Hello fellow Capsichums!
I figured I would start a log here, mainly to learn and also share some of my own experience with what seems like a bunch of fellow plant nerds!
I have grown organically(mostly indoors) for about 5 years but am new to growing peppers! I'm still trying to figure out the best way to feed as they grow, as I am used to growing in large 20gal pots, which are much easier to manage with just top dressing and watering, whereas the peppers will be going into 5 gals max and will be outdoors(indoor space is for more..profitable crop...).
Not really the style I'm used to! But I will have over 130 plants once I pop the last few seed packs I have... try filling 130 20gals with soil LMAO
No thanks.
Anyways...the varieties I have starting right now(direct seeded March 21st) are a Cayenne Blend, Thai Hot, Shishito, Ghost, JalaFuego, Serrano, Jalapeno and Mini Bell. I'm also waiting on some Aji Gold, Yellow Scotch Bonnet, Carolina Reaper and Habanada seeds to arrive that I will be starting too.
I think I'm going a bit mad with the amount but hey, what ya gonna do lol
An exhilirating look at some soil and tags you can't read.
Cayenne was the winner in the race to sprout!
These are the Mini Bells which I neglected to write date of seeding but I'm going with the 16th of March!
I plan on keeping this updated at least weekly. Hopefully make some friends along the way.
If you have any questions about my soil mix or indoor setup, feel free to ask!
See you in the garden!
