Dragon49's 2014 Grow Log

It’s time for the 2014 Chile Pepper Grow Log!  This year, I’ve decided to go with the “normal” F1 Superchiles.  It has been a ton of fun growing from my own saved Superchile seeds year after year, but last season I had too many “runty” plants that did not produce well.  I’m of course keeping all of my seeds.  I’m also going to sprout a few Aji Cereza’s.  These are from Peter Merle:

I just threw out my 3 indoor plants—They are old and not flowering anymore.  If I had more space, I'd keep them, but need the space under the lights for new seedlings.  Last Monday, I tried to sprout a saved seed from one of John Ford's Pimente de Neyde x Bhut f6 Peppers,  (He tells me that they were not isolated by netting, so it may be crossed with something) as well as one of my mystery superhot yellow's.  On Friday, I tried to sprout one more of each.  Hopefully pics to come soon.

Thanks!
 
Weird season for me  -Everything, not just Peppers, (Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Eggplants) is starting very late.  If the weather holds out for another 2 months, I should get many more pods.

No new sprouts yet.  I just tried to sprout 3 more:
 
1 - 7 Pot Barrackpore
2 - Brazilian Ghost
3 - Impact F2

 

[dragon49]

Still no new sprouts.  I just tried to sprout a Trinidad Scorpion Moruga Caramel.

 

[dragon49]

Still no sprouts, but I suck at germinating C Chinense varieties, so I just tried to sprout 2 more:
 
1 - Dorset Naga
2 - 7 Pot Jonah Yellow

 

[dragon49]

Still no sprouts.  I tried to sprout one more—Something called the Trinidad X Strain.  This was one of the extra thrown in by Peter Merle for one of my orders - http://www.semillas.de/shop_en/index.html

Finally a sprout!  This is one of my mystery crosses that I sowed on 09/05.  It is either an F2 Bode Amarela X Aji Cereza, possibly crossed with a red Bhut, or a yellow superhot that I mislabeled, possibly crossed with a red Bhut:

I was worried about the cross, but managed to carefully remove all of the dirt and perlite that were interfering with the growth:
 

 
 
 
 
 
I just found a second sprout - one of the Pimente de Neyde x Bhut f7's just came up:
