Welcome on the forum and goodluck with the new season

You got some interesting Habanero varieties there.

Thanks everyone!

Yes, that is a lot, but i think that if i position them right i might fit them all on the balcony.

Happy Xmas to everyone!

PICTURES!!!

Hyper Pubes

C.Flexuosums

Manzano rojo and Turbo Pubes

I think it´s quite well considering that i started germinating one month ago.

Nice.........what are the containers you are using?

-JM- · Dec 25, 2011

They are 2,5 dl cream cartons. When the plants grow bigger, i´ll put them into one liter milk cartons. Recycling as it´s finest

Chinenses are germinating. I had to do some changes to my growlist. My current list for chinenses is:

- Clavo
- Pimenta Diomar
- Habanero Brown Large
- Habanero Sebaco
- 7 Pod Primo
- Fatalii White
- CGN 21500
- Hurrican

Impressive list, good luck with the growing. Those plants look extremely happy! :cool:

I like your idea on recycling :fireball:

S.S.Tupperware · Jan 2, 2012

Nice Hurrican? What is it or just a different name from what I'm familiar with?

I got the Hurrican from 2gods. You should ask him what kind of pepper it is. I don´t really know much about it. He told me it´s originally from Pepper-King.

Wow looks great I am really interested in that Pimenta Diomar have you grow those before or first year going to have to look for those.

Datil · Jan 3, 2012

Great list and funny containers

Nice to see another balcony grower!
What size you plan to use for final pots on the balcony?

Good luck!

I´m very interested in it too, and it´s my first year growing it. The guy i got the seeds describes the variety like this (direct quote):

Very fine taste with a little above medium pungency.

It´s a bit hard to explain but I consider this one to be a little higher class chinense just because of it`s taste.
Simply very good!

I expect a lot from this!

Thank you!

Most of them will go in a 10 liter buckets, and some goes in about 4 liter buckets.

It´s picture time!

My C.Flexuosums are doing great.

Turbo Pubes. The left one got a little too close to my lamps and burned its leaves a bit.

Hyper Pubes.

My only Manzano Rojo.

And this is what my setup looks like at the moment.

Also Clavo, Pimenta Diomar and Habanero Sebaco has germinated!

Looks good!!!

-JM- · Jan 9, 2012

damn, DaMn, DAMN!!!

I hope i´ll get rid of the pests i noticed...

Hawkeye · Jan 9, 2012

It depends on the pest,but you might want to spray now with an oil based soap.About 5-6 drops per litre works for me.It might be heavy on the soap,but I follow with a clean water rinse.I don't know about in Finland,but over here anything not oil based I think is labeled detergent,oil based is labeled soap.I use a dish washing soap.Hope it helps you

This is for soft bodied pests like aphids.It has worked well for me.It can take a couple treatments,over a few days.
