Genetikx 2018

First time doing a glog but have followed others for years now. I don't expect monster 5' plants being just north of Chicago but I do expect to have a good time in the dirt and to neglect pulling weeds a time or twelve. The goal is grow a ton of peppers for sauce and maybe even get into powders this year.

We're currently rocking a 4' 4 tube hydrofarm T5, which I think is an awesome fluorescent. In the past I've supplemented with regular shop lights in the seedling stage and for overflow but might get another proper T5 soon. First time growing in this new house so hopeful to avoid mites, aphids, and the like. I'll end up throwing some plants in the backyard and then also claim a spot at the community garden.

Best of luck to all the awesome grows here at THP. Hope everyone has a great 2018.

I like the look of those peach habs.

 

[Genetikx]

Myself, I feel it's a nute issue, and not the 2-4D. Lots of cool weather and rain leach out the goodies. I switched to tomato tone, and garden tone, it doesn't leach like when I use the liquid nutes. I now shop for sales on that stuff, and load up when I find it. Now I only use the liquid for a foliar application.
 
Of course that's my 2 cents

I might agree except for the zig zag squiggle you can see in one of the leaves main vein. Plus a few other plants showing the same squiggle. I'll try and get a better picture next time I'm over there. Always appreciate your two cents, keep them coming!

I like the look of those peach habs.

Me too, can't wait to see them ripen. One plant from Fiogga seeds, one from ajdrew... They both look about the same

 

[Genetikx]

I feel the same way about my plants, Ryan. Why aren't they bigger?! Lol. Your whole plot looks great! You're gonna be swimming in pods before you know it. Then we'll be saying, "What am I gonna do with all of these?" Lol. Damn that 2,4-D.

Thanks Adam! I keep trying to compare everything to 2015, since that was my best year. Wasn't able to do much in '16 or '17 so I keep chasing the dragon lol

 

[jedisushi06]

looking good.

 

[Genetikx]

I think Trent was saying you can give them more nitrogen and water a lot to push through the 2-4d you might ask what he thinks

I'm not worried about long term damage, the plants should be fine... Just a setback for a couple of them.

 

[Genetikx]

looking good.

Thanks, I gotta get you some pics of plants from your seed. I think one of the belize is showing off pheno pods, not as long as I'd expect them to be. Can't wait for all of them to ripen

 

[jedisushi06]

those pods are long shaped.

They're excellent. I don't see how orange is the most popular habanero.

Those peach habs do taste pretty great...

Been a while for an update so let's get straight to pics

Biker Billy's are doing well, going to make a sauce with them at some point and see if they still retain some respectable great

First Aji Amarillo, not sure if they have time to ripen in my climate

Andy's (not so) Chocolate Scorpion

Mustard habs -- Love them!

A sideways Scotch Brain right on pheno, especially for early pods

Seeds from Jedi, TFM Bonnet x Yellow Pixie

Tough to see all the pods, but this is Puerto Rican Yellow, also from Jedi

Jedi...2 of my Scotch Belize plants are behaving like this, other plant is right on

I pulled about 10 plants that looked like BLS, and also looked like things were spreading. Cut about another 10 plants down around the Y that looked like I could ward off BLS in new growth. So I've slowed my growth but it actually seems to have helped

But why am I most proud of this? Lol

Didn't get my first ripe amarillo until september last year. still stocked a bunch in the freezer though! zone 5a/4b isn't THAT bad

all those look correct except the belize bonnets.  I'll have to think about what they could have crossed with.

 

[jedisushi06]

those tfm x pixie look awesome.  I did have a red bonnet type last year as well or maybe a habanero.  Let me think.

Really looking forward to more tfm x pixie

Regarding the scotch belize cross, just wish they were more productive... didn't even take this pic until i picked abot 5 ripe pods lol...

Unfortunately zero heat. Will probably use them as filler in sauces

 

[Genetikx]

Photo dump time!!!

Making a spicy vinegar so far with the aji pines

Biker billys with serrano tendencies. Fukkers are hot, will make a green sauce with them. Groupings of pods like this cover the plant

Don't think zapotec is even close to biker billy heat, starting to get decent production tho

Race against time with aji amarillo

1st of the jonah yellows

Jamaican long yellow

Love these, little lanterns

Puerto rican yellow 1

Puerto rican yellow 2

D3 el scorponero...just about every pod holding this shape

D3 goat yellow

Means they crossed with the Aji Chuchaca purple strain I got direct from Peru like i thought from where I had my plants placed last year.
