Now that's what I'm taking about! The old leaf bra and panties! We could start our own biodegradable lingerie line!

Just put in an order for some hp22b's(Carolina Reaper) and Jays Peach Ghost Scorpions! I think I'm going to repot all my big plants and put them outside and do a couple of isolated plants indoors! Then I'll have suppers all winter and with all my overwinters next spring will be killer! Planning on gathering seeds and expanding my grow for the next year. Lol! This year hadn't even begun

Just got home and was checking things out and have some little naga morich's growing!

Tons of flowers I've pollinated

Cant wait to get out outside in a few weeks! She's already looking great with out some sun. Lol! Gonna upgrade to a sexy 5 gallon bucket and let her eat! Can't wait to post pics in the fall of her loaded with pods.

That is some serious plants Dude! Are you still thinking of using Wally Bags? What are you gonna use for potting soil?

Over in the "Grow Tech" section, I gave some basic instructions for an irrigation system.

It's hard to believe this is your first attempt at seed starting!

I'll have to look into that for sure! But yeah i was thinking about trying some wally bags and I'll prolly mix up soil for them myself. The neighbor and i are good friends and he owns an excavation company and has horses. He has a mound of shit a couple years old and said he had sand and good top soil i can have. He also said he will help me mix it all up just to save me time and money! I told him he could have some plants but he don't do the hot.

Decided to burn the garden and raised bed today! Made for a good time with the boys.

Even the baby helped pick up sticks from the last big storm we had.

The older two had a blast!

Fired it up and let her eat in the raised bed.

Then burned what was in the garden

I was checking out the turds under the rabbit cages too. Gonna have one healthy garden!

Almost forgot! I had a plant that i decided to top off and strip off the leaves just to see how it would do. I posted a pic in the last page and i thought I'd Throw in that its bounced back great!

Here's the before and after. 2 weeks to be exact

OZZZ · Apr 22, 2013

Nice log! You may loose a few if you cut them all down that far to overwinter ...although obviously that one bounced back well!

Usually recommended to leave a few branches and one node per branch. Of course looks like that plant of yours didn't read the rule book lol.

Thanks! They are doing super awesome. The plant there isn't an overwinterer tho. Its just one that i thought i writs play around with. It was planted this jan. I was reading about pruning and saw somewhere to basically devastate the plant. Lol... Thought I'd try it and its coming along just fine!

That little naga morich gets bigger every day. Boy i can't wait to eat this sucker. Lol

smileyguy697 · Apr 24, 2013

Got my seeds today from refining fire chiles and phill. What a joyous day. Lol... Can't start germinating tho because i have to move this weekend. I'm going to try and get the big plants outside and start some of these babys for inside. I said earlier that i was going to do a list of the ones i have going inside but think that ideas out of the question now. Prolly just do the reapers and jays peach ghost scorpions and keep them isolated for seed! Gonna spread some love on the thp! As if there's not enough already. Lol

StupidJerk · Apr 24, 2013

Incredible grow! Your plants look bigger and happier than mine that have been in the sun for a month!

I can believe how big some of those guys are. Be careful hardening off. I tend to lose most of my big leaves when I do, but a couple guys around here say that's normal. Not sure if the same applies to less sunny areas.

Were you safe from the flood? I have family around there and saw some pictures they posted. Pretty intense.

Thanks Carson! I've spent so much time and effort in them they better. Lol... Honestly i think it's that light tho. I was gonna go with t5s but figured why not go all out and get hid. I been thinking about grabbing a set of t5s tho and starting plants and see what does better. Don't know if i will but it's a interesting thought and experiment.

And yeah the flooding is insane. Wow! Lots of peoples homes were ruined! We were safe but live 5 blocks from the river right now. I haven't even taken any pics of the water but prolly should have. I've never seen it rain so much!

smileyguy697 · Apr 25, 2013

Hopefully all goes well. I've decided to try and harden off one off the plants today. I put it under the pine trees at my mothers this morning and hope the spot will stop enough uv rays so it doesn't get hurt. I don't have much time to move 70+ plants in and out of the sun. So i figured i lost the tag to this one so lets try it out. Out should get a little morning sun then the trees will block a lot of it while its overhead. It might get a little when the sun is going into the west but then out will be shaded again by the stack of firewood.

Here she is getting a glimmer of her first real light this morning. She's gonna be out there all day and night! God willing it does ok!

I think its a 7pot Jonah but not sure at this point

I made sure to use a little one not one of my big plants. Think it will be ok?

Devv · Apr 28, 2013

Wow, impressive growth!

Good job!

smileyguy697 · Apr 28, 2013

Been busy moving and haven't been able to do much with the plants until today.

Here's some that got moved today to the new apartment. They're way overdue to be planted. outside.

Here's the ones that still need moved.

Mixed up some soil today and potted up a couple 15 gallon pots

That's some compost that I've been working on and the white stuff is old rabbit shit.

Here's the mourga i potted up

I did a fatalli in another 15 gallon also. Then a naga morich and infinity in some old pots i had. They're prolly 3 gallon pots if i had to guess.

Dshlogg · Apr 28, 2013

Plants look great man! Your indoor plants are at pretty much maximum potential for the pore they're in. Nice to see someone let their plants fill out before transplanting. Keep up the good work. Your grow is awesome!

smileyguy697 · May 20, 2013

It's been quite some time since I've had time to get on here. I'm finally all some moving and have the peppers all potted up and in the garden I'm going out there in a bit to get some pics but here's what i have now. These were before i got hit with frost on mothers day. My plants took a hard hit but seen to be doing ok.

This was my Trinidad chocolate scorpion before the frost. Such a shame cause it looks like crap now.

Now for some pods! Here's that naga morich! She is loaded with pods now! Just need them to ripen up!

This one fell off when i was potting up so i ate it. Lol! This was a hot little bitch bit still tasted really green.

I'll get some shots of the rest of the garden and the frost damage to the others tonight. I've lost loads of leaves and flowers but new growth is popping out everywhere. Maybe it's a good thing to get some new branches going. Lol.. Also would that be considered stressing the plants? Cause i know there under a great deal of it. From what I've read stressing makes them hotter but Is that just for the pods at the time or the test of the plants growth?

smileyguy697 · Jun 19, 2013

I've been getting a few ripe naga morich for a few weeks now. Just haven't had much time to post any pics.

Naga morich

Here's one of my (not) tepins the plant has over a hundred pods on it and I've been eating these like crazy!

Now for some goodies! I haven't cut into this one yet cause i just picked it today! That and I'm kinda scared. Lol

Red brain strain

I also had a ripe antilles fire today. It was one of the smaller pods and i can't wait for the big ones to ripen

Here's a shot of that same pepper before it ripened. I'm still holding my breath at the big ones.

Finally the one I've been waiting for! Its a douglah x ts f4 that came from one of silver surfers pods.

Check out all that oil! Noms!

I'll cut into that brain strain tomorrow! Until then...
