Glad to see you back for another season. I've cut my grow back this season as well.

You know fewer plants can actually equal better crop in the end, if individual plants get more sun/space to grow by putting less plants in the greenhouse this time around. Again i got more plants growing than i need in the end, so i will have to give few away to friends etc.
 

 
I upgraded my led chili growing with a grow room to make them grow even faster. For those interested about the grow room, it is Secret Jardin DR Vintage 103x103x200 and also with this thing i can ripen maybe about four bigger chili plants, if the season is not so good.
 
Nice list! It's always tough to decide what to grow when your space is limited. What kinds of LED's are you using, btw?

I got 2x120w Led Finland and 1x100w GreenChili LED - CUBE X2 led light. Newer led grow lights seems to be better at growing stuff and how much wattage they got have almost nothing to do how well they do at the actual light production.
 
Wow you really cut back the grow. I'm shooting for about 6 plants in total too. Just so much extra bottled water when I use the fabric pots. Also more of a hassle to transport when I go away and need someone to care for them.

9 plants are still more than enough, if the season is ok.

I agree. I got 2 1 gallon Ziploc bags full of dried peppers from last year's grow. It's why I'm scaling back and trying new varieties this year. Here's hoping for a hot summer!

Yesterday i re-potted the chilis to a larger pots and after that they will be put to the final 10 litre Airpots, when the time comes.
 
Healthy nice plants.Like the LED lights.Been to the hydro shop a few times recently bugging the guys about LEDs for next season.
 

 
Spring have been somewhat late, so not much to post until now. Today i build myself a proper greenhouse and the size is 5.7 square meters. I think the 9 plants i have will grow there just fine. :dance:
 

All plants are stringed. Now i just have to wait and see how they grow again with the rainwater+fertilizer mixture i have been giving them.
