PepperDaddler's 2013 Glog (UPDATE 9/28/13)

Hello all.
 
Guess it might be a little late to start growing this year but dammit I'm gonna try. It is Florida after all. I don't have pictures from the very beginning and I only have an old phone to get pictures so bear with me, and sorry if I'm doing it wrong.

Non Peppers:

Chocolate Mint
Patio Tomato

I think some of the neighborhood kids got into my labels, so I will have a few plants that will have to be mysteries until they pod up. All have sprouted so far and I may have to do an edit later on to properly ID them, but I will, I promise.
 
Here is a couple of pics to get this thing started. The colors are dull because that is how the phone camera is.
 
Various sprouts, will give them better pics and actually name them later:
 

 

 
Datil OWs (Frost got em):
 

 

 
Black Pearl just got from the neighbor not looking too hot:
 

 
I cheated this year because it is late and I'm ready for pods. Got 3 plants from the flea market today, its my second year so I can get away with it still  :
 

 
Red Trinidad Moruga Scorpion:
 

 

 

 

 
 
 
Bump please.

Labeled "P Jalep" because the seeds came from a over the border Mexican called Pasquale I was friends with. Hot big ass Japs that always cork:
 

 
 
Strange mystery that some say is bell. I have never seen an acorn shaped bell:
 

 

 

 

 
 
These stems on the peppers are as big as my pinky:
 

 

 
Trinidad Scorp from Ed at StAuggiehot peppers (member) given to me personally. He gave me the Aji Amarillo as well:

Called "Lil Datil" because the mother was named lil datil, not cause little pods. Should call them Juniors I suppose:

wow all of this stuff looks so good!!!!!!!

How much did you pay for those plants from the flea market?
A local nursery was selling 2' Ghost Pepper plants for $18 this spring.

 
Sounds a little pricey.

Hey, we're growing a lot of the same stuff.  If your luck with Bhuts and Dorsets is as good as mine, those should produce real well for you.  We'll have to trade for some stuff later.  Excellent start to the season!  Really nice haul!

 
Thank you!

It's not too late to get the grow going especially with the Florida sun. You got a great start with the seedlings. Nice score with the larger plants, I'd pot those plants up to containers twice the size before the next flower clusters appear.....or simply plant them in the ground.

 
Potted up and they are loving it as you can tell. New seedlings are in the dirt.

Looks like you are doing pretty good, I wish there was a place that sold something other than cayenne, jalapeños and Serrano's, thank god I can drive over to Baker's Creek and buy some ghost pepper seeds they also have a few hard to find peppers along with about a thousand other vegetable varieties.   
Your selection of peppers are pretty good,  I think if I could buy full grown plants,  it would save me a lot of time and Headaches from having to buy lights and soil, pots and all the other good stuff that goes with starting plants from seeds..
Well good luck with your grow I hope that the summer doesn't burn your plants up, the weather has been really crazy this year.

 
Thanks! Good luck to you too!

Ten bucks? I would have bought them

 
Yeah, I am glad I did.

How many plants are in the Big Datil pot?

 
Somewhere between 4 and 6. Sometimes that's just how I roll.

Healthy plants and they will appreciate the shade cloth. Those are huge leaves on the Naga, my Datil plants also have cupped leaves. I wish I had a "Datil Tree" like the one you have growing !

 
They are having a party in there. Love those huge leaves myself.
 
I hope the "tree" keeps on growin' tall.

 

[newpeppergrower1105]

awesome looking plants. what size pots are your large plants in?

 

[romy6]

 Plants are looking good man. Was in your parts last week. Just so busy with the family wife made me promise to not do anything chili related while on vacay. 
 
 Keep the updates coming. 

 

[Tinben]

Nice looking plants. Some very nice Sabina habs also.

The largest 4 plants are in I think 5 gallons. They are pretty big and heavy.

Thank you very much!  Love the candy red color myself.

Got hooks on Chocolate Habs and Butch Ts, Aji Lemons sprouted quickly.

Bonus Chocolate Mint:
 

 

[Scarecrw]

Nice looking choc mint. To bad they don`t carry the hybrid through the seeds. I tried it once and ended up with normal mint. It still tastes good in my mint julep.

 

[thegreenman]

How's the mite battle going for you
?

 

[PepperDaddler]

Yeah, this started off brown colored then the frost got it. It came back green. Hope it reverts but I don't think it will happen.
 
Lost some of it's smell and flavor profile but it is still there a little.
 
Maybe it needs some fert. Have not fertilized anything this season yet. With flowers starting on the peps, don't really want to risk it either.

I have not noticed any NEW damage from them. Maybe the Organocide got 'em or maybe they moved on.  I have new bright green growth so I am assuming that is a good sign.
 
Aphids will be gone soon. They have already dropped in numbers. I am going to recruit ladybugs to the battle.

 

[Nightshade]

Good job on those sprouts I just reviewed the butch t and man it totalled my stomach it is just pure mean heat. I didn't like the flavor at all. It wasn't the hottest I have had but definitely hot.

 

[PepperDaddler]

Got 'em
 

 

[PepperDaddler]

Not too much to update and my phone is not cooperating today.  Just a few pics of whats going on.
 
-Got a dehydrator and grinder and powder production is in the works.
 
-Ladybugs were released and went to town on the aphids, they are currently copulating.
 
-Got first pods on a few plants, and a lot of plants are recovering after dropping leaves from the aphids.
 
Here's a few as usual crappy pics. ( I REALLY need something better! )
 
 
 
Alright, first up those peppers turned out to be bells:
 

 
This Red Savina looks like a bubblegum:
 

 
Cool Dorset pic:
 

 
More Dorsets:
 

 
Japs starting off:
 

 

 
Red Habs one of the first newbies to set:
 

 
Never had more than 2 per node, so this is exciting to me:
 

 
Hard to see but there are some small Pearl pods there:
 

 
I don't know why but the wasps are loving this shade house, I am not a fan...:
 

BUMPPP.

 

[Seacowboy]

You got it P Diddy.

 

[PepperDaddler]

FINALLY!

Thanks!

OK.
 
So should I start calling the shade house the "Love Shack"?
 

 
 
 
They really don't like you taking pictures while they're doing that...
 
 

 
 
There's a lot of that going on.
 
Most of them seem to like flying up to the ceiling instead of guarding my plants  :
 

 

 
Some starts looking promising:
 

 

 

 
Some Scorps:
 

 
 
 
 
And I have been thinking of using some MG tomato since I have not ever fed my plants and I have some. Also wondering if this would be any good to use:
 

 

 
 
Thoughts?
