PaulG 2019

No grow log for the 2018 season other than the Pimenta de Neyde x Bonda Ma Jacques
thread dedicated to Trippa's cross. That one is an ongoing community project going into
second year and a test of the F7 generation. I imagine I will mention it once-in-a-while in
this thread, but the details of its progress will be in the dedicated thread.
 
I am deciding on a grow list for the 2019 season after growing only Trippa's cross this
season (2018). I definitely have some old favorites that will comprise the great majority
of the grow. I have limited space, so I'm counting on nature to help me make the final
decision. I'll probably start lots of seeds since I'm gun-shy from the poor germination
rates the past couple of seasons.
 
Here's the pool. Would be nice to be able to grow a bunch of all of them!  I think my
neighbor will shelter the overflow in his yard, but we'll see what to plant and how many
based on what might germinate  :rofl:
 
c. chinese - 10 varieties: 
  • PdN x BMJ, F7, white and violet varieties, Trippa's cross
  • Fatali, F2 of seed from Pepper Joe's
  • 7 Pot Burgundy, brown phenotype, pecan shape from 2017 F2 of the 7PB from Windchicken 
  • Scotch Bonnet, MoA, F2 of seeds from John/Sim, not high production, but some nice pods
  • JA Red Habanero, F5 of seed from Walk Good/Devv
  • Yellow Scorpion, F7 aka Yellow Trinidad Moruga Scorpion and CARDI Scorpion, from Spankycolts plant 2012
  • Bhut Jolokia, Red, F4, from Spankycolts plant 2012
  • Bhut Jolokia, Chocolate, F3 of seed from Georgia Growhead
  • Bhut Jolokia, hybrid, F2 - I believe it is a  (BJred) x (Pdn x BMJ F1 or F2)
  • Yellow 7 Pot, F2 of seed from Trippa 2013
c. annuum - 4 varieties:
  • JA Red Mushroom, F3, brown phenotype, seed from Refining Fire
  • Pimenta de Padron - Spanish seed, fry up while small and green, throw on some salt
  • Pimenta del Piquillo - Spanish seed, sweet, very flavorful, small stuffers
  • Guindilla - Spanish seed, spicy heat, great pickled, long and skinny
c. frutescens - 2 varieties:
  • Nagahari from Tezpur, India, supposedly very, very hot freebie from Pepper Joe's 2017
  • Chili Costa Rica, F2 (2014) from Hippy Seed Company seed, 2012
c. pubescens - 1 variety:
  • Red Rocoto, F3 of Peruvian Market seed, 2016
That about does it. Seeding time will be here before we know it!

Thanks, Shane! Hope something interesting
happens here this season!

Are you growing this year? Wondering if you
are back in Poway or not

No Paul...we got transferred one last time and are down in South Carolina. I dusted off my seed bank yesterday and picked a few. Some of those seeds are pretty old, but I think they'll pop...at least some of them. Going to be different growing here for sure...it actually rains and stuff. I may or may not start a small grow log. If not I'll pop in here from time to time to see how you're doing. 
 
One thing is for certain...something interesting will happen at your place this season and every season...lets see if I top a page for old time sake...

I purposely left the top for you, brother! I know
how much it means to you  :rofl:
 
Wow - how long will you and family be in S.C.?
Were you affected by the storm calamity? If this 
your last transfer, you must be closer to hanging 
up your spurs.
 
Good luck growing in a real growing climate!
Watch out for the snakes and spiders!
 
So many of my seeds are several years old, I
decided to add a few more varieties in case
some don't come to fruition. 
 
   BOC, Ga Growhead, F2 2017
   BOC, Ga Growhead, F2 2017 - large red pods 
   7 Pot Burgundy, red, Sawyer, 2014 F3 
   Peruvian seed Aji Amarillo, 2017 F6 
   F1 of Tristen's PdN x BMJ 2014 - original seed from Trippa
 
There may be a couple more added later  ;) 
 
In the AeroGarden - started 11/29:
   Red Rocoto F3 (2), hooks at 10 and 11 days.
 
Also started 11/29 in AeroGarden:
   Aji Amarillo F6, 2017 - one looks like it will emerge tomorrow.
  PdN x BMJ  F7 violet from the globe-shaped pod, 2018
 
In cups on the grow shelf:
   PdN x BMJ, F7 white (5)
   PdN x BMJ, F5 white (3)
 
Paul...pretty sure this is it as far as the military goes. We are planning on staying here once I retire.  I hope to finish up my general contracting license and start flipping/acquiring/renting houses. The storms didn't do much here. We had a large pine tree down in the neighbor's yard and several down along our fence lines on base, but nothing too bad this time. We did get evacuated for a few days...which turned into a quick Disney vacation.
 
More seeds huh...that's how it always goes.

You could have gone all day without saying that   :oops:

Glad to see you escaped the storm damage and
got a vacation to boot!  We'll miss you out here
on the left coast if you stay in the SE after your
last hitch.
 
I will be jealous of your growing climate there  :D
 
I had four plants at the end of a row that were petty much completely shaded, they didn't do very good. But the one I had in the homemade grow bag did pretty good. I got 2600g off of it. Granted some of those were not worth using due to bug bites and stuff.

Two and a half kilos? Not bad!
 
Really excited to be following along to this grow! I have been using the links you posted to your previous grows and have been learning so much!
 
Edit: Not sure why this posted twice :think:

:welcome: to TheHotPepper, Robot Mode!
 
Thanks for the kind words, Steve. You are a brave soul to
venture into that part of the glogosphere! I'm glad you can
find something useful in those pages! 
 
Your indoor grow is looking great. You have some great
close-up pics. Guess I need to start using a real camera
again! Good luck going forward...
 
Fresh in from MarcV In Schoten, the original
Din Bjarne strain BOC! Thanks, Marc. Much
appreciated, my friend! Will definitely give
these a go in a couple of weeks!

Found in the dusty bin of my seed boxes.
Original 2013 seed from Trippa. Almost
afraid to give them a go. But it would be
fun to start over and try to grow a truly
isolated strain.

I guess they wont get any better. Might as well
give them a shot:

Hey, Andy, this will be my first try with this one. I have had little
success with the red variety - seeds from Romy6 were good,
but I never got more than a half-dozen pods off a plant. Hoping
the yellow variety will like our climate here a little more.

As usual I had the indoor pod set so had to get it to regrow for a nice harvest at plant out.

It grew great in our climate. Loves our humid and heat weather July- sept.

You will really enjoy growing it.
