Heefys 2016 Grow

It's that time of year again. I started a few weeks back and am more than happy with the progress so far. I have only planted pubescens so far, as I am hoping for a very long season from them.

Probably sow some Chinense in a week or so and the Baccatums in February.

Most have looped, with good germination rates. I have started to pot on now.

I am aiming to grow out as many different pubescens as possible, so if you have any info on rare ones, please post or pm me. Cheers.

Happy Christmas everyone.

Ecuadorean Pepper from Hell .... looking forward to this variety Heefy ...

Ecuadorian Sweet Rocoto. Looking fine.

BOC Yellow. Maybe it should be called BYC!

CAP 1492 Rocoto. Buds and all!

Another 200 sown!

Another 200 that's crazy!!
Yesterday I sowed the last batch of Pubes and a few wilds.

A small update. I got around to watering today. Just plain water as I can't find the box with the Nutes in!

Here are today's stand out plants.

Ulupica F3. Quite a special cross. Not sure what to expect.

Ecuadorian Sweet. A pubescens sweet pepper. Now that is going to be juicy, thick fleshed little fruit. Can't wait.

Pimenta de Neyde X Scotch Bonnet 7Pod Jonah. Not sure where to start with this one.

My own creation a Borg9 X Apocalypse. I'm hoping this is going to be hot. I'm sure I won't be disappointed. Large leaves.

Chocolate Lightning. I confess to growing this purely based on the good looking pods it should produce. Like a brown coloured, larger version of the Murupi.

.

Canaria Rocoto. One of the best known pubescens. Great looking flower.

.

Simons cross. Defcon X Reaper. Scary!

Finally Sukanya. The sister plant is weak, so fingers crossed that this one makes it.

Cheers

Germination rates are still good. Plans are in full swing for getting the greenhouse up in April and possibly a new Chilli Shed.

Here was today's haul of Turbo pube pods.

I will be dragging the seeds out of those.

And an update on the late starters.

And

I will catch up with the rest soon.

Finally a bit of an update.

I gave the plants a good water and check over and here are some that I took pics of, as I did so.

An overview of more than half the plants.

An Orange Rocoto.

Defcon X Reaper. One of the later, smaller plants.

Little B***ard. Sorry. I didn't name that cross.

The elusive, Aji Lucento. A very special Pubescens from Riobamba, in Ecuador.

Aji Rocoto. PI355812. Quite a compact bushy plant for a pubecscens. From Ecuador.

Hyper Pube, CAP 217.

Argentina. Great looking plant. Looks like it's going to be a low growing variety.

Rocoto Obi. From a German University Botanical Garden. Never heard of it, but quite excited to be growing it. No idea on fruit shape or colour.

Pineapple Rocoto. Sorry about the background colour!

CAP 273, from Peru.

Ecuadorian Pepper for Hell! Aptly named, I'm sure.

Nice plants! Great selection of Pubescens you have there. I'm interested to see how that aji lucento and rocoto obi come out.

Thanks mate. I have around 80 varieties of pubescens, having made it my personal goal to grow as many as I can.

 

[az1000]

Nice plants.
My Aji Lucento failed to germinate.
