I havent thought of it that much. Usually when I plant them, I add some slow release ferts in the mix. I am also using composted manure.
 
Today i visited a specialized growing shop for chilis etc. and there was so many new fertilizers in stock, that it made my head spin. :P

Exactly. Too much of that stuff on the shelves to decide easily. Will check around for sure, theyll be ready to transplant pretty soon...

Also sowed some kapijas again, even bought the seeds. I guess mine are too old or it just wasn't meant to be.

Those look really nice.
And they'll look even nicer in the future if everything goes as planned. :cheers:
 
Devv said:
Lots of nice looking babies there!
Thanks. They need solo cups now. Will get to it.

What are the LEDs your using?
Those are cheap LEDs from china....but they seem efficient (6 rows with 36LEDs, half red half blue).
 
Today I transplanted the last batch of chilis and paprika in solo cups and some in little trays. Even the first batch of tomatoes were transplanted today, together with a few egg plants. Sowed some basil, rucola and parsley to wrap things up. Wasnt here much but I will try to catch up with all of your glogs...  I'm quite busy with the kids and some side work I got to use my rusty knowledge of coding at. It's funny how things pop back into your head even if you thought you had completely forgotten them. :banghead:
 
Transplanted until now:
   Annum: some sweet peppers, Alpina yellow bell pepper, Kapija (Kurtovska), Jalapeno, Cayenne Golden, Bangalore Torpedo, Pequin
   Baccatum: Lemon Drop
   Chinense: Bhut Jolokia, Chupetinho, Habanero Chocolate, Habanero White, Aji Umba
   Pubescens: Rocoto
 
Never popped:
   Bonda ma Jacques, Cherry Bomb, Datil, Manzano, Caribbean Red Habanero, Orange Habanero, MoA
This is a lot, I think I newer had so much of "no pops", I guess the seeds I sowed were old. Would try to sow them again but there is not enough time. I guess I will miss the MoA's the most.

Where are you going to put all those chilis, when they are big enough?
 
Some will go in pots around the house, some to the garden, a few to friends... same like every year I guess. But this time I have a bit less of them.
