Walchit's Glog 2018

Well started germination yesterday, got a little carried away.

I'm too lazy to type out my list for you guys so here are some pics.

Sprouting these from Justin/whitehotpeppers



And these from the auction of labeled pods from Garth/texashotpeppers



Then there are these from trades and seed trains



I may have officially lost my mind! Thanks for stopping by.

I had these labeled as swamp thing yellow from Texas hot peppers. Either mixed up seeds or its crossed.

Scotch brains whp

Bet you can't guess how many cherry tomato plants I have...

Schwarzbeeren

Idk if they are doing any better than they would have just in the dirt. I should have caged the tomatoes. They have blight or something real bad. Need to spray this copper shit on them again

The ScotchBrains look fantastic. I should have grown some this year.
 
Next year for sure.

I need to check... I wasn't sure if they were supposed to have stingers or not. Either way its a wicked pod. Pm me if you want some seeds. They are op

There seems to be at least 2 phenos out there. One with the stinger, and a milder version that's closer to a Scotch Bonnet. I have both going in containers from 2 different sources. I'm guessing the bumpy stinger version is way hotter

My friends Chinese 5 color is going hard

He's been sun drying peppers whole too

I have this gnarly bishops hat pod

Scotch bonnet x bell

Mojo big mustard

Bbg apocalypse

This arseclown jolokia is more of a burgundy color. Probably save seed from this one.

[ShowMeDaSauce]

Hey Walchit.. I see your friend is sun drying his peppers whole pod. I tried doing that with my Bhuts and the result was them getting discolored.
I took the advice from the fellow pepper heads and made slits in them and now they are drying properly.
 
How did your friend get the whole peppers to dry without getting discolored?  Also, I like his setup to dry the peppers in Sun.

He bought that drying rack for 18 bucks off the internet. I will get the link from him.

And sai I was worried his wouldn't dry properly either but they did so Idk. Like I said I would be worried about mold or pepper maggots being in my pods, so I would cut them in half. But he wanted full pods.
You had yours on a cookie sheet right? Maybe it was getting hot and cooking them? We had been up in the 90's with low humidity, we will see if he has problems when the conditions aren't quite as ideal.

This one looks pretty good. I need to use someone's prime though I'm tired of paying 12.99 for "free" shipping

Big openings on this one

 

[ShowMeDaSauce]

Thanks, ordering one. Probably 2 actually to see which style i like better. The black one with zippers for each compartment and the blue one like your friend has. Black one looks way harder to load when dealing with HOT peppers.

 

[Walchit]

That last one I posted seemed like it had bigger openings. Check it out

I'm with ya on that, I like them halved. I try to stay away from eating larvae
 

 

[Walchit]

I've never had any pepper maggots... Knock on wood. But I do seem to get quit a bit of moldy pods on the chinense. Like 1 out of 20 maybe.

I've been noticing a lot of seeds with the black spot inside them on a couple Annuums. Anyone know what causes that?

My thoughts on the dark seeds are too much water. Bhut those are my thoughts
