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:

They are going nuts...
 
Also out of my two violets the one is showing that incredible fasciation!!! I let her go and she went straight up on once side while the other galaxy spiral apical stem side stalled for a bit and then broke away from its spiral to branch out and is now following the other up to the stratosphere! Very cool plants man. Just wow.

That's great, Rich! Interesting how the fasciated
stem finally sorted itself out. The structure left
behind must be pretty gnarly.

Anyone know what would cause this? Its on other types too. Nutrient deficiency maybe? Or pests? All the new growth is skinny and weird.

Sorry i do not. I have read here somewhere that aphids can change and stunt growth. Fingers crossed for the better...

Some pretty light colored pods off the Purple plant. I'd show the plants, but after all day in the high 90's they look weak.

No herbicides in the air? My guess would be Calcium uptake, possibly related to a high PH. And it's a guess from looking at the pics...

Looking good! Mine got hit hard tooo especially the tomatoes.

Those are real beauties, Scott. I think the variety
of shades of violet from these plants is pretty cool.
 
How are the white ones doing?

 

[stettoman]

Being as Zone 3 is bringing up the rear, I thought I'd ask: is this normal for F8 Violet? My PDreadie & Arequipeño Rocoto are doing similar things...

The white plant is in full sun, and flowering, in the raised beds. I'm trying to figure out how to shade it; it really needs a break from the full sun. I have one unused shade cloth, but it's 20x40!
 

 

[PaulG]

You mean the 20x40 cloth is too big or too small?

Idk if one of the neigbors sprayed something, but it does seem different than what Trent L says the herbicide damage does. I will hunt down some cal mag and foliar feed. I didnt see any aphids, but I dont have a jeweler loop or whatever they are called. I will get some more pics, been super busy

Don't think that is aphid damage, it's usually more lumpy, and shriveled.
 
Here is a link to plant disease symptoms related to nutrients.

I know you're all going to reply saying "pictures", but...
 
My plant that is indoors has only set a couple of pods.  They look quite similar to ones I've seen pictured on here - sort of oval, smooth.
 
The outdoor plant had several flowers open, shrivel up a few days later but not drop off.  So I thought they were pollinated.  However, pods haven't really developed.  They just have this tiny, tiny thing (just a few mm) which has three lobes.  Weird stuff.
 
Yeah, I know, photos.

Fully ripe "purples", just a hint of getting soft. I'm amazed at the color changes.

I'm wondering if something drifted in. The soil I tested was at around 7, but I don't think that would cause this. My growdown plant looks super rough. That or the tap water really sucks this year.

A couple of nice phenotypes in there!
 
I'm amazed by the amount of white in the pods.
Most of my violet producers are darker.

If your weather was like ours in June and early July,
I can understand. My plants are only now really starting
to come out, and not all of them. We will def need a good
Fall season to save the grow this year!

I'm in the same boat.  This week should be a good boost.  Really hoping September comes through and extends the warm season for us.

Mine are dying now. And during the day the leaves look wet. Idk if its from the calcium shit I sprayed on them.

 

[Pepper-Guru]

Bhuter white is turning super white. Almost coyote Zan white like. Perhaps a tinge of butter cream. Stays in that lime green phase for a while after violet, then go straight to white. Pics incoming tomorrow.

Idk if my ph is messed up, or if one of the neighbors sprayed something. But maybe I will have better luck next year

Your SLCR is doing this too right? Sounds like something drifted and got ya.
