Joshuap2000's 2012 Grow Log

Well, I figure I would start a grow log myself for this season. I have a numerous amount of ideas I want to use, but will be posting them as I go. I usually get lazy with my grows and forgot about them, but trying to turn over a new approach this year.

For starters, here are a few pictures of my Chocolate Habanero, AJI Lemon's, Red Brain Strain. They seeds were planted on November 11, 2011, and all sprouted between last week of November and the first week of December.

So hopefully I can get a least of handful of you guys to follow it so that way it will help keep me extra motivated to keep doing it.

P.S.

My spelling and grammar are typically horrible, but I blame the Fla education system in be raned in the 40's for US educations.

This weekend I will be transplanting my 7 pod brain strain (red) into there final 3.4 gallon homes, and seperating all of my 7 pod brain strain (yellow) into there .8 gal air pot.

First had to pick up the shipment.

Now they all are put together with the Roots Oraganic 707 waiting for tommorrow's final transplant to there final home..

Lookin good, I do love the rootball the airpots give, not really any different from the smart pot for me. At least ya gotta love the weather, Everything is exploding with new growth all thru the yard... So I'm sure yours is too.

It's cool that you can 'undo' the air pots and store them flat!

Yea it is,

One of the reason I went with smart pots and the air ports, for easier storage. I also got few done this weekend, but been dark when i finished sundy, and had to work last night and will begoing to the airport tonight. So i am hopping to get some pictures posted tommorrow.

Thanks for sharing pics of the rootball in those air pots. I've been eyeing those pots myself. Looks like they work well.

 

[Joshuap2000]

Here are some photos i snapped back on the 29th of feburary.

I am also thinking of starting a few more plants with the hopes of selling the fruits, which super hot do you all think i should aim for?

Butch t, 7 brain strain yellow or red, choc bhuts...

Ok, first picture here the front 3, are my 2nd year Butch t's, the one in the middle i wasnt going to use, but after all the abuse it had all winter long, it was still living so i did transplant.

The row in the back are my red brain strain that i transplanted 7 days ago.

My plumeria that is blooming.

Here my cayenne blends (first 4), choc hab (5 and 6) and the aji lemons

Nice pepper plants.........and I like the blooms on the plumeria. Do you bring the plant indoors when the evenings cool off?

[Joshuap2000]

No, i have been leaving them outside for the most part, but it hasnt been really cold since i got them 2-3 weeks ago. Tonight suppose to get down to 44, but I think they will be fine and than next week it will go back to the lows being in the 60's at night.

Lookin good Josup... Thats one color Plumeria I don't have... they have the best smell ever. I have a couple in the front yard growing quite large, I'm thinkin it will hit 7 feet this year...

Yea this one kind of had a cinnamon smell to it,

as for my brainstrian peppers, they dont look so good after last night, I think they might of been affect a little bit, as the tops of the plants are real limp. So not sure if i should wait and see what happens, or just cut the tops off and see if it will branch out.

Any ideas guys? It looks like to be 2 of 5 plants, and they seem to be the only really messed up about it.

 

[Joshuap2000]

Well, weather been a little on the raining side when i amready for pictures, so hopefully tommorrow I can get some in.

But in the mean time, I planted 30 more seeds of Butch t's and 30 of the Brain Strain Red. I figure i will try to do a decent size this year and hopefully make some cash of them when they start to fruit.

 

[PaulG]

Hey, Josh, your pot-ups look great!
Good luck bringing your new seeds on line!

 

[irishmaverick]

You've got some heat in that collection! Do use any ferts or is it just your warm weather that's helping that growth? Very impressive for early March.

 

[jsschrstrcks]

Airpots... What an interesting idea.

I suppose if they can be grown hydroponically, why not aeroponically.

Nice plants!

 

[Joshuap2000]
