Here we go for another year! 
 
Let hope its better than last year where half my plants didnt even produce.
 
Im gaining experience every season so it can only get better.
 
This year growing list :
 
2 x Yellow 7 pot
2 x Farmer market jalapeno
2 x Aji cito
2 x Fresno
1 X Brain X Bhutlah (pepper north)
1 X Ghenghis (pepper north)
1 x Wiri Wiri
1 x Ôt Hièm 
2 x Starfish
2 x Fatalii
1 x Trinidad perfume
1 x 7 pot chocolate gigantic SR
2 x Lìmon
1 x Trinidad moruga scorpion
1 x red scotch bonnet
2 x Aleppo (jeffcontonio)
2 x Aji jobito (jeffcontonio)
2 x Gold bhutlah ( pepper north )
2 x 7 pot Lava (pepper north)
 
 
Red = new pepper this year
 
For a total of 31 plants
 
Man there is so much snow this year!
 

 
The greenhouse is doing good
 

 
Let do this!
 

 

 

 
This year we decided to make an automatic system
 
The last slot is a humidity captor and with the use of a Raspberry pi  we get email alert when the soil need water
 
 
Here is the setup
 

 

 
 
We plan on adding a temperature sensor which active a fan and a water automatic dispenser.
 
 
Have a great year guys!

nice list , my friend !  wish you the best on your grow . Man thats a lot of snow !  We haven't seen snow for a month or so . been 70 last 3 days . I can see that you need to start those earlier in the year ,    

 

[charlesquik]

Even if I started earlier I still couldn't plant them until the night are higher than 0 degree. My problem last year was to wait too long before planting them outdoor because I was really busy.
 
My greenhouse already setup this year so I will try to stretch my season by a good 3-4 weeks.

I love automation.Good luck this year my friend.

Gets an email when the plants need water... that's amazing. good luck

Just received my LED lamp!
 
Bought the Meizhi 450watt full spectrum
 

 
 

 
It got two buttons, one for grow and one for bloom (both on for full spectrum)
 

 
This is a powerful lamp and it can hurt the eyes. 
 
 
My first two seedlings!
 

 

[charlesquik]

UPDATE!
 
Everything is doing good!
 
So far only these one have not germinated so I planted some more.
 
Yellow 7 pot
Wiri Wiri
Ôt Hièm 
Fatalii
Trinidad perfume
 

 
 
Also we installed a camera so I can check them from work

We will also program it so it take a picture each day and make a timelaspe.
 

 

 
 
My chain are not long enough so I bought adjustable clip hanger on amazon. Should receive those by Wednesday.



My problem now is that my plants are way too much leggy
 
I though that with that lamp they would be more bushy. Is my lamp too far away?

 

[charlesquik]

Little update
 
3 varieties have yet to germinate
 
yellow 7 pot
Wiri Wiri
Ôt Hièm 
 
Yellow 7 pot are my favorite pepper so its kind of  heart breaking I guess my seed from 2014 are not good anymore...
 
I installed my adjustable clip hanger. They are quality and work exactly as I wanted. 
 

 
Here how the camera look on the web interface 
 

 
Also some pictures
 

 

 
My father stoles some spot for his lettuces but hey I can share that lamp ( he pays for the electricity  )
 
Also my gold bhutlah have purple leaves. Anyone growing them can testify if that normal? They are the only one like that (so no sunburn)

Really looking good, Charles!  That light is money!
The plants look like they like it!
 
Glad to see you getting the season underway, fully
supported by technology!  Looks like fun!  Good
luck, brother!

 

[charlesquik]

Peppers are growing well, I will soon transplant them.
 
I'm getting swarmed by my father's tomatoes plants! 

 
One problem though, some leaves are yellow/green and I don't know why. Any insight? 
 
Over-watering, not enough light, not enough nutrients? 
 

 
Thank you! 

 

[LocalFart]

Are they growing really slowly? I had a similar issue. was just that I didn't have enough light.

 

[charlesquik]

I have a 450watt LED, they get enough light
 
They are growing faster than my previous year too

 

[charlesquik]

They are growing strong! Happy with the results
 

 

[charlesquik]

Transplanted my plants today
 
The roots system was starting to spread under the tray
 
I did a complete mess in the kitchen
 

 
 
tomatoes are gone mouhhaha
 

 

 
No yellow 7 pot this year finally  

 

[charlesquik]

They like the transplant!
 
Tomatoes are back lol...
 

 
 
Comparison with my shitty last year grow at the same time.

 
I think this season will be my best!
 
 

 

[charlesquik]

So I had a big mold and fungus problem.
 
Ive changed the dirt of all my plants and sprayed them with peroxide (3%) / water concentration of 6 part for 100
 
I will also water them with a mixture of 3 part for 100

 
 

 
 
The growing really slowed because of the diseases. I hope they will get better.
 
I will also ask my father to water them less ( Im kinda living 15 miles from there so I cant be there too much often)

Have you got a fan in the room? or something to circulate the air?

No but I have one laying around. I think ill use it.
 
I will also put a heater set to 24 degree. Its a small room so its not so bad on electricity.

Yeah i think a bit of airflow will help them dry out
