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

Good stuff, Sine. It really does look like a jungle from the street view!

 

[Downriver]

Great harvest SN, and I agree with CD. The street view is awesome! Definitely a topic of conversation among passerbys.

How's the flavor of Fatalii Red?
I'm not too fond about the prototypical chinense perfumey/flowery flavor and I much prefer bhuts and some red/brown supers.
Congrats for the huge harvest!

Thank you!
For neighbors in the area, the balcony is already a common sight. There are a few years in which they have been able to get used to this.

@Datil, for me Fatalii Red does not resemble the aroma of Fatalii Yellow. It has a fruity aroma, slightly sweet and the spiciness is much lighter and less aggressive than the Yellow Fatalii. The taste is far from Bhuts.

I have some more pictures of the harvest.
Papa Joe's SB, my seeds.

Pimienta de la puta la madre.

Jalapeno M si Numex Vaquero. I do not feel differences in taste between them.

 

[SineNomine]

At the current harvest, we harvested a total of approximately 9.5 kg of pods.

I didn't weigh the first harvest so accurately. All I know is that the Fatalii were almost 1.5 kg.

 

[CaneDog]

Man, that bowl of red jalapenos looks so good...

 

[SineNomine]

I cut the "jungle". Many shoots had grown very vegetatively and moved away from the light. He would never have given flower buds.

I just got rid of the aphids and now the stinking bugs (Nezara viridula) have appeared.

 

[SineNomine]

Some of the pods have dried.

 

[SineNomine]

I harvest some more today.

 

[SineNomine]

The first ferment of this year: Fatalii, Papa Joe's SB, dehydrated plums, blueberries, kapia paprika pepper, sweet onion, ginger, garlic.
I misestimated the volume. The 1 gallon jar was too full and I put another part in another jar.

 

[SineNomine]

Autumn landscape. It's 18 ° C and it's been raining for two days.

 

[SineNomine]

Today I put two more sauces to ferment.
The large 12 l jar contains Fatalii, Scotch Bonnet, Devil's Tongue, berries, carrots, sweet onions, garlic.
The 1 gallon jar is the same as the one above to which I added golden raisins.

 

[SineNomine]

This would be the last harvest for this year.
From the beginning of August, the aphids took control, but the plants resisted well. I didn't spray anymore because I was in full harvest. I will soon start removing the plants and sterilizing the perlite.

Spectacular finish to a great season, @SineNomine !

Love those bowls full of pods, great color.

 

[talas]

[SineNomine]

End of season here. Yesterday I cut all the plants. The balcony is empty and sad.


I picked 900g of Annuum. They will pickle.


And almost 2.4 kg of green Chinense. I don't know what to do with them. Suggestions?


Thanks to everyone who watched this glog.

 

[Downriver]

Thoroughly enjoyed your glog this year @SineNomine .

Great pics and nice harvests.

Thanks for sharing!

Job well done, @SineNomine

Balcony looks empty, alright, Vivian, but that means
you now can relax a little and enjoy the fruits of your
labor. Looking forward to seeing your grow log next
season!
