Stefan your plants look fantastic! Thanks for the updates on the SB7J's. I ended up with one, possibly two that made it. Looking at all these new seedlings are you sure the 220m squared garden is going to be big enough?

Thanks, Patrick. About the SB7J's both seeds I planted actually germinated and they both are about the same height (bit taller then on the picture above). They are still slow growers, but they are forming buds and one is about too open very soon

Can't wait too see some pods on it. Both are going into the greenhouse as soon the risk of frost gone.

Holy Habanero chocolate lightning.... Did you sell your cow for those seeds?

Not my cow but a chicken, anyhow it's my fault it got so tall (about 27 inches). I left it standing on the floor for like 3 weeks and as you can see it wanted light

All of those plants look like skyscrapers! They will simply
erupt when they get out to the greenhouse!

Small update on the problem seedlings, by the looks of it most of them will survive and are forming bigger and new leaves. Here's a few pictures.

Good to see the problem seedlings getting their act together Stefan, congrats!

Looking at the larger plants the stems on those babies are thick, you got a fan working them? Redwood peppers!

No problems with the seedlings, they just look a little wet, the new growth looks fine and the yellow leaves will just drop. Keep the soil on the dry side. If you don't have holes in the cups the water will have no place to drain (mold). Your big plants look "Super!"

Thanks, Pat! Yeah I did have a fan running from time too time, but removed it when it got too crowded :lol:

As soon as those seedlings are bigger I will install it again.

Thanks, Greg. Yeah I still tend too give them too much water, although I should know better by now. Thanks for the heads-up

The cups have holes so the water can drain.

Thanks for the seeds, Patrick

Habanero Bazuka flower, my apologies for the poor quality (I use my smartphone to make pictures). This one is also forming a pod already like alot of other plants are doing also.

Nice. Still going strong. You are going to need a vacuum sealer and a dehydrator at the end of this season! I'm sure it's in here somewhere, but I'm being lazy. What is your soil mix? Is that coco?

Yeah, it's coco. Since I didn't want any bugs in the house because of the soil I used this. The mix is with some perlite and vermiculite. Later on when I repot it's only coco and perlite.

HMMM, Stefan, your smart phone must be a lot smarter than mine!!!!!!!!

Pr0digal_son · Apr 3, 2012

That bazuka flower is pretty sweet. I know what it is like using a phone for pics. It can be frustrating. Looks like you have mastered it though.

PaulG · Apr 4, 2012

The seedlings and plants look great!
The flower pix are awesome.

This is the first year I'm growing them as well, but they are a cross that 2 members discovered if I remember correct. The pods color when ripe looks rusty and their mother is a Bhut Jolokia. No idea yet on how they taste

Nice update! The Habanero Cap Nugget is an awesome
little plant - should produce well for you. I notice pods
forming on the others, won't be long, now! Good luck
going forward.
