Latest pic of my growing progress so far, i have already topped few of them.

Chilidude · Mar 1, 2015

Almost all are now topped and they look mighty fine to me. In the right, my Bonda ma jacques is still producing purplish leaves. :woohoo:

My chilis are doing just fine and i just recently planted them to a bigger pots. It seems spring is coming early this year, as the sun is shining very nicely and the snow is melting fast.

They are not that big compared to my last years plants...LOL I am planning to take them outside in the end of May, if weather permits.

Have to wait about 2-3 weeks to take them outside, so not for long now until outside growing season starts.

Chilidude · May 11, 2015

My chilis are now ready to go outside, just another week to go. :woohoo:

Yes. Last year i noticed a huge difference in actual growing and pepper production ability, when using coco+Ghe fertilizers with the airpot. Very hard to overwater in there pots and the plant produced huge number of feeding roots.

So in conclusion, they're probably worth their higher price... a buddy of mine has a few and is gonna try them out this summer.
If he's satisfied, I'm gonna buy some air pots for next season for sure.

Looking good chilidude! Haven't used the airpots before, but have read about them being hotels for bugs. Have you found that?

Have seen few ants and some spiders, but have not seen any other bugs. I use containers to collect the extra water coming from the pots, as i water them and the water pouring out of the pots helps keeping out the ants.

First chilis have ripened and tasted two new varieties for me:

Aji pineapple: sort of quick hint of pineapple and decend quite long lasting burn.

Aji golden: Sweet fruity Aji taste, very little heat. Would be nice for some salads or just eating straight from the plant as a tasty snack.

Blister · May 20, 2015

I haven't tried any of the Aji's. This year I've stuck primarily to heat. The only exception is the MoA Bonnet. All the others are scorpion derivitives and a jolokia. I wanted to limit my grow this year, but I'm still pushing a dozen or so plants. Looking like it's going to be a nice hot summer here too! Should be able to produce some real nice heat by the end of the season.
