  .......................... Peruvian white habanero. The first shot shows a plant like a bonchi but it has been growing with minimal nutrition in a small pot. The lower pic is fro a hydro plant upside down so the pods are easy to pick. ~2000 pods during the season. Quite a difference depending...

  The perspective is due to fisheye lens but the red pod plant is Tobago sweet, about 3,5m (12feet) tall and produced 10kg(22lbs). The pic on the right is from the time I put the plant into the greenhouse. The height was already 170cm. The bucket is 90 liters. Growing in NFT.    

  Thank you. The NFT is unbelievable for chilis. the whole root system of a 3m tall plant fits on A4 paper. The bucket isn´t small, 90 liters. EC 1,6 normal hydro 2-component fertilizer. I didn´t even bother to cover the buckets, so there was green algae masses but the chilis didn´t seem to care.

Back to season 2015.     Ulupica large Xl flowering.     C.annuum Pequin de Ischia (Wuschel) with a twist.     C.flexuosum flowering. Germinated 1.1.2015.

 This season is a wild season. Previous seasons I have my greenhouse 90% full of chilis, now very little.   I´ll post some pics of a typical season in Finland.     150213, the basement of my house. NFT:s.     Problem. 010413.     Solution.     The seedlings in. 100413.     Bonda ma Jacques...

   Well, that´s a giant zucchini, a marrow. 32kg (70lbs). Not a cabbage, sorry to put this pic in a wrong context.

 I´ve been a fan of fermented products for over 40 years. Starting to learn the method from my father. Mostly sauerkraut. In 2011 I tried to combine cabbage and chili and that was a success. Then came other vegetables along.     I have three clay pots specially made for fermenting. Includes a...

  Thanks, I think it looks like a dill or something awful but it´s quite peculiar and rare. The plant starts to set pods when less than 10cm tall and it doen´t need anything special. The other thing is to get seeds which are pretty hard to get. 10 pods this year ripened without a trace of seeds.

  23.1.2010; the first pic ever taken of this "thing". I let it grow because I couldn´t identify what species this was. It took a long time before I even realized this could be a Capsicum. Even when the first flowers appeared (the plant was 6-7cm in height) I wasn´t able too tell what genus this...

  Some crop 2014.     Black Naga.

    Pictures from March 2015     Almost like growing the herb dill. Upper left corner is the real Candlelight.

      Pictures from season 2014. Harold St.Bart´s, Champion and NFT Rocoto orange. I find NFT quite suitable for massive production. The crop was 114kg (2014) so this season I try to produce less. More tomatoes and other vegetables.   C.tovarii.     C.flexuosumsandwich. Of course it helps...

Thank You hogleg!

Hello all!   I´m a chilihead from Southern Finland and been growing chilies since 2009. I grow mainly in hydro but also normal soil too. Maybe I play for you some blues.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs_ZdkrDpkM   From the basement of our house, some seedlings hide the scenery.   There has...
