Don't feel like the lone ranger for some varieties not popping. I'm on my second round for about 15 varieties; this is their last chance. Or it will be too late for them to do anything

Hey Scott, I'm happy the Isabela/Galapagos Island Hab sprouted for you. Good luck with the rest.

I only sewed 5 new chinenses today: No mas.

On Dec. 14, I sewed the chinense seeds, and today, roots are coming out the bottoms of the Solo cups in about 12 plants. They all look like these two examples below. Good root growth for barely over 1 month. And, all were top watered! Frankly, I think the arguments claiming bottom watering to be superior, are based on assertions that are mostly dubious.

Looking good there Jim! Here's a couple of pics I took this morning.

The Orange BHuts and Red Fatalii are growing like crazy.

Roguejim · Jan 20, 2015

What date did you plant your seeds? Have you checked their roots, yet?

organic pepper · Jan 20, 2015

Planted on 12/13/14 They started hooking on 12/20/14. They are at a month at the moment. I have not looked at roots since I transplanted from the sponges I started them in to the 6" pots. I let the roots do their own thing. The less I disturb them the better. Getting ready to folar spray them this week with some Biomin Calcium Soluble Powder. That should really boost the growth. They are avg between 4" and 6" in height. Stems are at .25 Have fans running at Hurricane force (high) to strengthen the stems even more so. They like getting water about every 8 to 9 days at the moment. I 'll have to get me a soil thermometer to check soil temps. They seem to be loving the heating mats they are on. Currently running temps at 74 with humidity at around 34. Ambient Temps is constant with just heating mats.

Have you used the Biomin before? I'm one of the foliar spray naysayers.

You're running the 600 watt HPS, right?

organic pepper · Jan 20, 2015

Biomin I have not used before but is what I'm using as a substitute for calcium 25. I've used calcium 25 in the past with great results but its pricing is thru the roof! I have not put them under the 600's yet. Still running them under my 2 cheap walmarl shop lights. All my 600's had to have new bulbs. The 600 bulbs are expensive. Ordered 2 and they came in broken which really sucked! Waiting to get the refund so I can purchase them locally which is about another 50 bucks more. By next week I'll have them running one way or another. When I get ready to spray I'll do a side by side with 2 of plants and post pics of before and after of sprayed and unsprayed.

We're ready for weedguard! Graded the whole area yesterday, may run a vibraplate over it to even it out a bit. Running a bit behind on irrigation, but once irrigation and weedguard are in, we'll be picking up a yard and a half of North County Bounty. Seeds will be started in about 2-4 weeks.

organic pepper · Jan 22, 2015

Is that area going to be your pepper area? That would be totally awesome!

chachie09 · Jan 22, 2015

It will be split in half. The side closest to the camera will have 5 rows of 6 pots, 2 rows of hot/super hot, 2 rows of sweet/bell, and one row of tomato. Here is my current layout:

The starts this year are really taking off. Cant believe they are around 33 days.
Used my hand for ref..

Wow, those are freaks! i'm going to have to go back and look at your fert regimen.

EDIT: Okay, I went back a page to discover you're not fertilizing at all yet! Have you even used any EWCs? Freakish growth!"

LowDrag · Jan 22, 2015

I guess I am behind on starting my peppers this year. I ordered some seeds from John Ford's Fiery Foods last weekend and have not heard a word from them yet so I emailed them tonight asking about shipping information. I am keeping my pepper growing way shorter than anyone elses on here this year.

My current list:

Carolina Reapers (I have friends that like really hot peppers)
Scorpion Kraken
Aji Banana
Habanero's for salsa/pico
Jalapeno's for pickling

I wanted this pepper but they were out of stock:

Pimente de Neyde x Bhut Jolokia f6
Description:

Pimente De Neyde x Bhut Jolokia is a f6 Hybrid and is almost stable. This plant is amazing and beautiful to grow, leafs are green and purple, pods ripen from black, dark purple and then finally ripening to pink-ish light purple. Not Extremely hot but has hints of the Bhut jolokia aroma and flavor and tones of the Pimente De Neyde.

This pepper just sounds good to me.

Can anyone list where they order their seeds from? I would be interested in finding some new sources.

Roguejim · Jan 22, 2015

That bhut-cross is called a Pimenta Leopard, and, I have one started. I will give out seeds at the end of the season.

As for seed vendors, pepperlover.com is reliable, and a member here at THP. For all things related to Mexican chiles, midwestchileheads.com is the one I buy from, and, John is also a member here.

F6.... Wow! Sure would like to see how them babies come out. Pepperlovers has solid stock. I have been ordering though out the globe depending on variety and such. As Jim mentioned, Midwestchilieheads are another great source. That's where I'm getting my ornamental's from. Mojo peppers was prompt on service ordering thru him. Have yet to plant his stock though. That will happen next month. The hippy seed company I'm still awaiting thier order. That was one of the first one to go out but I'm looking at that as an iffy.. Its been a month and so far every thing else I have ordered from aus.. has come in. I kinda went world wide just to see what was on the up and up... Hey Jim, can you keep us posted on that Pimenta Lepard. That sound just awesome!

Hey Jim, I have not done anything to them yet. I was thinking about doing something but just waiting for them to let me know when and what they want or need. I'm thinking it's the new planting medium I'm using. I still got them under the same cheap walmart lights using 4200K bulbs. Stem size has increased from .25 to .375 in the last couple of days. I'll just have to keep an eye on them for the time being. Cheers Pal!
