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!
 
 
 
:party: Going to finish planting out tomatoes and annums today!

Looks great Paul. I like the corner braces.
Thanks, CD.
 
I found them at our local Fred Meyer (Kroger) store.
 
My spousal unit likes it when things look not quite so
knocked together!

Yeah, seriously nice work! How many plants do you reckon you'll fit in there?

Thanks, Erv. 
 
I will fit six tomatoes down the middle and smaller stuff
down the sides. Its a 4' x 8' (1.3m x 2.7m approx.) box.
 
No peppers - They took over all the big containers, so
the tomatoes go in there!

I like your yard! Really nice setup.
 
Thank you, Mika! It's a work in progress.
 
Lots of revising and retrofitting!

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.
this post seems to make a lot more sense as to why my nagabrains yellows were throwing out fully pdn purple phenos.
 
 
i wonder if there is correlation, any more info on this strain???  yellow x bmj seems WAYYY more descriptive of the strain im growing.

Edit: as i figured whp cites a man named gary as the source for his seedstock, assuming its the same gary, im pretty sure i know why my naga yellows are 100% purple. :D
 
2nd edit:  ooof, pdnXbmj has me thinking bmj is purple, and its not, so maybe im just thinking too deeply on this :D

That is why we need to nail down a real
name for the PdN x BMJ. All the letters
are too confusing.
 
Got 15 annuums into pots in the past
couple of days. Will get some pics up soon.

Tomatoes went into the new raised bed. Added
Fish Meal, Blood Meal, Bone Meal, Alfalfa Meal,
and Worm Castings to the dirt around the plants.
Dont know what I will put down the sides, yet.
Some Marigolds for sure.

Now this is gardening! Mine is more like a science experiment.
Thanks, Sir! Believe me, there has been a lot
of experimenting here. As a matter of fact, it
is still ongoing!

what a clean well organized grow setup. well done!
Thanks, Scott. I try to keep it neat to keep my better half happy!

Seems to me staggering the plants in that raised bed would maximize the available root room.

You are right, 'Fish. I wanted to leave some room
down the sides for other plants. That will be a jungle
by summer's end if the soil does the trick.

Wish you a good season.
