Cutback Orange Habanero Bustin' With Buds

I am proud of my overwintered orange habanero that I severely cut back...remember when it was this back on 19 December 2007

Now it is this...23 February 2008..figure 8 1/2 - 9 weeks..

Here are a series of pics that are of the flower buds...which is where I have a question....

and another

My question is how long will the plant stay in this bud/flower producing state? Will it produce buds/flowers until the first ripe fruit?....I have already started hardening it off...may try to set it out a bit today weather permitting...

I want early Orange Habs on my kitchen counter..
 
AJ, could you reduce the size of your pictures some, please? I'm getting to where I'm reluctant to open any of your posts from home because they take so long to load.

I will try Pam...you mean reduce the file size or the physical size of the pictures?

If you keep the conditions right, chiles will flower and fruit continuously.....I know mine do.

That's what I was hoping...this plant will get a big pot of its own this year...

I think it's probably the file size, but we'll have to ask someone who knows more about this than I do. All I can tell you is that I've started playing games of solitaire while your posts load.
 
Pam you really need broadband connection in this day and age. At first I thought your browser was set at a low resolution. AJ pictures come up almost instant for all of us on broadband and I just love seeing his peppers it almost unfair to ask for less or smaller pics. This is what this forum is all about. Keep the pictures coming please.
 
AJ your cutback habanero is so much happier than a hab I brought inside without cutback. I will be doing that to many plants at the end of the season. Your plant has an incredible amount of bud sites you may have to be selective to get bigger fruits. I really enjoy your pics and I hope Pam understands my earlier post.
 
Let me try and post this one and see what it does...I am having to adjust my shelves...increase the spacing between them and had to talk all the plants off...so I decided to get a family picture of all plants I am growing at the present time....I am tending 398 plants.

I compressed the files and brought the file size down from over 1M to 100k range...see if this is better...I don't think I lost any quality in the pics...this is my total crop....

Of all the plants I am growing I honestly believe the one Diable Negro that germinated is the prettiest...

Is that any quicker for you Ms. Pam...and is the quality the same?
 
good deal...I will start compressing my files before posting them...lesson learned..
 
Today seems like a good day here in NTX to start hardening plants off. Almost 60 out with very little wind and lots of sun.. I've actually got all the windows open in my house! :)
 
for posting on webpages you really don't need more then 2MP resolution so that's about where your 100K sized files would be at, it just means if we were to download it and enlarge it to 8x10 or higher it would be pixellated (so anyone who wants to make a giant mural out of AJ's pictures has to get the original files from him...). pam was right, when you resize it on the webpage it just changes the dimensions not the resolution. nearly a half of internet users in the US don't have broadband btw. US ranks 12th i think in broadband usage (no government subsidized investment, it's a real problem...).
 
GB...so are you saying I need to start decreasing the resolution on my camera when I take photos?
 
you can take them at the higher resolution (which you'll still need to for the real close up stuff anyways) and compress them exactly like you did, or you can choose a lower quality resolution when you take the picture (most cameras will have three options, some have more) if you know from the start you're taking the photo just to post on the web. but what you did works and you still get to keep the higher quality version for yourself. so it's your choice, no difference to us.
high megapixel cameras are needed for the real detail shots and for the quality of the photo when printed but most computer screens don't have very high resolution to begin with (of course the newer ones are better...) so if you're on the web and looking at a 12MP quality picture you're really only seeing the highest resolution your monitor is capable of but the file size is still the same as a 12MP picture.
 
AJ,

I use a 5.1 MP camera so the images come out huge, but only 72 dpi. In PhotoShop I decrease their width from 2600 to about 400. The file size decreased from 1.3 megs to 135K. It still takes up more than 1/3 of my screen. If I save it as 600 pixels wide, it is only 252K.

I am letting Image Shack resize mine after I compress them in Microsoft Picture Editor. They are resized to 320 X 240 and seems to work fine...
 
Thread seems to be about pics now...

The only good thing about the "Krapdak (not-so-)Easyshare software is that it allows you to re-save pics as "best for web" (about 100K). It's just all the other stuff that makes it so bad....
