Pieto de Moca



First Pod set at last, on a Chenzo (out of focus!!)


Greenhouse is full to the brim now.


Bubbler Tomatoes

I havent posted any photos in quite a while. Too busy fighting aphids. After spraying a few doses of pyrethrins, neem oil, and Vitax 2 in 1, I'm hoping I can get the better of them eventually. Got these in the post last week


Also saw some hoverfly in the greenhouse yesterday, so hope they can help out.

Have pods forming on several varieties.

CAP267 in a Hempy Bucket




Think this is CAP220. It has loads of these size pods on it.


Out of focus CARDI pods


Chenzo setting pods.


Nice purple-edged flowers too.



This plant, my only germinated Aji Limo, started growing in 3 directions directly from the Cotyledons. It was severely stunted for a long time. It seems to have pulled through.

 

[ronniedeb]

My ladybird larvae did their work for about a week or two. Aphids still pretty bad though.
You can see the extent of the infestation here


And some of my other helpers



Built an NFT.








Plants in: Carolina Reaper, Morouga Scorpion, CARDI Yellow

Sorry to here about the continual aphids. Hope you don't have numerous plants to deal with. Its been yrs since I had to deal with them. When I had them indoors I'd pour isopropyl alcohol in a bowl and either using a Q-Tip for between the nodes and branches  or nitrile gloved hand dipped for on and beneath the leaves, i'd smear the egg clusters and the crawlers. The alcohol dries fast and won't harm the beneficials, providing you don't swip it on them. 
Good luck with the battle......you can overcome them....

Thanks PIC 1. It will be a battle until the end of the season, I reckon. Might give the alcohol a try. Thanks for the tip!

Greenhouse is getting packed.


Tiny and Bigger Chimayo


Overwintered C01403 (Capsicum chacoense) is flowering. No pods last year. Hopefully get one or two this year.

Looking good.
 
Is everything in your green house hydroponic? What types of different systems are you using?

 

[ronniedeb]

Thanks Jeff H. Yes the greenhouse is all hydroponic. I have 12 plants in three Ebb and Flood systems. 3 plants in an NFT. 1 in Bubbler DWC. 2 in Passive Wick Pots, 1 in a hempy bucket, and also 4 tomato plants in Bubblers. Pretty packed greenhouse, since its only 8 foot x 6 foot.I also have some other chillis in soil in pots outdoors, and in a small lean to greenhouse.

 

[Jeff H]

That is cool. Good luck to you.
 
The hydro plants usually grow huge so it out to be interesting later this year. You might need a machete just to walk through.
 
This is my TSBT. Imagine 12 of these in your ebb and flow.
