SineNomine 2022

It is time to start the new growth for 2022.
Link to my grow log 2021.

Last fall I kept a Tepin x Lemon Drop plant that I tried to grow as a bonchi. He's not the best candidate for that, but he looks pretty good. It even has a flower that seems to turn into a pod.

I will sow C. Chinense on February 20 and C. Annuum on March 6.

Here is the growth list:

Suspended pots:
- Fatalii - V1 2021 / Semillas - 3
- Fatalii - PaulG - 2
- Purple Thunder F4 yellow/caramel - PaulG / Pepper Guru - 2
- Trippaul Threat F3 yellow - PaulG - 1
- Papa Dreadie SB - Sawyer - 4
- Aji Jobito - Semillas - 3
- Farm Locoto - Samaipata - Pepper Guru -1 (Growdown Throwdown 2022) I hope the seeds arrive soon. The envelope has been sent for a month

Floor pots:
- Lemon Drop - V1 2021 / Semillas - 2
- Goliath Jalapeno - PaulG - 4
- Tasmanian Black - PaulG - 2
- Chilhuacle Negro - Semillas - 4
- Prik Khi Nu - Semillas - 2
- Ancho Mulato - Semillas - 3
- Tepin x Lemon Drop - V4 2021 / az1000 - 3

Growth will be hydroponic just like last year.

@Anders, yes, they will all grow outside.

@PaulG , I kept the purple plants. Of course I will post in the dedicated threads

The seeds of the second series germinated in a proportion of 72%. Less than I expected.
Soon I will have to move the seedlings from the first series to the separate tray. I'm thinking of putting them in a new perlite-based system to help transplant into permanent pots.

 

[PaulG]

That germinator really carries the starts well
to this stage. Nice healthy plantlets with 3-4
sets of true leaves. Those should transplant
quite nicely. Looking forward to seeing how
their roots systems look under there.

 

[Sulsa]

Your growsystem produces some pretty fast and healthy growing plants. You've done well building that! It seems you have a lot more fungi on the root riot cubes compared to last year, did you change anything in your m.o. this year or is it coincidence?

 

[SineNomine]

Good observation, @Sulsa . I don't know why there are more fungi. The only change is that I didn't use netpots. Maybe netpots make a better aeration.

I finished the new tray based on 1.4 l pots with perlite.
It's basically an inverted Dutch bucket, the water tank is out of the pots.

 

[SineNomine]

Today I transplanted the selected plants from the first series.

Aji Jobito from Semillas seeds.


Papa Dreadie SB from @Sawyer G3 2020 seeds.


Fatalii from my seeds 2021.


Fatalii from @PaulG .


Purple Thunder F4.


Trippaul Threat F3.


Lemon Drop from my seesds.


Tasmanian Black from PaulG.

And a picture of the new tray.

@PaulG : these two Goliath Jalapeno seem to be something else. It looks like a Variegated Jalapeno. I'll keep them.

 

[thoroughburro]

How are you constructing these trays? The finished product looks a lot more precise and better finished than the 3D printing I’ve seen before, but I can’t imagine how else you’d do it without fully industrial processes…

 

[SineNomine]

I am a design engineer in a very well equipped company. I designed those trays and pots and they are made of cnc cut plexiglass, bent and glued.
It's not hard if you have what it takes

 

[thoroughburro]

Haha, love a job with good perks! They look great.

 

[PaulG]

@PaulG : these two Goliath Jalapeno seem to be something else. It looks like a Variegated Jalapeno. I'll keep them.

The Goliath seeds came from the same stock
as Matt's variegated jalapeño, but the plant
had no variegation and the pods were long
and red, like a regular jalapeño. Interesting
to see the variegation show up in its progeny.

 

[Sulsa]

Nice set up @SineNomine !!! Impressive skills as usual!

This is really cool! I'm impressed that you are able to make something like this!

Very cool!

 

[SineNomine]

Thank you guys!
Weekly update. There is no room in the first tray. I should have transplanted, but I didn't have time to make a second tray of perlite pots. I hope to solve this in the coming days.


The plants transplanted last week are behaving well. They grow, but at a slower pace than those in the Kratky tray.
I like this system more because I think the transition to the final pots will be easier.

 

[Sulsa]

Wow! That color on the trippaul threat and purple thunder is awesome!!!
Do you know the PAR values your growlights put out?

 

[SineNomine]

I don't know the PAR value. At the leaf level are between 32,000 and 40,000 Lux measured with a phone app.
