Melissa77754 2012 Glog

Hey Everyone

So I figured it is about time I start a Grow log of my own and I will do my very best to keep it up to date. With two kiddos and a massive amount of plants my days can be pretty hectic. I grew jalapenos and serranos last season, had a decent harvest considering the small pot size I used. In July I met a nice lady giving away hot pepper seeds to newbies on GW, decided to give them a try, August met Smokemaster through a generous SASBE offer and the rest is history!! lol

I started a batch in late August so I have some "overwinters" if you will, living in SoCal I can grow year round with the right protection from time to time. I started out with a cheap 12'x7' hoop house and when the winds thrashed that I bought two 6x8 with shelving, still the cheaper plastic hot house type but the shelving makes it heavy and the winds don't phase it. I also have a 6x6 indoor tent with a 4 bulb T5 and 2 monster size CFL's. The growth indoors versus out does not even compare, T5's are amazing! Have to thank my bro for giving me that fixture.

I am hoping I didn't bite off more than I can chew being it's my first real season growing super hots mainly. I plan to sell some plants along the way to help fund my pepper growing addiction

My log will be pretty picture heavy which I am sure most will not mind! Enjoy and happy pepper growing to everyone!!

Lookin' forward to more fun.

 

[Sanarda]

Great reviews....

 

[KiNGDeNNiZ]

thanks melissa.... thanks nick(mr pots)

Sneaking in a little glog catch up time ....Is the white pod one the White 7's? ...and What is the larger yellow pod at the 4 o'clock position?
Will pm interesting development with my Brown 7/Douglah sauce.

 

[MR_POTS]

I believe the white looking one is a pale looking peach bhut and the yellow is a Yellow 7 pot large! You guys should see my Yellow 7 pot large tree,It's around 7 ft tall and 5 ft wide and is currently blowing up w/ hundreds of pods setting and no signs of slowing down! Will get my sis to take a pic for you all to see!

 

[KiNGDeNNiZ]

i have a pic nick.. shall i post it.. =D

 

[gnslngr]

Melissa- Package arrived, can't wait to try out the contents, I am scheming for Houston departure even now. Pods are fridged up, sauce as well.
Nick-I guess that tree is why you hold your pepper so well in the video! Love to see that tree, and welcome to the "fold"

Thanks! Well I only have the yellow 7 pot large,So couldn't really say but the taste is great and so is the heat on these! I'll have my sis send you some if you'd like once the next round ripens up.

I shouldn't have a problem overwintering it,might build a canopy to cover it up from the rains once we start getting some out here in SoCal! We'll see what happens,and yes those bottles of sauce are from Melissa and I.One is a Peach Bhut Jolokia sauce w/peaches,garlic,white onion,white vinegar,water ,orange juice,cane sugar,salt to taste.I used over a hundred pods in that batch and estimate there to be around 7 bhuts per bottle of sauce,nice and hot! The other is a pretty complex sauce using various red superhots and some non supers as well,all from my sisters garden.It includes tamarind and kiwi in it,kinda winged it w/that one but came pretty darn good if I do say so myself!

 

[gnslngr]

Looks like the food bowl is empty (the yellow on next to the plant in the picture)! Gotta be a real beast if you actually gotta feed it with a bowl!

 

[Melissa77754]

Ok guys and gals sneaking in a little update while at work It's break time over here so I might as well take advantage! Sorry for being MIA, work and life in general has consumed all my time lately. I wish we could have done some more reviews but no time to fit that in lately Been missing all my THP friends!! I hope all is well with everyone's grow! A few pics to get the weekend started with!

TGIF!

Nick's pride and joy, the 7 Pot yellow LRG beast!! Seeds came from Judy@ pepperlover.

Large bed has exploded!

Cajamarca, this plant has been a great producer for me.
