Peter S - 2017 grow

Here's my grow so far for this year. I started these early January. The large peppers in the basement are over winters. I'm trying to get my grow down, to around half (or a little more) than last year. I'm hoping this will be more manageable and less wasted peppers  My grow methods this year will be Kratky (fill and forget and static nutrient level systems), self watering containers (diy earthboxes), and grow bags with potting mix on drip system fed with Master Blend. Also will continue to run some indoor hydro using DWC and sprayaponic methods. All my peppers will be fed with mix of MasterBlend, Magnesium Sulfate and Calcium Nitrate.
 
Here're my overwinters, hard to distinguish from this angle, but the back left is Jamaican Hot Chocolate, back right is Yellow Chiltepin, front left is Thai Dragon and right is Tien Tsin.
 

 
Peppers in AeroGarden Bounty. Back center is D3's Aji Painapple f2, front right is Yellow Dystopia, back left is Sugar Rush Peach and in front of that a 7-Pot Primo. Of all my AeroGarden peppers, the Painapple will stay in the bounty, and everything else will be transplanted to something else.
 

 
In the foreground here on right is Brazilian Red Olive, and beside it is a Reaper x Moruga f3. AeroGarden has a Cereja da Amapa, Andy's King BOC, Chocolate Unreaper, Aji Charapita and 7-Pot Chaguanas Yellow.
 

 
A bunch here included in my grow list below.
 

 
New low-pressure aeroponic/sprayaponic/soakaponic system with a Helios Hab, and beside it in cups are D3's El Scorponero f2, Puerto Rican Yellow and Peach Moruga Scorpion.

Amazing grow that just keeps getting better, you got the magic touch round plants Peter. Love the sunflowers and companion gardening to bring in the good guys. We use marigolds here as bees love them. Always a great update.

Thanks Sim! I like the sunflowers. They don't require any maintenance and look pretty. I'll probably save a bunch of the seeds for next year.

Video of my office plants, three are being grown using the Kratky method next to a western facing window. The other three are in an AeroGarden.

Looks great in the aerogarden!  Getting some tomatoes, all right!
The dwarf piquin looks amazingly prolific.

Thanks. Yeah piquin is going to look pretty when the little peppers all start turning ripe.

Love your videos, Peter.

I've never grown a plant to full maturity using my aerogardens. I may have to give it a try. I use it for plant starts only. Do you prune the roots as well?

Update from today.

I have pruned the roots for larger plants in the AeroGarden, it seems to help.

Great vid. Peter !  Grow is looking fine

Upping the feeds has really helped with the plants looking so healthy, and a really nice lush green. Plants are loading up nicely, and always a great sight seeing peppers ripening.
Love the look of the little yellow tepin fruits.
Great update Peter, seasons going well.

Thanks Sim! Yes, I'm excited about the yellow tepins. Was kind of hard to germ, then had the plant indoors forever. It seems to be doing well outside in the Kratky style bucket.

Thanks Sim! I don't know what strain the Chocolate Bhutlah is. Seeds were given to me by a fellow grower on the Google plus pepperlovers community, Anthony Nunez/Nunez Pepper Garden. Here's some posts with pics he shared a while back.

WOW! Your plants look FANTASTIC, Peter! Awesome job! Still waiting to get a single ripe pod, up here in New England hahaha

 

[Superhot Sim]

Amazing plants that are just loaded Peter. You sure have the magic touch.
Datil looks super productive and your yellow Dystopia is one of the best gnarly looking phenos I have seen. Great work buddy.
