@Tim yeah it's great to see all these pics I am hoping to see more non traditional peppers and the pods. Those Ghost are mean looking! Tasty in a sauce!

Mark

Bill

I can't bring myself to pull them up though, so I will probably let them get a little bigger too hah.

Well Bill, I believe this is a Picante Calabrese lol.

Tim

You should have said "I believe this was a Picante Calabrese" LOL

Hornworms are evil!

That's a classic picture of what Bhut/Bih (Ghost) peppers look like. Very nice Sir.

Out of fresh (if you want to call them that) habaneros from a local grocery store. Had to go buy a better light faster than I wanted to because of how quickly these little guys came up and grew.

interesting detail, i don't water them from above any more (it's easier to just pour into the plastic plates they're in than aim for the tiny cups without floating the seedlings) i pushed wicks through the bottom of the cups, and interestingly enough they soak up water really quick. i was under the impression that such a gritty mix would have trouble wicking, but what do you know, nice surprise.

how hard is it to get the plants out of the cups and into bigger pots?

what all are you growing?

CFLs are smaller and fit in a standard light socket (they have the ballast built into the bulb's base) .

Bag 1 has Bhut, 7pot, Trinidad Scorpion, and Douglah.

Bag 2 and 3 has Chocolate Habanero, yellow Fatalii, Cayanne, Peppadew, and Jalapeno.

Mark

Would you say you prefer a powder over flakes? I've been trying to decide whether or not to get a coffee grinder or not but that looks so good! lol

Amos

tsheets just put it on melted turkey bacon n cheeae sandwich :-)

I will put it on all my sandwiches, soup, and Asian style foods. As well as anything else I can throw it on.

Mark

Mark

are other peppers on that plant showing the same "Spikey" characteristics ?

Plus I have a few tomatoe plants in my little germination dome, some more peas, cherry tomatoes, Trinidad Scorpion and Yellow Fatalii (sp?)

I can already see the spots where the pods will form on the largest Cayenne. I think it needs to be transplanted already it's in a 3 Gal pot. I might move it into one of the buckets that Im using as a stand.

Well I put out about half of my babies outside today for about 20 minutes per tray. Put in the shade, very very mild breeze and about 69-70 degrees.

Tray 1

Very nice, can't wait until I can put mine outside. In tray 1 pic above the three on the right what variety are those? The leaves are very dark green.

Mark

Thanks. The three on the left are Red Bhut's. The three on the right are top to bottom:
Red Savina
Trinidad Scorpion Butch T
Yellow Fatali

Bill

Tray 1 was planted mostly on 12 January. Tray 2 was planted 25 Jan.

Bill

I can see a few chinense and from what I can tell, a few annuum in the mix. What do you have going there? They look great.

Nice start.

Thanks for all the help and great advice to get a first year grower to this stage!!!!

Bill

and these 4 too :D not transplanted since they sprouted, they are in a shallow 200g cottage cheese container.
i am intentionally keeping these root bound for a nother week or so, sh*tty weather coming this weekend, snow and other yuck... they don't seem to mind.

@Bill_Missy, your plants are looking wonderful, too. Nice deep green leaves on 'em.

Here's the last shot of mine. Right after I watered most of them for the first time in 7 days. I let them dry out until the leaves get a tad droopy, they seem to respond well to it.

I sowed some tomatoes yesterday, hopefully we'll have some sun for when they sprout, so I can put them under light while some of the chillies are on the windowsill. Who knew growing stuff involved this much work, eh? :)

Bill

I'm glad they are small as we've just received a good 2-3 feet of snow in the last two weeks. It's going to take a bit to melt as we had a decent amount already. I've procrastinated started my tomatoes and now unsure if I should wait another week. I'm thinking tomorrow is best though.

I started these Jan 12th the same as the ones pictured at the top of this thread. They are Bhut, Stinging Bhut, White Habanero.

Mark

I got my white Hab seeds from another forum member and I will update on what I think of them.

Small harvest of yellow scoprs, choc habs, tiny 7 pot browns and some nagas, and inmature barrackpores

Here is an update of my plants, top three from left to right Ghost, Stinging Ghost, White Hab. Bottom two White Hab, Ghost. Not pictured my tiny Black Pearl.

One of my white habs had flower buds forming.

Those habaneros I started on Feb. 4th

And if ya'll haven't watched Jaime's update videos, you should. He has tons of mature pepper plants, some leafing out, some recovering, some fruiting already.

Here are my overwintered plants...Black Pearl and Manzano. They sure handled the Winter well.

Thanks Josh. Those are nice looking over winters, it's a good feeling to get a jump on the season. I tried once they made it through the winter just to die in the spring. Though I did not trim the roots or repot or harden off. I may give it a go after this season.

Waited a bit long before repotting these two today.

Mark

Josh

I have looked at some of my plants and they are like yours, root bound. Do you do anything to them before transplanting? i.e. cut the ball a little, pull the roots ways, Squeeze the root ball, etc?

Bill

Here is the other one from a distance so you can see the plant to pot/root ball size as you can see I waited a bit longer than I should have. The leaves are slightly yellower than the ones repotted weeks ago. But they will bounce back in a few days.

My orange habaneros have lots of growth on the lower parts of the plants as well. My other variety of habaneros don't just yet. The one or two habs I have in hydroponics looks like a jungle at the bottom lol. I'll upload a pic here in a few.

Hydroponic Habanero up top, and on the bottom here, is what the rest of mine look like:

and this is after

i fully expect them to keep their growth rate and reach at least 10 meters tall in this pot :))

Here is a pic of my current plants no additional ferts as of yet just what's in the soil with added bone meal for future use.
