Little update 2018-06-09

Some pictures of the plants. They are doing pretty good.

Red Dominican habanero

Hot fingers

Aleppo

Cayenne

ghenghis

I just shoot every last one of them with my 12 gauge whenever I walk into the wood. I have not seen any on my yard for a long time. 

For the moment we are not using the arduino automation. 

We are using an inkbird itc-308. It automatically control the temperature by switching between heating and cooling  depending on a  temperature threshold. 

Well actually we are using the arduino for the linear actuator but we have to manually switch between positive and negative current on the board. I will soon make the same setup than last year.


 

My setup is pretty redneck, but it work lol

I didn't get enough pressure with one long line of 24 sprinkler so I made two line. Work perfectly now.

After 1 week of hardening, the plants are ready to be transferred to the greenhouse.

There is even a little pepper growing on the hot finger already.

Made a small chance in the air flow to reduce humidity. We got this big blower for free and it is about 3 time stronger than the last one.

I'm being infested by tomatoes until the night are hotter

I will install the auto drip system soon.

For a quick comparison this was may 27th last year 

And this was june 17th in 2016

It's almost time to bring the plants outside.

Last week I gave away a lot of peppers to friends.

2x Jalapeno

1x Aji Verde

1x Sukari

1x Aji Jobito

1x Thai Orange

1x Starfish

2x Yellow Scotch Bonnet

1x Cayenne

For now I'm hardening the biggest plants.

Temperature is still a little bit cold during the night so I'M not risking it. 

Transplanted the biggest peppers last week. They have nice roots density. 

Ready for hardening 

Also prepared the pot for peppers. I will transfer them next week when night are over 10 celcius.
