The last years record has been broken, the growth rate is incredible, and the great thing is,
they are growing pods already, not just leaves and stems.
Another great thing is that the season will be very long.
More updates to follow soon!

Looking great man! Just love the GH
Jeah, the pictures looking good. As soon as we get to eat fresh aji cristals
Looking good and can not wait to get your chilies on the table again.
Waow! Some nice trees you got there ;D Those chillies sure look tasty!
I spot you've had some minor bug problems and are taking care of it the eco way with predator bugs (picture right below the pod shots)? Always nice to see that.
Looks like you're going to have a killer harvest (again) this year.
Actually, those predators bugs are always used as pre-caution to keep attackers away... :)

Ah cool. Didn't knew that was effective. But I guess in that big of a greenhouse some pest is bound to show up anyhow. What kind of pests show up the most in a setup that large?
Amazing! Those pepperes are really growing fast Jukka! When will we find your peppers in a supermarket in sweden:)
Sooo, when can I buy them!? *Droooool*
Patahontas, all you need to do is to ask wholesale sellers to contact me and that is possible to arrange... :)
Anyways, here are a few updated pics of the huge greenhouses:
This picture was taken 12 days ago, 9th of may.

WOW! Can´t wait to get those mouthwatering chilies...you´re the master Jukka!
Yes, it´s true you´re master! :o
Nice work and garden too ;D can you tell me how kind of fertilizers you used for this plants and when you stoped?
And what predators you used? I know Aphidius colemani for plant-louse and this year I want try Phytoseiulus persimilis... But true is, it´s only as pre-caution...
Do you have some tips how pollinate or how bugs can pollinate ten or more flowers in smaller greenhouse?
So have a nice day and thank´s for time! 8)
We... hunger.... brai...chilies.... chilies!
Predators being used are targeted for spesific pests, so sometimes it's good to use different kinds of predators.
Anyways, a few new pics here:

Only three words I can say:
Abso Lutely Fabulous!
Those look delicious, can't wait for them to hit the stores (although my own are producing well so far!). Any ETA?
Whats your favourite maturity level to eat them at? I'm thinking of using some fresh in salads.
They are available in the markets in Finland already.
If you can't find them at your local market, ask your market personnel to get them from their wholesale dealer.
My favorite stage to eat them is between the green and red.
The fruitiest, most unique taste is definitely before ripening.
I like green ones more with most cooking more than as red.
They are still better than any annuums I have tasted in fully matured stage too.
When mixing Aji Cristal -butter, I use green or orange ones.
That will result as a best taste after few hours.

Just bought (and ate too) a case of those beautiful Aji Cristals, the taste was suberb - just like I remembered from last year! Fresh with a mild to medium heat. Exellent product!
I was a bit disappointed, when a realised that the amount of pods in one box. Only three or four. And the prize gone a bit up from last year also. There's a lot of discussion about this product in the finnish conversation, maybe Fatalii would like to say a word or two there? http://chilifoorumi.fi/index.php?topic=6281.msg100757#new (http://chilifoorumi.fi/index.php?topic=6281.msg100757#new)
Asked today the local S- market to get some fatalii ac but the shop owner claimed that at least in the inex partners wholesale thy are not available for order, only some shitty dutch chili... Can you confirm inex partners has F AC?
Oh! I check Citymarket regularly but haven't for a couple of weeks.
I made a pot of chile con carne with home grown Aji Cristal last night between green and orange, and loved it - very unusual flavour, fruity and sweet. I don't have enough plants to keep up with my own demand though so I'll be buying yours regularly ;)
Yesterday I put fresh Aji Cristals into bbq, and it worked very well. The fiery part turned a bit of aggressive but the flavour was still there. My daughter(2years) tasted some of green AC, and said "hyvää".
Yes they are available at both, kesko and inex.
