Hello from The Netherlands

Hello everyone!
 
I'm 30, live in The Netherlands and have a wife and two young children (4 & 2). I just graduated as an Industrial Designer and am looking for a job. I love growing plants and am going to be growing peppers for the first time this season. I built a growing cabinet with a 4 bulb high output T5 light fixture and have already started some seeds. I started growing Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, Corno Di Toro Rosso and Californian Wonder in December.
 



 
Two weeks ago I started Chocolate Habanero, Holy Mole, Big Bomb and Columbian Rainbow. Everything but the Colombian Rainbow has come up.
 

 
I'm feeding my plants bone meal, blood meal and potash, that I combined in a 20-20-20 mix with some lavadust for trace minerals. My bigger plants are showing some issues with purple leaves (P deficiency?) and leaves folding upwards (see the pictures). Can anyone tell me what deficiency they have?

Thank you.
 
I started various Trichocereus cacti from seed last July, and they love the light. I'm planning on trying some grafting onto Pereskiopsis as well soon.
 
What cacti species are you growing?
 
Various Trichocereus cacti like yourself i also have one large San Pedro with 4 pups thats doing very well and 4 Pereskiopsis they grow like weeds but was hard to find here in Canada. I also have some Lophophora williamsii. Still waiting on seeds for the grafting onto the Pereskiopsis gonna pick some up when spring is close around here.
 
I look forward to see the pepper and cactus grow you have this year!
 
Best of luck with both.
 
Thank you all!
 
@HopHead: Trichocereus cacti are awesome to grow because they grow so fast. I have a bunch of bigger ones as well that are in hibernation till spring. Good luck with your grafting!
