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!

F7 PdN x BMJ plants in #3 nursery pots in full sun
on the deck. Branches beginning to grow up through
the canopies. These will be big plants by Summer's
end, I think, and a lot darker:

Oh, Happy Day  :dance:  Gary (Windchicken) sent me
some seeds I have been looking for. It's been a few
seasons since I grew either. In fact, the Bonda Mahala
was just known as Yellow 7 x BMJ. I am stoked to be
able to grow both these varieties in 2020. I wish it was
then already  :rofl:  Not really, just kidding   :liar:

A big Thank You out your way, Gary!
This is very much appreciated.

Looking good! Are the single posts working better for you?

So far, so good, sir. It looks like my posts are being rerouted
since a page or two flash rapidly on the screen before my
page shows up with the reply.

I will see how it goes when I add my captions. Thanks for taking
an interest in this matter. I will let you know if more problems arise.

Thanks for the kind words, Scott.
 
I just take pics from far away so the rough edges
don't show   :shh:   After the past two weeks being outside
in the wind, rain, cold, and hot sun, I could show you a
Rogue's Gallery of Ugly   :rofl:
 
I cut off a lot of big, damaged leaves so some plants
look lean. 
 
I'm sure your beautiful Virginia weather this summer
will produce some great results for you! Good luck
getting there!

I know the feeling about trying to frame a pic to not show my own mistakes. lol I need to trim off a few bad leaves myself. some hard rain put holes in leaves on many plants.
 
my plants are loving the warm weather we have coming through now.  just watering and waiting for the magic to happen.

Nice work there Paul!
 
And you're not the only one with posting issues. They must have done an upgrade, which sometimes is a downgrade ;) I've experienced my share....

Yeah, seems to be working now. Boss said rolling
out a new platform several weeks from now. That
has to be a PITA.

Heavy rain today, forecast calls for a couple of
weeks of acceptable weather coming up.

Think Summer
