SineNomine 2021

Hi all!

Although I'm pretty old around here, this will be the first Glog.

I have been growing peppers on the balcony since 2014. Last year I switched everything to hydroponics and I am very happy with it.



Here is the growing list:

Hanging pots:
- Fatalii 6
- Fatalii Red 2
- Yellow Devil's Tongue 1
- Papa Joe's SB 3
- Scotch Bonnet MOA 3
- Black River SB 1

Floor pots:
- Pimiento de la Puta la Madre 3
- Lemon Drop 2
- Chile Rayado 4
- Jalapeño M 4
- NuMex Vaquero 4
- Yellow Devil's Tongue 1
- Tepin x Lemon Drop 3
- "Aji Cito" (Panama) 1

Chile Rayado.
I'm a little surprised by this pepper, they all have a hairy stem. I have never had such peppers.
 

 
I have seen it with a few annuums in the past. From the top of my hat, I can say with certainty that my Serrano last year had it, and I've had jalapeños with hairy stems as well. This year I've observed this habit only with galapagoense so far.
 
I searched for a youtube video of chile rayado and found  the one below. There are a few moments where you can notice small hairs on the stem, e.g. 1:58. HGO. is the abbreviation of (the state of) Hidalgo.

Update 26 days from sowing.
 
Tray with blue light. These is are spare seedlings.

Annuum and Baccatum
 

 

 
Numex Vaquero, they are the tallest.

 

 
Chile Rayado, they don't seem to like the bright light. In the morning the leaves are outstretched. A good sign for me because I want to plant them in the lightly shaded area.

I was gone for 3 days, some peppers are more than double the last update.
They grow faster than I want them to.
The estimated planting date is around mid-April.

It's gonna look pretty bushy in another month!

 

[SineNomine]

That's how it is. I will have to cut them drastically at some point.

I wuz gonna say the same thing 
 
Nice, big leaves. I see those units hold 40liters.
Pretty good sized.

 

[SineNomine]

Thanks! They are so beautiful during this period!
They drink water like crazy. Today I will have to complete the nutrient solution from all three trays.

 

[Wiriwiri]

Wow..those seedlings took off & how...you may have to up your plant out date if weather permits...you're doing a fantastic job .

 

[SineNomine]

Thanks!
 
It looks like the weather is warming up. Maybe I'm lucky and I can plant earlier.

A plant in the spare tray died.
I did not see him among the tall Jalapenos. Its roots did not grow enough and the water level dropped.
I put it in a glass of water, maybe it recovers.

30 days after sowing.
The first flower buds appeared on Jalapeno M and Numex Vaquero.

Numex Vaquero

 

 

[SineNomine]

Numex Vaquero, it looks like some plants that will grow tall.
They don't seem very suitable for a balcony garden. We will see...
 

 
Pimienta de la puta la madre it is much more compact. It looks like a chinense.
 

 

[SineNomine]

Chile Rayado, hairy and branched.
 

 

 

 

[SineNomine]

Chinense tray. Just because it looks great!
 

 

 

 

 

[CaneDog]

Yeah it does!

You get your tap water from Chernobyl   ?

That's why I love forums, all kinds of innovative ideas appear.
 
Numex Vaquero is alive, although he is a bit anemic.

Yeah, give it a chance, it might surprise you.
If it's not crispy, there is hope       !

That is an understatement, my friend!
