Lookin' good brudda!!!

SocalChilehead · Feb 13, 2012

Thank guys. Glad to help I have seen positive results from the tea which I am enjoying, but all you need is either good compost or wormcasting pile, unsulphured molasses, and fish/seaweed your good to go. I was planning on making a worm bin later in the season to get fresh wormcasting and worm jizz, as fellow members refer to it. Shadowchilli grow log is currently expermenting with Nova worm jizz http://www.thehotpep...__1#entry558376

Well its been a while since my last update, but here it is I have transplanted the Holy Mole into a 5 gallon root pouch.
The soil mix is not my final mix just temporary consist of Fox Farm Ocean Forest, Vermiblend, and vermiculite and add some Mykos to the transplant.

This the Holy Mole into it new home

The plant in the back is a Trinidad Scorpion Green which I used as a temperature gauge and got a bit of a frost burn decided to leave him outside,since I have two more inside. I also scored at my local hydro with Botanicare products the gallon size for around $23-28 and 4 quarts $6 each since they ran out of the bloom gallon.

Once I get the 8 bales of peat moss and do my final transplant of everything I will update again
Thanks for watching all opinions and questions are welcome in this glogs

I'm always blown away by your plants, Fernando - you make
the most of the California sunshine. The greenhouse frame looks great,
can't wait to see the finished result.
Be sure to post photos of the 6x8 harbor freight greenhouse! I'll
be interested in how your experience compares to mine.

Awesome list, Fernando! The plants all look like they are doing
very well despite the little brush with the weather! You have
really got this thing down, man!

stc3248 · Apr 7, 2012

Looking great man! The weather is finally treating us right...I see a few 60's in our near future, but I can live with that! Great early pods you got there!

I prefer 60's over any rain or heavy wind thanks I saw your harvest I might start picking the cayenne early to and more it into a 10 gallon root pouch if I like the flavor otherwise I move it into a 5 gallon.

capsidadburn · Apr 7, 2012

SoCal, Really great looking progess you have going on. Very impressive effort! I got a few seeds from Orangehero last year. One was only called Douglah cross. To my surprise it ripened red! I will try to post a link to a pic.

Looking good Fernando. I've just tried Chilacas for the first time this year and fell in love again. Your Holy Mole just made me drool...

SocalChilehead · Apr 21, 2012

Thank you Rick I was able to harvest three, but before I could try them my grandmother washed and toasted them she just loved them I was hoping she would give me a description, but she could say was tasty and can not wait for more. I will be moving them into a 10 gallon root pouch sooner or later for her. So far between the Thai dragon and Cayenne Thick the Cayenne a winner in my book so far between what I have tried since it was sweeter with a nice spicy kick not over powering. The pictures are uploading in Photobucket so it might take some time.

This post might bump together, but everything is looking great still recovering somewhat but the stems have thicken up and producing new growth. The mystery seeds I was fortunate to get from Aji Joe have started to set flowers sorry I can not name them all but everything on my list is what you see there. I was unfortunate to lose 8 strawberry seedlings and Big Jim because because I went out for the week and my father forgot to water and they dried out the strange thing is that one strawberry, TS yellow, 7 pot Barracapore, 2 Not 7 pot red, morouga, 2 pimenta de neyde, & red rocoto survived the semi drought, but like I told him it was ready load list as is so he helpped control my numbers. Any questions or advice feel free to ask or comment. O and while I am here if anybody has 5 gallon root pouch willing to trade for 10 gallon root pouch please feel free to pm we can work something out. I just ran out of the 5 gallon and have to many 10 gallon the place I order from has not email me when they will restock, so I am stuck for the moment.
