My Dad had a pepper I really enjoyed so I decided to grow my own. I'm not a total newbie but I need help. The pepper is a mild pepper named Aji Dolce with that wonderful habanero flavor without the burn. I like hot peppers but my wife does not so we can cook with habanero flavor and I can add heat after the fact.
My seeds were started on January19 and a week later. I used jiffy peat pellets for the second batch and a hydroponic peat cube for the first batch. Seeds were soaked in saltpeter for 24 hours prior to planting.
Lighting is six T5 bulbs with daylight spectrum in mirror polished fixture about 16" above the table top. Light cycle is 18/6.
Up potted in 3" jiffy pots with Calloway's Black Gold natural and organic potting soil plus fertilizer. Soaked the plants in sea weed extract (two ounces per gallon) and potted. Watered in with reverse osmosis water as tap water here is chlorinated.
I'm sorry I wanted to upload pictures but Flickr is not cooperating. I'm using the iPad maybe that is the problem. I cant seem to copy and paste the URL.
