Not too far off!

Hello All, if your trip overlaps into March 17-19, Horti Asia 2015 will be on

in BKK, coir, chem's and GH's all in one spot.

Hello All, started to feed some of the plants 1/2 strength nutes with Scoop1's formula and

working fast as I can to get the bags filled for transplanting. New coir being treated for the

toms in the bags against the gate.

Plants from the last 3 full moons.

Some of the toms enjoying a shower.

Game called by rain. PS still pissing here in Korat 2:30 AM

Hello All, to give some the idea of what it co$ts to setup a run-to-waste for

tom/egg/chile minus the seed,and still figuring on the nutes, what you see in

the picture ran about Bt.1,500. Most of this coir is about to start it's third

season. Poly bags are Bt.50@Kg.

Work was halted by PT appointment at the RTA Hospital, as we were leaving

it started to piss sideways and raining hard in downtown Korat.

More bags to fill tomorrow.

Good work Rice

[rice555]

Time to arange the bags and transplant if it doesn't rain more.

Hello All, and some of my afternoon work.

rice555

[rice555]

Hello All, half the bags planted and 2/3 of the work to come.

Anchos and Anaheim, next, toms and serranos and drip system.

rice555

[rice555]

Hello All, things are progressing, hopefully through the weekend and

the start of next week I can get the bags moved into place and run my

drip irrigation and start to get wires up for the vine clips.

The last pic is very young Carolina Reapers.

[Fapington]

Good work buddy! Can you eat one of those Carolina Reapers? I physically could, but not sure I would, as the follow up pain might be more than I care to bare. I hear that peppers over 1M scoville units actually give you a short "high" as your body releases endorphines to counter the heat.

There was a hot sauce called "Endorphin Rush", yes you can feel light headed and and try to catch your breath.

How's your project going?? No new U-Tube??

[Fapington]

I feel really bad for not updating on Youtube. I've been working 12 hour days, so much to do, and I'm working alone.

I've got all buckets online, 150 of them with tomatoes in. The other 50 will be filled within 2 weeks, just waiting for them to get to transplant size.

The seabass are stocked, been babying them along, will have to grade soon as they are eating each other. lol

So much to be done, so little time....you know the drill.

Hello All, off to get some 8-L/H PC drippers tomorrow, have the single and quad spaghetti-W-drip stake

ready, 500L tank and a pump.

Now to look at irrigation timers O/L, one to run programs for hydro and dirt.

Scoop1, your formula is working great.

One of my Reapers seams to have not made it through transplanting.

rice555

[Scoop1]

Hello all. that's good to hear Rice, my Butch T Trinidad and Morugar Scorpions are starting to look very good after the winter chill, { pardon the pun } Fapington's had a few minor issues will "settling out" but we will sort it out soon, I don't think it is affecting his growth rates though.

Cheers

Hello All, we've been having some WET weather on and off the past 10 days or so

and has gave me an excuse to not work hard so thing are behind a little.

The chilies seem to need a little more N, but are doing very good, except the rain.

Lot of blossom after heavy rain, but the plants need to be taller.

Looking for a irrigation controller that I can tweak the schedule on the computer

instead of buttons on the controller.

Anyways, trying to catch up as usual.

[Scoop1]

Hi All. don't look like there is too much wrong with those chilli's Rice

Cheers

[rice555]

Hello All, update on the chiles, all seams to working out with Scoop1's nutes and

time to starting add the potassium sulphate to the mix.

New tool for doing nutes, can weigh my cal nitrate out in one shot, this is right out

of the box, not leveled or calibrated, 2000 X .01, wall wort and 2- 500gr cal weights

and directions in Chinese. FedX'ed from HK, had to pay Bt. 150. for duty.

rice555

[rice555]

Hello All, first transplanting of chilies and started to get the new coir for the toms ready,

running late yesterday and didn't get my toms transplanted, had a big thunder storm and

light show early last night with a few drops, then it started to rain for a few hours. Power

got zapped and off for 3 hours.

But over all, from checking today, not many blossom were knocked off or plants broken.

Some pic's of what's going on.

[Fapington]

Fantastic looking plants Rice. Well done!

[rice555]

Hello All, starting to get my first serrano's to the table,

and anchos are coming along. I didn't notice the hole in

the ancho till I was resizing the pic. One less rellno, fork!!

Scoop1, the nutes are working fine, I just need to get

my irrigation timing worked out.

rice555

[rice555]

Hello All, Scoop1, very happy with your formula!

Got my digital timer, so now the plants will get fead on time which is part of the reason

that the fruit lack uniformity, which is lacking. Have less plants than last year, but the output

is larger than last year growing the same verities.

rice555

[Fapington]

Looking good Rice!

[rice555]

Hello All, thanks Fapington, I saw your last U-Tube on your tom's, very impressive!

The plants have grown a bit, and am starting to get better production. The few days

of rain last week here zapped a few anchos and anaheims.

Here are some of the chilies now, and the Carolina Reapers are slowly coming a long,

a few went tits up.

Are you growing any tomatoes this year Rice? Or have you gone 100% peppers!!?!?

[rice555]

I just transplanted what I had yesterday, over a month when they should have

been, but thats another story. I still have to shuffle plants around so the Ind.tom

have a place to grow.

I bought and treated more coir and will be filling bags, have more chilies to

transplant.

One of the Anaheim's I'm growing I only knew as Anaheim 118 Hyb., I found

the seed breeder and have been drooling over another one of their Anaheim's

for several years and could only find at a Co. that only sells E. of the Mississippi

and I'm W. Coast address, and they didn't answer my @'s, will call this time, there

in CA, but here's the plant from their add(growing in CA dirt and weather).

Hello All, Happy Holidays to All!

Still plodding along, one forwards, two back. Some pic's of what's going on and some

plant changes, Anaheim's are coming out and more ancho's being transplanted over the

next few days.

Anaheim's are less weight to the anchos, most of the pics are the past 2 days. The ancho

in the pic is a cull, went to the wife's chili-fish shit sauce. Culling to get more fruit set and

better fruit'$.

Serranos are doing great, the plants pictured have been picked twice in the last 10 days.

The last 2 pic are the Carolina Reapers that are really growing, love to look at them.

rice555

Serrano, last pic.

[rice555]

Hello All, anaheim's are out, starting ancho transplanting.

More chilis from the plants I took out.

Anaheim's size in relation to last years P's, or as my favorite radio station slogan

"Thin is in, but fat's where it's at"(KFAT, now KPIG).

rice555

[rice555]

Hello All, more pic's, the seed used in the pics is from 2013, one of todays pic's is 2014 seed,

and they are the ones I just transplanted, so it will be two months before I know how they worked.

Anchos and serrano's, the anchos are slowly coming along. On the other hand, the serrano's are

going ape shit. About ready to do the 4th picking, have never had the fruit set before like this!!

Must be Scoop1's nutes.

Sorry about the pic quality, it's my phone.

Hello All, the Carolina Reapers are starting to blossom.
