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.

Healthy and compact plants! They seem to be loving the sunbath. Good luck with your growing season!

 

[mygrassisblue]

Dude freakin' nice plants !! Lookin' like another great start to 2012 ! THP has some of the best !

 

[Jamison]

Plants are looking spectacular.

Nice fat stalks on those bad boys

Thanks Jamie! Glad you stopped by. You know, you gotta beat the hell out of em when their young, make em toughen up a little

Yes they are lovin the sun here in Wisconsin. I always keep the light as close as possible to them when they are seedlings so they don't stretch and become leggy. Thanks for stopping by Hab Head! Love to hear what people think! Thanks again!

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!! 6/3/12

Hello THP! Things weather wise have been pretty unpredictable like always here in Wisconsin. They always say if you don't like the weather wait a minute and it will change, which for the most part is TRUE! Had cold, rainy, windy days last week. Plants got a little drenched but seem to dry out and their doing what their suppose to be now. Slow growth over the last couple weeks but, what can you do? On a good note I got the rest of my plants into my mom's garden last night and stopped by a little while ago to check on em and the seems happy, all leaves pointing towards the sky! Gotta love it. Well here's a couple pics. Pics in the garden were taken last night after transplant.

First the newly planted raised bed

And my 5 year old snuck in the pic. Only peppers in front of him.

And back to my potted plants at home.

Thanks man! Most of the stalks and stems on these things are pretty huge. Lots of wind when they are young really helps out. Glad you stopped by!

 

[capsidadburn]

Great looking plants you have Jamison! I really like your raised beds too. Your plants look ready to produce heavy for you. Good luck with your season.

Nice pics Jamison. Love the raised beds. They are gonna deliver some serious porn in the near future

 

[PaulG]

Right on. Your plants look healthy and happy. A little rain is very good for them, gets some dissolved N into their systems and makes for a nice green!
Would you like a little more rain your way? We just had almost .2 inches in 5 minutes!
You can do the math. Glad it didn't rain for two hours!

Yes send the rain brotha. Its gettin a little dry over this way. Just don't send that monsoon over here Thanks for stoppin by man, I'm tryin my hardest to keep em happy! Happy growin!

 

[PaulG]

It looks like you are doing right by them, Jamison!
Don't worry, I will steer the monsoon a different way!
Actually, I can tolerate the rain, but that heavy of a
hail storm would level the plants. Fingers crossed!

UPDATE 6/23/12

Things are going pretty good. Been noticing a few whiteflies here and there, and with the 90-95 degree heat comes flower drop. Tons of flowers are dropping and getting a little discouraging to say the least. Heres some pics!!!

Start off with a couple Hot Cow Horn pods and a pic of the plant.

And finally a pod set on a Trinidad Seasoning

This Hot Lemon keeps dropping flowers probably 30 or so already

Bhut Jolokia Red gettin some flower action

Butch T starting to do somethin

Early Jalapeno goin crazy now with some nice flowers and one pod set already

And a non pepper but still my only potted tomato plant. Started 6 from seed. San Marzano, suppose to be an Italian specialty. Rest are in the raised beds.

Thanks for looking THP!
