Shurb's 2014 GLOG

Well, I guess I'll get started seeing as I've now got my first hooks well before season start.
 
So, I got me one of them heated propagator thingimadoobawackies and popped in 3 Habanero Orange seeds and 3 Whippets Tails for a test.
The Hab's decided to work it out. No go on the Whippets, but I think that's because it dried out at one point. Oh well, one pod has thousands of seeds, so all good
 
Here's the Habanero Orange hooks in soil next to an avocado the missus is trying to get started.
 

 
And here they are. Ain't they cute?
 

 
Here's the indoor setup
 
Top: Them ones I did dun just showed you.
Middle: Pubes - Red Rocoto, Yellow Rocoto, Rocoto San Isidro, Canario, Mini Rocoto.
Bottom: Habanero Chocolate overwinter. It got a little bit of the stuntie during the season, and it only gave me one good pod, but I decided to let it recover inside and it's going well!
 

 
Habanero Chocolate (I'll get a better pic soon, I promise!)
It's got buds forming too, which is cool.
 

 
This is what I'm REALLY looking forward to.
Rocoto San Isidro
 

 
Yellow Rocoto - with yellowing leaves to boot =\ Gotta get it some food methinks.
 

 
Red Rocoto - Bet you couldn't tell from the label, huh!
 

 
Canario - State the obvious, Shurb!
 

 
Outdoor overwinters. That Bell is the only pod to produce and it's still growing. We'll see if I get a ripe red one...
 

 
That's all for plant porn for now. In the coming weeks, I'll be getting some new one's started, care of this little package from JungleRain.
(Bottom right is Manzano Orange)
 

 
Thanks for stopping by

Awesome Shurb, almost seems like your season never ended lol.

 

[Shurbryn]

Yeah, pretty much hahaha. It's only just started to get really cold here, and for some reason, the outdoor o/w's are still going fine lol
I think it's the neglect I'm giving them now. All my attention is on the indoors hahaha

 

[Pepperjack91]

Keep me updated on the state of your avocado once it goes into soil. Mine keep dying at that point and I don't know why.

 

[magicpepper]

looking good. im half way through my season and all ready want to start planting some more lol

 

[gasificada]

Shurb, got a few pubes growing there, mate?
 
I've had an avo seed sitting in water for months now... I don't know whether to give up on the damn thing or not. To be honest, I don't even know why I'm trying to start it. It's a Hass, I think. I mean, not bad. One of my favourites, in fact, but what I really want is a Sir Prize tree. Best avos. Ever! What type you trying to get going there?
 
Good luck, mate, especially looking forward to seeing more of them pubes of yours!

Haha yes, I'm looking forward to watching them spread out and bloom
 
Yeah this one has been in for a couple of months now. I think it's a Hass also. It's the wifey's responsibility that one.
 
Haha cheers bro, I'll make sure to take lots of photos of my pubes for all to see!

Got a care package from Micca today. Said he was going to send some seeds for Jay's Peach Ghost Scorpion.
Well, I opened it up all excited for just those seeds...
 

 
Imagine my surprise when that's what I saw. Super happy to see the 7pod/pot Brain Strain seeds in there as Junglerain was out of stock when I did my order.
And having Reaper seeds is awesome too. I just don't know what and where I'm going to grow now...
 
Oh well, we'll see what happens.
 
Thanks again Micca!

Update!
 
2 of 4 Brazilian Starfish seeds have germinated!
My first C. baccatums
 
Orange Hab's

 
Rocoto San Isidro

 
2 x Rocoto San Isidro, Canario, and Red Rocoto and 2x Yellow Rocoto at the back.

 
My troublesome Choc Hab that I'm overwintering indoors has this weird crinkled growth, but it's got lots of new growth and it's putting out buds.

 
That's it for now. Still waiting on 7pot Primo, 7pot Brainstrain, Bahamian Goat Pepper, Pimenta de Neyde and Jay's Peach Ghost Scorpion to show signs of germination.

 

[filmost]

Ooooh C. Baccatum is one I need to grow out. Everything looking great Shurb! Hopefully that Chocolate Hab sorts itself out.

 

[Shurbryn]

Yeah me too man. It's a toughie though, so I have high hopes for it once I re-pot after the move.

 

[Shurbryn]

Hello there baby Brazilian Starfish
 

 
I noticed 2 or 3 of the C. pubescens varieties have started to pop out some shoots down a bit lower. Don't know if they'll continue to push out, but nice to see they're still active.

Sounds like you're gonna end up with a bushy bunch of pubes....

Hahahahah yeah well it would be better just to let them grow eu natural. No point in trimming them down, as there's no tree to be made to look larger.

Looking good, mate.
 
Keep'em snugly warm from the toxic cold Canberra winters.

Thanks Nuke. Yeah, they've got their very own heater lol

 

[Shurbryn]

Update!
 
Triple coty Brazilian Starfish
 

 
Orange Hab's going well
 

 
This Rocoto San Isidro is a monster. It's loving the conditions it is in.
 

 
Same with this Canario
 

 
Mini Rocoto
 

 
O/W Choc Hab is going well
 

 
Still a bit bumpy in areas, but some new growth is looking better
 

 
I also have 2 Pimenta de Neyde's and 2 Bahamian Goat Pepper's starting to root
 
Now, if only the superhots would start for me too

Looking good Shurb! The San isidro especially looks great.
