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.

Purple Thunder are the laziest. This is emerged on march 2.

Trippaul Threat are three different types of three sprouts. Purple stem - purple cotyledons, green stem - green cotyledons, purple stem - green cotyledons.

Yesterday I put the second round of seeds, C. Annuum. I added Vezena Piperka from Croatian Seeds to the growing list.

Peace!

I hope you stay safe from the disaster unfolding
in Eastern Europe, @SineNomine. I can't believe
this is happening. I remember the russian tanks
rolling into Hungary when I was a lad. Putin is in-
sane. Threatening nuclear war? What an ass.

On a brighter note, I am glad to see some Purple
Thunder and Trippaul Threat seedlings in your
grow, Thanks for giving those a chance!

Viva Ukraine!

Peace!

I'm worried too, and for you it is even closer!

Thank you, Paul, for all the seeds you sent me!

 

[Deadpouk]

same here, I'm crossing my fingers that the situation doesn't get even worse.
We have no idea what he is really capable of.

youre little seed starting system is really neat, love it! good luck with your grow

 

[SineNomine]

Thanx, Thibaut! @Deadpouk, good luck with your impressive list of varieties.
My germination tray is not that small, it has 72 cells.
A picture of the current seedlings.

 

[PaulG]

@SineNomine - looks like you have room
for a few more seeds, Vivian!

 

[SineNomine]

There would still be room for seeds in the 4 empty cells, @PaulG, but I wouldn't have room to put them when they grow.
Unfortunately, my space is limited to 37 pots.
In fact, I'm glad I made room on my balcony for so many pots.

 

[MarcV]

Must be quite a balcony! 37 fully grown chilli plants take quite a bit of space!

 

[skullbiker]

Maybe you could share-crop on your neighbors balconies and give them a third of the pods!

Yes, @MarcV, but not as big as I would like. Some plants do not have ideal conditions, but this is ...

@skullbiker, I donate all the extra plants to friends who have a yard. Usually all the pods are returned to me. 1-2 pods are enough for them.

You have good friends.

 

[Deadpouk]

quick question about root riot cubes, are yours always touching water in your system?

 

[SineNomine]

@Deadpouk, during germination I try to keep about 10-15 mm of root riot cubes in the water. For safety I added a wick taken from a mophead on each cube.
After the roots grow, I will reduce the water level like a kratky system.
I'll be back with a picture.

 

[SineNomine]

I'll be back with a picture.

The first hooks emerged in the C. Annuum series.


Purple Thunder F4. I like the color.


Trippaul Threat F3 too. I will keep the purple plants.

 

[MarcV]

Wow those purple seedlings look really... purple! I should really grow one again too (but let's first see if I can grow any variety properly again...)

 

[SineNomine]

Today I selected and left only one seedling in each cube.

 

[PaulG]

So nice, @SineNomine! I hope you will post the
progress of the Trippaul Threat and Purple Thunder
in their respective dedicated Grow Log threads!
Not unusual to see some green-foliage seedlings
in the F3 of the Trippaul Threat v2.

Looks like the start of a great season for you. And
I love checking out all your gadgets!

 

[Anders]

Looks like a pro my friend! Are these going outside later in the season? Some nice varieties in your list!
