Let's see the pictures:
 
[2013-03-01] Most of the seeds (Judy, Grant, Neil, Candice, Semillas, Ford's Fiery Food, eBay/premier_seeds_direct)

[2013-03-14] I put the seeds in papertowel for a few days before planting:

[2013-03-18] A few more seeds arrived (BOC; Jwala; Hungarian Death), I also made some labels from plastic bottles:

[2013-03-20] Workspace:

[2013-03-20] A few seeds already started sprouting (Rocoto San Isidro):

[2013-03-20] The weather was good inside the polytunnel

[2013-03-20] I labeled ~1.500 pots, the other seeds were in trays:

[2013-03-26] After sowing most of the seeds:

[2013-03-26] Polytunnel inside a polytunnel. The temperature at night was still a bit cold, after a few days we had some really cold nights (-10C), so I even had to install 2 heaters:

Nice spread of peppers.

[Sawyer]

That list is getting on up there.  Did you put any voltage control or current limiters into your LED PS circuitry?  I think you've said previously, but I forget, how much outdoor/greenhouse space do have to plant in?

 

[Trident chilli]

Great list ... very impressive

 

[R014ND3R]

Just the PSU, no voltage control/limiters.
We have multiple greenhouses (total area: 5.500m2), but will use only ~750m2 for chilies + we also have 1.000m2 outdoor space (I always plant more seeds than I can place in the greenhouse, those will be planted outside).

[HAJ]

 

C. baccatum:
Pepperdew 'Chocolate'
 

 
Impressive list. Are the Pepperdew 'Chocolate' growing like a baccatum this far ?

 

[R014ND3R]

The leaves look more like a C. annuum. Asked the seller, but did not get an answer yet. It is possible that it's a Chocolate Cherry pepper.
Will report when I have ripe pods.

 

[R014ND3R]

Welcome back, and congratulations!  Nice product line.  How are sales and marketing going?

 

[R014ND3R]

Sorry again for the late answer, I was super busy.
Thank you, I also have Dedo de Moca and Carolina Reaper powder.
Last week I added 3 more products, Jalapeno, Habanero and Bhut Jolokia powder on keychain.
This is me selling on a local festival 2 days ago:

The sales are a bit slow, but we are working on it.
At the moment we are planting the chilies in the greenhouse (around 1.000 plants), after that in a few weeks we will plant the sweet peppers outside (around 8.000 plants).

 

[az1000]

Welcome back!
Good luck with the sales!

 

[R014ND3R]

Finally managed to have some time to post updates about this year.
 
This year we have a really big quantity of sweet pepper (tv paprika and kapya):



Also sell fresh jalapenos in 250ml boxes:


And keychain filled with different powders:


At the moment we are harvesting the jalapenos, finished 2 rows, got one more row to pick:
stemmed, ready for dehydrating (these are going to be powders, fresh weight: 82kgs):


the green ones (also stemmed) will be pickled, the remaining red ones will be smoked:


As always, we tried some rare varieties this year, here is the current favorit, Murupi Amarela. From 5 plants I picked 7kgs, and the green ones are still on them. Extremely prolific variety, with a really sweet taste in the beginning. Not that hot though.


We had a fun weekend in Boga Valley, Romania, made a few pictures for marketing, here is one:



Also had our 7th Chili Eating Contest, here is the intro for it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiV31V2g978

Hope you liked the pictures, will try harder to post more frequently.
