thanks 915...

I was hoping to cut the same one back and make it a 3rd year plant so I can tell the difference in production years for myself...of course the others I cut back will be 2nd year next year :lol:
 
AJ your habanero is awesome. We're looking at overwintering as many peppers as possible but have zero experience so any help will be much appreciated. I see from looking at your habanero that the second year really produces.

Hi Pita....first off, welcome to the boards...

the Orange Hab is a second year plant....it only produced about 15 pods last year and I pulled it up, trimmed the top back to nothing but stubbs and grew it through the winter in a grow box kept at 86F constant...I harvested a little over 200 pods about 6 weeks ago and harvested 153 pods yesterday. It looks like I will still be able to harvest anothe 150-200 pods off this plant before cold weather sets in...it is still setting new fruit..

Picture of plant before picking on a different thread...
Here is a pic of the harvest....

Thanks for the welcome, and also the advice.

I went out and bought myself a cfl and bowl style reflector for the two habs in my hydro setup (it's ebb and flow, btw). It's the kind that is more in the orange/red spectrum so hopefully I get some flowering.

Now if only I can get them nice and bushy. My original one that is now in a large pot is bushing up like crazy!It's just starting to flower too; I'm excited!

Can't wait until I have this expression every day ---> :onfire:
 
I am sure you have been told about aphids...that is what I would try and stay on top of...if you get an infestation, they are really really hard to get rid of...
