Jamison's 2012 Grow Log Now overwintering

[background=rgb(233, 216, 193)]Hello everyone and welcome to my very own Glog. Got a later start than normal this year but I'll keep em under the lights 24/7 til end of May or early June, properly harden off and plant in 5 gallon buckets. All seeds came from Pepperjoes.com and pepperlover.com. Also one Burpee seed. Soaked seeds overnight on 3/27, and all went into coco pellets the next morning and placed into a propagator for germination. As soon as I had a sprout the dome came off for air circulation. Last Saturday, took all the sprouts I wanted mixed up 1 part perlite, 1 part vermiculite, and 3 parts Promix organic soil , took the netting off around the pellets and planted into the oh so famous solo cups, with holes drilled in the bottom of course. They have been under a 4 tube, 2x4 foot, 54 watt T5 since sprouting. Very impressed with that light. When seedlings finally start vegging I will be hittin em up with the old Fox Farm trio . Grow Big, Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom. Also got some Organic CalMag that I might experiment with.[/background][background=rgb(233, 216, 193)]Here is the line up:[/background][background=rgb(233, 216, 193)]Pepper Joes:[/background][background=rgb(233, 216, 193)]Giant Bhut Jolokia[/background][background=rgb(233, 216, 193)]Scotch Bonnet[/background][background=rgb(233, 216, 193)]Hot Cow Horn[/background][background=rgb(233, 216, 193)]Butch T Trinidad Scorpion[/background][background=rgb(233, 216, 193)]Anaheim[/background][background=rgb(233, 216, 193)]Hot Jamaican[/background][background=rgb(233, 216, 193)]Burpee:[/background][background=rgb(233, 216, 193)]Hot Lemon[/background][background=rgb(233, 216, 193)]PepperLover:[/background][background=rgb(233, 216, 193)]Bhut Jolokia Red[/background][background=rgb(233, 216, 193)]Scotch Bonnet Red[/background][background=rgb(233, 216, 193)]Scotch Bonnet Yellow[/background][background=rgb(233, 216, 193)]Naga Morich[/background][background=rgb(233, 216, 193)]Trinidad Seasoning[/background][background=rgb(233, 216, 193)]Early Jalapeno[/background][background=rgb(233, 216, 193)]Here is where I was about two weeks ago.[/background]

Ill post some more and update tomorrow night hopefully. They are all starting to pump out their first and second set of leaves and looking pretty decent. I'm having a tough time with the Naga's but hopefully they will pull through.
 
Well the weather here got cold over here in a hurry. Went from 70's to 40's fast. I have a few pics of some pods and plants for the ending of the year. Took a couple plants inside under the lights.

Until next time THP. Will be starting 2013 come the first of the year so TBC................
 
Jamyson, those OW's look great! I had a couple plants that didn't do anything for me all year either. Right up until the last sec. But then it's too late, that cold weather hit fast and stuck around for good. Lookin' forward to next year brewha! KUTGF

Ps. Ellie's a quick learner. She must take after her mother...hahahaha, I kid I kid.
 
Damn Jamison that Butch T pic is a thing of beauty but compared to that pic of Ellie it ain't got jack shiat on her. Great grow and those overwinters look picture perfect. Can't wait to see what you come up with next year. Maybe a new baby boy :shh:
 
A couple shots of whats going on up in my attic. Had aphids somehow, think I got rid of them now though.

My cocoa tree that just been hanging in there. Really really needs a transplant.

Thats it for now but Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Eat lots of turkey and HOTTTT peppers!
 
Overwinters look OK to me, but what do I know? Seriously, yeah, they look a bit thin, but the were cut back to basically sticks, weren't they? Looks like healthy new growth to me, especially the Butch T. Good growing and happy T-day!
