It really did happen! (a mid season narrative by chile_freak)

Being a chef, I have little free time. most of what i do have I spend w/ the little lady, over attending to my peppers and other vegetables and of course here! It has been said Pics or it didnt happen, well here's proof that it did, last year was my first ever season growing, this is the second,unfortunately I had no time start a traditional seed to pod glog, but here is a shot nonetheless.

these are the last 40 or so that still need to go into their final homes

Your welcome. How old is your fatalli??

 

[chile_freak]

sanarda,
if i remember correctly, she sprouted the last week of february, that would make her what 4 months old now! She has been in a 17 gallon pot since she was about 6 inches tall and she has been growing by leaps and bounds ever since, potted in a mixture of sphangum peat moss, perlite, stone, and pine bark, w a little plantone for mycorrizhae and fed w/ fish emulsion and seaweed extract once a week lots of flowers now, cant wait for the pods, Fatalii is one of my favorite non supers!

wonderful.. Next season that is my mix for sure.. I am in the ground so I hope I get the same results.. Wonderful grow!!!

ive got 75 or so in the ground this year, and its funny, it seems that even though i ammended the soil, w/ 2 truckloads(and i mean this literally) of manure, that my plants in the ground seem to short nitrogen and high in phosphorus, cuz they dont grow anywhere near as quick as my containers and they start trying to bloom when they are still very small go figure anyway thanks for watching
