The wild Cumari c. annuum v Glabriusculum starting to
fork at branch tips. Another furry friend.

"26/29 varieties up and growing!"

Still waiting, Red Tepin, c. lanceolatum.
No Show, CAP 1491 c. eximium.

 

[PaulG]

This c. galapagoense bud is developing into a flower.

Several flowers opening on the volunteer Pequin Rojo Chihuahua.

Looks like 2 hands are holding the style...

 

[Sulsa]

Looks like 2 hands are holding the style...

That's poetic man!

@PaulG: Some healthy looking plants in this glog!

 

[PaulG]

Thanks, @Sulsa!

Yeah, @MarcV has a way
with words and images!

 

[PaulG]

This is the slowest growing plant I have ever seen ,
after taking a coon’s age to germinate!

It has finally grown a leaf, but has hardly increased in
height, maybe a couple of millimeters.

Shown here with some of the other plants
from the same round of seeding for scale.

Thanks muchisimo for these seeds, @MarcV!
PPATB!

 

[MarcV]

Looks like those BOC seeds aren't that good after all... I would personally have given that up already I guess...
One would expect that seeds coming from the "inventor" would be the best...

There's a lot of grow season left, my friend!
I imagine it will shape up considerably by the
time plant out comes. I will be putting it in a
#2 or #3 NC , so it's okay if it's a small speci-
men. After 24 days to germinate it probably
is just a little tired, after all

 

[PaulG]

The c. galapagoense nestled into in it's table-top jungle.

The volunteer Pequin Rojo Chihuahua definitely is trying to set berries.

You can see the pollen grains on the style in this image.

 

[PaulG]

Adjusted grow spaces to make more efficient use of space.
Will give it few days to see if/how plants are affected.

 

[CaneDog]

Looks good, Mr. G!

 

[PaulG]

Looks good, Mr. G!

Thanks for the kind appraisal, Doc!

Big surprise this morning.

Red Tepin seed finally germinated. sprouted overnight.
From the looks of the cotyledons, I would say that it
had a tough time extracting itself from the seed casing.

Seed sown on 12/4/21, so 49 days to open up the cotys.
Perhaps the AeroGarden seeds will proceed a bit faster.

Seed from @Pr0digal_son - thanks a heap, John!

 

[MarcV]

49 days that is a really long time!

 

[PaulG]

49 days that is a really long time!

That is a long time for a Glabriusculum, for sure.
Waiting on the AeroGarden, hoping they will sprout
faster. Has been 18 days already. Not quite sure
why they are taking so long.

 

[PaulG]

All of the Pequin type peppers are flowering, (edit: except the
c. chacoense purple flower.) Latest to begin:

Volunteer Yellow Pequin. Lighting on the Growshelf is a bear
for image making


Volunteer Capicinno Chil-
tepin.

 

[CaneDog]

Great to see how many of your plants are getting underway with the new growth and flowering.

Yeah, the inside of my tents is a similar reflective material and it's definitely tough to work with for pictures.

I guess there must be such a thing as 'Volunteer Vigor'.
They seem eager to flower and get it over with. Will be
interesting to see what comes of the early flowering.

 

[PaulG]

The volunteer Pequin Rojo Chihuahua is getting serious about flowering.

Potting soil mix day

One bag each Happy Frog (2 cu. Ft.) and
Ocean Forest (1.5 cu. Ft.) plus .5 cu. ft. of
Worm Castings. Amended with

• 0.5 lb. Blood Meal
• 1.6 lb. Bone Meal
• 1.6 lb. Alfalfa Meal
• 0.5 lb. Fish Meal

Just catching up on your glog @PaulG and this must be high up there in the list of the greatest tidbits of information I've seen in this site. I really like it when people share their growing methods. One thing I want to try this year is to mix my own potting soil and thanks to your previous glogs I know this works. It's also great that once the plants are out they are pretty much on auto-pilot.
