That`s quite a list of very cool varieties!!!
Yea I'm quite sure I missed a few but it is a pretty decent list most of the will eventually end up bonsaied and kept for a few years other will be replaced and some will be added
 
I will try to make this one fairly exciting will try to post as much as possible for you guys . I have got a pretty good amount of pictures and plans of how everything will be happening this grow pssht who needs seasons. Will post the plans and everything tomorrow morning and pictures around mida day sowing begins at around 12
 
okay to get this thing rolling here is the plan each variety will be started with 1 seed per cell in the seed starter, I will be using peat moss and mycos to start them keeping the temp around 85 once sprouted the sprouts will be separated into divisions X Y Z, X being the most important section this will be used for extremely rare or difficult wilds or pubescens. Y being used for rare supers and Z for seed stock or culinary use peppers.
they will grow through 3 pot ups and some will go through a pot down.
extremely rare wilds pubescens and supers will become bonchis for seed stock purposes once they have completed the final pot up stage.
the stages of pot ups will small cup to 1gal and then 3 or 5 gal.
everything happens by division label for example division X plants will be potted up the fastest to increase the speed of growth so they can reach the bonchi stage fastest so they can be inside during the hottest part of summer producing.
each species will be well documented and the information shared here. if there are certain aspects of the plant you would like documented more please let me know this will help better my grow log for you guys.
 
here are a couple pics of the "nursery plant" chiltepin flower it has multiple flowers

also can any of you tell me how to edit the name of the grow log to add progress
 
Where'd you get your C. Flexuosum and Parvifolium seeds from? Alsokeep in mind that Flexuosum plants will not pollinate themselves or with anything else, you will have to have 2 plants to get fruit. In case you didn't know.
 
Capsicum flexousum is not self incompatible it sometimes has a tendency to be sterile but I have heard of self pollinating flex. I can send you some parvifolium seeds if you would like to send me an sasbe or we can trade
 
Very cool, I guess well be 2 wildheads in Vegas. I just sowed some of mine. My list is very similar to yours ;).

That tepin "El Guapo", should be the Sonoran tepin. My cousin sows seed from those and she sells them as she has a small nursery. The tepin that I have I got from her and I believe it's a Sonoran tepin.

I have a question. Are the seeds from the CGN 21502 brown? Is that normal?

Following your glog, hope to see updates often.

21502 can have darker seeds but not totally brown. I can get a pic of how mine look. Very cool should a couple rare varieties in a couple months. Whats your list like? how many plants?
