Norwegian Kratky Grow 2022

Hi Everybody, and welcome to this growlog! I'm always looking for input and feedback!

I grow in Kratky hydro for the first time, so this should be a steep learning curve! So far I have about 70+ varieties in this grow tent (3x2m) but some plants will move to new locations as we move along.

My biggest concern isn't really that I have WAY too many plants for my limited space, my concern is all the fantastic seeds and varieties I haven't started yet
If I don't start them soon it's so late for this season. Would love to grow some more rocotos etc

The outdoor season in Norway is short and cold, so growing peppers here you have to be an optimistic idiot like me, and be prepared to use a lot of time and energy for every fruit you harvest.

I'm mostly after the tropical Caribbean chinense flavors. Habs and Scotch Bonnets (and close relatives) make up about half of my plants! Some of you may already know me from Instagram and Facebook, but I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you others!

Hi, Anders, what is the concentration of the solution? (ppm)

Hi Forestman, I have never measured the PPM. I have found peppers to be very forgiving, and seems to thrive with both half and double the recommended dose of nutrients. I usually start with half and work my way up to the recommended dose, and then maybe go above when the plant is big and full of fruits and flowers.

Good luck with those crosses!

Aji Mochero

This chili comes from the northern Andes region of Peru and has been cultivated there for over 2000 years. It’s extremely productive and fairly early flowering. Hardy for a c.chinense! The flavor profile is very fresh and citrusy. Perfect for fish etc.
Maybe not THE most interesting c.chinense flavor, but I think it could result in a very hardy, early, good producer that could do very well outside here in Norway.

I had it growing but it didn't "appreciate" the hottest period of the year. I've sown it again though, because I like its citric aroma. I've used it in jams.
