Trippaul Threat (PdN x BMJ) Community Grow

This is a dedicated grow log for Tristen's awesome cross, which I
have been growing out since 2014.  I'll start with a bit of history and
some photos documenting what's happened so far.
 
In January of 2014, Tristen (Trippa) sent me a little care package of seeds.
In the package were two generations of a cross he had made, which he just 
called 'Mystery Cross, F1' and 'Mystery Cross, F2'.  
 
Here's Trippa's Mystery Cross seedlings in February of 2014:

 

 
Both generations showing the purple foliage characteristic since the beginning.
 
Up close look at Trippa's Mystery Crosses, F1 and F2.  Both culled to a single
plant after the photo taken, so I only had one plant of each generation:

I just planted a few seeds that Scott (Devv) sent to me. Don't yet know what generation. Will update when they hook.

Still purdy

One of each in the dirt. The other two will be in containers.

Hey, everybody - all those plants are looking great. The cell tower connection
in our apartment isnt great but it is at least a connection. Ill Check in again
when I'm in a place with a wi-fi connection. We have done a bit of traveling with
some friends from the USA but now we have more time for ourselves so I can
Check in more often.

Uploading pix with a 2G cell connection is iffy, but here goes. These are a
pickled pepperocini type of pepper. Very tasty.

I'll send some Segovia pix when I have a good wi-fi hook-up. In the meantime,
Keep those PDN crosses rockin. You folks are doing great,

Hi Paul, Those pickled peppers look great... please see if you can identify them.

I want to grow and pickle for next year.

You're not missing the weather here enjoy yourself.

Three Purples on the back left
 
Three Whites on the back right.
 
They have forked and developing buds......damn good genetics for size, colors, robust growth.

Plants look really great Dan!
 
I have a pod on one of the purples:
 

 
Note the hail damage, we were lucky it wasn't a real hail storm

Alright, a pod - Scottie is the vanguard of the PDN cross revolution!
Glad the hailstorm was minor - what doesnt kill them makes
them stronger!

Heres a taste of Segovia:

The Plaza Mayor. Cathedral and City Hall.

Hey, Dan. I asked a vendor, and he said they were piperonas.
I think thets The spelling. I suspect they are pepperocini or a
close relative. Your plants look great.

Those should be seeds from the F5 plants, so you are growing out F6.
Hope they do spectacularly well for you, my friend! I look forward to seeing
Your magic touch with them

 

[Bhuter]

Hey, Paul! And the everybody involved!

Wow, am I behind. I got a late start, but I should be ok. I had the intention of only growing the white version of this variety, but when it started growing and I saw the color and how great it grew, I had to start a purple. So I won't bother you with a pic of the purple, but here's the white version.

A fantastic cross that you've done terrific work with, Paul. Thank you for these.

Did some searching and found them...spelling is Piparras which refers to a type of pepper. Searching revealed the true name: guindilla peppers.

Now to look around for some seed. Thanks Paul

Found them on Amazon. Order placed. Hoping to get these in the ground for this yr.

Good work, Dan! Now I remember, guindillas was the name a person told me when we were in Spain 30 years ago. Go figure. Ill try to find some fresh ones and get some seeds. I also want to bring back some more Padron seeds. Ill look for some in some some seed vendors as well. They have massive red bell peppers as well, Ill get some seeds from one to bring back, too.

Here they are:

The one in the back right was a helmet-head until just before the photo. Probably would have grown out of it on its own, but I used a little dad spit on it.

I'll make the same offer I did in the PDSB thread. I want to keep two or three for myself, but will share the others for the price of postage for a SFRB. Once they're big enough to leave home.

Off to a great start, those look nice and healthy!
Rock on, brothah!

Beautiful shot Paul! Right now the world needs more of the Roman ingenuity reintroduced

Yes, amazing indeed. Built with no mortar almost 2000 years ago.
14,965 meters long, about 20,400 stones. Height maximum is
28.1 meters. 166 arches. Pretty impressive. The top water bearing
channel has been refurbished a number of times, and there is a stone
describing some repair work in the 1800s. It was still a functioning water
system in the early 1900s. The main original use was to supply water to the
Roman fortress which later became known as the Alcazar. Those Italians
really got around!
