Cold country, small balcony, grow accordingly 2020

Hello and a warning: this is going to be boring and small grow located in finland, mainly for keeping record.
 
This is my 4th or 5th season and 2nd in the same appartment. I have a small windowed balcony facing so, that in the summer sun hits it from ~12 to late evening between 18-22 if I remember correctly.
 
Last summer I had 2x aji fantasy, 2x harold st bart as main plants, then amashito wild and moruglah in a more shady spot. Results were nice for aji fantasies, got around 2kg overall from them and maybe 500+g from harolds. This year I'm not going to waste space with  chinenses, the conditions just aren't there.
 
This years grow will be:
2x Challuaruro
2x Jalapeno orange spice
1x aji fantasy x harold st bart (if seeds viable, own cross)
1x spanish giant.
 
I have a tent for germinating and getting to summer, 120x60x180 sized, so 2'x4'x6'. Seeds will hit the rockwool next week, will put out pics then. My growlight is solux twin 2x55 tubes, 6400k and around 10 000 lumens.
Basicly plan is, rockwool -> coco coir with maybe perlite/vermiculite, final pots will be pots with water reservoir below, acts kinda like passive hydro with coco.

I wonder what that could be?
 
Looks like a space yearning for some green!

Yes, perhaps some evergreen houseplants, maybe even plastic ones?

Your carrot seedlings look like they are
at a good point for transplanting some
to the gaps in the row!
 
I'll be sowing my carrot seeds pretty soon.
 
Looks like it is serious now, Risto.
 
Those decorator containers are money!
they look great, as do the plants!
 
Beautiful Challuaruro pod. Will be a stunning
display when there are a lot of ripe ones.

Looks pretty good. How is the Montufar coming along? Those are still my favorite Rocoto pods.
 
Plants looking really great, Risto! That is
a pretty large flower! Do they all have seven
petals? That Challauaruro is loaded with nice
pods!
 
Too bad spiders don't eat aphids. They are too
disgusting even for spiders  :rofl:
