Bluemeanietsi's "late to the game" Glog 2013 style

Got into this a little late and the seeds were purchased off of eBay (before I knew about this site) so for all I know these are all green bell peppers haha.

As I stated in my newbie thread this is the greenhouse I built/work in progress. Right now they are spending the nights inside as it's still warm during the day. I have other flowers in there that will be moving indoors soon to make more room.

Here's what I have so far, I plan to keep up with updates hopefully I get some exciting pods from these:

Here are my "Bhut"s a little over a month old:

These are my "7 Pots" a few weeks old now:

These are supposed to be "Thai Peppers" which started showing flower buds this week:

Tobasco:

Here is my only scotch bonnet that survived, the others were eaten so I'm not sure if I'll get anything off this one or not:

It's late in the year but I'm going to try to keep these guys growing in the greenhouse and maybe have a winter harvest Otherwise it's a learning experience until the growing season starts next year and I start the remaining seeds.

I have some "Butch T"s that popped up last week I have to get photos of too, they're about 1" tall now.

The LEDs seem to be working pretty well, I've got a decent sized peach bhut going in there.

Man this one is really taking off, 3 days later the roots are down in the bucket now.

Plants in the greenhouse are doing extremely well I decided to cut them back to not only help free up room but also get them to thicken up. One I cut back last week is already showing some wonderful new growth up the stem.

Ok so this is the same plant as above, I've been pinching off the larger leaves now to promote some additional growth. Here is how it looks a week later you can see all the new dense growth it has:

Another week down

I now have buds on most of them but I have pinched a few off. I know it will stunt the plants a bit but I have height restrictions as it is so i'm going to let a few of them flower and see what happens.

Here is my Peach Ghost Scorpion "bush" (the same one in the above pictures) even after I pruned about 20 leaves off of it. I have a feeling this particular plant is going to become a monster.

Some current greenhouse shots, I lost 5 or 6 due to some high temperatures from a few days I wasn't home.

Looking good!

So one of my DWC plants has 11 buds on it. I'm going to let it go and see what happens. The plant is only about 7" tall but it's quite bushy. What I find inderesting is the plants I had in the greenhouse got almost 3 feet tall and never got buds in aug/sept and these things are only about 45 days old and they're budding like crazy in DWC under LED.

Here's a pic with all the buds. I had bumpy and curled leaves so I added some calcium they actually look a lot better than thy did last week but look at all the buds:

Shot of the light panel. Still need to put 15 more LEDs and some more lenses to call it finished. There's a 6in fan that blows across the whole thing.

Plants look wonderful and healthy. Well done

HEre's my foil experiment. Thoughs are maybe all the angles will reflect light all around:

I think this is going to be my layout for the garden this year. Tomatoes and Peppers lol and a few pumpkins I think around the outside, all things I use for sauce. These dont' include what I'll have in pots as well.

 

[bluemeanietsi]

So it looks like I get to redo my entire list. My parents have a neighbor that's a good family friend who has an entire 2 acre lot that she's letting me access to grow the bulk of my sauce making peppers. I get to scale back what I grow here and grow a larger variety now I'm pretty excited

Ill still be growing a few plants of those types here too but the tomatoes and the bulk sauce plants are moving there. Not sure how much of the 2 acre I'll use but I foresee plenty of peppers this year.

Cool man, that greenhouse rocks. The plants are perking up to the light nicely.

Ill have to grab a pic later but one of the dwc has its first flower. I was going to pinch them off but decided due to space requirements I decided to just let them go. I have to say that plant is budding like crazy too.
