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

Great setup! Never heard of the Whore Mother pepper. Are the wicks reliable?  I may have to leave my peppers unattended for a week and have thought about using a wicking system.  Best wishes on you grow.

I sowed on February 7th.
Today they germinated:
- Red Fatalities - 2
- Papa Joe’s SB - 1
- Scotch Bonnet MOA - 1
- Pimiento de la Puta la Madre - 1
- Chile Rayado - 1
- NuMex Vaquero - 1
- Tepin x Lemon Drop - 2
 
I'll be back with pictures tomorrow.

Thanks!
Pimiento de la Puta la Madre. I use Google translate and ...

They are good for this germination period. Plants need a little water. When the roots grow, I will switch to the Kratky system.

Nice list.  Are your suspended plants going to be hydroponic also?  It will be interesting watching your grow.  
Good luck this year.

 

[SineNomine]

Thank you!
All peppers grown on the balcony are in a hydroponic system.
I put a picture from July 2020 with half a balcony.

Very nice set-up. Really solid construction. Are all
those Air Pots?  Really awesome use of your balcony
space.
 
BTW,   to the glogosphere!
What is the climate like in your part of 
Romania?

 

[SineNomine]

Thanks, Paul!
"Holy cow" is allowed.
 
The pots are made by me. I am lucky to work in a factory where I have a lot of technology at my disposal.

 

[PaulG]

Okay, That really deserves a HOLY COW!
 
They make a really tidy and well designed
grow space.

I like PaulG's system. I hope there are no problems if I write the same.

Some great results there, SN!

 

[SineNomine]

Yes, this year has started well.
No seeds were soaked.
I'm glad I have a Fatalii out in just 6 days.

 

[Tybo]

Great seed start!  I recently read where someone did a test with soaking seeds in different solutions and not soaking.  The seeds that weren't soaked actually germinated faster.  Wish I had bookmarked that site.
What grow media are you using in your pots?  Coco Coir?

 

[SineNomine]

Thanks, Tybo!
Root Riot Plant Starter Cubes I have in netpots.
I made a nutrient solution with demineralized water (for a low EC), Canna Start and Canna Rhizotonic.

 

[SineNomine]

This is the third year I am cultivating Tepin x Lemon Drop. Every year I noticed that many plants come out with a single cotyledon. Now I have 3 out of 5.

Sorry, I should have said what is the grow media in the pots on your balcony?  Guess I got in a hurry.
