SineNomine 2023

In this picture are 2 Dwarf Chiltepin from seeds from Semillas that sprouted on February 15. One of them shows signs of starting to branch out. A very nice growth habit for this variety. One of them will turn into a bonchi.

An hour ago, I soaked the C. Chinense seeds in a solution of 2% saltpeter in distilled water.



I will leave it for 2 hours, after which I will empty the saltpeter solution and put a solution of H2O2 0.3% plus Rhizotonic 1% for almost 24 hours..
Tomorrow I will put C. Chinense seeds in Root Riot cubes.

It's on now! Looking forward to this year's version of the balcony jungle.

Looks like those dwarf chiltepin have been growing quickly if they sprouted only about 2 weeks ago

I need to start with the soaking next season to avoid probable trouble right on start but need to do some reading first.

Good luck with the season Vivian.

CD, I often look at pictures like this in anticipation of what will happen.

It is the most delayed start since growing peppers. I hope this makes transplanting out more fluent.
These Dwarf Chiltepin are great plants. I can't wait to see the little bushes formed.

Good luck with the season Vivian.

Thank you, Uros!
Soaking the seeds is not infallible. This is the first year I use saltpeter. I hope it will work!

 

[MarcV]

It's going to be a jungle again, I see it coming already!
I haven't got your seeds planted currently and feel a bit sorry about this. I think I'm going to do a season with all gifted seeds that I have in my seed box. This could be a good idea for next season...

 

[SineNomine]

After 15 hours of soaking, I put the seeds in the Root Riot cubes. Under the tray is a warm blanket. The temperature of the nutrient solution is now 25°C (77°F).


Now follows the most difficult period of growth, that of waiting for the first hooks.
Did I do everything right? Did I make a mistake somewhere?

A warm blanket, do you mean one of those electric blankets meant for people? If so, that's rather smart, never thought of using that.

It seems like your pampering the little seeds. You're such a good plant dad.

The bountiful balcony is on its way

 

[Downriver]

Always a sigh of relief when I see you start your glog @SineNomine. I enjoy following your progress each season and seeing your balcony in all its' glory. Best of luck this season!

 

[Ratatouille]

Now I'm intrigued. Following along for your jungle balcony to be.

 

[Mildfruit]

Great start!
Do you use the acidic solution to prevent helmet heads or to improve germination rates?

Great use for a bronchi plant

I'm not that smart, it's a translation mistake. That's actually what it's about.

I am looking forward to the warm time of the year.

Thanks Downriver! It is a joy to know that you are following my glog.

Welcome Ratattouile! There is room for everyone in my balcony garden.

Great start!

Thanks Mildfruit!
To improve germination.
Initially, I wanted to use saltpeter only for some seeds from 2018, but then I said that it is not bad if I soak all the seeds in it. I hope it will be as I planned!
I also have high hopes for this bonchi. I have had several unsuccessful attempts in this sense.

I'm not sure if yours has this safety feature, but when I tried to use a small heating blanket for my Aerogarden I realized that it shuts off automatically after 1.5 hours. That's why I went with the aquarium heater instead.

 

[PaulG]

Glad to see you getting geared up for a new grow, Vivian!
Best of the new grow season to you!

Mine works non-stop. It is very good for the germination period.
Probably the aquarium heater would also be good, but it should also have a thermostat. Good to know.

Glad to see you getting geared up for a new grow, Vivian!
Best of the new grow season to you!

Thanks @PaulG !
I'm glad you're here! I hope you will return to active presence on the forum soon.

Thanks @PaulG !

Just not a whole lot going on at this
point my friend! But will be sure
chime in now and then!

Some very tasty annuums on your growlist this year!
Here's to a great season

 

[ChilliCrosser]

Nearly time to make up those warning signs to display at the base of the building: WARNING: Hot Peppers Overhead

Always look forward to seeing your balcony grows, have a great season!

Thanks! Yes, I hope to have some tasty powders this fall!

5 days after sowing, an Aji Dulce Amarillo and a PI 215734 sprouted.
