Most of this list I got through the genorosity of people on this forum, thanks alot! Since I only have one heated propagator I needed to split up my list, so I went for all the Habanero varities first (as you can see on the picture below). Also a few other Chinense on there.

I sow 2 seeds per varity, so I can keep the best looking plant and give the other one away. Offcourse I'm not throwing them away, I will spread the heat among my friends so they can learn the magical world of pepper growing too ;)


I used coco-plugs as medium this time and putted them in a 60 holes tray. Looks like a tray of cup-cakes ready for the oven.

After I soaked them and let the propagator get to the right tempature (± 26°C) I sow all the seeds with this as end result.

All I have to do now is getting the grow area ready so when they sprouted they can be put under the CFL lights. I don't expect them to sprout for atleast a week so I still have some time. As soon there is free space I will sow the rest of my list with the Annuum to be the last ones, probally around january.

Almost every variety I got has now pods going, the 7 Pot White and Brain Strain looks great already! The pods from the SB7J don't look like their mother at this moment, but more like their daddy 7 Pot Jonah. Maybe future pods will have an different shape again.
 
Great looking pods and plants Stefan. Seems like your plants have really taken off in the last couple weeks. Sad to say my white 7 finally stopped breathing a few days ago :mope: . Oh well I guess I will start a whole nother. :dance:

Keep the pics cominng. Especially those super corked jal's :party:

Thanks, Jamie. That is sad news, I could send you some fresh seeds when these are ripen off :lol: but you probably will have too wait another 2 months ;) I saved a lot of seeds of those Jalapeno's, can add those as well. I loved the Jalmundo and Conchos, great taste! I had these for snack tonight.

The wife didn't eat any because she was afraid of the heat, so I had too eat them all :whistle: with a "Hoegaarden" beer. Great combination!

[sup]nice jala's, plants have grown to a nice size. You picked the early jalapenos green what did you think of the taste? [/sup]

The ones I picked we're really small, about only 3-4cm long. They didn't have much taste, I picked them too give the plant a new impulse too start flowering again for bigger pods ;) I had them last year also and they tasted okay but now that I tasted the other ones I prefer those more :) I can send you some seeds of those if you like.

Awesome shots Stefan! Glad you are getting some good harvest in. Hey when do you expect your first frost to be up there?
Click to expand...

Thanks, Britton. I don't have a clue about that anymore, last year we had a really good aftersummer with temperatures of +20°C in October. Then the first real frost came here around the end of November, but it kept pretty warm for the time of the year. Hopefully it will be the same this year are even better :lol: Last year we had a pretty bad summer also but this year it was even worse so who knows for the aftersummer... the climate is changing that's a fact nobody can't deny. I have most of my Chinense in the tunnel, so that already extends my grow season.
 
Nice!! You have more habanero varieties than I have pepper varieties. That is some great photography and documentation sir. It is hard to let the jalas turn red isn't it? I am sending you a PM soon with a couple questions I have for you. Any info would be fantastic,answer at your leisure. Good growing

Thanks, PS :) Yeah it's really hard too let them turn red, once they are red the flavor just isn't the same and they get soft really quickly. I was wondering if it were possible too freeze them and once I got enough ripe pods too make Chipotle. Sure shoot, not sure if I can help you judging your outstanding glog loaded with great pods and plants :)
