One last shot at it... DeNNiZ 2015 glog

so the past two years, ive been devastated with something i did not know.  it was a plague that consumed my plants late in 2013 and all year in 2014!!  this past fall, i had a chance to take a SOIL and PEST MANAGEMENT class and it was here where i learned what i was fighting..
 
 
i sent my plants to a lab and from there they diagnosed my issue to be ERIOPHYID MITES.. these guys are MICROSCOPIC (can be seen with 60x loupe) 
and have consumed my desire to grow...  it was hard to fight something i did not know was even there.  now that i do.. i am ready to try again ....
 
WELCOME to my 2015 growlog!!
 
heres a little something to help me with my fight.. thanks romy6 for the suggestions

 
 
the last of the pods i got

 
and now on to my grow... lets skip the seed part as ive killed everything outside and started some indoors already
 

what a difference 2 days makes in the aerogarden
 

got this tepin @ a burger joint.. snapped a branch and got it to root... first flower...
 

 

local buddy in san diego got me soem seeds from his PINK TIGER pods... he was the only one i knew stateside the got the results he wanted.  i have about 8 plants going.. hoping for one to continue to trait
 

these 3 pink tigers dont look as purple due to only getting window light and no direct sunlight
 
 

CGN24360.. i think,,,,,
 

the bigger boys... dont recall.. but have some PRIMOS... SB x yellow 7... just to name a few

Mojo NOT brown -mustard


 
Pimenta Leopard- topside of the flower


Moved some of thie bigger boys into 5 gallon containers!  --Maras..Pink Tiger..lemon drop.. MoA Red...Jepin.. and Fatalii sphere!

houston we have bells!!
 

 
got more plants in the ground and mulched with hay

 
took out the beat up tarp that was here from last year.. now that ive got what i want in this bed ... time to mulch!
 

 

 
added some water bottles to help get direct feed to the roots rather than runoffs... in socal we need every drop!
 

 
kale and veggie bed doing its thing...
 

 
salsa time
 

 
Scotch bonnet MoA taking off.. had to raise the lights..
 

 
Pimenta Leopard... the first 2 pods look stunted.. this and a couple are taking form
 

 
Black Finger Biber... thanks John Ford for the seeds!
 

Syrian Sweet....or is it?
 

 
Wartryx #2.. the other is in the aerogarden


 
wish this flexuosum sets more pods!!.. its soooo yummy!
 
Great pics of some damn fine looking plants. You've got a real nice variety of sweet, super hot, and wilds. The wilds have always intrigued me but I've never really grown them. I planted a couple this year from seeds I got free from Judy and the seed train. None of the rare ones. If I lived somewhere where I could grow year round I'd probably grow more wilds but here they would just compete for ow basement space with my beloved super hots. Can't have that lol
 
Lookin' righteous DeNNiZ! Good on ya for encouraging your daughters to garden. Venereal transmission of gardening passion is how I got it too... ;)
 
Love the modified water bottle funnels next to the plants... I hope they work as well for you as they did for me.
 


Been a little busy with the yard. .. got what I wanted in the soil and put the mulch to prevent them weeds from going crazy...



surrounding the kid's garden bed to keep the dogs away.. they keep digging in their bed



red inca in ground and this in 5 gallon is doing well and pods are setting...


aji limon starting to set pods


primo in hydro ... at least 2 pods. And one already showing promising tail


check on the plants at work. Woot. First pink tiger. My plants also habe began setting. Come July well see if there's stripes with these guys


first year growing these rhombodium. ... mad side shoots. Hope they bud soon

and the cutting is also doing well tripled In growth since last 2 weeks



Had a nice and lush scotch bonnet x.yellow brain that snapped at the base..grafts didn't take but I at least got 2 small cuttings to root...set me back about 8 weeks

Looking good Denniz. I love some of the crosses. Carport conversion is fantastic. I could use one of those. Good luck on your grow.

Thanks for sharing

Oh they're there. Just hiding. I'm sure when it heats up. They'll show in numbers

You've got a lot going on there! Looks great - I like the water cup method to hold the water and deliver it to the roots.  That makes sense.

Nice score on the Ladybugs DeNNiZ! That aughta keep the nasties at bay at least for a while. :)  I'm glad to see ripe pods out your way, it'll be some weeks before we see any here. How is the water rationing playing out for you if the reservoirs are nearly dry?
 

 
Nice heat DeNNiZ... that aughtta keep you warm at night... :flamethrower: :mouthonfire:
 
How's the situation with water rationing out your way? What strategies have you come up with to deal with it?

in regards to our water rationing, I have to 27 gallon totes that I fI'll on our watering days so if ever the plants need some extra water, I can give him that. By the way are watering days is Thursdays and Sundays with our weather warming up and the plants getting bigger and starting to pod, they are definitely requiring a little bit more water than usual. this year I have 8 plants that are hydroponic a lot more than what I've had prior years. My school also provided me with 3 bales of hay and I was able to put those on top of the plants and on my garden bed
