Wow, that mojo blue ghost is one sexy plant. I wouldn't mind having those in my front yard as ornamentals.

My first year growing this one. Definitely the
beast of the grow so far. John at Trident Chilis
always comes through!

That Antep Aci Dolma should produce some really nice pods, Paul! My original seeds came from Frank, the moruga welder, and I believe those came from the children of seed he bought from Ford's. Frank would confirm, if you asked.

...just in case you're ever curious about lineage. Of course being open pollenated throws it all out the window, but still.....

It is always interesting to know the lineage
of the peppers I grow. Thanks for the information,
Eric. I am looking forward to trying them. Always
looking for an alternative to normal bell peppers!

Ihope that you and your family are all well and
healthy. Take care, my friend.

Got the Rocoto plants out for some
fresh air and mild sun today:

The big Peruvian Red on the right side has set one pod.

I’ll save you some seeds at the end of the season, PF.

That would be great, thanks!

Plants looking great, as usual.

Your second round is not far behind my first (and only) round.

Thanks, Al. Six down (or up) and six to go.

I need to go out to the garage and check
on them. Maybe there will be more good
news!

My Aci Dolmas went in on the 21st, Paul. Got two coty's this morning. Your seeds are from my first grow with them, two seasons ago. What I planted are (I'm guessing here, age-wise) from the season previous via the Moruga Welder...

Just skimming over things. Hope you are well amigo!

New kid on the block in Round Two.

Zapotec Jalapeño, seed from Devv:

PaulG · Mar 29, 2020

The baccatums are probably some of the better
plants of the indoor part of my grow this season.

Left, Aji Benito, lots of pods have set, right, Sugar Rush Peach
developing some nice pods, both from lespaulde:

Sugar Rush Cream, seed from Devv.
This one was topped, flowering nicely now:

First Round Two seeds to go three for three.

Golden Marconi F2 from last season:

Just waiting for the last four varieties to make an appearance.

Plants continue to look great, Paul! I really like the leaves on the SRC.

What's your take on rockwool for germination and for the transition of the sprouts to soil? I've found better success letting them root in a while versus the times of tried to transfer the sprouts soon after sprouting.

Hope you're getting some of the nice bright sunshine we are up here, today!

HeatMiser · Mar 29, 2020

Great plants Paul, that's going to be a nice little harvest from the SRP!

When you're done with round 2 - how many plants total will you be taking care of?
