Meatfreak 2013

With some delay I sowed last sunday, 24 february. First I had doubts to start at all since it was already getting late in season but with all the varieties (thanks to all the great people I traded with!) I wanted to try I had to give it a try

Keep in mind that the list was over 100 varieties, so I trimmed it down a lot. I intend to keep the 2 strongest plants of each variety except for the Piment d'Espelette. Some seeds are already old like the CGN (±8 years), so I got replacements in case the have popped up in 2 weeks.

The first one to germinate after 3 days was the Coyote Zan White (C. Chinense). The rest followed quickly

Thanks for the kind words, everyone! I know I said it before but this is my last ambitious grow, it just consumes to much time I actually I don't have. So if I start talking about sowing a lot of varieties next season, please be so kind to remind me :lol:

She sure does, Gary! I just hope the second one is as sweet a child she is (so far that is ;)). Today she tried to eat a leaf of one of my plants she's gotten to :lol:

Stefan,
Thinking about cutting back on the (scotch bonnet) pepper production for next year ?
I'll have one more for you to try first, mon........lol
Click to expand...
 
Yeah, Greg. Think it would be a wise thing to do but you never know :) maybe when I got my garden the way I want to I can raise the amount of plants again.
 
Today I got to work some more on the tunnel. The front is finished now, although I need to replace the poly that's in the door. The ground in the garden is way to wet and it's completely saturated which makes working with it a lot harder. No plant out yet since we are having some frost tonight and the next coming days  :eh: Forecasts are saying it ain't getting much better the 2 following weeks..

Saturated ground, big mud pool.

Shoot Stefan, that's a big Unlike right there... Boo to frost! The hoophouse is looking good though. Hopefully the weather co-operates with you soon so you can get planted out. Cheers bro'

Yeah I know, Rick. It's the end of May and there's some frost going on. I pray June is gonna be the month that the temperature will get better.

Ok, no fans? I feel like a stoner having a tent up. Everyone is commenting on it, as 99% use it for weed growth..... "dude, its just pepper, hot ones" with the reply "yeah, right dude" :) But it seems like your tent is doing the trick, so 6400K, hmm.... thanks for sharing. We have somewhat the same climate, yours a little bit warmer than mine tho

Yeah, I have 2 fans in there, sorry forgot to mention that. At the moment our climate isn't much warmer :lol: 1°C tonight.

Stefan I love the size on your HooperGreenHouse and I see a frame behind too, are you rigging up both?
Grow on mon!!!
Click to expand...
 
Yeah, Ramon. It's actually 1 frame between I divided it into 2 separate ones so I can switch every year from veggies, plus they heat up quicker and ventilation is better. The first one, ±40m², is actually for my tomatoes, cukes, pickles, okra and some other varieties that need the warmth. The one behind it is purely for my peppers, ±50m². Thanks to the  :censored:  :censored: weather over here I haven't been able to put the foil onto the second one. The first one is ready now so I will be finally planting out, also put a couple of trays with pepperplants in it so they can adjust already.
 
Lost about 10 Chinense plants due to the disease now... I have absolutely no idea what kind of disease it is, but it starts at the leaves and once it's in the stem it spreads throughout the entire plant and looks like they rot? Never seen anything like it before and wondering where the hell it could come from :( So far it only effects the Chinense  :pray:  :pray:
