PIC 1's......Pod Pornage.............2012

Here's the start on my grow log. Well no pods yet but I have to start somewhere, and away we go!

The seeds in the containers are all c.chinense. They were dunked in a germinating solution for an over-nighter on December 1st.
This was the first phase of the germination process with plantings happening every 2 weeks through the month of January.
The annum species and the mild/medium strains will get planted late Jan through early Feb.

Most of these are "Super-hots.

Here's a shot from today, things are looking up and up.

Here's a unique looking seedling. It has 3 cotyledon's and a set of 3 true leaves. The seedling is a Trinidad Scorpion Green, seeds are from Chris (cc). I've seen the triple cotyledon with my Coronong's but not the triple set of true leaves at the same time

Here's another seedling that caught my eye. The leaves are as dark purple as my Dutch.Hot's. This one's the Purple Bhut Jolokia seeds were also from Chris. I know the leaves will eventually turn green.....but right now they look pretty... :cool:

Did somebody say "Purple"......Here's one of my overwinters. The Maui Purple. The flowers have set and soon the chili's will form...........yea

More to follow, soon

A lot the glogs on here are already getting crazy, but yours and BigC's are one the tops for me. BigC because he's so new and right down the way from me. :cheers:

plants look very happy Greg...keep it goin' man...
 
Thanks for the kind words.......I'm hoping to see these plants covered with white (and some purple) flowers in about a month. It's always interesting to see the 1st Scorp , Douglah or even some pumpkin shaped pea size pepper forming..........How do you slow these darn things down,,,,,,,,,,,,.............,just kiddin !

Ehh... Those would do in a pinch. Heeheehoo Those trunks should hold up to those Lake Michigan breezes. I call dibs on next Weeks harvest.
 
Wow, Greg. That's incredible. I'm still holding off from doing the grow lights, but your set-up could change my mind...

I love the old photos, too!

Beautiful plants. Well worth the hike through 11 pages.

Thanks Brian,

I have a couple of your Fatali/Savina crosses growing.....When I come acroos them I'll post a photo

thanks for the complment

Greg

Your plants have some awesome trunks on them! I'm really digging your Pequin Chiapanas plant, it has a real cool growth pattern.

Thanks,

I'd bet that one could be trained to sprawl in a large hanging basket....................hmm

Greg

Hey Gary,

Thanks, I wish I didn't need the lights a all, but where I live it's the lights or buying some crummy starts from a nursery. If I lived in your climate, I'd probably just throw them out my bedroom window........just like "Jack" did.............pepper stalks ......that is.

Oh man, I wish I had some more old garden shots.............that was when a tomato was a tomato.....todays "heirloom's" were yesterdays staple

As always, great seeing to what ridiculous extremes one can go growing
chile peppers :rofl: and what amazing results can be obtained :clap:

Really fun just looking at your grow out, Greg! You are a craftsman with a
green thumb! Thanks for putting this out there for us to enjoy. I always look
forward to your updates!

Thanks Paul,

My wife ask me what am I going to do when I retire...............my reply, "Work in my Backyard"

Updates are always coming.....Some good, some bad. I think we can all put our minds together and learn from each other

PIC...I love looking at your porn. Im aspiring to grow as nice of looking plants as yours. I have two suggestions for you update pics. 1) You should have a twelve inch ruler in the pic. 2) you should say how old they are. That is my suggestion/request. Keep on keepin' on man.
 
Great update once again Greg.
Couple of quick questions (sorry it's in my nature to ask questions :D )
What's the story with the cups with the plants and water in them? ? Cuttings I presume?? And if so what are they? ?
