Chilinferno 2012

Dear Friends!

although we are in 2013 yet it´s not late to show you my grow log from 2012.
as some of you know i dont own a garden (not yet), i have to grow my plants on the window sills in my flat.
it sounds difficult to grow chilis in such places but none the less it´s a good challenge to grow in every corner you may find in our every day´s life
2012 was a good year with a lot of sun shine and i ended up with a good yield.

i have 5 plants from 2011 which i successfully had overwintered:
*Red Fire (C.chinense)
*CGN 22871 (C.baccatum)
*C04620 "red" (C.chinense)
*Petenero (C.chinense)
*Bombillito (C.baccatum)

2 plants from seeds:
*Not Black Naga Mean Red Cross (from cmpman1974) (C.chinense)
*C04620 "yellow" (C.chinense)

there were some surprises, for instance the C04620 grown from seed turned yellow and had another shape as the one i grew in 2011. and the Not Black Naga Mean Red Cross from Chris got orange and not red as the original one and i also missed the spikes and bumps a great deal - nonetheless i have a nice substrain now.

lets show you the pix.

Wow awesome looking plants and beautiful pods!!! A friend of mine from Austria grows chilies as well; he’s been growing there for many years now. So like you in windows, he grows indoors in winter and rooftop & patio. AFAIK he does not come to THP but does hang in irc and we occasionally chat, if I see him soon I’ll ask if I can post some of his peppers from Austria in my log. I’d say great luck to you in your 2013 growing but from what I’ve seen here you don’t need luck, you have it wired

Here's the link to his peppers posted in my glog http://thehotpepper.com/topic/36338-walkgoods-2013-initiation-glog/page__st__100#entry759722

It's my favorite pepper I grow, a Jamaican hab but I think it is some form of cross with scotch bonnet as well, got seed from a farmer in Jamaica while living there and I grew them 4 generations there and now here on 9th gen.

Hey, CI, you have one of the best window grows I've seen.
One upside is that you have less space to have to manage
and can really control your plants grow environment, etc, I think.

Red Fire

unfortunetely the plant only gave a few pods although it was full of blooms. i was very disappointed!


CGN 22871

C04620 "red"

its shape reminds me of Snoopy - unripe pod

Snoopy matured!

Thanks dude!

you know, i am a fundamental chili head and for this reason i give my best to maximize the output of my growths independet of the growing environment. of course i pamper my babes with nutritious fertilizers

From these last pics you would never know it's all grown on your window, very nice!

hehehe, yeahh - that´s true my friend!

so let´s show you further pictures....


Petenero

The plant was the latest starter in 2012, i dont know why. it also grew slowly and the harvest was unfortunetely marginal.


Bombillito
