, but it was whatever I could grab laying around the house.

Here's once we got some "lights" on them

Sorry man these are post dated pics. I'm only around mid march right now

So I'm sorry there's such long periods between pics. Around mid march I went out and finally got some lights. But I had nowhere to hang them that was big enough to hold all of these once I potted up. Time to clean the closet! Got it all cleaned save 2 ACs. Threw in some sawhorses...

and a scrap of plywood...

hung the light...

and potted up.

Now I still need to get some extra chain to lower the lights.

So here's an updated list as of mid march. Had a few that either never germed or that I lost as babies to underwatering

Yellow fatalii
Chocolate fatalii
Sweet heat
Red bhut
Big bad bhut
Peach bhut
Caramel bhut
Red scotch bonnet foodarama
Hot cherry
Chocolate bhut X yellow 7 f5
Chocolate morouga cross
Nebru
Primo
Yellow 7
Jamaican mushroom
Yellow TS cardi
Red TS
Chocolate TS
Cappuccino habs
Ivory cluster habs
Douglah billy boy
Douglah yellow billy boy
Douglah red billy boy
Morouga

I only had 2 Jay's ghost scorp seeds. I dropped one into nowhereville when I was putting them in the jiffy pellets and the other never germed. I was pretty bummed

But wait! There's hope after all. About 2 weeks after I potted them and threw my germ tray to the side. More started to pop. They were 100% dry and in a 60 degree room. It caught me off guard but I'm not complaining.

So back to that list add

Antilles fire
Rusty madballz
Chocolate scotch bonnet
Chocolate bhut
Jay's ghost scorpion

So on April 6 I threw in some more seeds. Some as extra to go in a topsy turvey. I wanted to try some smaller varieties in it this year. They are a bit behind so we'll see how it goes.

Aji lemon drop
Hot lemon
Thai
Dilly street tamwork Birdseye

But I tried something different since they were "extras"

Not exactly innovative but I wanted to give it a try. Sown right into a solo cup, watered, Saran wrapped, on the heating pad.

Seems to somewhat work.

So here's my most up to date pics. You can see some major yellowing on some of the leaves from my previous overwatering.

Here's some closer ups

This is one of my favorite looking ones so far. Red bhut

Blurry hot cherry

Now the question. Should I leave these, or pop them off? Still a month or so from plant out. Some of my babies are loaded with them.

Thanks for stopping by, and checking it out. My lights are 4 x 4 foot t8s, and I'm very happy with them. I would have liked t5s, and I found some really nice ones. I decided for the price I would go for the t8s. I figured if in the future I opt to go with t5s I can always throw the t8s in the basement as a shop light.

WalkGood · Apr 30, 2013

Great list and very nice looking plants, how soon will they be heading outside?

Edit: Here's to wishing you a killa season & loads of pods \o/

Jamison · Apr 30, 2013

Wow man, what an awesome start. All the new growth looks super healthy! Keep up the good work boys!

Pepper-Guru · Apr 30, 2013

Looking great! Very healthy looking. Thanks for turning me onto the glog dude!

Darthpepper · Apr 30, 2013

Thanks guys. Appreciate the love. I'll try not to let everyone down, but it's a long season. Plenty of time for me to make more mistakes. That's why I started the glog in the first place. It's all learning for next year

Darthpepper · May 1, 2013

Yay! A blurry nighttime pic. But hey, it is what it is. Last years strawberries seem to be coming back strong. I love the topsy turvey for strawberries. It keeps them from getting EVERYWHERE.

Phil · May 3, 2013

I SOOOOO need to get lights for next season's grow. Mine are nowhere near that big, and I planted in mid February!

Edit for spelling correction
