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!

Lovely list Paul, best of luck for 2019!

Thanks, Fabrizio. We'll see what varieties I actually
wind up with. I may have to make some last minute
substitutions if some of the older seed doesn't manage
to germinate for me   :neutral:
 
Here's to a bonkers season for you, as well!
 
Another hook today, Scorpion from self-selected seed
from a large pod. At this rate it will take a month to get
a hook out of every rockwool cube   :rofl:

Some progress at least though Paul...I'm pulling for ya hooks!! :pray:
If that doesn't bring 'em up, nothing will   :thumbsup:  thanks Matt!

Good to see them coming up.  You're just getting into my sweet spot for hooks - days 7 - 11.  Hoping to see a mini forest for you soon!
 
Right on, day eight now. Really hoping that
these first three are just outliers   :lol:  'Dog!
 
Can't wait to see your season really rollin',
my friend! Thanks for the good thoughts!

Darn... seeing all this makes me want to get started with my own 2019 season... :drooling:
I'm ridiculous this year, Marc.
Don't follow my example  :lol:
 
I just wanted to give the baccatums and pubescens
a head start, my germination rates being what they
are the past couple of seasons. My plants in the F7
grow are basically the results of failed germination
tests which I kept out of fear of not having any.

I know right, looks like the equipment comes out this weekend

Nice looking plants Paul
Thanks, and good luck pulling it together, Bobby.
Looking forward to seeing your grow.
 
Genetikx said:
Looking great, Paul and glad see you're able to have other varieties this year. Good luck with the rest of the hooks, bet you'll have a bunch real soon.
 
Thanks, Ryan, I missed tending to the plants while we
were gone last Spring. From the looks of my germination
rates so far this season, I may not have that many varieties  :rofl:
 
Hoping you will do a grow log this season. Are you growing
the PdN x BMJ cross?

Pretty sure thats a custom job, havent seen anything like that for Aerogarden I have

Correction: its a booster kit
 

Yeah just a reflector kit basically...think they are like that to allow abit more air flow as well compaired to the solid one I have on my older Aerogarden.

Hmm.  Pretty crappy reviews..

What are the mirrored slats?  They're attached to the AeroGarden hood?
They are just sheets of Mylar cut into strips so they
are flexible to wrap around the dome. Mine came
free with my AeroGarden on sale. Havent read
the reviews, but I find them very effective in
preventing the plants from leaning into the
center of the unit.
 
Another day, another hook. This is another Scorpion:

There are several more hooks stirring in the rockwool cubes.
Maybe four or five should emerge in a couple of days. At least
I know now that the rockwool cubes work okay.
