Patrick's 2014 Grow Log

Yeeee freaking haaaa! It's that time of year can you believe it? I'll try to do a better job keeping the glog updated but don't hate me if I don't please!
 
Going to cut back on types and just grow a few this year. Absolutely fell in love with the Trinidad Scorpion Morouga from CPI last season so that will be my main grow. Got a few Sepia Serpents from SS that I'm intrigued by so a few of them. Had poor success with the Carolina Reaper last year so I'm going to give them another shot this season. Some 7 Pot Brain Strains and some 7 Pot Primo's will round things out. I imagine I'll be adding a few here and there as I can't never be happy with things at the beginning.
 
Best of luck to all of you and I hope you all have a wonderful season.
 
Let's get this grow thing on!!

Pics or it didn't happen, you guys slay me. My bad.
 

 
39 started so far. On a heat mat with temps about 84. I'm doing good too, I've only checked on them once so far today. Ha!
 
Thanks all for the kind words and the welcome backs.

 

[Spicegeist]

Looking good.  Nice bunch of 7 Pot superhots this year.

 

[meatfreak]

Good to see you again, Patrick and best of luck with the 2014 season! Hope you have a better one then last year's grow 

 

[Dulac]

I like the little cups you used. What are they? Are you growing SB7Js this year?

 

[Essegi]

Good luck! Have a nice start!

 

[Devv]

Good luck this season!

 

[maximumcapsicum]

Good luck!

 

[patrick]

Thanks again for the well wishes all!
 
Dulac those are 3 ounce Dixie cups. I usually go with the cup in a cup method but decided to just poke holes in the bottom of these and use a pan with a rim to hold the water until it gets absorbed. I will be growing the SB7J again. I have seeds from one pod that grew successfully back in 2012, nothing from 2013. I have some original seeds that were open pollinated I'm going to try too. Someone was kind enough to send me some from a 2013 grow but oh scatterbrained me can't find them.
 
Great to hear from you meatfreak, hope your grow goes well too. Last year was definitely a struggle. I'm letting my lawn service go, I want pepper plants more than I want a green lawn I guess. I doubt if my neighbors are happy but oh well.
 
Take care all!

Sounds wise, Patrick If you need some SB7J let me know, I still have few original F2 left from you, both isolated as non-isolated. Also got some F3 although the pods I had didn't look much like the F1.

 

[millworkman]

Lets hope you actually follow through on those promises of following through.  

 

[patrick]

Thanks Stefan, I'll let you know.
 
Hey hey millman! Good to hear from you. I will endeavor to persevere to follow through on my following through! Feel free to bark at me if I don't! Ha! How's that little lady doing?

 

[stc3248]

Haha...go small or go home Patrick! I am in your boat. Almost didn't grow at all...but talked mama into letting me start a couple. Wilds is all....oh wait...maybe some Jals too...hmmm, can't go without some Big Jims...wait...what about MOAs...damn. Think she'll notice???
 
Update when you can brother, and I will be by when I can...deal???

 

[patrick]

Deal Shane! Good luck keeping it under 50...or 100 or ...!

I might try Dixie cups next year. I have F4 SB7J non-isolated seeds, but I've been selecting for a Scotch bonnet shape, which I plan to name atomic Scotch bonnet. I also have seeds from the gen that grew from the seeds you sent me that I can send 
 
Here is the F4 SB7J atomic Scotch bonnet so far:

 
A smaller version also grew for me, but I'm not growing them out. I can also send those if you're interested. They are interesting, mini SB7Js, lol:
 

 
There were other types that grew for me, but I found these two the most interesting. None had the SB7J look you were going for. I also had an F3 that showed no Scotch bonnet characteristics. They all tasted about the same and delicious .
