Really nice looking plants and pods :) Last year I also had some issues with BER. In my specific case it was just the variety Nocturne. I think the problem was related to an insufficient or irregular water supply. We had really high temperatures last year and those plants have been growing...

Hello everyone! Just a quick update on the plants. Most of them seem to have settled in their pots after the repotting. They start to grow and produce some nice pods. Some pods are already ripening and ready to use. If am am lucky I will have unlimited amount of fresh peppers from now on until...

Yes definitely! I am lacking a little bit behind with making enough pictures this season. But always nice to have the chance to go back in time and have a look how some plants performed in the past :)

Yes feels really good! Now it is time to switch into the "observation mode". Sometimes it is hard to tell if the plants are growing if you inspect your plants daily several times 😁

Thank you very much @OCD Chilehead! ✌️ Every year I know what I am getting into with this amount of plants, but I just can´t resist :D When the last frost is over I feel like ALL the plants need to be in their final destination by then. But it takes usually at least one week, more realistic...

Hi there! Most of my peppers made it finally into their end pots for this season. But before I had to work on the soil mix. First of all I emptied all the old pots and sieved the soil. Next step was rinsing the pots with water. And then mixing the soil. Its a mixture of old soil, some...

As I am enjoying your offseason glog very much already I am really looking forward to your main glog ✌️ :)

Thank you very much @MarcV! ✌️ The Rocotos will be in 40 to 60 l pots and the C. baccatum will be tranplantet into 35 l pots. I want to try out how big I can get them :) Usually I am going with 10 l for C. annuum, 20 l for C. chinense, 20 to 35 l for C. baccatum and 35 + l for C. pubescens.

Hi all, let get´s started with part two of the update! ✌️ Criolla Sella: Here a little comparison of the growth between 5 l / 1,5 gallon an 2 l / 0,5 gallon. Both plants have the same age. Little Bird of Guyana: Again 5 l / 1,5 gallon an 2 l / 0,5 gallon. Some nice pods are forming...

Hi all! Long time no update from my side. The days have been really busy, but slowly we are getting started in the garden! :woohoo: About a week ago it was getting really crowded indoors. Not only in the the basement, but also at the two south facing windows. It feels like I have more plants...

Your plants are looking just great! Nice colour and growth! I think they should have the perfect size once it is time to transplant them outdoors 👍

Thank you very much @Ratatouille! Some early pods would be very much appreciated! I am really looking forward to have some fresh peppers soon (hopefully) 😍

Hi everybody! today a little update on the chilis :) It is getting really crowded in the basement as the plants are getting some good size. Most of them are in 13x13 cm / 5x5 inch pots now. The C. pubescens won the race with producing the first flowers! 😍 Some nice flowers on the...

I just picked this link up here a few weeks ago and found it really helpful for the different capsicum varieties. I found it really interesting to see where they come from geologically. Maybe there are some information you are interested in :)

Found a really big and nice looking flower on one of my Rocoto Canario plants today. It is the first flower and it looks like there are maybe forming two fruits 😍
