G.I.P.'s 2017 "oh HAIL no" Glog

This is currently a placeholder for what i will attempt to piece together as a Glog for this year 
 
I took hardly any pics of my seedlings,  and when the weather was finally warm enough at night for my plants to go outside;  They got shredded by hail, nearly drown in rains for days straight, tore up by winds.
 
Long story shortened, my season has had a rough start and most of my plants don't look so good 
 
So, although my plants are not nearly as nice as many others who have Glogs i have been following.
I will attempt to keep a log of this years grow anyway
 
 
 
Pics to follow soon...

thanks for sharing the updates. What a load of harvest. Looks like you had a great season. Ooh and those sleeping giants are so scary. The one with the blue cover is already sticking out his green hand   

 

[Shorerider]

You remind me of a member who had a terrible start to the season, and used to take amateurish photos.....
 
Great pics and harvest mate, glad to see your hard work is paying off.

 cold tonight but supposed to warm up a little for the rest of the week 
 
 
 
Todays pull

[Shorerider]

Oh man.........   You sir have a pepper problem, not a bad problem to have if you ask me.
 
Awesome haul mate. 

 

[qandeel]

amazing load of peppers. What are you going to do with all this stuff sir. 

 

[Guatemalan Insanity Pepper]

amazing load of peppers. What are you going to do with all this stuff sir. 

sauces, pickled peppers, smoked and dried peppers, just dried peppers, and many used in various dishes without being prepared into a sauce or powder first.

mini update :
 
covering and uncovering the remaining 40 pepper plants, as well as being able to readily relocate them to the driveway where this time of year they can get 2 extra hours of direct sunlight each day compared to where they were in the backyard has helped tremendously in extending my season, and every extra week helps 
i'm still harvesting           
not as big of pulls as previous harvests, but plenty of peppers anyway
 
can't believe it got up to 68F/20C today here

Dude, on what planet is that a "mini update?"

You killed it this year, GIP!

Final Harvest for the year:
 

 
 
that's it folks, all the plants i intend to overwinter got extreme haircuts and an Azamax bath today, and moved into the growroom
 
 
 
I might continue this Glog through the winter if anyone is interested in seeing their progress all winter under 1000W HPS
 
 
 
 
thanks for stopping by to check out the harvest
 
 

G.I.P.

Great looking haul!

I would love to see some indoor action. Keep it going.

 

[Guatemalan Insanity Pepper]

some plant prepping pics;
 
 

Plants on the left not yet trimmed, plants on the right have started getting their haircuts
 

Bathtime for pepper plants  lets mix up some suds according to the Azamax directions for foliar application 
 
 

Gently rubbing the leaves while spraying the plants down helps insure you dont miss any spots
 

Now we mix up the Azamax and water according to the directions for soil drench
 

Soak that soil down really good, it helps to hold off on watering for a couple days before you do this so the soil really soaks up your suds instead of just running off
 
 
now lets bring em inside...
 

yes i know the plastic is backwards on the windows, I wanted the white side facing out.  I will cover it with another layer with the white side of the pandaplastic facing in
 

 
the HPS light fixture will be moved, and my 8 lamp 4 foot T5 fixture will be going up in here as well, if they need even more i got a couple UFO led fixtures as well.
 
 
will update periodically throughout the winter, though they will be growing much slower
 
 
thanks for stopping by
 
 

G.I.P.

Great final harvest GIP. You have all the colors. 
 
Yeah keep it going and lets see how the plants are behaving during winter. Many thanks.

 

[Thegreenchilemonster]

Nice final harvest! Good luck on your indoor Winter grow.

If I had a thousand watts of hps running I would have a hard time putting peppers under it lol

Well i suppose i'm pretty long overdo for an update here...
 
how about we start in the house with the plant table the Bonchi's are on:
 

on the left you can see the original Emu Egg Bonchi, and next to it is what grew from 1 of its cloned branches that i trimmed back when i transplanted it.
up in front is a Black Pearl Bonchi    flowering now 
 

the Christmas cactus is starting to flower now too

 
 

here's a closeup of the baby Black Pearl bonchi 
 
next up is the fullsize overwinters out in the garage under HPS...
 
stay tuned

update continued:
 

some ripe fruits on a few overwinters
 

lighting looks really weird on this pic these are being overwintered with CFL's in 6500k and a cheapo 15w LED spotlight, along with ambient indirect HPS light
they are doing much better that i thought they would 
 

Dulce Sol has some mishapen pods 
in fact many of my plants that i chose to save because they showed great phenotype all summer, are now maturing into odd shaped fruits
my guess is the cold at the end of the season, or the shock of moving indoors into a totally different climate has something to do with it.
 

Aji Fantasy is throwing out some off looking shapes indoors as well
 

Grenada Seasoning
 

this was an off pheno Trinidad Cherry yellow
it looked nothing like it was supposed to, but was crazy prolific, and very tasty, so i decided to save it
 

Cream Fatalii 
 

Primo
 

Serrano x Bulgarian carrot
 

Bonnet-Bell
 

Aji Mango
 
 

Pimenta Puma
 

Peru Bitdumi Rocoto
 

Yaki Blue dropped almost all its leaves after i finally moved it in, but look at all that new growth
 

 
thanks for stopping by to check out the winter progress
i hope to be able to update more frequently with lots of new growth and maybe even some new pods forming for early spring eating 
 

G.I.P.

 

[MikeUSMC]

Damn, GIP! That's a lot of plants to overwinter! Nice job!

 

[qandeel]

Great update. Amazing that you are able to get all these fruits inside.

 

[Shorerider]

Looking great GIP.    I agree with Mike, that's a lot of plant's to look after during winter.
