Masher 2017 *GLOG*

Hello all...while I couldn't grow every variety of pepper seeds I received I did come up with a nice list for this years 2017 grow.
 
I was going to start in soil, but I had great results last season with Grodan cubes and I already had them left over.
 
I started with 2-3 seeds per hole, but midway went with poking extra holes in the cubes to isolate each seed.....I will cut the cubes apart later when transplanting.
 
There are 2 cubes of the Aji Lemon drop for the 2017 GT, everything else will be grown or gifted depending on success.
 
The numbers after each variety of pepper is number of seeds sown, I make a final grow decision from what comes up
 
Aji Lemon drop x5
Rocoto Red x3
Giant choc Hab x4
Sadabahar x4
Cherio Cre'me Hab x4
Choc Moruga x5
Aji Fantasy x4
Aji Crystal x4
Aji Jobito x4
Aji amarillo x4
Choc BBG7 x4
Aleppo x4
Australian Lantern x5
Red Monzano x3
Goatsweed x3
Bishops Crown x4
Cumari Pullux x4
Papa Dreadie Scotch x5
Choc Bhut x5
Thunder Mtn Longhorn x5
Bolsa De Dulce x5
Big Caramel Mama x5
Jays Peach Ghost x3
Nu-Mex Hatch red x3

12 days later....pic update 
 
Tray 1.....The one dead center in the rear has 3 buds (Nu Mex Hatch I think)
 

 
 
Tray 2
 

 
 
Tray 3
 

 
A few plants have the curled out edges on some leaves...I gave them their first full dose of Nutes yesterday.
 
Overall very glad will success so far...I think the curled leaves that come and go are nothing more than the result of rapid growth due to the potting mix, constant 78F temps and lighting.
 
Will have some pretty large plants by late May for plant out 
 
 
The group shot of all 3 trays
 

 
 
 
And lets not forget the second batch of replantings and late seed selection
 

 
 

 

[OCD Chilehead]

Wow! Things are moving along nicely.

Good luck Dan.

 

[karoo]

wow looking great.!

 

[Masher]

I am still here and thriving....just not enough time to be on here daily right now.
 
almost all of the Aji varieties are flowering and pods have emerged.
 
Pubes have some purple flowers as well.
 
I didn't plan very well.....everything is still in 18oz solo cups because I am out of room to re pot them
 
The second round of plants are still in mini single serve yogurt cups.
 
everything needs to go outside but I am 30-45 days from plant out yet.
 
anyway.....I hope to just let them all go until plant out.  Then I will top several of the tall plants already flowering to get them bigger and bushier.
 
 
thanks again THP for all the help and getting me seeds for this season.  
 
 

 

[PaulG]

Totally awesome, Dan.  Your grow is really coming along.
It's amazing how much they grow in a week or two.

 

[OCD Chilehead]

Thanks for the update. I was wondering how thing were going.

Don't worry. It will work out.

Good luck, Dan.

 

[Masher]

April 9th pictorial update.....The plants under the 600w hid are going great. I just need more space. Still sitting in 18oz solo cups waiting to go outside asap.
 
This group was started from seed 1/01/2017
 

 
A few highlights.....
 
New Mex hatch

 
Aji Crystals

 

 
Bishops crown and possibly P. dreadie SB in there somewhere

 
The over wintered choc Moruga

 
The second plantings started 2/01/2017
 
These are in the small yogurt cups and only seen the T5 lighting

 
Another 3-4 weeks and hopefully can start hardening off and get them outside.
 
Happy growing all and thanks for all those who contributed seeds to my grow 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

[PaulG]

Yeah, buddy, those babies are yearning for plant-out!
 
Great growth for the small cups they are in.

 

[stickman]

Yup... you're ready for plant-out! Keep up the good work!

 

[Devv]

Very nicely done.
 
They're screaming for outside for sure

 

[Superhot Sim]

Your well on your way and looking ready for plant out, plants look amazing and all a nice dark lush green, and pods , those bad boys are going to fly when they hit dirt...
 
Good luck and looking forward to seeing them all full of pods.

 

[Blitz527]

WOW, Thaat is impressive. I have had mine going since Jan 21st I believe and havent seen a trace of flowering or anything, Just very healthy plants so far. Looks great. Keep up the good work. Your gunna be swimming in pods soon.

 

[Trident chilli]

Great healthy plants and a P. Dreadie that's a bonus .... looks like your going to have a bumper season

 

[Masher]

First full ripe pod off one of the Aji Crystals, picked two days ago.  
 
Jalepeno heat, with a touch of Citrus flavor with slight floral smell.
 

 
 

 
 

 

[moruga welder]

Great start !   How the CBBG'S  do ?

 

[PaulG]

Awesome, Dan, you have it goin' buddy!  You're getting
amazing pod production under the 600W HID light!
 
You're doin' the PNW proud, my friend!

 

[Masher]

Small pic update this morning.
 
All pepper plants are now outside....getting couple hrs of sun then into the shaded metal shed to harden off over the next couple weeks.
 
the plants under the 600w hid's have done excellent for living in an 18oz plastic cup and little to no food but a couple watering of MG to keep them alive.
 
 
The ones under the T5's are small and perfect size for plant out I hope.
 
 
Will wait until Feb next yr to start seeds and get a better timing on plantout.
 
 
A few standouts to share.
 
The over wintered Chocolate Moruga
 

 
The 3 tubs of pepper plants from the 600w lighting
 

 

 

 
 
Sadabahar
 

 

 
 
Bolce de dulce
 

 
 
Aji lemon drop from the growdown throwdown
 

 

 
 
Cascabella's, Boc's, Big Caramel momma's and a few more\
 

 
Still green and waiting on pics
 
Papa Dreadie, Bishops Crown, Jays peach.
 
Overall, a great success so far and tons of new experience learned for next yrs plants.
 
I plan on putting the Choc Moruga back into the grow space this winter and see if i can get it to continue to produce all yr long.
 
thanks for stopping in and checking out what I have going thus far.
