U)<now's 2016/2017 Indoor/Outdoor Glog

Hey guys,
 
     I figured I'd start a late season Glog for my indoor (possibly outdoor for a couple months) grow since I didn't start anything this past spring. I posted some stuff in the Growing sub a couple weeks ago when I ordered all my seeds for my 2017 grow, but I wanted to start a few now to overwinter for a winter project as well as a head start for 2017. Currently I have a setup for 5 4ft T8 twin tube fixtures (10 bulbs) with 6500K bulbs right now as I don't normally overwinter plants so I haven't needed anything stronger yet... I only keep 4 fixtures on it for seedlings. I may upgrade to a Quantum Badboy 8 bulb T5HO, or a DIY COB LED setup, not decided yet, I need to do more research on the LED. I have followed a few DIY builds on here and people here seem to have good luck with their DIY COB LED setups and I have seen people growing to pods with both indoors. I don't want to deal with the cost or heat of MH or HPS. I guess the good thing about LED is they don't normally degrade or have to be replaced seasonally like T8 or T5 bulbs.
 
I only have room to start about 300 plants in the spring, The most I have started in years past was 288, so my list wont get much bigger for 2017, but here is my 2017 grow list so far. I normally start about 10 or so of each plant and give some away to my family members with gardens, Keeping only 2 or 3 of each variety for myself. I have all these seeds in hand right now, with the exception of a couple.

Some ripe pod pics, plants are recovering from my mishap and getting huge!


Garden Pic...

BTR... (Smallish pods)

CPR... posted in CPR thread also, wrong pheno and color, but came from Butch and I'm too OCD to mix anything up.

Orange Fatali...

7 pod Barrackpore... (Small pod)

Aji Pineapple...

Fildaga Preto... These went from purple to green to orange, supposed to be red, we'll see what happens

Cayenne...

Forgot to snap pics of the Blue Christmas, but they are looking awesome and very colorful. Ill upload some this weekend.

That's all for now!

Always good to see the humble and less glamorous Cayenne .

Blue Christmas update...

 

[MikeUSMC]

Gorgeous Blue Christmas plant, Troy! I'm gonna have to put that on my list for next season!

Quick update with some more ripening pics. Wish I had my Samsung S7 still for pics, that died so I swapped to an LG G6 for a few weeks and now I'm on the new Moto Z2 Force. Not a bad phone, pics are decent. I'll swap to a Samsung S8 soon though.


My one and only Bhut pod so far, and it's on my backup plant. My main Bhut plant was one of the ones topped by deer earlier in the season, so it's still growing back, bushy, but no pods from that one yet...

BTR...

CPR's ended up going a very bright red. I'm digging it...

Mutant Hab, forgot to update on this one recently. It's still growing, but it won't set pods, the stamen and flowers are all jacked up. It must have close to 800 buds on it if I had to guess, and it's not much bigger than a basket ball...

My back up Purple Naga Viper putting out some pods now. Main one was topped by deer, it's super bushy now, but no pods yet..

Main Purple Naga Viper putting out tons of buds like this...

Brainstrain 7 Pot ripening...

Orange Fatali are now orange...

Those early Reaper Pods...

CP115 now ripening...

7 Pod Brown...

Fildaga Preto still orange, no red yet...

T.S. Moruga Scorp that's been forked since birth, so slow to grow...

And these little guys have been all around lately, I posted in the growing sub too. So far they look like ladybug larvae...

My first actual harvest this season. Going to dehydrate some and make some salsa with the others. Some of these, like the BTR are early pods so not quite the desired pheno, but new pods that are setting are spot on.

Hey all, sorry for the lack of updates. I was traveling alot in August and September for work. My season is pretty much done here. Supposed to get down to 36f tonight. Probably have bout 10 days or so left.

It's been an awesome season though. Another good learning experience. Unfortunately now that my season is done, my plants are of course loaded with pods. Didn't get as many pods as I had hoped, but I did get a bunch of seeds for next season.

Oh, and a friend that had some of my plants got one with a CPR that grew true, so I snagged that plant back from them and it had one ripe pod on it, and I'll try to overwinter the plant also.

Nice colorful harvest. Thanks for the updat.

Turns out we had a frost warning for last night, so I moved everything in pots into the garage last night.

My largest plant was was a BTR at 54" tall and over 60" wide at it's widest point.

My Fildaga Preto that was topped by deer in late May also came back with vengeance and was nearly the same size.

I didn't get a pic of all of them, but between the crap left over from moving still in the garage and now the plants, the garage is full, lol

Edit: those large green Monrovia pots are 12" T x 15" W

Mutant Hab is still alive also. About 16" tall from the soil line. About the same at it's widest point. It did finally start producing pods, but man are they messed up, lol.

Most are the shape of a Butch T Scorp, some have second pods coming off of them near the stem also.

One even has a leaf coming out of the tip of the pod... Super weird.

strange looking little pods. Thanks for sharing

 

[Diafond]

What is that coming out the bottom? An alien with tentacles?
 
That plant is weird, weird, weird, and extremely interesting.

Lol, they have way more stamen than normal as well as multiple pistil's. I didn't think it would ever produce pods, but nature finds a way I guess.

That last one has one of it's skinny leaves growing out of the tip of the pod, it's super weird...

I wish I had a good camera with macro lense to get some better shots of the flowers and pods.

I bought 30 3 gallon (2.2 actual gallon) nursery pots that arrived today to downsize my keepers for the winter. $11 something per ten pack, $36 shipped from Amazon, they are a Prime member only special. Normal price is $25 I think for $10.

Almost done with downsizing pots and cutting back. I've never tried to overwinter this many plants before, lol. It's a alot of work...

Hopefully they survive, if not, I have plenty of seeds. Although, all my isolated pods and flowers dropped with the leaf burn and drop session I had after my mistake of spraying for aphids during the hot mid day sun... Won't ever do that again. Set me back big-time this season. My plants came back bigger and better, but it was pretty late in the season. So all the seeds I have except my Blue Christmas, are non-isolated. Which is part of why I want to try and overwinter these plants.

Also taking some clones to try and root and give away.

Since these plants have been in and out the garage for a week or so now to protect from frost, the aphids are coming back big time. I'm going to spray them down good a couple times before I bring them inside for the winter.

Here's a few pics...

Thanks for stopping by!

Hey guys, I made some hot sauce for the first time. I made a mash following Khang Starr's directions on YouTube and let it ferment for 7 days, then added a small amount of Apple cider vinegar, did the final blending. It turned out well for my first try. A bit strong on the garlic, even though I didn't use as much as he did, but I still like it. Next I'd like to make a sweeter sauce with a milder heat.

I also made some spicy vodka for Bloody Mary's. Should be awesome!
