My 2014 list and hopefully GLOG

thanks Goerge, very kind of you. I`ll be doing in-ground and container this year. We have a LOT of gophers here, so in-ground is a bit risky, to say the least, but two of everything in pots, then the rest in-ground seems like a good plan. At least it does today. I might change my mind tomorrow..... :P

Hi Jim. My light set-up. Hmmmmmm. Last year it caused quite a bit of consternation around here. Ok, my Wife was pissed. Really pissed. I had a ton of T5s, 2 very large incubators (a big no-no) with temp and humidity control, some big CFLs grow lights (105W, 6500K). Oh, and a very large electricity bill every month for 3 months. Did I say how pissed my Wife was???
 
I think my grow lights came in at around $120-140 a month. I`ve been told recently that I can`t do that again. More than once, actually. 
 
Just going to go with some smaller CFL bulbs (65W, 5500K) and plenty of reflectors this year. If if alters our electricity bill by more than 10% I might be looking for a new home............. :confused:

 
 
 
Ta-Dah. First sprout. I only sowed these 3 days ago.
 
Unfortunately, it isn`t a Capsicum. This is a curcubit called Achocha in Bolivia. I got the seeds from Bolivia, too. 
 
Ah well, at least it`s something!!!

More seeds up today. Only 7 days for Pubes - I`m liking that a lot!!!

Coral Reef - CGN 20813

Photos tomorrow!
 
Looking good Nigel! That Lite Warrior is good stuff, I just started using it myself this year and have had good results. I still use 3/4" of Jiffy on top for fast seed germination, probably more habit now than needed. 
 
Looking good Nigel. I tried the Light Warrior this year amongst other seed starting mediums and it's easily my favourite so far. Agree on the lights too. My wife was not happy with our electricity bill this past month. Though switching from peppers for me to tomatoes for her helped ease that a bit. 
Need to get one back on you too lol. Sorry about the Ashes mate. Wish I would've been able to see some of the games though.

The Ashes? What are they???
 
Nah, good on yer team mate, they played great cricket and Mitchell Johnson finally became the bowler I thought he could be. I assume you saw he just destroyed South Africa in the first test.

Yeah I was glad to see Johnson finally live up to his potential. Been a long time coming. England should bounce back pretty quickly though. 
 
Here`s the pubs/annuum tray. 
 
 


And C.chinense tray #1
 


C.chinense Tray #2
 


 
Germ rates have been very good. Overall, probably around 80%, but that`s because of a few that are 1/5 or 2/6. 

Here`s a few seedling pics, just to bore you all a little more.... :rolleyes:
 
These are really cool seedlings - Mata frade.

Only got 1/5 of the mini-Rocoto to germinate, but it`s very strong. I`ll keep my finger`s crossed that I`ll be able to send some your way. I have 3 or 4 seeds left, just in case you can persuade El Jefe!!!
 
Thanks for the comments, Shane.

Thanks Man, I`m blushing!
 
No can do on adding anything else...the growdown plants already broke that camel's back. I am just interested for future seasons. Thank you and I may take you up on the seeds later based on your review. 
 
Hey Nigel, Things look like they are doing Ok for you, I got my light bill this month and was happy to see that it was less than the prior month,   when my bill hit $170 I start cutting back on the heat, but I keep my seedlings warm and happy, while I'm cold and sad, not really, We have had some cold days here, but things are starting to warm up some, so my bill was only $138 this time around.
I didn't get the T5 setup I wanted for my seedling as the 4ft x 6 bulbs, were more than I wanted to spend, so I just picked up a 2 bulb T8 set up which isn't quite strong enough, so I will most likely get another one unless it warms up enough for them to go outside then everything will be put in a shady spot for a few days to harden off then I'll move everything to full sunlight which will drop my electric bill down to $90 or less.
I'll be glad to see them go outside as I can control the aphid problems I have been fighting since November when I brought in the plants I wanted to overwinter. I washed the plants down good and then sprayed them down with a insecticide spray and all was well for a month then I started to see them again and it's been an uphill battle with them every since. 
Next year will be better as I'm not going to overwinter any plants except for the rare wild species I want to keep and I will cut back from the 80 or so pepper plants to just 30 or less which will include my sweet peppers. that will give me more room for my tomatoes, eggplants and some other plants I want to start early.
Well Like I said your grow looks great, I can't wait to see them all grown up they should look fantastic by then.
 
A few photo updates.
 
Pubescens and Annuum Tray
 

 
C.chinense Tray #1
 

 
C.chinense Tray #2
 

 
Mixed Tray. Mainly C.chinense, but a few baccatums and frutescens as well. I only started this one a week ago, so it`s lagging behind.
 

 
Finally, the wild tray. Just Ok germination rates. 
 


 
These are the seedlings from the Peruvian seeds. Very strong in the main. Only 2 varieties didn`t germinate (Arnaucho 2 and Charapita).
 


 
Here`s a few specific ones to bore the pants off you again,
 
This is C.pubescens CAP 217. "The Starship Enterprise"
 


 
This is Tepin amarillo,
 


 
CGN 21474. Blackbird`s eye. It`s a wild C.annuum.
 


 
CGN 21566. Brazilian C.chinense, possibly related to the Roxa group.
 
 
Looks like you need a bump for more photo's , I got 2 Wild Amarillo's to pop out of 6 and they didn't look their best but at least they came up I had 4 Bubble gums that didn't make it, the same from my Jigsaw and SB7J didn't come up The seeds must have rotted as they were some of the first ones I planted as its too late to try and find seeds again I will try to find some seeds in the fall.
I did get 4 reapers up and going they will need some time to get strong growth on most of the, My red and yellow primo's out grew them. All the rest have done ok under the circumstances.
Your Pubes look like they are doing well, my hybrid Pubes are bigger than the rest of my peppers, I hope that they will give me some pods before the Frost and freezing weather kills them off.
