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.

What an absolute bummer Vivi - hope your season picks up

 

[tsurrie]

Beautiful Bird pepper plant. Damn weather, it always depends on how the dice is rolled ...

 

[PaulG]

Good luck recovering from the onslaught, @SineNomine.
That’s enough to make a grown man cry!

 

[MarcV]

Is that Zimbabwe bird still in the 1.5l pot?

 

[SineNomine]

Yes Marc, it is in the same pot from the seedling stage.
I have that plant in my office and there were no other flowering peppers around so all those pods were isolated. I have a lot of seeds for those who want it.

Some pictures from today.

Goltiath Jalapeno from @PaulG , one of the most beautiful and resistant plants on the balcony.

Piment d´Espelette from Semillas.

Piment d´Espelette from @MarcV .

Jeromin from @MarcV .

De Arbol from Semillas.

Chile Rayado from @CaneDog ,I hope he recovers.

Jalapeno Zapotec from @CaneDog . This plant remained dwarf. It has been showing signs of growing for a few days.

Spezzano's Thai from @CaneDog . Still no pods.

Fatalii

HSH Scotch Bonnet from MarcV, the only plant that survived..

Today's "big" harvest.
Piment d'Espelette. Those on the left are from seeds from MarcV, those on the right from Semillas. The ones from Marc seem to be bigger, but this year is not the best to make comparisons.

[Nulle]

They look like they're getting better, fortunately :-)
What do you use to make the name tags for the plants?

 

[MarcV]

The espelettes seem very similar if not identical. The ones that I grow are usually longer with less pronounced shoulders. Probably all related to growing conditions. Mine are still far from ripening...

Thank you! Yes, the plants are starting to look better. I hope I will have at least one harvest this year.
I use this printer for labels.

I hope to receive more pods this year so we will see how they develop. I tasted a semi-dry one and the aroma is very good, but without heat.

 

[SineNomine]

The two De Arbol are full of flowers and pods.

 

[DWB]

I like your pots.

 

[SineNomine]

Only now Spezzano Thai from seeds from @CaneDog made its first flowers.
I don't know if this is their growing habit or if it is just the result of the general problems of this year.
The petals have purple hues. Is this variety a C. Annuum?

 

[Tinkerbelle]

Mine had the same purple-ish flowers and the peppers so far are a creamy white colour

Glad they're coming along for you now, SN. They haven't been the fastest of producers for me, but not particularly slow either. Also fairly average with pod production, not big batches, but reasonable amounts. I've seen a purple hue, but it's been more faint than dark. And yep, c. annuum.

Yep. As expected. The creamy color of the unripe pods stands out as does their elongated somewhat twisted shape. They'll ripen through some color shades too on their way to red.

Thanks, CaneDog. Maybe they just waited to grow enough to reach the stronger light coming over the railing. I have had varieties that did the same. The disadvantages of the balcony garden...

I hope to see the color of the peppers this year.


Some unsorted pictures, from today, with the balcony. The plants grew beautifully only vegetatively, some do not even have a single pod. But I'm not sorry, I like to drink a beer surrounded by vegetation.

 

[CaneDog]

Looks like a lot of good growth and more than a few pods!

I like to drink a beer surrounded by vegetation.

One of the many benefits of a balcony jungle!

 

[SineNomine]

Finally, most of my plants started to produce quite well. Unfortunately, some of them will not get to ripen their pods.
@CaneDog 's Spezzano's Thai thin pods look almost phosphorescent at night.

But the plants look pretty good in the daylight too.

 

[SineNomine]

De Arbol are beautiful and very productive plants. I continuously picked those small pods, very aromatic, with a slight smoky note and quite hot.

Tap de Corti from @MarcV shows that it can be very productive.

Jeromin from @MarcV makes large and tasty pods with a very good heat. I dried several pods to make a powder.

Jaranda from @MarcV , looks quite similar to Jeromin.

 

[SineNomine]

Goliath Jalapenos from my seeds, original from @PaulG , remain some of the most productive plants this year. They will always have a place in my balcony garden.

Zapotec Jalapeno and Chile Rayado from @CaneDog made pods quite late. The pods are small, I haven't tasted them yet.

 

[SineNomine]

Piment d'Espelette have many pods that I hope to ripen until the cold comes. I put pods to dry, I'm curious how my powder tastes compared to the powder bought from Pays Basque.

The biggest surprise of the year is Pi 215734. This one has a very fruity aroma that I can't compare to any other Chinense and a lighter heat. I will grow it in the following years.
