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.

How about the aroma? Did you get a good whiff?

It was hard to not smell the aroma, really strong but fruity not overwhelming at all. Today I cut up a 7 Pot White I harvested and it had kinda the same aroma, couldn't taste it since it had nose rot. Also the SB7J from Patrick had that aroma.

Ahhh....... Now I see why photobucket is on the fritz today! Explains a lot. You have updates,and then you have UPDATES....WOW stefan! I wouldn't sweat 39°. We had back to back nights of 34 and 35 and it really didn't phase mine. It is going to take a killing frost or sustained temps that low to kill them. Only affect I can visually see is it made some of them ripen prematurely. Good luck with the rest of the season.

Thanks, John. No problem indeed with the plants, but the ones outside are suffering from the weeks of rain lately. Think it's time to give them up, the ones inside are gonna have another month by the looks of it. Yesterday I did harvest a few again, couple of varieties I didn't harvest before so that's great with a total of 5,5lbs.

A couple of highlights from the harvest, don't wanna flood the topic again

 

[Portuge]

Bump, nice harvest..

 

[saugapepper]

What a great harvest Stefan! Love the colour on the Madballz 7

 

[meatfreak]

Thanks guys!


Some more harvest pictures from me, a lot of varieties I didn't harvest from before so that was great for me, 1,1kg in total.
