Meatfreak 2014 Glog

So I've started my grow a couple of weeks ago, 28th of January. I use the same setup as previous seasons, 2x 125watt CFL 6400K lights, black/white foil. First round were the Chinense, about 22 different varieties, mostly superhots and hots. Almost everything germinated within a week and with a total germ rate of 92% I was pretty pleased. I potted them up last week and they quickly showed new growth again. Well enough talk, this is what the plants looked like yesterday, 10 days after transplant and almost 4 weeks from start date.

This one is a beast, very rapid growth, big leaves and already branching out? Georgia Black (Jason/GA Growhead)

 
This season I'm growing out a couple of crosses from friends like Gary/Nagabrain Chocolate F-2, Mike/Elysium Oxide Bonnet and Jamie/Green Hornet F-2. Also some phenotypes that showed up at John's garden, 7 Pot Peach F-2 and 7 Pot Caramel F-2. Of course I'm also growing my own discovery from last season, Pimenta Lisa F-2. Got 2 seedlings going, one has the desired traits so far and the other one is green as grass. Looking forward to growing both out!
 
Last weekend I started up the second round, mostly Annuum and some Chinense I got in trades these last few weeks. Today the the first ones sprouted after merely 3 days and even Chinense! Well that's it for now, thanks for keeping up so far

[meatfreak]

Woot!
 
Mega harvest.
 
Nice work Stefan!

Thanks guys! Face is burning up after seeding those Nagabrains, smoking hot for sure Plants are still kicking out new pods but after this week the temps will get lower and go back to normal for this time of year. I hope I can keep my plants as long as possible in the poly since it's a lot of work to process all those harvests.

Elysium Oxide Bonnet F-4 Mustard phenotype. Thanks Mike these are beautiful! Looks like the pods on the third plant are going chocolate... need to wait for them to complete ripen.

Very happy I made a good harvest of the Jalapeño Farmers Market Potato.

Thanks all, I must say it surpasses my expectations and I'm far from being done soon. Hopefully the weather will keep up for another month because that's the time I expect to need to process everything. Got an short holiday now, so cleaned out 2 other varieties. The harvest of the Scotch Brain is huge.
 

 

[Devv]

Wow Stefan!
 
I just keeps getting better and better!
 
Great work this season!

 

[ronniedeb]

Fantastic. Those Scotch Brains look beautiful.

 

[Roguejim]

Wow! I don't think I've even heard of half of those pods. How do you make use of your pods? Sauces? Powders?

 

[bpwilly]

Those Scotch Brains sure are a great looking pepper.  Interesting to see that they have kept the Bonnet shape so well.  Nice harvest and great colors

Stefan .....just like a Marathon runner  breaking away from the pack at the end of the race....
 
Your harvest keeps getting greater towards the end of the season.
 
I just finished pulling out all Tomatoes but my Red Currants this past weekend....thought to myself during the process," I bet Stefan still has Tomatoes growing "...........you had a stellar season !
 
Nice shot of the Scotch Brain pods...........very thoughtful

 

[PeriPeri]

Wow Stephan this is an incredible run of chillies this season for you! Amazing!

 

[stickman]

Wow Stefan... the last few harvests have been impressive! You hope for another month of production too?!... I'd think you'd be ready for some "stand-down" time about now.   Our season looks to be coming to an abrupt end this weekend as hard frost is predicted, but around here, anything after Columbus Day is "angel time"...

 

[meatfreak]

Wow Stefan!
 
I just keeps getting better and better!
 
Great work this season!

Thanks, Scott. It sure is a lot to process though
 

Fantastic. Those Scotch Brains look beautiful.

And they taste amazing to
 

Wow! I don't think I've even heard of half of those pods. How do you make use of your pods? Sauces? Powders?

I've tried to mash up all the yellow ones like Greg did, the rest of the supers I dry. The Jalapeno's I smoke for powder.

I wish they had but it's not quite stable in podshape yet.

Actually I pulled the last tomatoes a couple of weeks ago. Still had some Striped Roman going and gave me an 18 pound harvest which I turned into canned salsa Still I can't keep you with your harvests, great job!
 
Here are the 3 types of podshapes I got on the Scotch Brain. All 3 plants produced pods in this range.

Thanks, Lourens it is but I also can't wait for it to be over and relax again feels like I got no time to breath

Not necessary a month more production but I need the time to just process everything. Temps are back to normal but still no signs of frost anytime soon although you never can be sure You've had an great season as well!
 
Some more harvest pictures.
