Finally caught up on your glog.  Everything is looking impressive Paul.  If you can produce some gigantic pods with the elephant poop, you might find a market for that stuff lol.
 
 
Grew the yellow mushroom for two or three seasons and always had a problem getting them ripe before they got bad spots in them.  Lots of pods with gunk inside.  Trying the red this year.  Really a nice compact plant though.
 
Keep up the great work and I am still jealous of your spring like winters

 

[Sawyer]

Looking good!

Growmaster Paul...Kinda like Grandmaster Flash only greener! That greenhouse shot is perfection!

 

[SentencedToBurn]

Not going to quote the pic of your greenhouse again but dude, that looks insanely awesome. And good job on the progress, I'm just blown away by the greenhouse still.

 

[PaulG]

nice nice nice.........aerogarden just gone viral lol......greenhouse looking great....all greeeennnsss.... give them some of your zoo poop tea.....and see the explosiveness after couple days    

 
Thanks, Jericson!  I actually kind of wish they
would slow down a little - still many weeks to plant out!

The Cheiro Recife and BrainStrain 7 Pods:
Those leaves couldn't be any more perfectly formed and straight. Like did you starch and iron them?

The Cheiro Recife is a beautiful plant.
Just now starting to get it's chinense look.
 

Greenhouse is hoppin!

 

 
This.
The greenhouse looks really busy but organised!
I'm really impressed by your aerogarden plants they look really healthy

 

 
 
I love your greenhouse! A luxury

 
Thanks, guys.  There is hardly enough room to turn around inside!
 

Jealous, definatly a thing of beauty here. Nice work Paul!! Good to here the Inca finally sprouted.

 
 
Thanks, Anthony.  I had just about given up on the Inca Lost.
Darn Bird's Eye still not cooperating.

Thanks, Jeff!  I hope you have good luck with the red mushroom.
 
We are having an early Spring for the books this year.
I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop!
 

Looking good!

Thanks, John!

You are too generous, my friend!
 
But thanks for the positivity!

The greenhouse probably looks more trick than it really is.  It's just a 6 x 8
hobby kit from Harbour Freight; it was the least expensive one I found.

 

[Plantguy76]

Gotta be a little crazy      to grow peppers, brah!
 
I'm sure you can relate, my friend  
 

 
Thanks, Aaron.
 
I think having a fan on them helps with the stocky growth.  
The lights are T5HO; I'd love to have a grow room with an HPS!
 
 
 
 
I have seen some sites list it as a chinense, but Refining Fire Chilis, 
where the seed came from, lists it as an annuum, but with Scotch
Bonnet heat,  but when I grew them in 2013, they had no heat whatsoever,
but but they did have great flavor.  I use it to mellow out the hot red powders.
 
 
Thank you very much, Uros.
 
The camera is a Nikon D300S.
It is an awesome piece of technology.
 
Are you still looking for Orange Habanero and Aji Amarillo seeds?
If so PM me your addy, and I'll send some your way.

My Jamaican Red Mushroom was around regular habanero level when I grew them in 2013
They even started producing some habanero looking red pods and last year I had a plant puting out yellow hab looking pods
They come form lake valley seed I get them form the local store.
I think they must grow them by habaneros and some get crossed
Awesome glog you have here Paul best of luck to your growing season looks like your well on your way.
I also had Jamaican Hungarian Mushrooms last year a cross with a hybrid sweet banana the red version was good sweet fruity with medium heat the yellow did not care for .

 

[Devv]

Nice Paul!
 
On track as usual.
 
Keep it green!

 

[PaulG]

Newest members of the 2-liter club.  
The first three are Aerogarden plants
 
From Romy6 pod in 2012:

 
From Stickman, 2nd generation:

 
From Trippa:

 
Last Fall, I took three cuttings from a flowering 7 Pot Barrakapore, GaGrowhead:

 
One of them actually survived the winter, and is putting out lots of new growth.  Oddly enough this is the cutting
that ripened up the last pod while in the greenhouse.  Thanks for the suggestion Greg!:

Thanks, Plantguy!
 
It will be interesting to see if this JA Red Mushroom
produces any pods with heat this season!
 
Interesting crosses.
 

Nice Paul!
 
On track as usual.
 
Keep it green!

 
Thanks a bunch, Scott!

 

[cone9]

Nice plants, Paul!

 

[PaulG]

Nice plants, Paul!

 
Thanks, Dave!

 

[Trippa]

That Cabe Gendot is looking Like it is booming Paul!! as do all your plants ... nice one..

 

[Sawyer]

Those Barrakapore cuttings are amazing.  Which one is the one that survived, the one on the right?  Do you think ripening that pod had something to do with its survival?

 

[Peter S]

Paul, your greenhouse rocks! Plants look really nice.

 

[romy6]

 Damn you plants are the definition of perfection . Can I get a hell yeah !!!!!!!
 
Though I would keep you posted on one of your offspring brotha. This was from seeds you sent me last year labelled white hab with stinger. It decided to turn yellow but still a beautiful pod and can't wait to eat it . Thank you 
 
 Not the definition of perfection( the overall plant that is )  but it was a cold wet winter  ,  but she made it to see spring and she will flourish

Speaking about perfection I am bias but I feel that way about the Bahamian Goats I got the seeds form buckeye pepper company and they been nothing but champs hope that continues into the year already thinking about over wintering all six l    

 

[PaulG]

The greenhouse Yellow Ajis and Orange Manzanos are outgrowing their space.  
I had to bring them outside for some reorganizing and watering.  Goliath is in the  middle:

Three of the Ajis went back into the greenhouse.  The other and the two Manzanos
are under the canopy on the deck.  I'll just have to bring them in when it gets cool.
 
Goliath has set about a half-dozen small pods - this is the first and largest.

 
 

That Cabe Gendot is looking Like it is booming Paul!! as do all your plants ... nice one..

 
Thanks, Trippa.  I have it under a fluorescent light on my workbench.  
Seems to like the cool light better than the greenhouse.  I may bring it
back out there in the next week or so.  The plants seem to be doing
very well this year.
 

Those Barrakapore cuttings are amazing.  Which one is the one that survived, the one on the right? Yes  Do you think ripening that pod had something to do with its survival?

 
They looked great when I first cut them!  They just kind of wound
 down over the winter in the greenhouse and this one was the only
one that made it all the way through.  I have no idea if the ripened
pod had anything to do with it or not.  Interesting question.
 

Paul, your greenhouse rocks! Plants look really nice.

 
I appreciate the positivity, Peter!

As usual, you are very generous, Jamie.  Thank you.
 
The 'Giant White Hab' never was white.  The original plant was from Spankycolts.
It has thrown yellow pods from the beginning, and I have been selecting seeds from
the pods with the best stingers on them.  They look more and more like yellow Scorpions
with each succeeding generation.  I'll bet that plant roars to life in the Florida sun!  If it
doesn't produce pods with awesome stingers, let me know and I'll send some more recent seed.

Those are some fine looking plants! They're huge!

 

[PaulG]

Thanks, Andy.  Started them on 15 November, so at 4 months, I guess that's to be expected.
They are all in 1.7 gallon containers.  I'm chomping at the bit for plant-out!  They look a little
sad in this photo 'cuz they got too hot in the greenhouse that day, and most really needed a
drink.  they look a lot perkier, now.

 

[organic pepper]

Wow Paul!  Goliath got huge from the last time saw that bad boys pic. I think it was like 5" or 6" then. Just awesome!  Cheers Pal

 

[Roguejim]

Those roots want out of those pots and into some nice elephant poo!  I'm surprised you have pods already.
