Winter Grow in a spare bedroom

Cheers ALL!

I started this a few weeks ago. I have 4 over winter plants. Reaper, Chocolate Moruga, Cappuccino Scotch Bonnet and the fourth lol I forgot. Either not chocolate primo or PurpleghostScorpion.

Seed layout has 6 or 7 herb varieties... I currently have a few germination activity. Reaper, Lemon Drop, cilantro and chocolate Moruga... Thanks for looking.

1 of my OW's Purple Ghost Scorpion has many flowers. I kept shaking the tree. I had the fan on. Nothing. Last week, I heard someone say pollinate with an electric toothbrush. I have an old one laying around...It was amazing! Buzz buzz buzz as I hit a flower and watch the powdery pollen like a puff of smoke... now I have half a dozen peppers started! Hell yes... cheers

The electric toothbrush is awesome. I first tried it on a big rocoto plant and it was like - nothing...  nothing... and then I hit one and had a huge pollen dump come out.  It was kind of like playing a pepper slot machine. The way things are going you might have your first harvest before your peppers even get outside!
 
Hey, what is that pepper in the center bottom of the picture?

I tapped an OW plant the other day and it was like a I shook a baby powder bottle and opened it. POOF! that Valero jalapeno is an over achiever this year. hoping to taste that first pod soon.

My first grow as well. Seeds on these germinate well. I only had 1 unripe pepper to get seeds from and I do believe I gave 6 or 7 plants from it. Family get extras. That said im excited for all rocoto varieties I planted this year as they are all my first...

Looking good Bookers!  Isn't it frustrating when the plants decide to drop all those flowers? Happened once on a 3 ft tall TS and I didn't get a single pod from it before aphids took over... glad the electric toothbrush trick worked for you. 
 
Have the plants finally taken over the room? :)
 
Ok Im freaking out right now!!!! I don't know what to do other than BLAST the MFers

I have been having aphid problems, too, Bookers.
Have been mechanically removing them with brush
and tweezers, along with insecticidal soap every
couple of weeks. Finally broke down and gave the
chinense plants a good soaking with NEEM today.
Hopefully that will give the plants a little break.
 
Good luck eradicating the pests.
