WHP 2018 Really Late Glog

Well, I am still alive somehow. This year has been most pressing on my time.  This is the first night in memory I have sat down before 10.  Figure I could start a crude glog, mostly pictures probably and not much writing.  Its been the busiest year ever for me, for everything in life really, from peppers to family to other projects and the real job.   I have tried to keep up on some media, but couldn't all.  I am hopeful with the tapatalk app I can update this easier.
 
Anyway the grow is smaller again than last year but still above 250 plants, but less than 300.  I have had a few loss and take a few out I lost interest in, so not sure the exact count.  Some are producing at rates I have no seen before, others just average.  I'll start with some more recent pics and work my way around, as I get time.
 
I hope to find a few minutes here and there to catch up with a few glogs and post once in a while now that I finally got this done.  Sorry to all those I have not been able to keep in contact with very much.
 
Still one of my all time favorites - and they are killing it again this year.  Peach Bhut WM from Wicked Mike originally.

Another favorite pepper - Congo Trinidad Giant Yellow - some really tasty big yellow meaty pods.

These are still an unknown.  I assume they have reaper or primo in their background.  This was a mislabel or plant mix up last year, so not even sure what it was supposed to be.  I called it WHP 006 one of the accidents and unknons.  This year they are growing about the same, some of the angriest looking pods I have.

Those beasts are cool. I'd like to see the white ones!
I will post some pics.  I need to get them on my phone so I can upload them.  My friend in Italy has superior phenos of all of them this year.

Yeah, probably.  I suspect it will be unstable as hell, but its really a cool pepper.  Better looks than taste for me though.  If you like that up front pure capsaicin taste and a bit bitter / floral might be just right.  They still at this point I think were the second hottest pods of the year only the jigsaw x moruga was hotter, at least to me.  I think what makes them maybe even seem hotter than they might have been was I just didn't like them too much.  Some co workers liked the taste a lot better than I did.

Great Zeus, those are gorgeous.  Are you going to offer a collection of the different phenos?
 
 
 
Someday I hope to.  All I have this year are a nice peach one, a smaller / smoother red one, and a nice mustard one more with stingers. All these phenos are really nice though and they taste outstanding, real clean taste, I have really like every one of them.   These pics are from a friend in Italy who is doing a lot more work on them than I am capable of.  He grew 900 plants of these this year.  With that many to choose from he has been able to select out some great phenos.  Not sure what all he feeds them, but I have seen a lot of his other peppers and they tend to be quite large and gnarly.  If you look at the picture where he is holding up 2 white ones, the green house and plants in the background are all these plants.  He grows commercially with thousands of plants in greenhouses and dedicated a greenhouse just to these.  
 
Please pass along my compliments to him.  He grows some amazing peppers.
 
Hmmm, how many pepper plants could I grow in a 20 x 20 greenhouse, and could I get a permit for it here.   Thoughts to think on.
 
Also, do keep us informed, please.

20 x 20 ?  I dunno, you could fit quite a few if you can keep them a reasonable size.

Yeah those look nice! I need to choose less varieties to grow next year, stop doing this to me!
I need to limit myself also and have no idea how I am going to come up with a list, all the new ones I have already and all the ones I want to grow out, just too many to choose from.
