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]

Jamison awesome pods you got over there. What are the hot jamaican is that the scotch bonnet variety? It looks like they are producing golf ball size pods for you.

Thanks man. The only thing I know about those Hot Jamaicans is that PepperJoe brought seeds back from Jamaica like 30 years ago. He describes em as habanero. I think they are basically a Caribbean Red. I'll post a review once one ripens for ya. Thanks for stoppin by man!
 
Jamison, Your plants are on the move. I can see from the weather forecast that you're getting some ample rain. Those plants should be producing through the 1st of Nov....You've got some HOT pods there....................Good luck with 2nd half of summer!

Wow a ripe bhut! Your plants are looking very productive, Jamison.
A little rain can work wonders! I see in your garden pic you have
your hoop house set up all ready to go; that's the spirit!

Good growin' my friend!

Okay, let's do a trade when the time comes, I'll send you some pods of whatever you like too...
 
That little harvest should give you enough heat for a few days!
Everything looks great, Jamison, plants seem very productive.
Enjoy the weekend, brother!
