Nice grow Oscar.

Dunno what's up with the Antillais Caribbean seed as they came from the same source I planted last year and they grew fine. I traded or planted all of those and have some now from THSC and haven't had any luck getting those to pop yet. If I find some more good seed I'll send ya some.

Now that idea could lead to a "hot" Valentine... :cool:

Good looking plants! Please tell me about the soil blend you are using. Looks like a lot of perlite in there. I'm new to growing peppers from seeds and need all the help I can get. Looks like you've got something right going on with your growing!

This is all for today tomorrow i will be re potting allot of young seedlings and go on some aphid hunt :( I wish we had a reseller for ladybugs here you guys in USA are soooo lucky.
One of my plants started to bud already under the MH lamp but i pinched them off.
 
Its time for another update!
I have been bussy potting up and setting up some new lamps. I bought 2 T8 fixtures and one 90w LED (paid over price) but thats whats happend when you live in small sweden.

Potting up is fun, but prob is where to put them!!! My windows are already taken by overwintred plants.
I think i need one more 90w LED or 50w LED. I want to se how good this one do before buying another one.
But i do know i need one 400w MH or a 90w UFO for sure. We will se in 2weeks.

I also will cover the walls with mylar when i got some time over. Am working full time and this is just a "hobby" ;)
Stressful hobby i may add :)

I will take some closeup pictures on individual plants later on.

Also i take of all the buds.




Under my 400w MH:

Looking good orrevs, The never ending need for supplies keeps a person busy, and poor! I'll be watching for those close ups.

How is the Hot Charleston doing for you? They grew and produced great for me last year but the plants always looked sick. Looks like yours is nice and green. Your plants are looking great :onfire:
