Guitarman 2016: colourful heat

Hi guys, it's time to open my 2016 glog. eventhough i put the first seeds in the dirt in January.
Last year i had 80% or more of my list being composed by superhots, some unstable hybrids which turned out to be different from what i expected.
So this year i went on less superhots (half of the varieties, or less) and more classic and colourful ones.
At the moment i have about 100 plants, but i plan to end up with 65-70, i'll give away the remaining to some friends, i only keep them for the first months in case of death of other plants.
So here's what i'm growing:
 
C.Chinense
 
Chocolate Brainstrain
CPR
Carolina Reaper
Chocolate Moruga
Bhut Jolokia Yellow
Bhut Jolokia Peach
Bhut Jolokia Caramel
Bih Jolokia #1 Assam
7 Pod Brown
7 Pod Burgundy
7 Pod Jonah
7 Pod Primo Orange (wicked)
7 Pod Congo SR
Peach Congo PL
CARDI Scorpion
Chocolate Madballz
Yellow Douglah

Chocolate Scotch Bonnet

Thank you both John and Stefan, some of the seeds for those plants came from you! ;)
 
THP is such an amazing place!!!
 
Hi folks!!! :D
Thinking about a little update on this year's glog!
Spring is coming, temperatures are a little bit raised even here in Milan, that pushed me to speed up some steps with the plants: i have now about 100 growing, received few seeds from Tom (cloudhand) and some sprouted few days ago (Chocolate BBG7 and Congo x Naga Chocolate).
I took the bigger plants and transplanted in some Yogurt jars (500ml), and this will be the intermediate step before the 10-12 litres around end of april-beginning of may.
I also started to hardening them off, just to get acclimate with sunlight: i had a couple of burnt leaves, but i took the risk and it seems like nothing dangerous.
 
Here some pics!!!
 
"The 3 musketeers" ;) Pimenta da Neyde, Cheiro Roxa, Pimenta Lisa from Stefan(Meatfreak)
 

 
The charming, beautiful, Pimenta da Neyde, from Semillas
 

 
Bhut Jolokia Yellow
 

 
Chocolate Primo Reaper, from Butch T
 

 
Cumari ou Passarinho, interesting Chinense from Brazil
 

 
Healthy, vigorous Burgundy 7 Pot, again from Stefan ;)
 

 
Carolina Reaper and Fatalii, from Pepperfriends
 

 

 
And Chocolate Brain Strain, from John Ford (i also have the PepperRidgeFarm's strain growing)
 

 
Finger crossed and hope everything keeps going good!!!
 
See you soon!!!

Very nice Roberto!
 
I'm impressed for sure.
 
My fathers side of the family is from the Milan area, came here in 1917 and had homes here and there, one of these days I will visit and try to look up some of my distant relatives.
 
Post some videos of your guitar playing, I'd love to hear them!
 
Good luck this season, you're off to a great start!

What Scott said. :party:
 
I know it is called a Glog, but it is really just your own personal thread to post whatever you think is cool, but just focus on peppers for Pookie's sake. :D   We have guns, guitars, dogs, lots of cooking and good food, hydroponics not related to peppers and all kinds of other stuff in these threads.

Meanwhile i can show you one of my babies... ;)

 Hi Roberto,
 
Nice guitar! I love the blue! Here's a pic of the "Mid Night Special" I built last year, http://www.devtex.net/2015/201.jpg
 
I'm just learning, got about 15 months under my belt. But it's starting to click! Looking forward to one of your vids! I wish I had started like 40 years ago. I'm torn between the Les Paul, SG, and Strat.
 
Not sure what part of Milan we're from, Dad doesn't talk too much about his ancestry, never has.
 
Wishing you continued success!
 
Scott
 
Very nice Les Paul Roberto. :onfire:
 
Looks like this year we are talking guitars, I have a few, and this is one of my favorite for certain types of music. Here is my Schecter Hellraiser.

Beautiful photos(and peppers)!

I'm in love with those Goronongs. How's the taste? Actually...I don't even care, they look so beautiful that they're definitely on my grow list for next year!

Thank you so much! Goronong is an interesting variety from Malaysia: around habanero heat level, kind of sweet, citrusy flavour and thick walls. And it is a really prolific plant!!!
I got a package of seeds that Peter from Semillas sent me and I couldn't use, if you want to grow it I can send it to you!

Thanks, but what's the cheapest way to send something overseas?
Seems like it would be too much.
