They should do just fine with those temps. Did the C Hab drop it's leaves or just slow down?
 
I know mine are dying for some real sun after so much shop time..

I plan on OW each manzano I get to grow....if I like them that is.

I've only eaten 2 monzanos ever and that was at the tail end of last years grow and I'm hooked. All my monzanos and rocotos are coming inside next year as long as they live. 
 
One issue I have found: they get mite infested more than any other pepper plant I have. Keep a mite spray handy.

Thanks for the heads up.   I might have to quarantine them away from all the other peppers this summer.
 
Haha, Battlestar Germinata!
 
You crack me up, brother!
 
Got some new arrivals this morning.  Made me smile wide to see all these babies popping.
 
7 Pod PSB Slight helmet, but it is already pushing it off.

JA Habanero is popping as well.
 
 
0108JAHab.jpg

 
 
 
And another one that is hooking.
 
 
0108JAHab2.jpg

 
 
 
Mustard Hab is up.

A second Paper Lantern is up.  Might be giving this plant away as I only want the one cause the pods look sexy hanging on the plant, they have a good bite to them, but do have a strong cap taste.

My Yellow Not Butch T popped
 
 
0108TSYellow.jpg

 
 
 
And another hooking

West Indie Hab has popped as well.

Pete is really taking off.
 
 
0108Pete.jpg

 
 
 
And finally, collecting rent.  He May be 15 years old, but he has to pull his own weight around here.

The one thing that I am not liking is Jaques and Bart are not up.  Other than that, I am a happy man today.
 
Congrats on the hooks and sprouts! Hope they all stay nice and healthy. What's wrong with the flavour of the paper lantern that would make you consider giving it away?

Hey Jeff, your grow is really starting now - great hooks and sprouts going for you.

Thanks Paul.  Hoping for very few helmets and the major push on seeds will be next weekend.  Gotta get a new heater for grow room.  The old one conked out after two seasons.

Thanks.  They have a bitter after-taste to me.  That was why I was contemplating not growing it this year.  The other habs I grow/tasted I like better.  But like I mentioned earlier, those pods dangling on a plant is just awesome looking.

Cool. If you end up giving one away I'd definitely be interested. That's one I haven't tried yet. I'd be willing to either trade somehow or pay for shipping plus growing costs.

I have no idea how to ship a plant safely for the plant.  But I would be more than happy to ship you out a box of ripe pods if you want.  My Lantern this year didn't do so well, but the season before I had them coming out my ears.

Sounds good to me. Appreciate the offer. If I have pods available at the time I could either do a pod swap if I have something you're interested in, if not I'll gladly pay for the peppers.

I feel your pain, brother.  I'm holding my breath that the heater
in the greenhouse makes it through it's third season before going out.  
If it does, I hope it is during the day and that I'm here!

You don't have to pay for the peppers.  I might sell some pods for charity this season (still not sure) but trading pods around gives everyone a chance to try before you buy so to speak.  I am growing so many peppers this year only because people on here sent me pods to try.  Love this place.

Just picked up another heater.  Exactly the same as the one I had.  I should have paid five bucks for the extended two year warranty lol.

More pepper popping news today.  My 7 Pod PSB has a triple coty.  Never seen this before.

My first Bart popped up this morning as well.  Leaving Jaques the only one not to pop yet.
 
 
0109Bart.jpg

 
 
 
A second JA Hab has came up and it looks like it is doing well pushing off its helmet.
 
 
0109JAHab.jpg

 
 
 
My two mustard habs have helmets, but it looks like they are pushing them too.  Going to keep em moist and hope that helps.
 
 
0109Mustard.jpg

 
 
 
Two of the three Petes I had germ behind the wood stove are up.  I am guessing these are the last two I put in and the first one I did I must have damaged it.
 
 
0109Pete.jpg

 
 
 
Another Not Butch yellow is up, and it looks like the tightest helmet yet.  It might require surgery.
 
 
0109TSYEllow.jpg

 
 
 
And finally, a pic of the pot ups I did last week.
 
 
0109Potup.jpg


I completely missed it, but the not butch has three up and the one with the fully up seedling is up with coty spread already.  Helmets are already looking better.

Awesome progress, Jeff!  Looks like you are
getting good germination rates on most of those.  
Every time I peruse your grow list, I am more impressed
with the variety of it!

Great progress Jeff! And great photos too. Wonder what the triple cotys means, or if that plays out in the other foliage at all? Always on the lookout for interesting leaves... good for making bonchis.

I have no idea what it means.  Perhaps it means they will all have perfect stingers on them..,at least I hope lol

Thanks Paul.  I am trying to keep the variety down but the plant numbers up.  With all the new stuff all the time that is hard to do.
 
 
All my helmets are off except oen, and its about off. I have another 7 Pod PSB up too.  I am itching to get the pellets going.  New heater has grow room up to 73 degrees, so I have the thermostat set and will see if it holds to the morning.  Then its time to movie in.  Air and light cycles should do the plants well.
