👍 Good work on those wilds Alex! Handsome plants with beautifull flowers!

Any idea on what the not peppers might be?

Winner of the second round is the Prik khi nu on day 5 Also got the first thunder mountain longhorn and Cayenne #1 hooks emerging :dance: The first round is doing fine, all survived and settled in to their new environment starting to grow their first true leaves. Fatalii BMJxAdjuma CGN...

Don't do anything you will regret in 8 weeks from now, like i did.... 😁

Looking forward to your grow this year. Your enthusiasm for the peppapeach makes me consider them for my 2024 grow! Heres to a great season! :cheers:

Started to soak the annuum and the phrik khi nu today. We have a new line of Franchi sementi seeds at work, so obviously i extended my annuum growlist a bit. :D Additions for this year: Goccia d'oro Giallo d'Asti Peperone Lombardo

These are actually made for aquariums and specifically to enhance plant growth. I liked the specs of them and could get them with a good bargain. They perform quite good as a growlight. They are quite powerfull, when put too close to the plants they will do some serious tanning! Specs: 8625 LUX...

Thnx! I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out and it does the job just fine. Only thing i would change if i were to build a new one, would be to make it a whole lot bigger! 😁

Everything above 12C would be allright, lower temps will stunt the growth too much. I would go for the attic and maybe build or improvise a bigger growspace. It's quite easy to build some sort of tent or big box to house your plants. You could also try to use the heatmat more as a space heater...

I would take the dome off after germination! Such high humidity and temperature is a recipe for disaster. Damping off is something that happens fast and without warning. I guess your headless seedling is the result of just this. Don't know how cold it gets in your garage and attic, but i keep...

Transplanted some seedlings today! Still tiny little plants so not much to report, but just for fun some close ups Rocoto Rio Hualaga CGN 21500

That emoji at the end perfectly describes the feeling one may have after almost giving up on seeds and then suddenly be pleasantly surprised by germination! Great feeling! Those helmets do look like they are stuck tightly though.... :seeya:

😁 Don't expect any idylic or rustic countryside scenes at my vegetable garden... I started my working life at greeneries and in professional floriculture, that sure molded my approach to growing vegetables. Only straight rows of proud soldier plants on perfect 4 feet wide plantbeds, if a...

I would go for a good starter soil or some cocobased soil. If you can't find them locally you could sift the soil you are using now to get rid of the big woody pieces. Maybe mix in some crusher sand and some fine aged compost. For nutrients you could use some granulated organic fertilizers...

I noticed several times that the soil you are using is very coarse and full of rough not thoroughly composted material. The rough composition can disturb the right water air mixture in the soil making it hard for the plants to spread their roots. Above all the uncomposted materials are still...

Love those dark colors!!! 😍

I also grow a lot of vegetables on my alotment garden wich measures about 300 square meters. Most of the peppers will be grown in containers in my backyard though. The sweet peppers will be grown on open ground in the vegetable garden.

Is it just the picture or are that some strange round cotyledons? You sure they are peppers?

No worries, just a little saprophytic molds. These belong in healthy soil and are beneficial to your plants. The reason you can see them is due to high humidity in your grow environment, normally they just do their job below the surface. Putting up a fan like @Bou suggested and letting the top...
