Newril's swedish indoor grow (update: The world outside)

I've been thinking about starting a glog for sometime, but for some reason I haven't started yet.. Atleast until now
 
This is my second season, but i'm going to start with a recap of my first season. It started in late march 2014 in a little 24slot grow box and 4 months later I had built a 185cm wide, 185cm high, 79cm depth grow box and 450w och MH and 300w of T8s.
 
Season 2014 (my first)
 
bhut jolokia
carolina reaper
Thai sun chili
 
 
 
After i bought my first lights 150w mh 150 w t8. Didn't have any spare space in my little apartment so they got the dining area (since we have another table)
 

 
 
First version of my indoor ikea growbox
 

 
 
 
 
 
I didn't even get one single bhut jolokia or reaper But i did get plenty of thai chili. Anyways that the short version of 2014
 
 
 
 
 
I've started some seeds in early january (the ones on the square pots at the upperfloor) I started the ones in the bottom in the middle of february
 

 
 
 

 

 
 
I've also got 6month old purple jalapeno with some almost ripe pods.
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
I'm also struggling with a aphid infestation, but won't bother you guys with that (atleast not in this thread). You guys can check it out at http://thehotpepper.com/topic/53887-aphids/if you like.

Hi everyone, its been quite some time since last update!
 
Managed to get rid of all the aphids in my growbox, but some plants outside of it still had aphids. Forgot that aphids can grow wings and fly away to other plants. I bought more lacewings and they have eaten most of the aphids.
 
My plants have outgrown the growbox, so they block all the light and the other row of plants don't get any light. I haven't been able to move them to my balcony either since I live in sweden.
 
During the summer i transform my little balcony to a perfekt little "tiki room" so that i can eat lots of great food and rum drinks  
So I had to combine my tiki room with a outdoor grow area. Its not perfect for growing, but it won't get any better since I haven't got enough space.
 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 
The plants aren't as healthy as they could have been. Hopefully we'll get a nice summer so that they can get enough light even though they are semi shaded.

Hi everyone!
 
Its been a chilly, windy and cloudy summer here in sweden. Everything grows so slowly
 
The only good thing is that my reaper is starting to produce pods, didn't get even one pod last year.

Looking good despite the really bad weather we've had in Sweden so far
August is looking a lot better so hopefully our plants will thrive and give us plenty of peppers late in the summer.

I love the tiny reaper. That's how my Bhut looks too, tiny!
