OCD 2023

Been debating on growing or starting a GLOG. Doing both. I had some Goats Weed and Pusa Sadabahar plants from last year. I overwintered. Kept them in the kitchen window until a few weeks ago. Set up my tent and threw them in there. They were flowering like crazy and had pods on them in the kitchen window. I recently crossed the GoatsWeed with the Sadabahar. Should be interesting.

43 seeds sowed. And more germinating. This will be a container grow. We’ll see what pops.

Here is my list:

Infinity
UFO Habanero (Mine)
Ring of Fire
BOCx Aji Pineaplle
Blue Ghost Peach
Jigsaw
WHP2 Scotch
Scotch Brains Red
Coyote Zan White
Aji Charapita
Hellfire Weed
Freeport Orange
7pot Primo
MOA
Habanero x Bahamian Goat
Peach Fatalii
Borg 9 Purple/Red
BrainStrain (Mine)
Scotch Brain
Reaper Peach Bhut
Telin x LemonDrop F2 from Mike. (Couldn’t find any later version of this. And Mike hasn’t seem to be on the sight recently)
Bonda Mahala (windchicken)
Forbing Naga (windchicken)
Reaper
Bhut Ghost Peach
Red Thai
Thai Hot (Strain2)
Jamaican Gold
California Reaper Peach
Serrano Tampiqueno
Hatch Red Hot
Aji Caballero
Scotch Bonnet Red (Strain3)
Tabasco Greenleaf
Tabasco
NU Mex Pumpkin Spice Jalapeño
Jamaican Hot Yellow
Orange Habanero
BOC Reaper (Red)
Tepin x Lemon Drop (TownsEnd)
BOC Reaper (063)
Primo (windchicken)

I’m sure there may be a couple I left out.

Well it’s been a month since my last entry. Nothing much to report. Pots have been filled for awhile waiting for plant up. Been hardening them off in the kitchen window. It will help. The smaller plants get rotated back and forth to the tent.

Aero babies are doing alright. Going to try some Kratky and maybe DWC. We’ll see. That’s it for now. Don’t trust the Colorado weather just yet. They usually say the week after Mother’s Day. 81 today, 43 at night.

Happy growing!

Oh, I’ll be trying to get caught up with your GLOGs. Been busy with home repairs and such. Need an 8th day to get anything done around here.

Made my lean to this morning. Took a couple hours. I like things to be as perfect as possible when I build stuff. South facing. Has electricity on one side and water on the other. It will make a good sunroom slash greenhouse. Obviously not finished. I need to draw up some configurations and see what I like. I’ll brace it up some and figure out a side door.

Looking good! Should be a big plus for hardening off plants and extending the harvest season.

Thanks!

It should do well. I’m curious to see what the day temps will be in the Winter. The decking gets warm.

Yeah I’m only OCD when it comes to things I’m passionate about. I’m actually moderate ADHD diagnosed.

Thanks for stopping by!

Looking good Chuck! Should be rock-solid with that frame. Nicely done!

Thanks Rick.

We get 50mph gusts at certain times of the year. I need to make sure the roofing stays on. I might go a little overboard when I get to that point.

Time to start potting up. Just thought I would share the difference in my Tabasco Peach Aerobaby vs the soil grown. Both plants are 27 DAYS OLD from sprout. The soil plant just started showing a root tip in the bottom of the container.

I plan on making a bigger scale version for starts. I have no problems going from hydro to soil. No shock at all. Been doing it for nearly a decade.

Laying out the roof. Glad I went with the tint. It provides some shade. Screwing it is going to be tedious. Nothing new about that, I know the drill. Pun intended.

I think it'll be good the way it is. I believe I need to add a couple more braces for snow. Although it should slide off with the heat for the sun. I’ve had no real plans from the start. I’ve been designing along the way. We shall see if it pays off.

Nice! Superclustets. How do they taste?

Nice! Superclustets. How do they taste?

Nothing special. Typical floral seasoning pepper. Like cayenne. They are prolific, hot and from India.

I’m growing a cross between the Pusa Sadabahar and the Goats Weed (Black Cobra). We shall see how that turns out. I like both those varieties.

Here is a little info from Indian Agriculture Institute.

Technical information for Pusa Sadabahar of chilli.


“It produces fruits in cluster. Fruit bearing is upright. Generally 5-8 fruits per cluster. Yield potential is 8.0-10.0 tons/ha during first year. The plants are perennial in nature i.e. it can be kept in the same field for 2-3 years however, the yield gets reduced. It is tolerant to leaf curl virus but susceptible to tospo virus.”
Plant height is 60.0-80.0 cm. Growth habit is upright. Leaves are dark green and broad.

Those look amazing! I'd like to try some of those.

Got the roof on. Now I need to figure out some walls. Just making shit up as I go along. This isn’t my trade, so I’m sure it could look better.

 

[CaneDog]

Looks pretty darn good to me!

Nice greenhouse, can’t wait to see it finished. You have given me ideas for myself. What size pipe is that you used for the frame?

Nice greenhouse, can’t wait to see it finished. You have given me ideas for myself. What size pipe is that you used for the frame?

The pipe is 1 3/8” top rail fence. For chain link. Any Lowe’s or Home Depot sells it. I bought a kit from Amazon just for the 1 3/8”. 1 3/8” is the same size I built the hoophouse out off. Very strong for the application.

There are some kits that will accept EMT electrical. Which is usually cheaper. You can get the kits in smaller sizes and bigger sizes as well. I will post some links for you when I get home.

Another option is buying a portable shed from Amazon for cheap. You can make a nice house from that as well. If you prefer hoops, look for FREE Trampolines on Facebook Market place. People try and get rid of those death traps all the time. It’s a big circle. Cut it half and it’s two hoops.

We’ll here are some links. Mine is from Amazon. I’ll be ordering a kit from Sacramento for a bbq /smoking canopy. I’ll use the EMT for that. I believe EMT is thinner wall. But, if you brace it up and enclose it, it will be just fine. Plus, you can find EMT used for cheap. Left over from jobs in construction. Let me know if I can help. It’s not my specialty, but I am mechanical.
