Hey QueenAnkh
I'm growing plants both in the greenhouse and outside it in Yorkshire. The ones I put in the ground outside suffered due to low temps and are only just picking up now that things are getting warmer. I'm not hopeful for many pods from these.
In the greenhouse I had a mix of plants in the ground and some in pots. The ones in pots took off really fast but due to a lack of space were all moved outside except for one. Pics are below
13/05/2011 = Chilli's getting too big for the house
30/05/2011 = Greenhouse planted out (tomatoes down the left side, 2 cucumbers at the back, chilli's down the right), viewed from the right
14/06/2011 = The greenhouse plants settle in and start to grow.
In the ground there are 3 x Bih Jolokia on the left, 3 x 7 Pot Jonah centre left, 3 x Naga Morich centre right, 3 Scorpion Morouga on the right. In the pots there are 1 x Devils Tongue, 1 x Bhut Jolokia, 1 x 7 Pot Jonah, 1 x Orange Habanero, 1 x Trinidad Scorpion, 1 x Scorpion Morouga, & 1 x Naga Morich.
21/06/2011 = Big leaves developing on the 7 Pot in the pot
Ground plants still a little slow
27/06/2011 = The plants leave the greenhouse for the house (to get by some of the cooler nights)
15/07/2011 = The plants outside sheltered from the wind, growth slows relative to greenhouse plants
24/07/2011 = Greenhouse really ramping up, flowers not far off
01/08/2011 = Greenhouse plants flowering
The outdoor pots started in the greenhouse have also done really well as weather has been reasonable. They are flowering and have some small pods forming. Not got any current pics though.
Haven't shown any pics of the ones left outside the whole time as they aren't much bigger than the others when they first went into the greenhouse.
I use rain or fish tank water, depending when the fish need doing and whats in the rain tank. I mix in chilli focus and another fert made by the same people called forumlex. I mix in epsom salts and some hyroponic calcium now and again. Also mist with these once every 1 or 2 weeks.
I tend to water once every 2 to 3 days depending when I am around and how the weather has been. I personally don't buy into the wait until it wilts idea.
Apologies for the big post. I've intended to make a proper log for a while but been too busy. Hope it helps.
