19 chinense and 5 baccatum moved to 45L containers.
Pubescens doing good, I have at least one fruit already set. Next time I'll take some flower pics :)
Long day today, managed to bring the garden in a "plantable" state :) Still lot to do.
The 3 pubescen beds:
Overwinters, some alive some maybe not. And tomato bed soon.
Sweet potatoes soon
Doubled the garden area, will have containers here this year:
Planted the biggest pubescens...
I would say it's the light, using 2 agro 600W each - it's 180k lumens for 2.88 square meters.
Now I remember why I cannot clean the lens, have to replace the cracked back cover of the phone because there is no screw:

Today was the 2nd day with the bigger plants outside during the day (I think 26 pubescens, 4 baccatum and 18 chinense). If I'll finish the work in the garden I will move the pubes in beds on Saturday.
Some pics below, some plants are already too big for 2L pots.
25 in the first try and 20+ from the second and still waiting for others :) I have now 15 pubescens varieties, only Rocoto Macara did not want to sprout.
Small update, plants are doing fine, took pictures under the lights because today I'm too lazy to take them out.
This is the first one moved to bigger pot and getting very fat
And on 24 Feb resowed 10 pubes varieties because the seeds are pretty old, this time approx. 5...

Hi all,
This is my second year growing peppers and also my second glog here.
I have overwintered 10 plants and have been battling aphids for 4 months. I am winning, but because of the neem oil applications the new growth and flowers got burned. They are still alive though...
The OW list, not...
