SG's 2012

Since late last year I've been starting seedlings in waves because of limited space and other constraints. So I have a good number of plants in varying stages of growth, with some trying to flower too. The plants are looking good and I am poised to have some tremendous harvests. Last year I only grew a fraction of the what I am attempting this year and even then I had a hard time keeping up with the harvests. I am sure I will go crazy with all the peppers this year.

Here is the where most of the plants start out:

Focusing on some individuals:
Murupi Amarela

Praetermissum initiating its first fork:

Chacoense:

Fatalii x Choco Bhut F2:

Sonoran Chiltepin:

A Brown Rocoto about to flower:

Nice photos, all shapes and sizes of plants, look at all those "Fat's x Cho Bhuts" That's a minnie farm.

Good luck, photos are cool,

I have a number of Brain Strains going, but one has really grown faster than the others for whatever reason:

Douglah flowering:

Clavo flowering:

Capsicum pubescens:

Overwintered Yellow Bhut I really liked:

Same Yellow Bhut up close:

These are all further along:

Looks great, are you using sunlight or indoor lights too? and you have a Galapagoense! I have some too in plugs that i just got germinated and are raising some hooks My first wild pepper grow.

How old is your Galapagoense and how long did it take to germinate?

Thanks Greg, I should have more F2s I have in the humidity domes germinating later too, I may just keep them on my less than ideal patio just to select for the fruit characteristics I want and then take better care in F3 to baby them in the ground.

I am really excited about my galapagoenses, the best specimen I have popped up by surprise in the soil around another plant I had. The only very controlled batch of seeds I attempted yielded me one galapagoense at 15 days, the rest, are way past 30 days and nothing. If I get fruit off of the few I have growing, I will definitely be keeping these going over the generations. As for how old it is, it can't be older than two months. I start the plants under the grow light and then when they're big enough, put them in a partially sunny window... and just hope they can hold on until it warms up.

Great looking plants, good luck with the F2 fatalii x choc bhuts. Those F1 pods looked awesome!

Thanks, I am also very curious about the F2... I hope I find what I'm looking for: essentially a pod that looks like the choco bhut, but pure yellow. I will also be on the lookout for any unexpectedly pleasant phenotypes to save as well.

If nothing happens for the other Galapagoense seeds and you give up, try scarification as last resort. I waited 6 weeks with nothing, did some scarring using my exacto knife, and the NEXT DAY, i had 6 / 8 seeds sprout. crazy!

Huh, scarification, thanks for the tip. I have about 4 or 5 groing right now, so I'll probably just mix the other seed closer to the surface with some other plants so they can surprise me at a later time.

Hi Joe, I have a few Wild Brazil germinating now, I am also growing Cumari do Para, which seems to be the same thing. Can't wait to try them, they seem like a perfect little snack size!

That looks amazing and plants look healthy hopefully that choc bhut x fatalii grow true and I love the way the Galapagoense looks.

Nice pics. Following this... Can't wait to see all the pods you get this season.

 

[Spicegeist]

Clavo

Trinidad Scorpion Morouga

Not Galapagoense, I thought I'd give this a try:

"Stinger Bonnet"

Cumari do Para

Baccatums: Queen Laurie and Guyana

Capsicum chacoense

Butch T x Douglah F2

Murupi Amarela

 

[capsidadburn]

Beautiful Start SG! Very impressive. I'll keep watching.

Mike

 

[Spicegeist]

And these are the latest and the last I'll be germinating for 2012:

Trinidad Scorpion x Pimenta Morango

Pimenta da Neyde

Florida Wild

The rest of my plants are all in a different spot in the house, away from the grow light. I must have over 150 plants at this point.

 

[TheAmatureGreenThumb]

Loving all the pics. Wait till you have all those pods. So much heat in your future.

Nice pics and an awesome start! I'm feelin a Brain Strain hybrid coming out of that faster-growing plant!
