Thanks for your replies! Yes  GPR, I look forward to trying the "cone" shaped LED later on. It sure seems very bright.   CaneDog: It's a reference to what Granny Weatherwax wrote once on a note when her mind was tagging along some animal and her body was laying on her bed (the Discworld). And...

2019-01-26:   'I aten't dead yet'   Production: ~15 mature aji fruits per week, one here another there during the week then a fistful on a saturday:   5 mature rocoto fruits so far, had the first mature a couple of weeks back:   After reading on fatalii's page that Yes rocoto plants can stand...

You obviously don't eat the entire rocoto fruit, just like you avoid the core of normal store bought bell peppers, and unlike every hot pepper I've grown and eaten so far..

Välkommen! Will these be moving outdoors in the spring?

Good luck! (And if it's any consolation you've a lot more space than me and as far as I know not two predators that go straight for the jugular of anything green in a heartbeat's mistake with a tent flap or door) :)

  Many thanks for your reply.   Have intermittently been removing obvious dying leaves but shall take your advice and be more prudent when assessing.   You are probably rather correct in that the myriad of things in soil will have subtle effects on the whole plant and likely a bit of the taste...

2018-12-29:   Small pictureless update.   Thanks for your replies! PaulG: the spots that look a bit like bacterial spot are on the occasional older leaf. The new dead spots are only on the aji pineapple and only on newer leaves.   Cane: Thanks for the feedback, from this and your glog I feel a...

Last year I tried growing chinense-kinds indoors as well and they stopped dropping flowers when the humidity levels went up. Winter here == dry indoors and outdoors. It's written elseplace that chinense are more tropical and like their humidity and at least in my limited experience that seems...

Yes, really cool to see!

Hi, mini-update:   Things are moving along with a few bumps. The side of the Rocoto facing the tent flap and not in direct line of the fan isn't producing pods, quite regardless of my efforts with fingers and cotton buds, the other is, there are maybe seven or eight fruits currently.   The ajis...

Things are looking very good! Interesting to see a graft like that, I hope it takes, agree that it seems like a potentially cool cross (tasty cgn and insanely hot 7-pot) :)

2018-12-01:   "..Progress?"     -Ajis are status quoing a bit, first pods appeared more than a month ago and are as light (mango) and dark (pineapple) green now as then. Maybe 12/12 is dragging the pod maturation time out, even when the light is a HID? The mango is stretching long thin limbs and...

So this oscillating fan can tilt..great...straight on or straight down it turns out. Have at ye, knees of a Rocoto!

2018-11-21: mini-update;   -Three fruits, within a couple of centimeters from each other, are developing on the Rocoto plant. All other flowers have dropped despite cotton topping regularly. All three are in the direct line of fire of the static fan (no other flowers are so far). --> Am getting...

persevere

Glad I found this thread : ) Some great songs seen and many more pages to visit. Here's a song I love; not so fast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJAJqNwlPUw

Thanks for the suggestions..good point about PM0363 being thin-walled and easy to dry and perhaps not the best for the grill.  The Numex Big Jim looks interesting though might be a bit unwieldy in my tents, might not be.  The Numex Sandia is an alternative. Poblano and Marconi look promising too..
