Thanks, I will start looking out around about then.

I want to get going on my windowsills as soon as

Need repotting

 

Hello all,

I'm late to the party this year but just put my chili seedlings into the grow tent. I started them using the paper towel method about 7 days ago and have just put them into my hydro setup (see photos). Tomatoes will follow when the grow tent is clear.

This years varieties are a little less exciting than in previous years but are all edible (not too hot) and suitable for cooking with.

They are: -
8off Large Jalapeños
4off Cayenne
4off Thai Birds Eye
2off Corno Di Torro Rosso
2off Romano
2off Giant Bell
2off King of the North
6off various spares just in case





Temperature set to 26C
200w Growlight set to 60%
Water at pH6.0 with hydro nutrients

Let's see if we can catch up.

Thank you so much,it's become a tradition to me to grow my Shiney Hybrids

 

Hello all (again),

Another update.

Chilis and Sweet Peppers have now started to grow (see photos below). The Corno Di Torro Rosso and Romana are a few days behind the others but have made some progress. I've removed most of the Humidity caps now (just 1 remaining). I need them to grow quickly now as I want to free up the growtent and get the tomatoes in there. I still think we have time but it's a little bit closer than I would normally like it.

Hydro tank 2

That's all for now.

Best regards.

I didn’t order anything online.

But I was at a local garden centre this weekend. They had a limited range some really small plug plants available.
So I got :

Scotch Bonnet
Hot Banana
Cheyenne x 3
Super Fresno

I will keep them indoors for the next two weeks or so, and will then move them into the (unheated) greenhouse.

 

5 over wintered varieties and 14 new young plants enjoying some sun for the first time.
