Thanks, I found if I don't wash the peppers I don't need to add any "starter" to get her rolling. 
 
 
 
Ok morning update it was 33°F here when I woke up this morning     Not sure how much longer the peppers will go but they haven't dropped any leaves yet. Here's a couple shots of my winter projects, First pic are my BBG7 plants- seeds started Aug 1st.  next picture is my Manzano seedlings that I pulled from a very tasty yellow manzano from prodigalson. Manzano seeds started Sept.3.  thanks for looking

 

[Devv]

Wow! Starting early!
 
Sorry about the 33, not fun when you still have goodies in the ground.

Saw the red strip and was thinking MoA, lol, till I read the caption BBG7 plants and Manzano seedlings ... looking great mon!

It's good that you gave your Manzanos an early start... I tried for a couple of months to start from seed with no luck. Shane finally took pity on me and mailed me one of his extra seedlings. I only got about a dozen pods on the plant and they just started to ripen last week. They can take a light freeze, which is really helpful for such a long-season pepper this far north. Good luck with your starts!

 Really great stuff going on Devon. You truly are a master of all things chili related. The harvest. mashes, and seedling look great. I too just started a manzano, red rocoto, and some bubblegum 7's. Great minds think alike. 
 
 Keep your grow on brother man

MoA is still one I am hunting for Ramon, but I love a  "fatboy" red stripe in the summer. Good lager that I use in my pizza dough and bread making. All the best

Thanks Rick, if you need any seed I have some left from the same batch just let me know. I placed an order for a red and brown pube last night hopefully I can get them to germ.

Thank you for the kind words Jamie. Looking forward to reading your glog over the winter my friend

… MoA is still one I am hunting for Ramon, but I love a  "fatboy" red stripe in the summer. … …

I use to love RS till lived in JA, what they keep behind isn’t as good as the exported product so the locals turned me on to locally produced and bottled JA Heineken made with rice VS corn mash and wow it’s great! AFAIK impossible to get outside the islands and I’m not sure what RS they use in the tourist areas but I tried to steer clear of those areas other than work. Drop me a pm if you are in need of MoA seed …

Plants look good. The pubes do well with flourescent lights. I am not sure what size your growing area is,but you can prune back the limbs and roots to keep the plants under control. Alternate natural light and flouro light and they will fruit for you indoors. Remember,they may take time to get fruit,but they grow just as fast as chinense and the others. They will hog up some space with lanky limbs.

Thank you. So far I have had them under T5's, but I am re-potting two of them today to put into my sun room for the winter.  I will leave them under T5's for another few weeks. Stays between 60-65°F in there over winter, think they will be ok? 
 
 
 
Harvest from this morning 

Chocolate Naga's 

Yellow Brain plant that I brought inside about a month ago to overwinter- you can still see some hail damage- but it has been re-potted and putting out new growth and flowers 

Manzano's getting re-potted today, keeping two and giving two to a friend.

Thanks for the offer Devan, but I'm gonna try to OW the one I grew outside this season. I saved the seeds from the ones I pulled too, so I'm set.
 
It got really busy through the end of September and early October so I haven't been keeping up on everybody's glog... just playing "ketchup" as time permits. Are the plants pictured the only ones you're gonna over-winter? Manzano seedlings look A-1... I think you'll like them when they pod up for you next year. I'll be trying to OW 4 of mine for the first time this winter, and one of them is a Manzano... They're all excellent varieties, but that's the one I most hope survives to plant-out. Cheers!
