Justin great to see the "bonnets" wishing you all the best with them

You were the inspiration for that, and provider of some, thanks. Looking forward to yours this year also.

Yeah, John inspired that a bit. I should have plenty. Looking forward to the freeport orange and peach and the long one. I know some of this list won't make it, need to cut a few, but pretty sure the bonnets are safe.

Have been far too busy to keep everything updated properly. Starting is only going average at best. Have some varieties that are just refusing to germinate, and of course some of the ones I was looking forward to the most. But overall still probably going to have more than I can manage.

These are 72 of the oldest ones started in late Dec. / early Jan. Some looking not great, might be malnurished a bit, but plenty of time to come out of it.

These next 2 pics are early to mid january starts, most looking fairly healthy.

Caught one of my guards napping.

Seeds this 128 plug tray on Saturday, anxiously waiting on first ones to hook. Also have another 105 plug tray mostly loaded with small seedlings and hooks.

Is it possible to get 2 plants from one seed? I am normally pretty careful not to put 2 seeds close to each other. I also thought this cell had 2 seeds total in it. Might be a mistake, but this is second time I have seen this. Earlier had this happen with another start. In that case should have been only one seed in the cell. Might just be lack of sleep on my part.

I have never had a plant this small bud before. Plant can't be much over 2 inches tall.

Starting another 128 tray of chinense in about a week, about 100 more varieties then the other spots for some that haven't germinated yet. Got 3 heat mats going, might need a 4th, probably should have bought one of the bigger ones instead.

Great update Justin ... amazing to get a bud at such an early stage not something that I have ever seen before .... great start to the season

Streetspirit · Feb 19, 2016

nice to see your updaes Justin! Everithing's clear and organized... it's a pleasure for the eyes.

santis00 · Feb 19, 2016

Very cool. That two plants one seed looks interesting. Looks like they conform to one step toward the bottom but cant tell 100%

jcw10tc · Mar 3, 2016

Its been a struggle this year with germination for some reason, but still have quite a few, with a lot more to go.

Going to have to pull these buds off so it can grow up I think.

My dad went to St. Martin in the Caribbean. I asked him to pick up a local bottle of sauce if he saw one. Guess he had nothing better to do.

t0mato · Mar 3, 2016

Wow that's a lot of pepper plants. I'm surprised you have had such a hard time germinating seed.

Cool sauces too btw

Only about a third of the plan so far. A lot more to go, but since limited inside room, didn't want to start too soon as would have run out of space. Yeah, I have tried 3 or the sauces so far. All fairly heavy on vinegar. 4th one from the right was my favorite so far. Go figure a ghost pepper sauce from the caribbean. The yellow one 3rd from the left is a Jamaincan scotch bonnet sauce, ok taste but a slimey gooey consistency that is just kinda not right. The short bottle in the middle had a warning on it, so tried it first, and wasn't very hot at all.

Hey, great website!

Trident chilli · Mar 4, 2016

Great website Justin ... your grow looks like it's really taking off .... go bonnets go

CrazyNess. Here's to a awesome year again

D3monic · Apr 30, 2016

Checked out the website, looks great. Much better than some of the other "professional" ones i've seen. Are you selling plants on it too or just seeds right now? I might have room to add a few more plants to my grow this year. mainly looking for the oddballs, things I cut from the grow but want to add now like wild brazil, fidalga roxa, aji fantasy, I need new paper lanter habs both mine are sad and lanky from being shaded by the baccatums in their tray.

Keep up the good work brotha

No, not selling any plants. Just giving away spares. I am out now of the ones I had slated for the giving aways, but have probably 50 to 100 extras I am keeping around for just in case like when I trip and fall and wipe out a bunch during planting or something. Or for a raccoon invasion that digs up half of what I planted the day before. But I half gallon of some surprise dust for them this year and home to sprinkle that around the base of everything after I plant it. I will let you know in 2 or 3 weeks or so what I might have left see if they are shippable or something. But I don't have any of those you mentioned, except I might have one extra fantasy white, if I don't end up planting both of them. Have to see how much room is left after the first wave.

And thanks for the comments on the website. Its pretty plain, and not likely to get prettied up anytime soon. I am fairly technical but the artistic portion of a website I have no skills there. I went through for months trying to lay it out so its easy to browse and searchable. I think its not too bad for a complete amateur at that. Will have to see how long I do it for, time seems to be the biggest issue with running it for me, as I have so little.

Thanks for the kind words.

I have had no time to even begin to try to keep this updated, but managed a few bad pics the other day of the plants so far. Pretty boring really, but all I have for now.

First 3 planted. BBG7 Yellow, Apocalypse and one of the hopefully bumpy more true White Bhuts.

Got quite a few dark ones this year, love how they are looking so far.

Rest are just pics of the whole mess, over 450 plants.

D3monic · Apr 30, 2016

Looking great, love the look of dark plants as well. Every plant on that shelving unit looks healthy as fck.

Yeah, those on the shelves were the first ones started, some late Dec through early Feb. I am sure some are getting root bound. They need planted pretty soon. Still have some of the trays with 48 cells only about 3 inches, but intended to have waves this year as wouldn't have room for all this mess in 3.5 pots. I got some that look a little malnurished for some reason. I think some of it is just the cold basement and lack of good lighting. Once I got some outside in the warmth last week and sun they were looking better quickly. Also damn heat wave we had we turned on the AC which turns my damn basement into a meat locker. Probalby gets low 60s down there or cooler when the ac runs so they weren't liking that so much either.

D3monic · Apr 30, 2016

all mine are in 3" pots as well, def root bound. My basement isn't much better I doubt it ever gets over 64 down there.

az1000 · May 1, 2016

I have 2 Bhut Jolokia x Moruga Scorpion from your seeds.
What can you tell me about this cross?
