Thailand Black Chilli. Smallest plant with a ripe pepper on it. Got the seed from Junglerain.
Picture of June 28th. The big plant in the background (Aji Escabeshe, seed from Smokemaster) is nearly 1.8 meters (5 foot 9) tall today (a week after the picture). It's my tallest plant and it has...
Rocoto flowers.
Champion (baccatum)
CAP 1144
Huge Pink Habanero
Cayennes in hydro. Harvested more than 60 cayennes from these 4 plants. Next year there will be more ebb systems :mouthonfire:
Seems I do have far less work picking off flowers once the rocoto's and manzano's were placed inside (had been suffering from hard winds coming from the wrong side of the balcony and continuous rains the past few days).
Did you try and save it? If you cut it off, is there new growth from that branch?
I have used the tape method with an orchid flower once and it worked pretty well. I did apply some growth hormone (cutting/rooting powder, but it is in fact a growth hormone) to the wound. But today my Aji...
Is it warm in the office? You might want to consider growing the rocoto outside... A few friends of mine have warned me about growing a rocoto indoors, in the greenhouse or even in a small budget poly greenhouse in our climate (UK, Netherlands, Germany and Belgium have pretty much the same...
I'm usually very peace loving, but I'm in a hostile mood today.
I'm starting to notice the first symptoms of trips and I'm having a battle with fungus gnats (=sciarid fly or black fly) in some pots. Some pots are really infested and I can see the white larvae who are - I can imagine - eating...
I would like that. :onfire:
BTW I keep seeds from all my plants. If I'm not happy with a variety doesn't mean no one else will be. That ... and I'm a seed whore or as I prefer to call it: I have a pepper variety acquisition disorder. ;)
I'm in! 2x Trinidad Scorpion Morouga Red
Seeds started February 8th. Dunno when they sprouted. Most of my chinenses sprouted in about 9 days, the TSMR took a few days longer than average. Don't care that much actually, as long as they germinate. :)
They're the tiniest seedlings I had apart...
Yes I did plant the fatalii's you sent me, but only recently. They couldn't have germinated yet. I also have traded fatalii's with Nate, so I'm going to compare which I like best and keep breeding from that one.
I couldn't controll myself once again and I have, besides the preatermissum of the previous post, also sown C. Lanceolatum, C. Rhomboideum, Tepin and Pequin. :D
88 plants of about 75 varieties.
8 varieties still germinating.
:shocked:
If I say it like that it sounds a bit much for a fist year. (I'm getting a bit worried about space in the apartment and the rather small balcony.) Hey you can't know what you like until you've tried them all, right?
