This picture is of the seeds soaked yesterday. Today I sowed the seeds of C. Chinense and C. Pubescens.
C. Chinense will all sit in the hanging pots in my balcony garden.
In 2 weeks I will sow C. Annuum. I do not have the final list of these yet because I have many seeds from which it is very difficult for me to choose. I will edit this message as I decide.

Hanging pots:
- Fatalii - V2 2022/2023 - 3 plants
- Orange Fatalii - The Hippy Seed Co (thanks MarcV) - 2 plants
- CGN 21500 - Sulsa - 1 plant
- Adjuma - thanks @Sulsa - 1 plant
- Humble Servants Homestead SB - V1 2023 (original seeds from MarcV) - 2 plants
- PI 215734 - Semillas - 4 plants (last year's revelation, I want more this year)
- Habanada - Semillas - 3 plants (the most aromatic C. Chinense without heat)

In the pot at the bottom of the balcony I will test a plant of C. Pubescens, Tatiana F6 Yellow from seeds from @CaneDog. Thank you again.
In fact, CaneDog is "guilty" for the fact that I still haven't decided what I will grow in the lower part of the balcony. He sent me so many seeds of such tempting varieties that the choice is very difficult.

Welcome to the journey of my balcony garden!


Edited March 18:

I have decided what is the growing list for the pots at the bottom of the balcony.
- Tatiana F6 - 1 plant (seeds from CaneDog 2021)
- Punjab Small Hot CP-260 - 1 plant (seeds from CaneDog 2022)
- Spezzano's Thai - 3 plants (V1 2023 / CaneDog)
- Mulato Isleno - 2 plants (seeds from CaneDog 2021)
- Canoncito - 2 plants (seeds from CaneDog 2022)
- Antep Aci Dolma - 2 plants (seeds from CaneDog 2022)
- Jalapeno Zapotec #1 - 1 plant (seeds from CaneDog 2022)
- Zapotec Jalapeno - 1 plant (seeds from CaneDog 2022) Maybe CaneDog can tell us what the differences are between them.
- Chile Rayado - 2 plants (seeds from CaneDog 2021)
- Ring of Fire Cayenne - 1 plant (seeds from CaneDog 2022)
- Orange Thai SSE - 1 plant (seeds from CaneDog 2022)
- Lesya Sweet Pepper - 2 plants (seeds from CaneDog 2022)
- Chilaca/Pasilla Mixe - 2 plants (seeds from CaneDog 2022)
Thank you so much @CaneDog !

I will have a few more small pots of Korean Hot from seeds from @Deadpouk , European seed train 2023. According to the type of envelope, they seem to come from Refining Fire Chiles.
These are very compact plants and the peppers have an excellent aroma.

that white one is just wow

 

[tsurrie]

Very good looking plants! They'll get wild now. Congrats

Things have gone bad since the last update.
I tried a new combination of nutrients and had a nutrient block. Unfortunately, I realized when the plants were already very affected. Even now they have not fully recovered. The vast majority of them do not have flowers or pods.
I am posting some pictures without any other details, I am very affected by this situation.


I cut quite a lot of a Fatalii plant to try to stimulate the appearance of flowers.


Parsley is doing very well.


This is the first harvest of the year.


L.E. Bonus: the aphids are back.

 

[CaneDog]

Not a bad little harvest there, even if you were expecting more by now. I hope things get better for you quickly with the nutrient situation fixed. There's still lots of summer time left for them to get busy.

And nice to see the sunny blue sky. That has to help!

 

[ChilliCrosser]

Hang in there, things rarely turn out as bad as you expect after you’re over the initial frustration. Plants still look a good size and with your grow system they are sure to bounce back now you’ve found the issue.

 

[SineNomine]

It's a balcony, it's a jungle, but there are no pods.
More correctly, there are no pods in the suspended area of the C. Chinense plants.
Anyway, I have a balcony jungle that makes me feel good every time I go out there.


Plants that are not Chile Rayado are exceptional producers. The pods have a good taste and a fairly intense burn. I have some isolated pods from which I will harvest seeds for next year.


Spezzano's Thai are impressive plants.



The only pod C. Chinense is a HSH Scotch Bonnet with a very beautiful shape.


Last year I grew Thai Basil and Bolloso Napoletano and it seems they crossed. I should have had Bolloso Napoletano this year, but the flavor is close to Thai Basil. I like it!
I have cut it many times so far. I will cut it again today.

Fantastic grow my friend! So clean and tidy. It makes me happy to see your wonderful balcony! Did you ever receive the seeds I sent you?

 

[SineNomine]

Thanks Anders!

Unfortunately, I did not receive the seeds you sent. As it happened with many other seeds sent by other members of this community.

 

[SineNomine]

This year was very bad for my balcony garden. But there is always hope for the coming year.
Almost all the varieties I have grown have been very good. Unfortunately, I am not very good at describing the aroma and taste.

Canoncito was disappointing. For me, he made some pods without flavor and with very little heat.

Chilaca/Pasilla Mixe makes very flavorful peppers with a good burn, but they are very tall plants and very slow to produce pods.

Mulato Isleno about the same, only I didn't feel any trace of burning.


Lesya Sweet makes excellent peppers, without the heat, they are compact and productive plants. Unfortunately, this year they produced quite late.


Adjuma have very aromatic pods with a very pleasant burn. All the pods I had (quite a few, but only because everything went wrong for me this year) were very soft, without being crunchy. I don't know if this is something specific.

Orange Fatalii is the star of this year. Thanks again @MarcV ! The aroma is amazing and a much more pleasant warmth than Fatalii. It is very good raw but also when cooked. I can say it's my new favorite.
Unfortunately, I don't have isolated seeds for next year.
I took several cuttings to try cloning. Three of them seem to have developed roots.

I will overwinter the plant I had. I hope at least one plant survives until next year.


I ordered seeds from The Hippy Seed Company, but it's already been 5 weeks and it hasn't arrived.

Thanks to those who followed this Glog, even if there wasn't much to see!

 

[SineNomine]

And on an optimistic note, the season has started for my other hobby: home whiskey production. Not that I'm bragging (LOL), but the whole configuration is my conception and realization.

 

[MarcV]

Did you build this completely by yourself?
Good to hear about that orange fatalii! Do you have pictures of the fruit?

 

[SineNomine]

I didn't do anything about the lathe and the spinning lathe.
Without these I did everything, from the project and drawing to brazing and final cleaning.

I only have these two pods from the few that I collected.

 

[CaneDog]

Wow! Your still looks amazing, SN! Sorry it was such a tough season, but the orange fatalii sounds like a bright spot. I may have to keep that one in mind for a future grow. I enjoy fatalii and you make it sound outstanding.

 

[NJChilehead]

@SineNomine that orange fatalii is a stunner!

Thanks CD! Fatalii has always been my favorite, but Orange Fatalii changed that. It is a wonderful variety!

@SineNomine that orange fatalii is a stunner!

I wish I could describe the aromas and tastes much better, but I'm not good at it. All I can say is that I love it.
I would be very upset if I can't grow it next year.
