Trippa's 2023/2024

Back again and trying to get my first decent grow going in a few years.
Experimenting a little with an aeroponics setup for some of my starts.
Not certain how that will go but taking a punt.

Have a bunch of different varieties down from varying age seeds (some from 2011-12 right through to 2022 all stored in fridge since early 2015)

Most seem to be doing as they should and germinating. Some are being a little stubborn as expected.

Once germinated they are going under a 500-600 watt LED panel with extra natural light in the greenhouse on a heat mat.

Only thing I am lacking is a fan to get some more robust/less leggy seedlings which you can see in the seedling pictures.

Multiple strains of myself and PaulG's Trippaul threats plus PaulG's Purple thunder among many others.

I also have my three outdoor Pubescens which are in their 8th year happily overwintering with pods still. Biggest one of those is probably 8ft high. Needs a trim back currently.

Will try to sporadically update as I go along.

Always nice to see our southerner growers getting started as it gives us northerners something to follow during our dark winter days.
Good luck with your season, Trippa!

Oh, and those pube's are ridiculous!

Thanks Canedog!!
Still very much winter here as well I am afraid... Starting to feel a little more like spring now with some sunnier days (still cool) (highs around 15-16C) although the night time temps are cool (frequent frosts ) and as always I started a little late to be absolutely ready for spring proper with some older plants
The Pubescens look great in summer ... Hundreds and hundreds of pods and thousands of flowers .... Must really love this outdoor climate !

Welcome to the glogosphere, Tristen! So great to see you
back in the saddle. I assume you have got your greenhouse
squared away, can’t wait to see pictures!
 
Thanks Paul!!
I had my greenhouse sorted. But then bathroom renovations started and it became a makeshift intermediate store shed for new items/removal shed for old so it is still full of a new shower and various old items from the bathroom (including a six foot long enameled cast iron clawfoot bath)
So it has a corner space cleared currently. Will only take photos of the actual plants for now (save some embarrassment of my mess!)
 
Update on the chilli children.... had a bunch not germinate from another round of seeds and have a fresh lot of new varieties down for germination currently. Probably pushing the time frame on them but will see what eventuates.
The current plants are all due for a pot up now. Just need to fit it in between bathroom renovations and an impending family number extension!!
