Peppin' Ain't Easy..."3/5King's 2012"

3/5King · Apr 16, 2012

@Beehunter-I know the leaves are ridiculous! The grow is going really well, things are up and down, killed a lot of them from under watering multiple times. The temps have been an issue as well as some other things but all in all it is going really well. You don't like my dime huh...lol. Well look no further than the quarter sitting on the leaves now :shocked:

Update for everyone: These are the varieties I have left from the starting list.(Started germination on February 12) I have more going on solo cups but I don't have room for them....they are just growing at the moment......lmao.

The numbers of each plant is a guess, with this list I counted 35 but I have 42. I'll go through them again later.

White Habanero-3
Long Chocolate Habanero-3
Chocolate Bhut-1
Yellow Bhut-1
Yellow Fatalii-1
Chocolate Scorpion-2
Naga Morich-4
Jonah 7 Pot-2
Brain Strain-10
CGN-21500-1
Datil-2
Pequin-1
Tepin-1
Douglah-1
Jamaican Scotch Bonnet-1
Peach Bhut-1

I have some in my home grow, but I will update that later.

Here is the greenhouse we built, it has 17 of the plants in it, they are doing awesome outside! We decided to build another one for the 25 other kids...lol. The rest are some individual plant photos.

Looks good brother. Are you using the fish fert alone or other supplements?

Jamison · Apr 16, 2012

Looking good man. Look like their beastin now.

Beehunter · Apr 16, 2012

That Choc Scorp leave is insane. thing looks like a dinner plate! Congrats on all the success! Are those 17 staying out there overnight? What is the temp gettting too at night there?

Mezo · Apr 16, 2012

What are you feeding them plants? them leaves are huge,

Mezo.

Pulpiteer · Apr 16, 2012

If you were trying to hide your plants underneath that quarter you totally failed. We can all see what's going on there.

Looking awesome!

PepperJam · Apr 16, 2012

Wow, bodybuilding pepper plants that can bench a quarter!

3/5King · Apr 17, 2012

@P-Son Hey man, thank you. I don't use the fish fertz anymore. I stopped after the second time using it. I used it and I got fungal gnats, then I used it again and they came out again. I stopped using it and I haven't seen one fugal gnat since....lol. So the decision was pretty easy. I started using Xnutrients Grow,Micro and Bloom. I also got free samples of Biofoliar and have foliar feeding with it for a while. Hard to discern if it is doing anything due to the fact that I'm using fertz too but for free, I'll try it out.

@Jamison-Yo, thanks man. They are beastin' like a mofo'! :onfire:

@Beehunter-What up Bee, thanks for followin' my buddy and I's G-log. You're always around checkin' in. I know the leaves are so freakin' big. I am so curious to see what they will look like in a couple months :eek:

I put them out on Friday, April 13th and the temps have been between 59-65 during the day and around 45-50 at night. Tonight it is going to drop to around 39-40F....so I'm going to cross my fingers and see how they are in the morning. Fingers crossed bro :pray:

@Mezo-Howdy dude. Glad to see you got the seeds! Grow'em big M! I am feeding them liquid Xnutrients brand, Grow, Micro and bloom. I'm also using some sample product called Biofoliar. I've been foliar feeding with that 3 times a week. I also just started giving them some squirts of Epsom Salt (Magnesium) once a week.

@Pulpiteer- Thanks dude! Haha yeah, I was getting flack for using a dime. Next time I'm busting out the half dollar. :twisted:

@PepperJam-Dude that's my secret.....Chile boot camp bro. "Get down and give me 20....you think your hot! Your Momma was a bell pepper!"

Update: Hey peeps, my bro and I wanted to un-pot a plant and see what the roots where doing. Yikes.....and these guys have another month to go in these pots. I really wish I could pot up again. Guess we will see what happens. The plant in the pic is a BrainStrain.

Thanks for checkin' our Glog out.

benzo · Apr 17, 2012

Hell yeah 3/5 King thats a healthy root system. Definately a key element to having big and vigorous plants. Looks like good times ahead for you mate.

PIC 1 · Apr 17, 2012

Hey 3'5,

Your plants are adapting to this "midwest" weather pretty good, they look very healthy. I see you've grown alot of "brainstrains". Those must be your favorites as the "scotch bonnets" are mine.
Good luck with your outdoor prep, plantings just around the corner........1 more month for me

Greg

3/5King · Apr 17, 2012

@benzo-hellz yeah indeed. I hope good things are to come. Next thing to worry about is if the garden area is going to get enough light and drain well enough.

@pic 1 yeah they are doing really well outside right now. It's pretty cold out tonight and this coming week is going to be in the 30s at night. I might have to turn the heater on in the greenhouse. I hate to do it, those heaters suck down the juice! One more month, man these guys are going to be giants by then. Really wish I could pot up but I don't have the room or the money. Hope your grow is doing well. Can't wait to see your outdoor grow! I planted a lot of brain strain bc I wanted to sell them. We will see how that goes. Thanks for stoppin' by.

Mezo · Apr 17, 2012

Mate you sent me "Super Scorp`s" i Google`d that & couldn't find anything? someone else also asked on my Glog what they were.

Please enlighten me David.

Mezo.

3/5King · Apr 18, 2012

@Mezo-Lol, I will let you know when I do. I got them from LunchBox and just started growing them, no questions asked. A lot of people have been asking me too. I asked him tonight a few hours ago, I'll let ya know what he says. I know it's supposed to be a Trinidad Scorpion but hotter. Thats all I know for now. I'll post something tomorrow on it hopefully.

He replied on my Glog earlier David, he found the post by chance & thought it was funny they had made it round the other side of the world. He said he named them Super Scorp`s as they are Super hot, but originally came from Alabama Jack.

3/5King · Apr 19, 2012

@Mezo-Cool, I though he said something about changing them....IDK. But in anycase, they will probably be a cool chile to grow. :cool:

Update: I figured I haven't updated my personal grow in a while, so I will now. It's going well, and the mistakes I make at the big grow help me in my little grow. I haven't had an over watering issue, I might have over fertilized......lol. My lumens are only at around 2100sqft so the growing is slower. Could be a lot of variables because the difference between the big grow and mine is only 700 lumens...so IDK. Plus I have these boxed up, surrounded by mylar and white walls. I thought that would add for something. :think:

But in anycase I am happy with the results. They seeds were sowed 2/29/2012. So this is 49 days from seed. (also I have 3 CFL's two are 6500k and one is 2700K, this could also add to the reason they are growing slower)

I took out the cabbage I had growing in Plant Hollywood and potted up outside. The thing was a monster and taking up all my space! I will take pictures of it tomorrow, just so you guys can see it's progress. Now that it is out, I am going to pot up the ones in the little solo cups tomorrow as well.(They were sowed around March 13th I think :think:

) For now here's some pics of what's goin' down at my house.

Thanks for droppin' in peeps

P.S. I'm letting one of them bloom for the hell of it! I don't have enough space for all of them to get huge anyway! It's gonna get excitin' in hurr soon enough. (I started feeding the one pictured below which is a variety of chile I got from the local fresh market, some of Xnutrients Bloom, we will see if I get flower drop or not)

3/5King · Apr 23, 2012

Man o Man.....everything was lookin' good on my home grow, until I fertilized that is. I over feed my kids but instead of getting obese they yellowed from the bottom up and the leaves fell off. Well this happened to about the bottom 30 percent of a few plants. It happened quick too. One day green and then I watered, the next day, yellowing like crazy and a bunch of leaves fell off.....lame. I'm going to pot them up and flush the soil. Should help out all around.

Well, here's our other greenhouse we constructed. Almost finished. Soon all of the plants will be outside hardening off. Just need a few more final touches.

I'll let ya know how the pot up goes. And by the way, this weather needs to warm the F up. These 30-40 degree nights are starting to irritate me.......mother nature....kiss my ass.....just sayin'

Hope everyone else's grows are going good!

Oh...and I've got some type of leave fungus on my plants. Any suggestions on what it is and how to get rid of it would be great. I really think it has to do with humidity plus foliar feeding. Something along those lines.....

Mezo · Apr 23, 2012

Just an idea David, cut them leaves off & chuck them.

Mezo.

3/5King · Apr 23, 2012

Hmmmmmm...might have to give that a thought

Tanks for the idea Mezo

stc3248 · Apr 23, 2012

Those look like burns from your foliar feeding...either the mix was too hot, or they were wet and burned from the lights/sun. They'll be fine, but a little less attractive.

Edit: Grammar...shouldn't post at 4am.

KiNGDeNNiZ · Apr 23, 2012

From one king to another. Niceeeeee!! Plants looking healthy. I sowed same time as you. Even with lighting. My plants are still in solo cups. I guess I need to get some nutes for them.

Jamaican scotch sowed 3/13... Don't really have funds to get all the good stuff. My plants are living on welfare compared to some of the guys you have....
