S.Labuyo's 2010 grow log

Hello all!

I'm kinda new to this forum and I also grow chili peppers just like you. I'm located in the philippines so peepers here live longer because we don't have winter here. I had started several varieties during the start of this year but unfortunately most of them died due to the dry spell that hit of country, only a handful survived. thank god that the dry spell is over and i just started planting last month all over again.. most of my seeds where sent to me except for the indigenous cultivars.

here is my list(not really that impressive compared to you chili masters):
siling labuyo (indigenous here)
siling haba (indigenous here)
siling lara (indigenous here)
siling bilog (indigenous here)
long slim cayenne
golden cayenne
trifeti
ancho
peter
medusa
hot banana
inferno
golden bell
bhut jolokia red
yellow scotch bonnet
pequin firecracker
shishito
takanotsume


so far most of the are still in the plantlet stage, only a few reached their maturity due to the dry spell.

i just wanna ask were to get the exotic varieties of peppers both nuclear and ornamentals?

wish me luck guys.

interesting. probably a hybrid? that might turn red eventually. keep it on the plant for a few days longer and it might turn red.

 

[siling_labuyo]

might be.. hope it won't turn red

I really looks like that cayenne is in its final colour... if so you better take good care of that plant. Its precious

is this choco cayenne? its been in that color for almost two weeks already:

Definitely some kind of cross. Not only because of the color; look at the tips.

i really hope that it will not turn red. about the tip of the fruit, the other fruits have normal tips...

Nice peppers neighbor!

thanks! looking forward on your future peppers too.

 

[siling_labuyo]

my labuyo pods... (hope the birds don't get it first when it turns red)

 

[siling_labuyo]

after a week of almost daily rains... the suspected choco cayenne for two weeks turned red and cracked open....

 

[Bleash]

Sorry to hear that the rain is damaging your harvest.
And I'm even more sorry for that chocolate cayenne of yours that turned out to be red. You and a lot of us where hopefull it was really chocolate.

yeah i was a little disappointed when i saw turned red. i thought it was a special pepper... well gotta harvest the ripe pods tomorrow before the daily rains damages the rest....

hmm, looks like BER, careful there S.Labuyo

what's BER? sorry, kinda new to that term...

 

[franzb69]

Ber. Short for blossom end rot.

 

[siling_labuyo]

checked the rest of the pods. only this one split-opened. hopefully its not blossom end rot.

 

[franzb69]

Maybe a bird ripped it open or something. Some lucky dude's gonna get cayenne peppers out of that bird's feces. Lol.

 

[patrick]

Don't think it's BER, there is always black, necrotic flesh around the hole in the pepper with it. This looks more like some type of mechanical damage, ie., birds, bugs.

Good luck with the rest of your growing season siling_labuyo.

 

[Silver_Surfer]

Yep, looks like bird damage. The ripped flap of flesh is visible. You had a seed bandit.

 

[siling_labuyo]

the other cayenne plant

labuyo pods

hot banana pods

flourescent purple, trifetti, variegata or whatever this pepper plant is called... but flower pods are forming now..
